50 Best Italian Restaurants near Outremont

“Shamefully I forgot to rate this amazing Italian restaurant. Even if you are not vegetarian, you should try Penne All’Arrabbiata. Do you think it’s too simple? Think twice ? Don’t reject the dessert. You should try Affogato. Can’t you find it on the menu? I am not surprised ? It’s not there, but ask them. It’s a combination of two delicious items: Italian coffee espresso and their Vanilla ice cream.“

“I heard good things about Elena and I understand the hype now! We tried a lot of different kind of pizza and they were all very good. I generally prefer the ones with tomato sauce but I enjoyed trying different flavours. The pizza with the potatoes and the one with the mushrooms was nice to try. I didn’t enjoy the 4 cheese one but that’s just my preference. Their dough was the star of the show 10/10! It was delicious!“

“I had a beautiful dining experience here on April 25. Service was friendly, attentive and provided knowledgeable recommendations. The lamb meatball spaghetti was superb. Well curated wine list - suited to the restaurant. Cool, fun, interesting and delicious! I will definitely be back & highly recommend you to visit :)“

“Amazing meal, I sat at the bar, and the bartender was awesome in assisting with drink pairings for my different courses. Tried some things I never would have and it was all delicious!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp going into the restaurant, and once inside there are no stairs that I saw (I believe it is only one level). Bathroom was roomy and accessible.“

“Une merveilleuse expérience à toute heure du jour ou du soir où la qualité du service et des plats font honneur, encore et toujours, à la notoriété du restaurant! 5 ⭐️ Merci au Muscadin de nous faire revivre ses classiques ❤️❤️❤️“

“The atmosphere is trendy and inviting and the service was impeccable without being pretentious. Each dish was delicious while featuring seasonal ingredients. We particularly liked the radish salad. Nice selections of natural wines and cocktails. Do not miss!“

“Located on the top floor of the Eaton Centre, Time Out Market has an great atmosphere and vibe. I have yet to try any of the restaurants, but the beer/wine bar was above my expectations. Bartenders and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Prices are fairly reasonable, I’d recommend the Flacatoune beer by Microbrasserie Charlevoix. ?Can get very busy after five on weeknights, so arrive early.“

“Overall, pizza was tasty, cooked perfectly, and had quality ingredients. However, there was wayyyy too much pecorino on my Sazeech pizza, and probably too much mozzarella as well. The mozzarella was tolerable, but the pecorino was seriously overpowering. Still, an enjoyable experience.“

“Update April 2024, as good as ever! Wine list, service and food were 5 stars. If you want to splurge on a special occasion this is a top spot in Montreal to do so! Superb service and food. The food speaks for itself. Fresh ingredients, delishious dishes with great flavors. The service is some of the friendliest, most bilingual ive had recently. Could be a little over bearing if you dont want someone checking in on you very often, but for me it added to the night. Duck appetizer, the duck main and the roasted quail.“

“The drinks were lovely, the food amazing ( gnocchi light& delicious). The chef also is operatic quality tenor; we were lucky enough to hear him sing. Service was friendly attentive & excellent. Ambiance- very homey- mismatched chairs& such but added to charm. Can't wait to return!“

“What a welcome ! Thank you Josée for welcoming us to your home ☺️ our server, owner was exactly like my neighbor ? (Duvernay/Laval). The team is like its mentors. And what about the food. In addition, you should be informed that they make their pasta fresh so people with GLUTEN intolerance can also eat there because they have adapted their recipe. It was sumptuous! Thank you for everything !!!“

“Le Serpent in Montreal presents a pleasant dining space, yet the ambiance falls short of expectations. The cocktail offerings are adequate but not standout. Culinary highlights include a well-prepared octopus appetizer and a decent Angus AAA steak, though the steak's presentation and value might disappoint, particularly with the sauce not served separately. Overall, while the food is good, it may not fully justify the price, especially for the steak.“

“Went for brunch and all the food and mimosas were super delicious, I'd really recommend the fried cauliflower on the vegetarian all you can eat plate. I tried a friend's duck poutine and it was a little salty but very very delicious, our server Charles was very nice as “

“They do the best Neapolitan pizza in Montreal, for sure. Also other food is fresh and excellent. Stuff is kind, but unfortunately you can't reserve a table to eat pizza for more than 6 people. For a group of 7 or more, they oblige a group menu of $ 75 per person (with dishes chosen by their chef). The environment is small, but the real problem is the soft light that can't allow you to read the menu (when they put the music and the local is full, it's really difficult to stay).“

“I needed to bring myself out on a date and decided to treat myself at Impasto.1. Great atmosphere and ambiance; amongst friends, date or solo.2. Food cooked at the perfection. Maybe the pasta was a tad salty but everyone has different palate.3. Kind and attentive staff.My favourite seating might be by the window or bar (as always).Expect about $70-100 a head.Another one for my list when I have guest from out of town! Good job team ☺️?“

“I've loved pizza my whole life, and these were definitely on the top of my list. I eat all kinds of pizza, pan pizza, thin crust, stuffed crust, homemade, frozen, New York style, Chicago style, Italian pizza, Canadian pizza, etc., honestly speaking, pizza is just so versatile that I personally believe anything can be added on it. I've never seen a pizza menu with 77+ flavors. Besides the pizza per se, the highlight of the experience to me was the fact that they served olive oil and red chili pepper flakes on the side, which made me feel like it was a "healthier cheat meal". Thank you for the great experience. Servers were so nice as well! Will be back there again!P.s. We didn't make a reservation, but we noticed there were people queueing up to get in after 6pm.“

“At first glance it is a quaint, small typical style old montreal restaurant. Exposed stone walls giving us the feel of once upon a time. The wine cellar is large and visible. The staff are all quite friendly and courteous. The owner is friendly, present and on top of it all. The food was tasty. I guess all that one looks for in a eatery of this caliber. So we ate well. We drank well. And we enjoyed each other's company. ( By we I mean my very good friend from out of town and I.)Unfortunately the one thing that bothered me the most was that when I booked our table I was told that, (after much hum and ha-ing by the person taking the reservation), we would have to be done and out by 8 pm . So I agreed thinking that an early dinner,( 6pm) would not be a great issue and having till 8 pm would be more than enough time to enjoy my birthday dinner . Well from 6 till 8 there were a total of 8 people in the entire restaurant. As we left there was only two other people still eating. And no one madly rushing the restaurant to come in. I don't think we needed to be told that we had a cut off time if there were barely any other souls coming. It just made us feel rushed. I understand the logistics of it all. If you create a scenario where there is hight demand then most people will possibly want nothing more than to have an IN to the popular restaurant. So there you have it. The entire evening was enjoyable and yummy. But the false pressure was not needed.“

“We visited Rita with a small group for a birthday gathering last night. We opted for an upgraded set group menu and we were NOT disappointed. It was excellent, the staff are incredibly friendly and the chef fantastic. We will visit again and again. Thanks for the most amazing evening. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We made the drive out of our way to try their very fresh and incredibly full zeppole.Very large and packed with Ricotta - eating a whole one will most definitely satisfy you but we still couldn't help but try more than one flavour and they were both great!“

“Great pizza ?. Ordered through Ubereats. Food arrived quickly. Pizzas were still warm upon arrival. I ordered the Margherita while friends ordered other ones pictured. The crust was tasty , not light more in the middle. The sauce had a nice sweetness to it. The cheese was also good, not heavy. From first glance it looked like a new haven style Pizza while still being a neapolitan style Pizza. Overall I really enjoyed it. Price was fair and I would definitely order here again. Seems like a good point joint in the Vimont ,Laval area.“

“Portion is huge and very tasty for the price. The cost cutting measures are very clear though. 5 cents for utensils other than chopsticks, gnocchi is just round balls, etc. No complaints though and the service is good. Would highly recommend spending the extra money on chili flakes.“

“P'tit latte this morning was a banger, the service is exceptional too. I'm going back at noon to try the paninis, I'll keep you informed, team, but I think we've got a nugget ?UPDATE: I ate the panini, I'm not disappointed damneeeeel! Ultimately it's not a classic panini, it's a kind of foccacia, it exudes Italy (I love Sicily) for $10, not gross (they're still just as nice 4 hours later)5? Subscribe for more nuggets (Italian or not, I love lots of other countries)“

“Best meal in a long time at a restaurant after a long day of work!My colleague and I had arancini as starters, a veggie pizza and cavatelli with braised beef cheek as main courses.We shared everything about tasting several things on the menu for a first experience in this restaurant! Everything was EXCELLENT! The arancini are crunchy, tender and tasty... Don't be fooled by the little burnt spots on the pizza, it gave flavor and the dough literally melts in your mouth... The cavatelli are creamy as can be...Georges our server was sooo friendly! Always a smile on your face! A real pleasure to be served this way! The lady near the cash register and the cook also chatted with us with a smile! Very pleasant....The only minor downside (and I understand that the dining room is new) is the decor... It lacks love but Georges assured us that it would improve soon... I will go see this without fail!“

“Wow just wow!!! Absolutely the best pasta I have ever eaten outside of Italy… honestly, better than most I’ve eaten in Italy, too. We had the antipasto of arancini and salad and the wild boar ravioli, fettuccine with artichoke and mushrooms, and the ravioli with spinach and Parmigiano … and the bread and focaccia - outstanding. 10/10. A gem!“

“This was one of the most incredible restaurants I've ever been to. Wine? Incredible. Food? Incredible. Vibes? Incredible.Everything is so delicious and fresh and yummy. Their signature knuckles calzones were phenomenal. Then we got the kale salad which was the freshest thing I've ever had. We finished it off with carbonara (with pasta made fresh from directly across the street) and Wagyu beef stuffed onions. Just all around incredible and I'll never stop raving about this restaurant. Can’t wait to come back to Montreal for this and try other times on the menu.“

“Thank you very much for a lovely evening we spent in this warm restaurant. It's not the first time, but we are always well received with good service and excellent cuisine. A big THANK YOU for the hospitality of our server SALVATOR AND CHEF ROBERTO and of course to the whole team! Alena and Jean-“

“Loved that restaurant! Family-run since 1968. Beautifully decorated with a warm ambiance. The food is delicious and affordable! Professional and friendly service offered by Justin, who briefly explained the story behind the 'Cornelli'. I definetly recommend❤️“

“Mtl à Table 2023 menu 3 services pour 60$ Nous avions une réservation à 6:30 avec tout le trafic nous sommes arrivés en retards de 20 minutes. Malgré tout nous avons été accueillis avec un magnifique sourire et d’un grand professionnalisme! Notre serveuse Laura T nous a guidé dans nos choix et grâce à son service hors pair nous avons été agréablement satisfait de cette expérience. Nous vous remercions chaleureusement d’être au petit soins avec vos convives. Enfin tous les employés ont été courtois, respectueux et professionnel du début à la fin! Cuisine gastronomique délectable de l’entrée au dessert.“

“I often went to eat with Paulo and Suzanne, my colleagues too. I decided to try it one evening and since then they have won my heart ♥️ the food is really good really the squid, the sweet potatoes wawww delicious ? 20/10. Keep up the good work????“

“Fantastique expérience culinaire du début à la fin, accompagnée par un excellent service. On a particulièrement aimé les agnolotti de foie de volaille servis avec noisettes et vincotto de camerises, mais tout était absolument délicieux - je dirais même renversant. Merci pour la belle soirée!“

“Yet another amazing dinner at Dinette Marcella. We sat at the bar, giving us an opportunity to try some amazing cocktails while chatting with the bartender. The food was outstanding, especially the creamy mushroom gnocchi. This is my second time visiting Marcella while on holiday in Montreal. I look forward to coming back again soon.“

“First off! Atmosphere was incredible such cool jams playing and warm inviting space. The whole staff made you feel like family. The food was the most authentic Italian you can find around here. The homemade focaccia to the handmade noodles, this place hands down 10 stars! As we paid we made another reservation to enjoy once more before heading back to California! Highly recommend having a bite here!Thank you so much to the whole team“

“Delightful staff! We were seated and helped promptly. The gang that helped us were attentive, polite and all around lovely. It’s a sweltering day but that certainly didn’t take away from our experience. Maude was our server but we had help form a few others- all lovely. The food was delicious and fresh-“

“The meat was good, the citrus tiramisu and the peach cocktail. Also, the lady serving was very kind and professional. On the other hand, the portion was very small and the goat cheese pasta didn't taste much for the price. Looking at the photos we really should have had the steak. We were expecting a wow factor, so maybe that’s why we thought this particular dish wasn’t that exceptional.“

“5 stars. Why? Star 1. The platter of fried seafood had the lightest, crispiest batter I’ve ever had. And if that’s not enough, the most savoury, too. Star 2. The seafood pasta was Al Dente to perfection. Not because it was very good, but because it was flawless. Nothing soft, nothing crunchy. Al Dente. Star 3. The Ossobuco. Never mind the rich Risotto that surrounds it. Never mind that the meat from the veal shank falls off the bone and into your heart. It’s all about the bone marrow. It makes the dish. It’s flavour permeates the sauce that covers the bone as it arrives nestled on your plate. It is the essence of Ossobuco, and Amerigo delivers it in spades. Star 4. Cannoli. Crispy, fresh, heavy, heavenly. Star 5. The service. 5/5. 10/10. 100%. We had seats at the bar and we waited for nothing. We wanted for nothing. A team of family and friends. In short, Amerigo stands for one thing: Communion.“

“We ate there for the first time a week ago. Ordered a pitcher of sangria, bruschetta and calamari as appetizers and all were served very quickly and were delicious. Then main courses of veal, sole and gnocchi which were equally good. There was absolutely no room for dessert and we all took doggy bags home because the portions were so generous! Service was fast and friendly. Trattoria Mario is a great neighbourhood restaurant which I recommend highly. Planning to return soon, hope to try the desserts!“

“I just recieved my UberEats Delivery from ParmaCafe Bishop loction 15 min ago and I had to stop in the middle of my dinner to write this review. I want to say that this is the best spot in Montreal for italian food. Their sandwiches are the best I've ever had and their salads as well! Everything is top top perfection! God Bless you continue doing a wonderful job!! I have ordered from you guys maybe 20 plus times and it's always been perfect and I will continue ordering from you guys in the future!!“

“We had a great evening, if you are looking for a simple but nice place to eat that is the place. Food was exceptional, service was excellent especially with Vanessa taking care of us. WE WILL BE BACK VERY SOON AND RECOMMEND YOU TO SOME FRIENDS.“

“Tasty pasta, nice ambiance, good service! Focaccia bread is fresh and nice here , they bake it. The only negative point about Barbara is there is no reservation and it is first come first serve, so you need to give your name when you arrive and on Saturday night waiting time was about 50minutes!Vegetarian options: There is vegetarian pasta in the menu“

“DECOR :The place is really nice with the right touch of class without going to much.SERVICE: we we're welcomed by a ( not our ) waiter who knew if our reservation ! 10/10The manager slipped a "Buena Sera " 10/10We had bread , olive oil , water and the drinks menu on the table before our bodies warmed up from the outside cold 10/10The waiter was very relaxed and used the surrounding tables's orders to explain the menu, everything he recommended was very good.FOOD: the food took no time at all to arrive first there was : burata & fried calamari then the veal ragu pasta & the linguine di mare both were great choices.AMBIANCE: its cozy , its relaxed while keeping a very "dress up and show up vibe"Unfortunately and not its a small spot so the flow of conversations mixes up all neighboring tables but it is an amazing spot for a third date i would say.Definitely would go back as their menu was written on a chalk board on the wall wich gives me " we change our menu with the season" vibes.Burata +fried calamari + espresso martini +linguine + veal ragu + 2 tiramisu = 200$ ( +tip)“

“Batiste without P is disappointed but Baptiste with P had a blast (joke aside in the photos lol)! A wonderful discovery in my friend's neighborhood. The pizzas are perfect. Fine paste, delicate, fragrant. Wow!?We took the French and the Pecora! The cheese is good quality! And the extra thin and crispy dough Among the top of the best pizzas in Montreal. Definitely worth discovering. And you will be well received when you arrive!A delight without moderation! ??“

“This is a nice place to eat with great food and one of the few places open for lunch. My husband had the pasta with the muscles, clams, lobster, shrimp, calamari, and scallops.....I had the green pasta in a cream saffron sauce with the small shrimp in the pasta and both of these dishes were amazing. This is one of the few places with birra moretti in Montreal which is my husband's favorite. The owner and waiter were nice and helped us with a great selection on lunch and they make you feel like family. I highly recommend this place.“

“Our wonderful lunch started before we entered the restaurant! As we approached the door, a gentleman staff came out to help us with the walker. We enjoyed every bit of our meal which was served in this special and inviting environment. Then as we were paying the bill, the same gentleman came over to help my husband down the steps and another carried the walker to the sidewalk. On a score of 5 stars, I want to make Toucheh a 10!“

“Best Italian restaurant to date!I took my partner to this Italian restaurant for his birthday, but what a great discovery!!Delicious fresh pasta and the ricotta parmesan tortelli with creamy pistachio sauce, a real favorite!!Excellent service from the team and affordable prices.We will definitely return and I will recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent Italian restaurant!! ?“

“La nourriture est excellente, le service impeccable, l’ambiance chaleureuse et nous avons très hâte d’aller vivre l’expérience du brunch du dimanche. Merci à toute l’équipe je recommande fortement cet endroit. Resto qui peut très bien accueillir des groupes et très facile d’accès tout près de l’autoroute 15. Merci encore. Chantal Gagnon“

“We had Mauro as our waiter and he is so wonderful! Very on top of it and super friendly. Our waitress recommended many activities and places and the owner came out to speak to everyone. Service? 11/10. Food? Also 11/10. Atmosphere? 11/10. Extra stars-UMASS “

“An exceptional experience at the Abruzzo restaurant!Our wedding reception was beautifully orchestrated. The staff, combining warmth and professionalism, created a welcoming atmosphere. The romantic decor added a special touch, while the delicious cuisine won over all the guests.A huge thank you to the chef and the entire team for making this moment so memorable!“

“Really enjoy the rich taste of pesto sauce. Since it’s for delivery it’s apparently pass the best time to enjoy the pasta! But I can tell will be amazing if eat right away! Tomato sauce is ok nothing impress me! Don’t forget try tiramisu!!! Fantastic:)“

“This place deserves more clout the pizza is bomb - we got the smoked salmon pizza and pasta and they were generous with the salmon portions ? the pizza was thin crust THE BESTTT and they included taxes in all the prices, such good value highly recommend “

“It was our first visit since the change of ownership about 2 years ago and we wondered if the authenticity of Italian cuisine had been preserved. Well, we can certainly confirm that the taste and quality of the dishes (shrimp pasta and scallop risotto) we chose reflect good Italian cuisine. Additionally, the wines by the glass are excellent.“
