“Un des best resto italiens à Montréal“

“Excellent repas, service impeccable avec le sourire. Je recommande“

“The food here was truly amazing. We had the raw halibut which was similar to a ceviche, the muscles with the salsa which were my favourite, pork and beef skewers, as well as three different salads, the green mint bean salad, the salad with mixed greens, as well as the zucchini salad. We also had the grilled arctic char and the lobster risotto. The risotto portion, I expected to be larger esp as a main, but with all the food we had, we were full.“

“Excellent service from Dominique despite a very busy evening. Impeccable food.
(carbonara dough and gambori pizza)
Pleasant music, not too loud. Small downside, the table is very close to each other but with the music it creates a screen between the conversation of the table next to it!“

“The owner is friendly and the food is excellent. I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys real Italian food.“

“Great pizza. Excellent staff.“

“Staff was excellent. Food was delicious. Atmosphere amazing. I’m a foodie from NY. I would put them up against any NY restaurant!!!“

“La Spada is an absolute gem in Montreal! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu, offering great recommendations tailored to my preferences.

The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish was a perfect balance of flavor, presentation, and authenticity. The fresh, house-made pasta was the highlight—cooked to perfection with rich, flavorful sauces that transported me straight to Italy. Their wine selection was equally impressive, with options that paired beautifully with every course.

What truly sets La Spada apart is the attention to detail. From the quality of the ingredients to the beautifully plated desserts, everything exudes care and excellence. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a great meal, La Spada is the place to go. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!“

“This place is EXACTLY what we hope look for when we’re on vacation: A casual, non-pretentious place with food that is absolutely delicious! I enjoyed the charcuterie Panino and my wife had a Porchetta panino. Both were literally the best paninis we’ve had in North America and much of Italy. They both featured a special “relish” (for lack of a better word) that was a mix of lettuce, peppers pearl onions and exquisite seasoning. I wish I could have that on every sandwich I eat - forever! The mixtures is both exceptionally tasty and a bit spicy. When I took my first bite it was like a party in my mouth! I knew almost immediately that it was one of the best sandwiches that I’d ever had. Then my wife gave me a bite of her porchetta panino and THAT was even better. The seasoning on that pork just exploded my taste buds… and I’m not even a big fan of pork. One of the keys to the greatness of these sandwiches is the amazing bread. It has a perfect combination of a delicious, delicate center with a perfect, gourmet-crunchy crust. Not too hard or thick, but just right for marrying with the perfection of the ingredients.
Not to be outdone were the staff! They were all every bit as wonderful as the food, and so welcoming and helpful. My wife and I truly can’t recommend the Parma Café enough. They served us a meal that we kept reflecting on with great fondness the rest of our trip. In fact, there is a very famous deli in Montreal called Schwartz’s which is known around the world for its amazing sandwiches. We ate there the day before and it was, indeed, good , but if I had to choose between the two, I’d eat at Parma Café hands down every time. Enjoy.“

“If you want fresh pasta, pizza and Italian food just the way mama used to make, then this is the place for you! They also have an awesome selection of imported wines which go amazingly well with every meal. I love this place, and the owners & staff are super cool too….“

“Montréal à table à la Terasse du W Un mousseux "Crément d'alsace" pour accompagner mes "Crevettes et sorbet au cari": Crevettes marinées et grillées façon thaï (5), sorbet cari coco, lime, coriandre. Mon appréciation: crevette sucrée et piquante adouci par le sorbet rafraîchissant et gouteux, un délice. Un vin blanc "Sancerre" avec Tostadas à la pieuvre grillée (3) Pico de gallo, crème d’avocats, oignons marinés à l’hibiscus, piment chili, laitue et tomates. Mon appréciation: la pieuvre d'une belle tendretée, le tout excellent avec l'ajout de jus de lime. Sans la lime, on goûte bien l'oignon qui est sucré. Panna cotta au chocolat et au rhum Mousse de litchi: on goûte le amer du chocolat, le sucrée de la mousse de litchie équilibre l'assiette pour la gardée fraîche en bouche. Les boules croustillantes ajoute de la texture au plat. Excusez ma fin de rhume pour ne pas avoir goûté au rhum. Ambiance musical style lounge avec une touche qui donne envie de danser aux gens comme moi qui ont le beat dans le sang. Et que dire du service, ils m'ont mise à l'aise toute suite, moi qui va au restaurant seule, je me sentais comme une reine. J'ai pu goûter à different vin pour choisir celui qui me plaît. C'est agréable d'être certain de boire ce qu'on apprécie. Parfois, la barmaid savait plus que moi si j'appréciais le vin. Merci de m'avoir permis d'en goûter un autre.“

“The best experience since Italy. Amazing high quality food and top notch service.“

“Vraiment une belle découverte! Les plats étaient délicieux. Le personnel est accueillant et ils offrent tous un service impeccable! Belle ambiance et le meilleur espresso Martini que j’ai bu à date! J’y retournerai c’est garanti!“

“Had lunch November 3rd.First time there. It was excellent! Staff helpful as we were 2 people in wheelchairs.Would recommend it with no qualms.Our friends were most impressed.“

“Agréablement surpris. Tout simplement délicieux. A découvrir!!“

“We were in town for a convention and stopped here for breakfast twice the pricing is great, the food is delicious and the coffee was delicious! Really nothing bad to say just a great spot for breakfast I got the BLT one day and the steak and eggs another day with a hash brown. Both delicious! Would love to come back go try other things on the menu or at lunch (the Italian sandwiches look amazing“

“We celebrated a special event at Donato's on a regular Tuesday afternoon for lunch. We had an exquisite and memorable experience. The table d'hote had so many offerings at unbeatable prices. Every dish was served to perfection and our party of 4 agreed that there was nothing missing or lacking from this experience. Many thanks Tony for offering champagne on the house as we celebrated our daughter's graduation from Concordia. We WILL be back!“

“This Italian restaurant in Old Montreal is truly Beautiful and an absolute must-visit. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The food is authentic and bursting with rich flavors – you can taste the quality in every bite. The drinks were not only fantastic but also generously portioned and reasonably priced. The service was outstanding; the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, adding to the experience regardless of where you’re from. It was our first visit, and it made our trip unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back!“

“J'aime ce restaurant familial, ils ont le cœur sur la main les gens sont gentils, je me souviens durant la covid, c'était dur et ils ont pris le temps de remercier les clients avec u petits mots dans la commande à emporter la gratitude, c'est important et ils sont reconnaissants, ils donnent des desserts ou de la nourriture supplémentaire quand ils voient que vous commandez souvent.“

“There are many things to appreciate about this bistro, others we were not super excited about. I would probably try it again if I lived in the area, but will not do a detour for it.

What we liked: the nice, young lady who served us, the coziness of the place, the lentil soup and the lamb shank, the BYOB formula.
What was OK: the eggplant pasta, the side veggies that seem a bit of an afterthought. A bit expensive but that is usually the case in BYOB restaurants as they need to make a good profit on the food itself.
What could be improved: salad included in the meal is tiny and very generic; we had to go to the kitchen at the end to find the wait staff and ask for the bill; open kitchen very close to the dining area with a lot of noise and smells; a few words in French (Bonjour, Merci) would go a long way to make Québécois of all backgrounds feel welcome.“

“Un immense merci à Martin et toute son équipe pour le service exceptionnel lors des 60 ans de notre mère. Servir 75 personnes en même temps, ce n’est pas une mince affaire — et vous avez relevé le défi haut la main ! Dès la première rencontre avec Martin pour planifier la soirée, tout a été A1 : à l’écoute, de bons conseils, et toujours soucieux que tout le monde soit satisfait. Le choix du menu était excellent, et en plus, on a mangé chaud… wow, merci ! Les serveurs ont été d’une gentillesse remarquable. Le fait que les enfants soient servis en premier, j’ai trouvé ça vraiment attentionné. Demain matin, je recommencerais sans hésiter. Bravo et encore merci !“

“WoW! Meilleur resto en ville 👍 service et nourriture A1“

“Always amazing, never disappoints!! Highly recommended to all!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great. Fresh and high quality ingredients - the three courses were perfection. We will
Definitely be back! My only regret is not taking any photos. To include in my review. Very cool atmosphere and we loved all the music that was playing as well.“

“Les pâtes sont excellentes. Jamais mangé des pâtes Arrabiata aussi bonnes, elles sont parfaites. Carbonara, Gigi, Bolognese, très bonnes aussi. Salade César excellente, bâtonnets de fromage très bons. Et on apporte son vin en plus, quoi demandé de mieux 🥰“

“If you're in Montreal and love lasagna, this place is an absolute must-visit! Hands down, the best lasagna I've had in Canada. The layers were perfectly balanced, with the tomato paste hitting that ideal consistency—rich, flavorful, and not overly heavy. Every bite was perfection.

To top it off, the owner is one of the friendliest people I've ever met. His warmth and passion for his food make the experience even more special. You can feel the love and care that goes into every dish.

Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, heartwarming lasagna. I'll definitely be back!“

“Prompt and friendly service. Food was amazing.“

“It was the most amazing dinner! Shout out to Ali who served us beyond words; yummy food. I had the lamb chops, Costolleta & hubby with Pollo Parmigiana. Emptied the plate, turned the lamb chops into a toothpick… really… into a clean one! It was delicious!“

“Early review here,

So far the portions are lacking. Got the whipped ricotta and it only came with 4 pieces of fried pasta (the good part).

Will update once I have the main
Edit: the main was amazing! I had the rigatoni with beef ragu, and it was so good. The beef was in slightly too big of pieces, but was incredible in flavour.“
