The food is excellent for the price. Very good service & Steve stopped by our table to say hello. Shows great appreciation for his clients. BYOB but there is a nearby depanneur if you forget to bring booze. Definite recommendation.
Was there last night made a reservation far in advance for 5 got seated at a table for four so we were all cramped in the waiter spilled cheese in my Pellegrino water. Never replaced it. I had to order an extra bottle. My potatoes were cold. All in all it wasn't a great experience. I don't think I would go back
The food was EXCELLENT!! Greeted immediately at the door, server was quick, friendly, helpful…..the food was absolutely delicious!! We were in the area for only a couple of days, but if we had been staying closer to Vivaldi, we would have eaten there every night! Great value for the price….if you are wondering where to eat…do not hesitate going to this restaurant. PS: We had the bruschetta, veal scallopini dijonnaise, shrimp sambuca, vanilla crème brûlée & tiramisu. Would recommend all of these dishes!
A west island staple for italian cuisine. Well priced, bring your own wine. Delicious Italian classics. The fried calamari was fresh. The octopus was well seasoned & tasty. The eggplant parm was good & the veal masalla didn't disappoint. Great portion sizes. The service was on point. Very satisfied with my first time experience. Great italian cuisine, I would highly recommend trying it out.

If you are looking for truly authentic Italian cuisine in the West Island, Vivaldi on Gouin is an absolute gem.
Having been a customer here for over a decade, I can confidently say the quality has remained remarkably consistent & top-tier over the years.
The freshness of the seafood is always the standout for me-whether it's the calamari or their signature pasta dishes, everything tastes incredibly fresh & expertly prepared.
It's rare to find a spot that perfectly balances a high-end culinary experience with such a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
From the service to the flavors, it is consistently excellent. If you appreciate traditional Italian recipes done right, this is easily one of the best spots in Montreal. Highly recommended❗?
Amazing gnocchi & fantastic service. My girlfriend & I went & had a wonderful time despite the boomer league of goofballs sitting next to us. Thanks for the great food & youtube videos. Vivaldi 🔊
