Hostaria

We had dinner here for our wedding anniversary and we will be going back! Restaurant is cosy and ambience is pretty nice. Staff are amazing, friendly, knowledgeable. The food was amazing and the wine pairings were excellent. Our waiter explained the menu to us and made excellent recommendations. From the moment our order was taken, the courses arrived very quickly. We had a suckling pig and swordfish, which were seasonal menu items, they were both fantastic and the wines recommended by our waiter were spot on! I had a pear cake with ricotta for dessert, my husband had some of the home-made chocolate with almonds served with an excellent spiced wine, they were both divine! Service was superb! They also have valet parking. I highly recommend this restaurant.

One of the better Italian restaurants I've tried in Montreal. I use Da Emma as the measuring stick when it comes to Italian. So against that I rate the food as 90% there. I tried it for my anniversary dinner and that was my mistake. It was small, very loud and a little bit to bright. My waiter was pleasant and very knowledgeable but didn't do a very good job of breaking down the menu for me. I felt as if I was wanting him time at times. Overall great food but not very cozy feeling. I would go back with a small group of friends and it'd be perfect.

Located on a quiet enough corner, parking was easy even though they offer valet. Decor is subdued but in good taste. We had the best place in the house with a large table by the front window. Food was hit or miss however, my boar sugo looked appetizing but lacked in flavor. My gf ordered the same plate and was also disappointing. Others in our party mentioned the food as ok and nothing more. The appetizers were excellent from the buratta to fired artichokes and charcuterie platter. Extensive Italian wine selection but not much else. Bar service is poor, they can't even make a Margarita.
