    Wanted pizza after seeing the Montreal Canadiens and asked some locals for a recommendation - we ended up here! The service was amazing! Every person working who we spoke to were beyond friendly and accommodating to our request (putting the toppings under the cheese!) The restaurant was nice and clean. Lots of tables! The pizza was delicious... the sauce, the crust, the toppings.. all good! I'd make it a mission to eat here again when I'm back in Montreal!

    Suite au fait quil ont gagné un concours pour la meilleur Pizzajy suis aller faire un tour. Asseoir la pizza qui a gagné est pas sur le menu. Pour ma part j'ai choisi la spéciale Alto. Un pizza alldress avec bacon et olive croute assezepaisse. Très bonne mais sûrement pas la meilleure en ville... Si beau resto Deco pop art avec musique des années 80. Belle ambiance et service excellent.

    Food tastes great, very consistent and fresh. Staff is friendly. Highly Recommend. I've had most things on the menu, the meatlovers pizza is a great choice, so is the pita gyro, and everything else on the menu.

    Chicken parmigiana sub
    Issan Z.

    Alto is a well-known and popular spot for students around McGill. Since the fire a few years ago, it re-opened as a newer, bigger place, with a nice terrasse and cool mural. The menu is diverse, comprising of Italian, diner and fast-food classics such as pasta, burgers, poutine, etc. We dropped by for dinner and opted for the club sandwich and the chicken parmigiana sub. Food came fairly fast but was underwhelming. The chicken was cut into strips, which made each bite uneven (some bites had little to no chicken). There was a generous layer of melted mozzarella cheese, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the rather bland tomato sauce. The club sandwich had a generous layer of ham, and absolutly delicious fries. I'm a great fan of McDonald-style fries, and Alto's were very similar. I finished the fries in no time and that was my favorite part of the meal. The worst part was the coleslaw, which was cut so thin that the cabbage had the texture of wet yarn. Service was very nice but the food was just ok. I doubt they can optimize everything on their menu when there's more than 100 items!

    Alto Poutine with bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, and red peppers

    This past Saturday, I got the small Alto Poutine that came with bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, and red peppers. Wow, what I got was considered a small? I wonder what large would have been like. It was still steaming after I walked to Place-des-Arts to sit and eat. The fries stayed crispy throughout eating it. It did just fine for filling my tummy and was yummy, though it's not the best or the worst poutine I've had. Additionally, I would recommend the pizza. The Meatballs & Red Peppers pizza was superb and one of my favorite pizzas I've tried downtown. Lastly, I'm glad the cashier listened when I asked for napkins and no plastic utensils. Definitely check this place out if you live or are around the McGill Ghetto!

    Chicken souvlaki plate
    Jessica K.

    Finally tried Alto's again since it's re-opening and was really satisfied with my visit. New location is directly across the previous restaurant, conveniently situated near student residences and McGill's campus. It's really spacious, with plenty of tables and an open kitchen concept. From burgers to souvlaki to pasta to dessert, they've got a huge variety of homey, diner-like foods. Despite the longer than average waiting time, the food really hit the spot. I'm a fan of the chicken souvlaki plate and my friends swear by the el Diablo burger. The fries that come with the dishes taste like Costco fries (the deep fried heavenly kind) and the serving sizes are generous. It's open till the wee hours in the morning (4-5am) so it's a great alternative to your average fast food joints.

    Penne with Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken, loved it!

    Great Service, great food!! Had a great experience eating here. Ordered Penne Alfredo with grilled chicken, which I was advised comes crispy also! The grilled chicken was very flavorful and had a slight charred taste which complimented the Alfredo sauce. Alto special (half pictured, half eaten already ‍) so good. Wasn't overly thick on the dough. Tasted great!

    Veggi and grilled chicken burgers for take out
    Crystal Y.

    We ordered 2 burgers (veggi & grilled chicken) for take-out but waited for more than 20 minutes. The flavor was ok.

    This place was amazing. Lots of food choices, great options, shakes are delish, seating is spacious and hip music in the background. Just enjoyable and not too loud. Had a great experience!
