Wienstein & Gavino's Downtown, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reservations (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.

The atmosphere is lovely. Service was great. The patio upstairs & outside is beautiful. I definitely recommend the pastas. The pizza was not good at all.

Ambiance is nice, I came alone & felt very comfortable. The waiter was very helpful & reviewed the menu thoroughly. Ended up getting the lambchops + half portion of mediterranean salad & it was both delicious. Came with the option of potatoes / fries & veggies. Highly recommend! Also, I was hesitant to go in since I'm not dressed up & it looks fancy but they were very welcoming!

beautiful restaurant, music isn't too loud which makes it more enjoyable of an atmosphere. staff is amazing, great service as always. prices are great, food is awesome. i always say, the best way to judge a place is by the taste of their aranchini! a very good aranchini here .

I get takout from here all the time, & usually the food is good. However, sometimes they are so unnecessarily cheap with the amount they give, & they charge real prices for such thriftiness to feel very unwarranted.

My visit here was pleasant, the food met the standards for it price point however I do believe the restaurants table plan to be rather inconvenient especially for those close to the waiting tables on the upper level. I really enjoyed my food & so did my friends but I couldn't get over how due to the setup every time the waitress had to pass behind my friend & I they continuously hit our chairs so for that reason I'd rate my experience a four.

Upon arrival seated immediately, beautiful atmosphere, tables extremely sticky/dirty, regardless of where you sit they need to address this, Ordered fettuccine Carbonara, Pasta had been pre-cooked & stuck together in clumps & hard not the way you should be served a $25 plate of pasta, ordered the pepperoni & mushroom pizza, tomato sauce extreme Acidic, dough flop huge, soggy base, been here many times over the decades food is progressively worse. Shame could be the place to be. If you check my reviews they are honest & without prejudice. If you want Italian food go somewhere else.

This is my favourite Italian restaurant in Montreal. The service & atmosphere are wonderful. I love the rustic space between the 2 levels. I appreciate them having vegan options.

I didn't go, but my finance & two friends went on their bachelorette trip & the employees working searched the whole restaurant to find them for me so I could pay their tab! They were extremely nice & didn't give up until they found them on the busy night!
