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.

Service was great. Tiramisu, mocktail & calamars were perfect. I had the seafood pasta. Pasta was just okay. However, they give a loooot of pasta full of seafood so you truly get your money's worth.

Everything about this Italian style restaurant is top shelf. The food & drinks are excellent, as is the service. The staff is both skilled & friendly. I loved the'distressed' wall motif that add an old world charm.

There is no parking. Walk or take a cab to get there

The food was delicious, but the restaurant was very crowded & noisy. The music was really loud, & some of the waiters' behavior wasn't good.

Dined here last night, & it was excellent. Had the arugula salad, the veal scallopini with mushrooms, & the Oso Buco was the best! Had the Nutella cheesecake for dessert, but would probably opt for the tiramisu next time. Cocktails were also good & I would recommend the caipirinha
