Server are rude & disrespectful 😤
They should be fired for their arrogance, it clearly stinks milles away...especially the Italian waiter who tried to attack me for no reason 🤔
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 🔊
After following Vivaldi & the content they share, I traveled from Toronto to Vivaldi just to try it out. I was NOT disappointed! - I recommend making a reservation, I was fortunate to get a table for two as a Tuesday walk-in! If you wish to drink, they are a BYOB restaurant. So bring along a bottle of your finest wine & enjoy some great cuisine along with it! Cheers to all the staff at Vivaldi!

I don't know what the people making 1 star reviews are smoking , but they need to'put the pipe down' ...
This place was Dynamite! Everything about it. I recommend the Grilled Cream Salmon & the Aglio E Olio (which tastes like my Grandma used to make it) & it's bring your own wine.
