Fantastic restaurant! Real authentic…. Great food fair prices. Been around over 50 years! The service is second to none. What a culinary experience!!!!!!
As a solo dinner, I've never felt more comfortable than dining at Trattoria Testavere. This fine Italian restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Montreal on Crescent street down the block from Ste. Catherine. The atmosphere is welcoming & Mauro, the owner makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. But most important is the food & service you get. The tortellini Gigi was the best I've ever had & the appetizers were phenomenal. No wonder this establishment has been around for over 50 years!!!
A wonderful night of food & wine. I'll definitely be back to try a few more dishes.
Thanks Mauro
The restaurant has a nice'homey' vibe. The service is amazing. The food, in my opinion, is basic. I had the Risotto Pescatora. The sauce was really good. The risotto tasted like normal rice & it contained very little seafood. If I remember correctly, it had 3 shrimps, 3 squids & although I'm sure there was other seafood options in it, I couldn't see any….. I guess the pieces weee too small.
I asked the others with me about their food, & all said the same thing.' nothing to write home about'.

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 ☺?
