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

Overall, Weinstein Gavino's is praised for high-quality Italian fare, generous portions, and fresh pasta, with favorites like calamari, burrata bruschetta, arancini, seafood pasta, osso buco, and pizzas, all served in a lively downtown atmosphere with a warm bread and olive oil starter. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, and the bar and wine selections are well received, though several reviews mention crowds, noise, and occasional slow pacing during busy periods or small inconsistencies in timing and temperature.

Every one in our party had a great meal. Service was fast & friendly. Our wait for our food was just right. My pasta carbona was excellent. The warm crusty bread was a great way to start. We will be back.

This place is just amazing! I always end up here whenever I want to have Italian. It's the perfect mix of great food, romantic ambiance & amazing service. I love their Funghi di Bosco pasta made in white truffle oil. It's chef's kiss! I also like their Giardiniera pizza which is loaded with veggies. Their wine selection is also amazing. Talking about the service, the servers are very attentive & polite. It's the perfect place if you want to go on a date & since Valentine's Day is around the corner, you know where to go!

I brought my family here for dinner this past Saturday because of the advertised gluten-free pizza options. However, when we tried to order, we were informed there was no gluten-free crust available. This was very disappointing. On top of that, the service was rushed & impersonal-our server barely said more than a few words to us & came across as very cold. To make matters worse, four of us received our pasta dishes, but the fifth dish arrived 10 minutes later. Overall, the experience fell far short of expectations. I had high hopes for this place but, unfortunately, I cannot recommend it.

We recently visited, & were very disappointed compared to our previous experience. The quality of food has dropped significantly. The dishes lacked flavor & freshness, which was surprising given how much we enjoyed them during our last visit. Additionally, we faced a serious safety issue. A water glass at our table had a sharp edge, which caused a small injury to my 13-year-old daughter. This was deeply upsetting & completely unacceptable for any dining establishment. We expected much better based on our past visit, but unfortunately, this experience left us dissatisfied & concerned. I hope the management takes steps to address these issues promptly to ensure better service & safety for future patrons. Thanks.

Interior layout is outrageously cool & beautiful. Service is good. Pizza was pretty darn delicious. For those with a gluten allergy: they have a gluten free dough, you could never tell the difference between regular & non-glutenous dough. Recommend for Italian food lovers!!

Meh. I think it's overrated. They could use a decor refresh. Food was average.
