Trattoria Trestevere est décrite comme un restaurant italien traditionnel et chaleureux, avec une ambiance cosy et familiale et un service attentif et convivial. Le cadre simple et sans chichi et l'accueil chaleureux sont souvent soulignés, tout comme la qualité des plats. La carte propose des plats italiens authentiques et généreux, avec des favoris comme gnocchi rosé, lasagne, tortellini et carpaccio, ainsi que calamari, veau parmigiana et linguine aux fruits de mer. Les portions sont généreuses et les plats sont décrits comme délicieux et bien préparés, rappelant l'Italie traditionnelle. Des bémols concernent des prix parfois élevés et quelques détails comme une boisson facturée sans avertissement ou des variations de température, mais dans l'ensemble les retours restent majoritairement positifs et donnent envie de revenir pour l'ambiance, le service et le goût qui évoquent une vraie expérience italienne.
I asked ChatGPT to recommend an authentic Italian restaurant near our hotel in Montreal to take a client for dinner, & Trattoria Trestevere came up as the #1 suggestion. Let me just say-it more than lived up to that recommendation!
From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional-the warm & welcoming atmosphere, the charming location, & above all, the world-class service & food. We were fortunate to be served by the owner himself, who graciously guided us through a lineup of unforgettable appetizers: calamari, zucchini fries, beef carpaccio, prosciutto with melon, & the most incredible mozzarella in carrozza covered in the most delicious tomato sauce....I noticed on the way out a sign that says you can buy the sauces to take home....if I lived in Montreal, I would be buying their sauce by the Liter! Each dish was perfectly prepared & full of authentic Italian flavor.
For our mains, we enjoyed a variety of dishes-from veal parmigiana, seafood linguine, & filet mignon with pasta, to lasagna, rigatoni, & the highlight for me: the homemade spinach & ricotta stuffed pasta (I believe it was called malfatti). Every single person at the table said it was the best Italian food they've ever had. We ended the night with a spread of decadent desserts-tiramisu, crème brûlée, ice cream, & fried gnocchi with Nutella (which was out of this world). We sipped the best cappuccino I've ever tasted & were treated to a round of limoncello by the owner to finish the evening.
This restaurant is a gem-authentic, warm, delicious, & truly unforgettable. It was the highlight of our time in Montreal, & we are already planning to come back. Thank you, Trattoria Trestevere, for a truly special evening. Bless you! 🙏🏻
Ps. Sorry, I didn't take any photos of the food because we ate it all & were too excited to taste everything as soon as we got it ☺?
$45 for seafood pasta that contained literally 2 shrimp & a sliced tube of squid. That's it. Prices are insane regarding value of what you pay for. Pasta tasted good. But there are many restaurants within a km with better value for the money.

I really enjoyed the restaurant. The service was great. The service on the patio was prompt & friendly. The guys out front were very welcoming & friendly. The food was amazing. Honestly the best pasta I've had, it was perfectly cooked & prepared. The portion sizes are perfect not too much & not too little. Overall a great experience. Would definitely come & eat again here!
Excellent fish & pasta. Really. Location of the dinning room below the sidewalk level is interesting as well... service is... a bit rough. Very italian maybe ? Not sure...
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
I would recommend this restaurant to anybody who wants to eat truly authentic Italian food. Everything we had was amazing & the service was great. The homemade pasta really stood out to me. Thank you especially to Mauro, I will surely be passing by often!

This place has to be the absolute worst Italian food I've ever had in my life. I'm Italian so trust me. I know. Service was decent but it took 1 hour to get the pasta we ordered that probably came from a can. I ordered the caprese salad. What a joke! The mozzarella was similar to a no name pizza mozzarella you can get anywhere with a shelf life of 5 years. Special note to the chef. Caprese salad is made with fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes olive oil & basil. So simple but yet you messed it up. Try using Italian tomatoes for a tomato sauce & starting with extra virgin olive oil. It's a must to be considered Italian food. I can go on & on here. Save your money. Pizza pizza is more Italian
It was the first night of our spring break & they treated us so nicely. The service was amazing & we felt so welcomed! The snails were amazing & the homemade pasta was so fresh! Definitely would recommends to anyone looking for a fun experience. - UMASS Girls
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.
The place is small but very nice & has a comfortable atmosphere. Waiter was courteous & kind. I ordered the Ceasar Salad entrée to a Veal Parmesan with Spaghetti rosé side. The Ceasar Salad was incredible! Best dressing I've had! Veal was cooked perfectly & had great flavour. Pasta was good too, sauce was little watery for my preference. Overall a fantastic experience & I would definitely come back if I was in the area.

Welcoming staff in this warm subterranean restaurant. Decent wine list with choices for every budget. Traditional Italian dishes well prepared & served with care. Veal was delicious & pasta served al-dente. Recommend this for a special occasion.
We were served by a handsome fellow, Mauro who was very helpful in guiding us with our choices. Pasta & veal dishes were delicioso . We will defintely return. The look of the restaurant is a bit old; not trendy at all. Watch your footsteps at the entrance. Once inside, it feels comfy. Tables are well spaced apart for privacy & we were offered a choice of tables, which was very nice of him as we did not have reservations. The house wine, by the glass was surprisingly good. Went down very easy. Tiramisu was "yumful".
