50 Best Italian Restaurants near Westmount

“We love eating here! Great casalinga food!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Vago never disappoints! Go-to restaurant in Westmount. Always accommodating, excellent service, and great food! Let’s not forget one of the owners, Tommaso, is 10/10! I’ve brought many friends there and it’s nothing but good times! Highly recommend!“

“A wonderful dining experience. Food, service and ambiance. Nora Gray delivers 😍“

“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.“

“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!“

“Everything. Chef Paulo is fabulous. Alessandro is fabulous.Food is fabulous.Location is fabulous.“

“The pasta was super fresh and tasty. The staff was attentive. From the water, to the the bread, to the attention. Niza is an amazing server. My only slight complaint was there is a noise level. The ceilings are high and there aren't any sound absorbing fixtures. There was a party of 100 for a baby shower. All in all I did love the food and service.“

“Wow! this place was assolutamente perfetto!! I ordered the Parma sandwich and every bite brought me back to Italy! 💛 The pistachio cannolis were also quite tasty! Thanks again for the amazing service! 💛“

“Food was unbelievable staff was amazing. Definitely recommend this restaurant to all family and friends.“

“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.“

“Great price for the amount of food given 5.00$. Wow 😮“

“J'ai pris raviolis et bavette elle fondait dans la bouche je vous la recommande“

“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….“

“Un plaisir un délice !!! Branzino était fantastique“

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

“Came across this “pizza” restaurant because it sits across the drive from Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal. What a pleasant surprise. We didn’t order pizza (must come back for that) but from their absolutely delicious, as it turns out, menu. Our dishes were premium and comfort rolled into one. If this place is a secret, it won’t last long.“

“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.“

“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!“

Would love to come back go try other things on the menu or at lunch (the Italian sandwiches look amazing“
