Desserts, the wine list, and a sangria are frequently praised, and many say they would return, noting it as a good option for dinners, celebrations, or corporate gatherings.

Overall the impression is very favorable, with guests mentioning memorable meals, professional and personal service, and a sense of reliability that makes it a top choice for multiple visits.
We stumbled upon this place on Open Table. Our waiter Sandro (i think?) was amazing. He definitely made our time worthwhile. Their amaretto sour was delicious. The tuna tataki was amazing. Also really enjoyed their truffle butter sauce gnocci.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to, they truly never disappoint. Delicious drinks, the sausage gnocchi & tuna tataki are to die for. Definitely a must order. I also do not even like tiramisu & I'm obsessed with theirs!! Do not miss out 🤍
Great atmosphere, great service, & great food & food choices At times they will go out of their way & make you something of you're' own choice My wife & I have been regulars for a long time , we've been taken care of during COVID along with lots of other families from the neighborhood I personally am a meat & potatoes man & especially love they're home made MASHED POTATOES

The cozy yet elegant setting, attentive staff, & flawlessly executed dishes create a memorable dining experience. Each bite, especially the pasta, was a testament to authentic Italian cooking with a modern twist. Vago truly stands out as a must-visit for an exceptional Italian dining.
Amazing ambiance, a true gem in Westmount. Shaun gives an incredible level of service & hospitality, even if it's just for an espresso. Highly recommended.

This place is impeccable. The service is top notch. The atmosphere is sharp. The food is delectable morsel after delectable morsel. The whole experience was thoroughly pleasing & was worth far more than the bill at the end of the night. Go! You'll love it.

We came on Tuesday for lunch, 5 of us, the broccoli soup of the day was so salty I got a headache instantly with one spoon full, my husband & I both took it, our friends also tasted it & consensus was unanimous, extremely oversalted, we sent it back. I ordered the Taki Taki & Octopus, it was absolutely fantastic, mind you very small baby portions, it's a starter, just enough to wet the beak. Hubby got the fried calamari, also amazing, highly recommend, I should have ordered that too, then the grilled Veal over veggies, pounded to a thin patty, well prepared. The butter for the bread was rock solid, he should have took it out to thaw like an hour before opening, same for the desserts, the profiterole were also just out of the freezer, I couldn't get my knife through, had to stab it like some psycho to get to the middle, it should have been creamy but they were hard as a rock, however still delicious, not too sweet just perfect. The music was so loud I had to scream, then it was quiet so I think he figured it out. The paintings are fantastic, I was in awe just staring at them. Look, if you want professional perfect service & show off to clients go to the Keg, if you don't mind casual whatever service & overpriced food this is the place for you.
A delicious meal - my first time at this restaurant. Our server Evan was friendly & efficient. Lots of staff. Everything. Tasted delicious. I had Cesar salad & a pesto rigatoni which was wonderful. My wife had a minestrone soup & chicken parmigiana. Also very good. Pistachio tiramisu to end the meal. The owner came over to say hello & ask how our meal was. I shall return 👍 easy street parking in the evening
Insistance du serveur sur la carte des vins présentée sans le menu. Bouteille en plastique pour le service de l’eau. Les pâtes & le risotto…très ordinaires…la facture…beaucoup moins ?
Points positifs: le vin & la gentillesse du serveur.
