Review Summary

Wienstein & Gavino's is a popular downtown destination that draws many visitors for its lively atmosphere, generous portions of Italian cuisine, and varied menu featuring fresh pasta, pizza, and seafood. While many guests praise the exceptional service, high-quality dishes like the risotto and ravioli, and the cozy, rustic decor across multiple levels, experiences can be inconsistent. Some patrons have reported frustrations regarding noise levels, occasional issues with front-of-house reservation management, and mixed feedback on specific menu items like pizza crust or sauce seasoning. Nevertheless, the restaurant remains a favorite for group celebrations and family dinners, with many recurring visitors consistently highlighting the friendly and attentive staff who go out of their way to ensure a memorable visit.

Weinstein & gavino's is in my top ten favorite restaurants in North America. Always a great meal & a great atmosphere. I love that they're open late. & it's a great place to eat if you're dining alone as the bar is very comfortable & the bartenders can be very welcoming.

We picked the place to try their pastas. We got to the place without a reservation, we were able to get accommodated on the spot. The server was very kind as well as the hosts.

Personally I love a good pasta, but this restaurant did not hit the spot, our pastas were a bit too overly garnish with cilantro, to the taste they were too garlicky & the pasta seemed too molto al dente. As we both were hungry, we decided not to mention it to our server since due to our hunger waiting whether for a remake or a different plate wasn't ideal in our situation.

As a guest that is paying for the experience of the plate, I don't believe the price point reflects the value of the product. I wouldn't suggest to try their pasta, is my second time giving it a shot this year & it's not really a place that I would recommend compared to other competitors around the area.

Their food quality is getting worse over time

I considered it to be the best italian place in mtl but not anymore, it seems like the food is not worth the price theyre putting it up for.

I've been here a few times & always had great experiences. The staff is amazing, so the service is amazing. The place is beautiful. The food is delicious. The vibes are immaculate. They have lots of space for big groups- I highly recommend celebrating your birthday here. Its also a cute & cozy date spot. They are happy to accommodate vegans by omitting cheese from their vegetarian dishes. I highly recommend this place & am eager for my next visit.
