Portuguese & Italian dishes on the menu threw me off a little but the service was accommodating & it was fun guessing the cover songs that were playing.
Be aware that the paella takes about 40 minutes to prepare. The seafood rice casserole that was offered as an alternative arrived quickly & it was pretty good. Nata de ceu wasn't for me, but definitely recommend to anyone who like Maria biscuits, nice presentation too.

I really enjoyed this restaurant just off of Blvd St. Laurent. The menu is extensive, the homemade pasta is amazing & the Portuguese chicken is an incredible deal! I was in Montreal for 4 nights & ate dinner here for twice!

What a hidden gem!! The menu is half Italian, half Portuguese. The prices are very reasonable (check out their menu online) with great specials. I went there planning on having Portuguese food but the special on pasta was too good to pass up. I was blown away by the fresh pasta with mushrooms & truffle paste. It was phenomenal! Service was great. Nice atmosphere. Definitely returning to this restaurant!!

We had some Portuguese appetizers & some pasta as main. Everything was excellent but the mushroom pasta was outstanding!!! The wine selection is very good & inexpensive. The Aperol spritz was spot on. I have been telling everyone I know about this place & already planning our next visit!

I went for my graduation party! The food, the ambiance, the decor & service was impeccable. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to try Italian/portuguese cuisine. The drinks are also delicious. It's my 3rd time here & I will continue coming back!

Delicious food with fresh ingredients served as an art for its taste & creativity. The service is welcoming & very professional; the client's experience with food & social gathering is a priority to the owner & his staff members. Parking is also easy to find. The blend of Portuguese & Italian cuisine made it a perfect Mediterranean experience. The chef has a magical touch; try it & you'll understand. I highly recommend to try both the Portuguese & Italian dishes. One of my favourites is the octopus served on a bed of homemade hummus, the fish stew, the chicken & the pizza. Ps. Everything is homemade like in Portugal & Italy.. Pasta & pizza dough are made at ViVa.
