Wienstein & Gavino's Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
ItalianPizzaGrillPastaBrunchGreat selection of winesResto-Bar
The creation of young, up and coming Montreal restaurateurs, Wienstein & Gavino’s debuted in Montreal in 1996. W&G is a large Mediterranean restaurant spanning two floors and complimented by two terraces in the summer months. A large bar is the focal point of the first floor while the open kitchen complete with brick pizza oven is the main attraction upstairs. W&G is best known for its fresh, homemade pasta and traditional sauces and thin crust pizza. There is also a good selection of steaks, veal, and seafood. W&G serves lunch and dinner every day with a weekly table d’hôte available daily at $12-$16 for lunch and starting at $23 for dinner. In addition, a selection of pizza and pasta is available for 10$ from 11a.m. until 3p.m. for the lunch crowd and after 10pm every day for late night diners looking for a meal after the game, a concert downtown or before hitting the dance floor. W&G can also accommodate groups and can plan your party for you whether you’ve invited 10 people or 300 people! From Monday to Friday there is a “happy hour” at the W&G bar where guests can enjoy 2 for 1 from 4pm until 8pm. After cocktails at the bar, you can choose from one of the largest wine cellars in the city, stocked with reasonably priced wines, private imports, or premium fine wines. The focus is always fun at W&G with a DJ keeping things lively on the weekend and special events year-round. There is always something interesting going on at W&G!

Review Summary

Reviews highlight Wienstein & Gavino's as a lively Italian spot on Crescent Street with fresh pasta, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a reliable downtown option for pizza, pasta, and seafood. The pasta is frequently described as fresh and flavorful with items such as pesto al basilico, fettuccine Alfredo, ravioli, and other house specialties, and the pizzas and arancini are often cited as standouts along with burrata bruschetta. The service is praised for friendliness and attentiveness, though there are occasional notes of slower pace or less consistent front of house during busy times, and a few visits mention noise level and large crowds. The ambience is described as chic yet comfortable, with a vibrant energy, warm bread with olive oil, and a solid wine and cocktail program that pairs well with meals, sometimes with lively terrace options. Some reviews point to minor drawbacks such as occasional heavy sauces, limited menu clarity on certain dishes, or accessibility concerns, but the consensus is that the restaurant delivers flavorful Italian fare in generous portions at good value, prompting repeat visits and recommendations to friends.

Espace très vaste, parfait pour les très grand groupe.
Service excellent, notre groupe étant d'une cinquantaine, ça été exceptionnel. Très bon rapport qualité / prix.

Chic resto branché, bonne bouffe, bon prix. C'est une bonne place à aller en groupe. La musique est un peu trop forte pour des soirées plus intimes, mais l'ambiance est idéale pour le happy hour & le souper branché.

Le service est plus efficace que chaleureux.

J'y retourne souvent.

J'y étais déjà allée dans le passé, & j'en avais gardé un bon souvenir. Cette fois, j'ai moins apprécié. Nous étions un groupe & fêtions la fête d'une amie. Le serveur, bien que sûrement pétri de bonne fois, semblait complètement dépassé par les événements, requérant notre patience à chaque fois qu'il parlait. Ce n'est pas parce que vous nous demandez d'être patients que d'attendre constamment après vous est excusable, mon cher. Les plats étaient bons, mais pas extraordinaire, & ça ne valait surtout pas le prix. Une minestrone, des penne à la gigi & deux bières pour un total de 45$. La soupe était immense, mais le plat principal m'a laissée sur ma faim. C'est exagéré. Certains des convives ont dû faire des pieds & des mains pour seulement obtenir la carte des vins. Une autre convive avait demandé une salade avec une crevette en extra, elle a obtenu la brochette au complet, & ce, bien après sa salade, alors qu'elle avait précisé vouloir les deux ensemble. Certains des membres du personnel ne se gênaient pas pour nous crier après lorsque nous nous trouvions sur leur chemin par inadvertance. Cela rendait tout le monde mal à l'aise. Bref, la nourriture était bonne, mais le service long, & le rapport qualité/prix très ordinaire.
