Family style Portuguese grills and Italian pizza. Delicious food, medium price range. However, the service a bit too functional for such a family-style restaurant(the young lady was a bit of stressed and overworked, I hope they hire more people) . read more

Went recently on a late diner with little sis! Place was jam packed as usual. We had to wait a little for a table. The owner was super friendly and inviting as always :) he sat us by a new spot that I haven't seen before. Sorta In the middle of the bar, nice round table! We ordered the fried calamari,chicken grillades plate with pasta as the side , and mix grillade ( I think it included steak , lamb, and quail )plate with pasta as well! Total cost was 60$ I also had a gin soda :) Food was delicious and the bread was nice and warm for once! Definitely recommend this place. It was worth the wait. This places gets extremely busy. It sucks that they close on Sunday. You can also order to go. read more

Restaurant Da Lillo - two plates of food and a glass of wine - Italian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I'll keep this short and sweet: best pizza, pasta & grill in town! Looking for a quick and reasonable price eat? Come to Da lillo! The portions are generous and huge. The Portuguese chicken is absolutely exquisite, you have a choice of pasta, fries or salad. You won't go wrong with that. Their pizza is absolutely amazing, tasty and big! Enough to share for 2 people! As for pasta, my favourites are : "à la gigi & arrabiata." Try their red & white sangria!! Service is a hit or miss but you're enjoying good food, the service is not mediocre but don't be too picky :) read more

Restaurant Da Lillo - Tortellini with rosé sauce + italian sausages & bacon + mushrooms pizza! - Italian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Excellent. Menu may be outdated ( it was for beer). Had the Italian salad. Dressing was a bit bland and salad could have used another topping other than carrots, cabbage and onions (maybe some sliced Roma's or some mozzarella. The pizza was great (had the meat lovers). 2 of us eating and there were 3 pieces left and I'm a big guy (my wife and I split the pizza and a single salad). Prices were good but if definitely gets packed by 6pm. The spicy dip for the crust was pretty spicy. read more

Location: Quick walk from Station Jarry métro on Rue Jarry. Staff: very attentive to their patrons need, constantly keeping an eye out for empty glasses or a glance for their attention. Then were also kind enough split the 2 orders in half so my guest and I could enjoy each on our own plate. We ordered the grilled chicken w/ fries & salad (pasta was an option choice instead of salad) & The Portuguese pizza. Environment: while it's a fairly large dining area the tables are all rather close to each other making it very tight. A number of times I've seen waiters apologizing for slightly bumping a guest while making their rounds through the narrow spaces of the table. Nevertheless, everything was very clean and not too loud considering how close all the tables were. It was consistently busy around 8-9:30pm on a Thursday and their takeaway line was busy too. Yet food was prepared quickly & accurately. Food: Free bread! Their pizza menu, while a lot of different options, the variety didn't really seem like much. The pizza was good, nothing spectacular; fresh out of the fire oven and non-canned olives. Their fries - although haven't been to MacDonald's in months - reminded me of theirs. The grilled chicken was really good. Wasn't too dry like some grilled chicken I've had elsewhere. read more

I was lucky enough to stay close to Da Lillo when in Montreal.... this place is legit. I had bookmarked Da Lillo before arriving due to its location and knew I needed to give it a shot. So one night when no one felt like going out, I picked up a couple pizzas and a salad from Da Lillo and brought them back to our loft.... all of the food was fantastic! Their salad dressing was perfectly balances, the prosciutto pizza was super tasty. I would highly recommend! read more

I've gone to Da Lillo a handful of times over the past decade. Have to say, don't know why I don't frequent this place more than I do. The food quality, quantity, ambiance and value for money are all OUTSTANDING. This restaurant is owned by 2 fellows. One Italian (Sicilian), one Portuguese, hence the menu is a combo of both cuisines. I started with the fried zucchini. Excellent! Thin, lightly battered, crispy strips of zucchini. Then had the Lamb chops platter. Excellently cooked (Medium - just like I asked). 4 good-sized chops (T-bone cut). Came with excellent thin, crispy tasty fries and a fresh green salad. Service was very professional and attentive. Owner always around walking the floor and in the kitchen ensuring everything is running smoothly and customers are happy. Only a couple of negatives here to note. Firstly, the accoustics in the dining room are terrible. Extremely loud. Difficult to have a conversation without yelling. However, they do have an outdoor patio facing Jarry St. Also, all the front sliding window-doors were shut, so in better weather, when opened, would help bring down the noise level I suspect. Secondly, no Pasteis de Nata on their dessert menu :( So ended up having a cannolo which they correctly only fill when served, however, found the filling to be a little on the heavy side. Ricotta filling in Sicily is much lighter. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely one of the best Italian or Portuguese restaurants in North-end Montreal. read more

This place used to be very good. One of our spots to eat out. But you can see how the restaurant is trying to cut costs.. We ordered beef short ribs, they were made from a prepackaged box, wasn't cooked entirely and not 'falling of the bone' as you'd expect your beef rib to be. We sent it back, they heat it up and returned it when we were already finished eating... $40 ribs!!! Outrageous They also don't make fries in house as they used to and don't have wet napkins after your Portuguese chicken... miss the old Da Lillo read more

The first restaurant that I went to upon arriving in Montreal. The atmosphere is great and oh yeah the food is amazing. You must try their Alla Giggi sauce with the portugese chicken. Now when I go there I dont need a menu anymore. Its a great place to hang out and enjoy great food. Enjoy! read more

It was a holiday and cold outside and I was up on Jarry hungry with a friend and sooo happy to find this spot open. We sat in the back close as possible to the flames of the pizza oven and enjoyed the family vibe - hockey on TV, cute kids eating pasta, waiters and owners greeting a diverse stream of regulars. And then we really really enjoyed the food - we each had a freshly made pizza and loved to note the nice olives, delicious sausage and generally high quality of the ingredients used. Food came out quickly but nothing felt rushed, and the vegetarian pizza was just as good as the meat. I look forward to coming back for the grilled meats and pasta. Truly chill, amazingly tasty, wide smiles place in this neighbourhood. read more

Someone took me to Da Lillo and introduced me to their chicken/pasta plate. You know, the one where you get half a chicken (a quarter chicken? I don't know, but it's a LOT of food) with a bunch of penne in a rose sauce. I'm normally pretty skeptical about people ordering for me, which is exactly what happened after the dreadful words "we don't need the menu"... but thank god it went down that way cause this plate is kind of epic. So much so that I continued eating long after I was full, and polished off the entire portion with a big satisfied orange stained grin. You know, cause of all the spicy sauce I slathered on my chicken? I lost control and finished it in a complete gluttonous trance. Delicious. Then I went back a week later and did it again. Short term goal: try other menu items. Or not. Why mess with perfection? read more

This a fabulous quaint restaurant! The food is delicious! My husband and I always come here when we are in Montreal! Just order the house red wine! The owner is always very friendly and welcoming! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

Great service great chicken love this place! Feeling like im going to my grandma each time!

Friendly staff, awesome Food, nice ambience. The chicken platter and fried calamari is A1.

Authentic is the word... This restaurant led by Portuguese and Italian families offers some of the best from both cultures in your plates! My dance studio is a few blocks away so we have been coming here before it was popular... It was always good and that has not changed... A superb meal in a neighbourhood restaurant is what awaits you at Da Lillo! With one of the owners often there to seat you and the other leading the fires in the open space kitchen... What to order? TOP APPS - The octopus - Cod croquettes - Chourico - Sardines THE MEAL: look the pizzas are great (wood oven) and the meats in general are also 1st rate... But if you come here and do not have: Portuguese Chicken with extra sauce on the side to add as you desire with a SIDE of Rose sauce covered pasta... I have to ask... What are you doing... I always tell people "When I am done eating here and someone gets a plate of chicken next to me... I get jealous and feel hungry again!" The chicken and rose sauce are just that good! PS: House wine is really good and will save you a bundle! PPS: If you like a chill family and neighbourhood vibe, come Sunday to Wed... On Thursday, Friday and Saturday night... its a true party atmosphere in here, so expect that! *NB* Part of the restaurant is split in another room so you can reserve it if you have a big enough group and run a kind of semi-private party in there, we've done that a couple of times, its really cool! read more

If your looking for some delicious charcoal Portuguese chicken, hit this spot. Everything is great here, I usually take the half chicken with a side of there rose pasta.... Honestly there pasta is phenomenal! I would have gave this a 5 star I just don't like that there closed on Sunday. Also check out here lunch menu, everything is under 13 dollars, great chicken sandwiches and they don't skimp on the chicken. Will take photos next time I go read more

Just be sure to eat their Portugese chicken, you won't regret it. The prices are also very reasonable. Good ambiance, nice place, will go back for sure! read more
