I had the bruschetta with feta, the calamari & the tortellini a la Contessa. The bruschetta was perfect. I've never had such a well-balanced bruschetta with a crostini so perfectly sliced & with just the right amount of crispiness to it that there's a crunch without cutting up your mouth. The calamari was just firm enough without being chewy & the breading was perfectly seasoned & melts in your mouth. The veal tortellini was impeccable; you can really tell they make their own pasta & sauces from scratch. The service was fast & delightful, the food was amazing, this is definitely a place you have to check out if you love good Italian food & one of the best restaurants in Montreal period.
The best pasta 😋 Lovett I ben in other pasta restaurant all over mtl laval this one is the best pasta I had fantastic 5+💫💫💫💫💫🔺?🔺?I'm coming back soon
Restaurant was busy. There was 6 in our group. Food was mixed. Appetizers were decent. Mains not so much. Eggplant Parmesan was under cooked. Pasta sauce was so-so. Pizza wasn't the best I've had but was OK. Our waitress did the best she could serving us & a large group seated beside us. Dishes came out with gaps in between for our group. Not going back there. Sorry
Follow the youtube channel. Came to visit from Vancouver, worth traveling all this way! Had chicken de la casa & fried zucchini. Other people had various pastas. Food was reasonably priced with good portions & amazing taste. Its byob as well which keeps your bill down for more food to enjoy!
Who knew such a great place existed in the West Island? I had a delicious pizza & my family had pasta, which they also really, really enjoyed. For dessert, I had their chocolate cake, which was wonderful: tasted like homemade & not too sweet. The server was very friendly & made us feel welcome. Loved the experience & highly recommended to anyone wanting to check it out.
Huge portions, great food, great service from our server Jesse !!!! Would definitely recommend - incredibly reasonably priced
Had the table d'hote (pasta & chicken a la casa)
This place was interesting. The menu is super outdated, think marsala & pamigianas. The pasta was not great, & the veal was slightly bland. The sauce & the mushrooms were delicious though. I think they can take the time to remove the butter from the awful plastic cups. The tiramumisu was soggy.
But the price was worth it. Granted, they don't sell alcohol. But I wasn't mad at all at the bill. This place is not fine dining, it's the local Italian-Canadian neighbourhood resto we all had. This is theirs.
Had a good time. Simple. Not worth the trip from Montreal if you are just visiting though, there's better versions of this food.
Wow. Best seafood pasta I ever had. The scallops, shrimp, mussels were all huge & tasty.
Came here from the YouTube videos! All the food was amazing. Pasta was delicious, staff were friendly, & the atmosphere was great!
I highly recommend a reservation since its always busy.
I'll definitely return!

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❗?
