I really wished I liked this place. Between the server having no clue where or what anything was to my meal being undercooked, it was a poor experience.

I would only recommend this to local college students or folks that want a chill meal. I DO NOT recommend for a date night or a more intimate meal.

We stopped for dinner tonight . We are vegetarians and even for us the menu offered a wide selection of pastas that are made from scratch. Mr. Louis was our server. One amazing gentleman and an asset to this organization! His recommendations were to the point, all dishes suggested by him were delicious and quite large servings too. If you are visiting Montreal city, you wouldn't go wrong in dining here. Reservations are recommended if it is weekends.

We were on the 3rd floor, apart from the painted brick walls it gives a false warehouse look without any style. Tony was friendly and good, fast service. It's a good time to close and remodel. It's not bad, just not very good. Crescent is no longer the grande dame of downtown...

My wife was craving Italian, so we decided to drop by Weinstein & Gavino's, and it's been ages since our last visit. I'm happy to report that nothing has changed—everything is still fantastic. The homemade pasta is just as delicious as I remembered, and the kids' pizza was a hit. The salmon was really good too—cooked perfectly. The service was excellent, and since it was a weekday, the place wasn't crowded. To top it off, finding parking right in front was a rare treat—especially in Montreal! Definitely a sign that we were meant to be here.

Good food but service leaves something to be desired. Employees seem disinterested or too busy for you. We weren't offered the bread, we had to ask and insist twice to receive the birthday cake, and it finally arrived just as we were putting on our coats to leave, with only two forks for four people. Impossible to ask for more, because no one takes care of you. And once we had paid, the service completely disappeared so we had to eat the cake without water or anything.

This was such a great choice! The food and service were superb! The place was very spacious and very busy (a good sign) but also noisy. I guess that's expected in an Italian restaurant.

We are visiting from NYC and wanted some good Italian. Was excited when we found this place with homemade pasta.
Pros - great service . Mussels were good
Cons - 1. Homemade pasta texture was not at all what we are used to in nyc or Italy. Pasta was not elastic , it was like eating pasta made from chick peas or something, very grainy. We had linguini with pesto and the pesto was tasteless. Usually we find places too salty, first time I complain it was not salty or any taste at all.
2. We had Margherita pizza and it was basically a cheese pizza, not fresh mozzarella on it. It was soggy and could had used more taste also.

Won’t recommend this restaurant at all.

Food is great, and the service is super fast. We hadn’t even finished our appetizers when the main course arrived right away! Plus, the waiter is cute!

Excellent service, the attendant made an effort to communicate in our language, even though communication was good in English.
The quantity of food is very good.
For two people, a lasagna, a carbonara and a Pepsi - C$79.35.

This Italian restaurant is a true treasure! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like stepping into Italy. The food is exceptional—authentic, fresh, and full of rich flavors. I tried their handmade pasta, and it was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of sauce that tasted like it had been simmering all day.

Their pizza is incredible, with a thin, crispy crust and toppings that taste straight from a local market in Italy. The wine list offers excellent options that pair beautifully with the meal, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and passionate about the food they serve. Whether you’re here for a special occasion or just craving great Italian cuisine, this place won’t disappoint. Highly recommend!
