However, in my opinion this is not really a breakfast spot. Based on the reviews I thought it was but the restaurant offers little breakfast food. Their coffee is decent so if you want that you are set. Because the staff and ambiance were pleasant, I would return, just not for breakfast.

Yum yum yum!! My husband and I loved it here…read more We had a beautiful evening at Elefante. It's like we were back in Italy. Authentic and tasty Italian food and very friendly staff. One of the owners personally came to talk to us and check in. My husband loved his filet, it was one of the best he's ever had. I also loved my rigatoni, not too spicy but lots of flavor. The outdoor dining was really nice and relaxing. Food was just perfect, 10/10. You gotta check this place out!

Wifey had the eggplant parmigiana. Fresh noodles, crisp lightly coated eggplant and the most amazing fresh sauce. Killer good. I opted for the veal chop medium rare. It was served with roasted potatoes and broccolini in another fabulous reduction sauce. The manager (super cool guy) comp'ed a tiramisu which was equally amazing, full of espresso soaked wafers and cream. The takeout experience was so good I can't wait to go in for the full treatment!

For years, we tried to go back, but some how it never worked out. Finally last year I went back to Montreal, and Amelia's was on DoorDash. I finally got to have this pizza again (Pizza Florentine, in the gourmet pizzas section of the menu). 13 years later. I thought for sure I would have romanticized the pizza in my mind and it couldn't live up to the hype. It was still amazing. Every bite was delightful! Can't wait to have it again, hopefully it doesn't take another 13 years.

This family-owned business makes pasta by hand every day. Also, the proprietors could not be nicer or more accommodating. We felt very at home in their restaurant. The menu only has two sections (other than drinks): appetizers and pasta. So you shouldn't come here expecting an 8 page long menu like at some Italian restaurants. Then again, you always have to appreciate a place that focuses on doing a few things very well rather than doing a million things in a mediocre fashion.

Matterello is super cute, four stars just edging so so close to five. We had just a few minor…read morecomplaints... but let's start with the good! Located it Little Italy right on Saint-Denis, it was easy to find and more importantly, easy to get a day of reservation on a Saturday night. This place appears to be run by a couple and one or more of their teenage/adult children, which I found incredibly charming. Fair warning, the menu is not in English but rather a mix of Italian (dish names) and French (descriptions). No fear though, the owner will happily explain everything to you and answer your million translation questions. We started with the arugula and Parmesan salad which came with delicious halved heirloom grape tomatoes and dressed with olive oil and balsamic. Such a light and refreshing start to the meal. Next they brought the house bread - lightly brushed with olive oil and grilled. Loved it! Bread can so often be an after thought but you can tell it wasn't here. On to entrees - I chose the carbonara because it's an all time fav. The pasta (all made in house) was perfectly cooked to al dente which is the only way pasta should be cooked. The pancetta and pram flavor permeated throughout - my only small gripe is the sauce was very thick - it needed about a ladle full of pasta water to thin it out and make it a touch creamier (rather than thick and sticky). Boyfriend had the Porcini pasta (mushrooms, olive oil, garlic) and he had no complaints. All of their desserts are made in house - tiramisu, creme brûlée, and cannoli. We opted for the creme brûlée, and in comes our second area of improvement. The flavor was spot on but the custard wasn't cold enough when the sugar was torched, so it separated a little under the heat. The sugar was also just a touch too done. All in all - we would definitely come back if in Montreal again. Just a few small tweaks will take this place from great to amazing!
