Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Trattoria Trestevere as a warm, family‑run Italian spot with a cozy, unpretentious vibe and a staff that makes guests feel welcome from start to finish. The food is consistently praised for authentic flavors and classic dishes such as gnocchi, lasagna, veal parmigiana, seafood pasta and carpaccio, with several highlights including gnocchi rosé and a rich dessert selection. While the interior is described as charmingly old‑school rather than upscale and prices can be on the higher side for some, the generous portions, thoughtful service and lively, homey atmosphere make the experience worth it for many diners. Multiple reviews emphasize the standout hospitality and explanations of the menu, and many say they would return or recommend it for a romantic evening, family dinner or casual night out. In essence, Trattoria Trestevere is frequently portrayed as a dependable, welcoming place for traditional Italian cooking, where good service and comforting flavors leave a lasting impression.

It is a sweet & quaint very home like vibe. Not a bunch of glitz & glam but it was an old school Italian restaurant, very approachable & has the best espresso martini I have had in years. The chicken parm & the shrimp in the garlic wine sauce was exceptional. I went the previous year to another Italian restaurant in Montréal with all that glitz & glam & the food was a flop. This food here exceeded my expectations. The restaurant was very cozy & romantic perfect for a date night.

I'm surprised to see some negative reviews about this restaurant. I've been fortunate to frequent this restaurant with my family for the past 20 years. It was our families weekend tradition & I'll never forget the incredible memories I've built with my family, my late father & now my wife & son. Mauro & his team have always treated everyone like their own family & I sincerely believe it's on the best Italian restaurants in Montreal. If you haven't been to Trattoria yet, then you absolutely need to check it out. My favourite is the chicken Parm & the lemon chicken but the lasagna & the pastas are also amazing. Everything is cooked from scratch & cooked to order. It's important to support local & this restaurant deserves it. 5 stars

We came here around a week ago, the Owner & staff provided a magnificent service for me & my brother. The chicken parm was amazing & we really just had a phenomenal time.

If it's authentic, tasty Italian food you're after then Trattoria Trestevere, on Crescent Street in downtown Montreal, is worth checking out. The cozy interior has a distinct European vibe, a great start to your visit. My starter, a Mixed Salad, was fresh & simple. I followed that with an exceptional Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken was moist & breaded just right. The tomato sauce & mozzarella cheese were so tasty & fresh. The pasta too was fresh & cooked to perfection. For dessert I tried the Fried Gnocchi, dusted with icing sugar, on a thin bed of Hazelnut sauce. Delicious! My only caution was a surprising lack of attention to serving etiquette. Each of the three or four Staff that served us, while generally pleasant, reached directly in front of me on a few occasions. I would certainly return to try other items on the menu.

Service was exceptional. They were very friendly & attentive. Food was only ok. We shared the calamari appetizer & the chicken Parmesan & Crème brûlée for dessert. Food was okay but did not stand out.
