My girlfriend and I stopped by Ristorante Corneli in Little Italy Montreal for brunch before our…read moreflight, and it turned out to be the best meal you could have before catching a flight. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess, who seated us by a window with a lovely view. Our drinks arrived promptly, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The ambiance was vibrant and fun, enhanced by the perfect touch of Latin music playing in the background--it really added to the overall welcoming vibe. We kicked off our brunch with a delectable Burrata that perfectly showcased the freshness of the ingredients. For her main dish, she ordered the pappardelle con pollo, while I opted for the pappardelle al pomodoro. Every dish was super tasty, bursting with fresh, flavorful ingredients that left us completely satisfied. If you're looking for an authentic Italian brunch experience in Montreal with a fun and lively atmosphere, Ristorante Corneli is the place to be. *Grazie mille per un pasto piacevole!*

We went to Corneli twice. The first time, the food and experience was 5 out of 5 despite slow…read moreservice. We ordered drinks, apps, pizza, and a tasteful salad. The second time, hoping for better service, the food was good but the service and seating were horrible. We sat outside in both instances and everything is uncomfortable about it. Italian Restaurants are my favorite and it kills me when a great restaurant lacks the ambiance and service. Avoid the hassle and take the food to-go.

First recommended to me by a friend of a friend (you know how that works, it's never what you…read moreexpect) Trattoria Il Ritrovo is at once the small lunch spot for a coffee and panini, quiet location for dinner with a couple of friends or family when you just want decent homestyle Italian, and will do larger parties on request. The décor is unimpressive, utilitarian, and you won't care about that anymore when your food arrives. Well-portioned plates, decent presentations, and the slightly warm feeling that someone's nonna is hiding in the kitchen doorway checking to see if you like the food and making sure you have enough to eat. Photos to follow soon :-)

***4.5 Stars***…read more Solid Italian restaurant in Montreal with a focused menu. 7 appetizers, 3 pastas and 3 entrees to choose from. An intimate and mostly casual atmosphere. I had a great Negroni and wife had one of the best non-alcoholic drinks ever. Mostly Italian wines by the glass. We shared the scallop crudo, buffalo mozzarella and beef carpaccio appetizers. The scallop was probably my favorite out of the 3, but the sheer size of the beef carpaccio dish would make me order it again (good to share amongst 3-4 ppl). For mains, we ordered the cavatelli with pork ragu and the lamb special. The pasta was nicely al dente which complemented well with the tangy-savory cherry tomato and olive ragu. The pear tart with white chocolate yogurt was also a good way to end the meal. Overall a great Italian option in Montreal that I would return to.

Our waitress let us to our table. She was very hospitable and she spoke very good English and told us that they have a salad bar part of our meal. I ordered a classic spaghetti with meat sauce and hubby ordered spaghetti with steak. My meal was amazing. They put a lot of meat sauce and the spaghetti was just cooked right not to soft not too hard. My hubby's steak was cooked perfectly. I also tried the tiramisu not too bad. I wish they put a lot of rum. lol. Chocolate cake was delicious. The place looks elegant and expensive, although the prices are not too bad. I recommend this place.

Cute spot in Old Port, Old Montreal…read more The placemat also served as the menu. I loved that there were fun facts scattered here and there. It also worked as conversation starters. Another interesting thing here is they have an unlimited self-serve salad bar for lunch (unsure about dinner). They had kale! There were a couple of salad dressings and a variety of toppings. What was memorable was the sweet, sweet corn. Bread and butter were served at our table. I didn't expect this for lunch. #14 Spaghetti with meatballs CAD$32 - The meatballs were good, but the spaghetti was lacking. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was just ok. (I had another Italian spot for dinner that night, and L'usine just didn't meet the bar.) The menu said this is the classic from L'usine. #19 Le Grand Prix CAD$38 - The lamb chops were pretty good! However again the pesto pasta was lacking again. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Bathroom is down the stairs. It reminded me of being under a pirate ship for some reason. Only indoor seating

The menu isn't very big but it's quality over quantity, we started off with a few charcuterie platters that came with cheese, salami, proshutto, stuffed peppers, olives and other antipasti. Very nice portion and unique platting. Then we each ordered different dishes like penne with rose sauce and mushrooms and sausage. Very good, a seafood fettuccini and a few orders of oso buco and veal scalopini. All very delicious and generous portions. Then the deserts came to the table, cannolis, tiramisu and some dulce de leche cakes. The tiramisu was my favourite. I suggest everyone give this tiny Italian restaurant a chance. You won't be disappointed.
