This was a great way to feed thirteen people. Was the food perfect? Nope. But it was warm, comfortable and delicious. They have a gorgeous selection of desserts and none of us could have any because we were absolutely full and happy. Great, great place. read more

People were nice, but the pizza was the worst I've ever had in my life. Definitely not what I would have expected from a restaurant in this neighborhood. Cannot possibly recommend this. Two bites was more than enough. read more

Super delightful little joint to get delicious Italian food. Pass by here almost all the time and never noticed what it was until today in the afternoon! We were wanndeeringgg around town with a few friends and I was a lil tipsy, needed some real food after an event and wanted it desperately! We walked in and it was quite busy at the front grocery shop/ it's an actual restaurant in the back side with a terrace. The ambiance is super unique filled with freshly made Italian dishes. My friends have been here before so it was a safe bet to eat here. As I walked in, I was in Awe moment !!!! The freshly made dishes consisted of Cheese,, breads imported goods from Italy woow wow wow Service: The gentleman was really sweet friendly and trusting .. he didn't want to make us pay right away which was cool.. he let us finish our dish first and we paid later. Wonderful and very attentive guy truly cared about us and made sure to bring all the food fresh and delicious to our seat. Food : I decided to order different light dishes and share with the hubby as we had supper waiting for us at home. Arancini balls : 5/5 wow they were ginormous! Crispy on the outside and oozing cheese aNd rice ground beef with tomato sauce from within it was just a ball of flavours knocking my taste buds by surprise . Had to get some more for the house ! I had their fried panko zucchini and eggplant it was ok a bit overcooked 3/5 skip that the sautéed vegetables again in tomato sauce wow superbe 5/5 !!!

It's a pretty good cafe in the Jean Talon Market area. My friend and I went for their Pizza Combo. It included a quarter of a Pizza, a side salad and a drink. The food was very tasty! The only two things I did not like was service and overall environment. In the beginning, I was confused about their promotion and they were not able to explain it to me properly. The outside of the store, where we ate, was very dirty and no one came to clean up dirty tables and take away dirty plates in half an hour. I would gladly come back for the food, but this time, I would go for a take-out, lol. P.S.: The food there was quite affordable. The promotion I mentioned above was only $10.99! read more

Pizza Motta - Pizza Combo: Includes 1/4 pizza slice, a side salad and a drink. - Pizza Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I'm a little disappointed. I had such high hopes. They have great food to take home and Italian specialties. My disappointment comes from the hot food they serve. I had the veal and pasta. Very bland. Their aranccinis were supposed to be stuffed with prosciutto. Nada!! Not a trace. The cannoli were soft with no crunch. I think you can do better for lunch in this neighbourhood read more

SO GOOD. They have anything and everything here and it is incredible quality and really well priced.

Just around a cute corner from the Jean Talon Market, Motta in my opinion is best for taking out prepared dishes to eat back at home on the porch or up the street at the ole picnic hole in Jarry Parc. We like the roast sausages, spicy pizza, chicken and potatoes, the hearts of palm and bocconcini salad, and two of whatever the nice Italian lady behind the counter recommends. They do use too much terrible-for-the-environment packaging, tons of saran wrap and styrofoam. I wish take-out places would properly tackle this problem. I would consume a lot more if they did, I swear. At the bakery counter the baguettes and donuts are amazingly fresh and light. The churros were a bit of a fail, but who orders churros at an Italian bakery anyway? My fault really. read more

Great place. The food is fantastic. The people who work there are very friendly and help full. Well worth going to.

My review is limited to the patisserie portion of this establishment. Grabbed a few pastries here before going home and they were just alright. Pastries need to be good to exceptional. These seem to have been there awhile and while some may state picking up pastries in the evening may be too late to get fresh I'll counter with the point that businesses need to ensure their goods are at their best during all business hours. At worst provide a discount if they can't certify their freshness. I wasn't impressed. read more

Pizza Motta - Nutella lobster tail - Pizza Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

If I lived in this neighborhood, no doubt about it, I'd probably be here all the time either picking up prepared foods to take home of have a slice of pizza right on the premises. If you're like me and can't cook Italian food the way it deserves to be cooked, you best bet is coming here and picking up a few from their myriad of selection choices, whether it's pastries like cannolis or tiramisu or many types of antipasto if you're entertaining or the prepared pasta sauces, breads, pizzas and tons of other great stuff. I'm surprised that this place doesn't have more reviews given that its been here for years. The service is really friendly, prices are reasonable and the food is stellar. What more do you need? read more

If you want best quality price food, here's the place to come. Quality is great although sometimes you have to wait since it can get crowded. I personally think here's where you can find one of the best cannoli in Mtl. In my top 10 joints in town. read more

Lovely Cafe next to the market! We ordered a cappuccino and two tiramisus! Both desserts was a delight, and were not too sweet, paired with a cup of decent coffee was the perfect afternoon snack. Absolutely loved it. Service was warm and lovely too! read more

Pizza Motta - Pizza Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

It's really hit and miss here, I was attracted by their All You Can Eat Pizza Promotion, but once inside there was absolutely nobody eating at the sit-in area. So we decided for take out instead,cold-cut sandwich was awesome and well priced ($5) I also had a veal parmigiana,re-heated it was very chewy ,did not come with any sides ($7) Bacon Carbonara pasta ($7) was pretty tasty but a bit on the expensive since i just wanted a side for my veal. Finally the salmon and spaghetti al olio combo dish ($7), well priced but really tasted off. Overall a pass except for the sandwich, i really wanted all you can eat, but don't wanna be the only table there. I would appreciate it if all the prices and the items would be clearly labelled at the counter so we know what's what. read more

What's great about Montreal are those moments when you discover new places that have been around for years. Those neighbourhood spots that serve the best home cooked meal a deli could offer. This place will have you wiping the drool from your mouth when you see all the choice of fine Italian dishes. After a day shopping at Jean Talon Market, you can dip into this Italian bakery/deli to enjoy a good lunch with company. Fine dining at reasonable prices adding to the charm of local cuisine. read more

We were in the West Island and decided to cross Montreal to try Motta on Mozart. Two of the older women behind the prepared food counter were not very charming. It felt like we were disturbing them. My husband had a salad and he said it was just ok; and I had the veal scallop (terrible) with the grilled vegetables (only good thing). When we finished eating we went back in to get bread, which was good and fresh. the young lady at the cash was most pleasant. We got one pack of turkey and one pack of ham; one bite and both in the garbage. The first slice of the ham was pink but under it was greyish. The turkey was really not good. Garbage as well. We also bought one lobster tail and one cannoli as well as an almond loaf but after one bite we threw them out; they were all stale. This was the worst food experience ever. NEVER going back. My husband is Italian and in the restaurant business. read more

Sure, they have great pizza, an unbelievable amount of delicious desserts, and many salads, sandwiches, and other dishes to choose from, but what truly stands out at Motta's is the friendliness of the entire staff. The manager always greets us happily by name, and if we stand around lost with all the great dessert choices, he gives us a cookie to enjoy while we make our decision. Don't miss out on the all-you-can-eat Fridays. You'll get salad and pasta as "sides", and the staff will come by with a variety of pizzas. The relatively thin slices make it possible to try them all, and there is no end to the pizza delivery until you say that you absolutely cannot eat anymore. Motta's is a unique blend of store, deli, bakery, and pizzeria, but as I said before, the staff is what makes me come back over and over again. read more

Got disappointed because we went there for the occasion of Pizza Fest and they have a bunch of restrictions... Anyway, the staff is not very friendly but we still order something after all. The pizza was average, no surprise at all read more

Pizza Motta - Decent pizza - Pizza Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Used to love this place for the pizza. Don't get me wrong, they still serve nice square pizza with different toppings but avoid the generic pizza they serve on the other side of the store. Awful cheap pizza you'd find at your dollar pizzeria. Fork out a few bucks extra for the fresh ones. read more

I used to come here years ago and it was pretty good. But i was very disappointed this time as their food consisted of gooey sauces (probab. Adding lots of starch to thicken instead of real cream or butter . )I ordered rolled eggplant dish but there was no eggplant in there! Only a paper thin slice that was coveted and lost in tons of soggy breading. My friend's veal dish wad not very fresh ! All dishes are zapped for u in the microwave:-// Sorry to see some other great spot go down south! read more

Great Italian food! There is a dessert counter and food counter where you can choose a single item or a mixed plate to stay or go. I chose a mixed plate with a meatball, pasta best, and roasted veggies. It was hard to decide what to get, everything looked so good! The meatball was delicious but slightly salty, and the pasta and sauce were great. I wish the pasta was made fresh, but it isn't. The mixed plate was around $15, which seemed high. Friendly staff and lots of seating if you need a break from visiting the Marche Jean Talon! read more

Great food at a great price. Eat in or take away. The choices are near limitless and the staff are friendly. Small cafe in front and a larger dining room in back makes Motta one of the easiest/most comfortable Italian eateries in town. And don't miss out on the desserts - check the 'sale' fridge for half price cakes and cannoli. read more

Nonna pride! My nonna and the cast of Sopranos would be down with Motta. No question. Pizza, boom. Tiramisu, boom. Cannolis, boom. Antipasto bar, coffee, hot table, Italian breads, boom boom boom diggity. Its sweet to hear whispers of Italian too as you drool at the bakery display. Ugh, I wish I could eat without consequence. Damnit!!! The meatballs are the real deal. Crab and shrimp salad is light and a 1 way ticket to Yumtown. I hate myself for using that expression, I'm just excited guys... read more

Today I went to order pizza and had to wait for them to be prepared...big mistake...I ended up going to the dark side, and now I have a new addiction called Baccio. This little unassuming chocolate and pistachio ball of flavor seems harmless but do beware! Especially on St Valentines, (baccio means kiss in Italian), could it get any scarier. read more

Good food and a lot of variety. We went here for lunch and got veil parm and a giant meatball. One dish had a side of grilled veggies. Both came with pasta. They were both very good. Only reason for the 4 star was that the meatball wasn't heated all the way through. This is one of those places where everything is made and they just stick it in the microwave to warm it up for you. It was a bit expensive for this kind of place I though at $30 for both meals. I would say it's a $$ more than a $. read more

I lived right beside this place earlier in the year, and went there often. Motta is has some great little desserts, and affordable take-away food (pizza trio combo with rapini salad was great for a night in). The pizza itself isn't actually that good in my opinion, but despite the name, I think a lot of people go there for their other foods. It's a good, affordable place to pop into if you need something to bring to a dinner party but didn't have time to prepare anything. The one thing I found Motta did very poorly was the all you can eat pizza party. We went one night when it wasn't too busy, but they only came around with pizza twice. It was like they'd chosen to ignore us as the waitress disappeared completely, and when we went up to ask what was going on there was just a cold tray of old pizza sitting on the counter. This was our only eat-in experience, so I'm guessing we just went on a bad night. Still, I wouldn't go there on a date night, as the ambiance isn't particularly warm. read more

My favourite Italian market! Came here in 2015 and 2018. It is a place for everyone so it is not like Eataly which costs you an arm and a leg. Good salad and green selections. Pasta, pizza, and pastries are also sold here. Covered Patio seating. read more

After going to the Jean Talon Market for years and never knowing about Mota, I was told about it by a family member whose friend had taken them. Ended up having lunch there and taking some of their prepared food home. The food is traditional Italian. Very very good and so reasonably priced. It will now be a regular stop on my market ventures. It's great for people who don't have time to cook all the time. Even though I cook frequently, it's nice to know you can find some real home cooked Italian food and a huge variety at that. read more

The pizza at Motta is so good i have tried them all from veggie, all dressed and cheese. When i have a pizza from motta its like my taste buds are all gathering together to have a little celebration. So i have nothing bad to say about the pizza and if you havent had it yet. Get one. You wont regret it!!!! read more

Awesome pizza! Was there the other day! Huge variety and amazing taste. Really authentic Italian style pizza! I highly recommend.

A little piece of Italy right in your mouth ! Excellent pizza , a place to go for sure !!! Big thumbs up !

I've never tried pizza here, however their deli dishes are fresh and tasty, the choice is huge. The bakery is also worth checking - especially their cheesecake. read more

Love this pizza best place in the city!!!! All the different toppings has the whole family enjoying every bite!

When you talk about Pizza Motta, it's like having pizza at nona's house from a simple cheese pizza to pepperoni pizza or even an all dressed pizza and if your vegetarian they have that as well simply amazing and always fresh!!! read more
