Entree of spinach dip nothing great but the chips were stale. Unreal for $16! I had a pizza Diablo and 39 minutes later, got sick. Coincidence? My wife had a club sandwich which she was was OK. With 15% tip = $100. Worst money I ever spent: read more

This was my first visit to Birreria Italian.co which was for a business lunch here. I went with the BYOP option which offers red or white pizza then a selection of veggies, cheeses and meats all at different price points. Base pie was $12, adding veggies was $3 per, cheese $6, meats $8 and then specialty shrimp, salmon etc $10. I ordered white pizza with, artichoke, arugula and prosciutto. The crust was so delicious adding to the enjoyment of my lunch. When my pizza was delivered it was noticed that they had added chicken as well. No worries it was good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Good for lunch, good for groups. read more

This place is GREAT. The place smelled so good and we were so eager to taste that I forgot to take pictures of our appetizers and even before we started eating the pizza. The crust is thin and cooked to perfection and the fact that you can pick your toppings is something we loved . The portions are big and prices are very decent. We will definitely be going back very soon ! read more

I recently tried Birreria Itali in downtown, which was decent. We arrived at the restaurant for lunch; we had the reservation. The restaurant was partly empty. The restaurant is part of Place Vertu mall; it is humongous. The service was super friendly in the annoying side but quick. One thing i didn't appreciate, the bills were brought to us without us asking for it and few of my friends just started to eat their desert and drink coffee. Food : Mediterranean salad was good. Great ingredients except feta cheese missing. Good vinaigrette which made the dish zesty. B- Salmon tartare was strictly below average. The taste was completely bland, and the side chips were distasteful. The chips were so oily that I felt slightly nauseous. D- Spicy Calamari was the star! Perfectly fried, and mixed with spices and caramelized onions, jalapeño peppers and bell peppers. A+ Overall, it is an average restaurant but it has the potential to become better. read more

We had a large group visit Itali.co on a Monday evening. We were seated within 4 minutes. The service was very good. All the comments I heard (burgers, salmon, pasta) were very good. The one so-so comment was due to perceived low amount of cheese on the Margherita pizza. I loved my entree (from the appetizer section) of Sausage and Pepperoni Poutine!! read more

Amazing food and service. The ambiance is OK. Had a dinner with the whole family and everyone loved what they've ordered. I would highly recommend it. read more

Would love to give this place 5 stars and support the owners who worked hard to develop a great place, but time and time again the service just isn't up to par. The food can be hit or miss but there are plenty of menu items that will always be delicious (pulled pork burger, calamari diavolo and cheese platter for example!) As an anglophone, I find it incredibly disrespectful to have staff refuse to serve me in english. I don't care if you reply in broken english, but to only answer us in french and not offer bilingual service really grinds my gears. I can't see why someone would bother going into the service industry if their don't care to serve their clientele in a friendly and approachable way. Bilingualism is kinda a thing in Montreal. This has happened with more than one barmaid at this location. Also, I know what 2 oz of alcohol is so the staff that don't know how to free pour should use jiggers. Trying to upsell me on a double or mentioning that I'm getting a double for happy hour when you're giving me 1.25-1.5 oz is not a good look. To make matters worse, the bar staff seem to have issues managing their volume. If I sit down at the bar, I shouldn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to get a drink in front of me, especially when I'm ready to order as soon as I'm seated. To watch the male clients have their drinks replenished more than once while the one female at the bar hasn't been served yet despite the montage of "I'll be right with you sweetie"s (in french of course), adds insult to injury. It's a bar with a lot of regulars, but if these barmaids want to grow their clientele they should start offering a passable service. read more

I came here with my team for dinner and had an enjoyable experience. The fried calamari was my favorite dish of the night. Perfectly battered and crispy with a pleasant chew to it. The poutine was slightly on the salty side because they use crispy fries instead of unseasoned fries. We also ordered mussels which came slightly under cooked but the waitress was very nice about it and promptly took it back and made a new order. Overall, everything was delicious. The portions are large and the drinks are good. The service was amazing considering it was a busy Friday night and I didn't have to ask for refills, she would quietly switch my near empty soda cup for a full one..it was like magic. read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident, and I'm glad we did. We saw some good reviews for a Vietnamese spot at this address (hint: it's a mall) only to realize the Vietnamese place was in a food court. We passed Itali.co on our way into the mall, and decided to go back. We ordered the calamari fritti as an appetizer; I would pass on it personally since the calamari itself was a little too chewy for me, and the breading fell off easily. My entree was the lobster pasta, which was very good. My dining companion ordered the sweet potato gnocchi and it was pretty tasty; well-balanced and not overly "sweet" tasting at all. We tried ordering tiramisu for dessert, but they were out of it, so we took the waiter's recommendation and got the Italian doughnuts. They were DELICIOUS! The doughnuts brought me straight back to Italy with their orange citrus sauce accompanied by some Nutella. Order them and you won't regret it! We were already stuffed after pasta but ate all those little doughnuts. They had a pretty good wine list, and beer was good and cold. Awesome spot close to the airport! Give it a try. Espresso is excellent as well. read more

Nice place and atmosphere. I ordered 3 sliders for 12$ theyre were ok nothing special. Just had lettuce, beef and spicy mayo. If they had put cheese it would be worth the 12$. Our waitress was nice but looking at the other staff they seem annoyed of their job. I would come back to try the pizza it looks very good read more

This was our first restaurant experience when we arrived in Montreal for a 7 day trip. We chose this restaurant because it was fairly close to our hotel. It is attached to the Place Vertu Shopping Center which was a nice walk after sitting on a plane most of the day. The restaurant itself is very nice, open and rustic, a lot of wood tones. We were greeting and sat quickly but after that we hit a huge stand still. First off, the menu was in French, which is understandable but it took several minutes for a waiter to come greet us so that we could ask for a menu in English. He finally came by our table and requested waters and new menus. The menus took only a couple of minutes but our waters took quite a bit longer. We were finally able to order our entrees. I ordered the chicken skewers with quinoa which also comes with a house salad. The salad was well dressed and very delicious, as was the entree. The chicken was grilled and seasoned nicely, the quinoa was perfectly cooked and had bits of cranberry and orange segments which gave it a great depth of flavor, and the presentation was really nice. Where this restaurant really falls short is the service. After our entrees were done it again took an unreasonable amount of time to get our check. At one point we looked for our server and he was nowhere to be found. It took an employee getting ready for their shift to notice our irritation from around the corner to then seek out our server for us. One interesting thing that restaurants in Montreal do is bring a handheld card machine to the table to pay out your bill. If not for this handy little device, I am quite certain we would've been there much longer just waiting for our card to be returned. Overall the food is good but that alone would not be enough to get us to come back if we lived there. The service staff needs some serious help. read more

This restaurant looks amazing!! I really like the decor!! Our waitress/bartender was really cordial and helpfull.. A big thank you to her!! The cocktails were great we had the strawberry mojito and the black beard.. The cheese platter was good but when you read the menu it seems like you are going to get 3 different kind of mozzarella (that is what we tought) but it wasn't the case.. Still it was well presented. The ceasar with tuna was ok.. I was expecting a house made ceasar dressing and fresh grated parmesan cheese. And the tuna was seared ahead so it had a nice pepper crust but was stone cold. The lobster pasta were good! You didn't have to dig to find lobster that's a big plus but it was a little chewy. In total I would give this restaurant a 3++ but not enough for a four!! read more

I had a good meal here and our waiter was quite friendly. The initial greeting was kind of meh but the rest went well. The food was very good! The beef meatballs with homemade pasta is quite the comfort food. I did find the tomato sauce to be uninspired but it tasted fine. Also tried their mussels in the white creamy sauce. This one was just okay to me and I wouldn't order it again. I really liked that they used whole grain Dijon mustard but the presentation was quite odd, as though they had dumped the mustard haphazardly in the plate. There were also some broken pieces of mussel shells which was a turnoff. Just based on the mussels, I might have been inclined to give a 3-star review. The fries, however, were fantastic. Crispy and a little spicy! The short rib crostini were also delicious and the highlight of our meal. The sauce, the juxtaposition of flavours and the presentation were all on point. One thing to note: these were all listed under 'tapas' so we expected them to be in smaller portions. They actually came in generous meal size, except for the crostini which is good to share as an appetizer. For dessert we shared the fried doughnuts. I really enjoyed the crisp and taste of the dough. It was generously drowned in Nutella. I'm pretty sure the description read something like 'stuffed with lemon curd' but in fact it was more like the bottom of the doughnut was 'lightly lined' with lemon curd. I actually would have preferred more lemon curd and less Nutella but the dessert was still delicious as is. There were a couple weird hitches in the cutlery department such as one of my dinner-mate's steak being served without a steak knife or dessert being served with a knife only. It was needed but I don't think we should've had to ask for spoon/fork. The restaurant might actually be more of a 3.5 in some respects, but overall, the friendly service and some (not all) items being downright fantastic make me want to come back for more. I am actually excited to try their downtown location. read more

Great presentation on food and drinks!! Nice and upbeat atmosphere and a good looking all around place. Waders are on point, fast and helpful. FOOD...... Food was ok... lacking a little seasoning in the food. -Pizza was good but need more of the toppings on it. - Club sandwich chicken was a little dry but not to bad. (Almost as if it was reheated taste if you know what I mean). -BATHROOM....... Bathrooms were Way below standards... Not very clean. The wife went to the washroom and came right back and said she will hold it till we get home... Very dirty in side the bathroom..... After she told me this I decided too check it out for myself and she was right.... Way below standards..... read more

Great place to eat with friends. I usually choose their pizzas on the menu to share for 2 or 3. We ordered BBQ pizza and fried calamaris. The pizza was delicious. Crispy crust, warm, and cheesy. I find that they give a small portion for fried calamaries as some other places give a bit more at the same price (10$). They also have a bar section with TVs so you can watch games. read more

After a long day at the mall, I would prefer to go to this place rather than the food court. It has an entrance from inside the mall and I can also have a drink. It is a family friendly place with a lot on their menu! So many choices! We've tried a few so far and the food is good and price wise it is within the range. In general it is a nice place to have a warm and nice bite with the family. read more

First of all the customer service is great.My drink was super good !! One of my pizza's topping was supposed to be spinach but it was actually rapini so very disappointed because it doesn't taste the same at all. The Bruschetta there are amazing and so is the fries so keep it up guys. read more

Cute little Gastro Pub. Food and drinks were excellent. Nice outside area for a warm night

I am glad i discovered this place, we were passing by and decided to give it a chance. Nice decor, welcoming stuff. We ordered for the kids and they did not like the tortellini the manager gladly offered us another kids menu option ( by the way the tortellini they did not like was one of the best i tasted). We did our own pizza , great taste and amazing crust, the grilled octopus was very tender and cooked to perfection. Caesar salad was tasty , made with fresh lettuce. Really liked this place, highly recommend it. I will definitely come without the kids to try the bar section. read more

Amazing food & drinks. Loved the place and the atmosphere. This location has a great set of people, they are wonderful and so sweet.

Lived in ville saint laurent many years before finally deciding to try out this restaurant after people recommended it to me. The restaurant is part of a mall; typically not a good sign especially if attached to Place Cote Vertu Mall. The restaurant was a bit better than expected but clearly not 100% authentic Italian. Pasta was not al dente. That gives you an idea. Pasta plates are not cheap considering the basic ingredients. Grilled octopus was good but why the melted cheese? Desert was probably the best of all the plates. Enjoy! read more

OK, I have to admit, I go here primarily for the dessert. You absolutely MUST try the Bombolone Italian donuts. They are served hot, with lemon curd in the center and drizzled with chocolate sauce. OMG... DELICIOUS! They have an amazing vegetarian burger served with hand-cut fries that always fills up my husband and I usually go for the club, which is made with a grilled chicken breast and served on a yummy bun. I love the quirkiness of drinks being served in jars and food being served on wood planks or in metal baskets. It all adds to charm. I also have to give props to the staff. No matter what time we show up, the service is always fast & friendly. read more

Birreria Itali.co - Best pizza ever! - Gastropubs Near Me - Saint-Laurent, Quebec

So for those of you in the know, this was East Side Mario's and then it was Badda Bing. When it changed to Badda Bing it had the ESM menu which I loved. Feed me bread and salad all day everyday and I'm happy! I told my husband I wanted to go to have the unlimited salad and soup. He told me it wasn't ESM and I said I know...I wish I would have known it wasn't even BB anymore. The entire menu had nothing appealing to me. My hi and tried the osso bucco and it was bland. The meal came with some kind of rice dish which was bland. He asked to switch for pasta on the side and that was less than impressive. I had a cheese pizza and it was okay. The wood burning pizza oven gives a nice crisp crust which was great. We had this amazing dessert with Nutella and lemon. Yummy. I don't know if the food was bad, bland, or boring or if I was just upset they didn't have my salad but I didn't like anything but that dessert. I would recommend the bar side for those of you who are into beer. They have like 30 beers on tap. read more

In on a Friday night at 8pm. Sat quickly. Had a meat and cheese charcuterie, old fashioned and a martini. Food was great, just right. Two reasons I won't give this 5 stars. Service was okay, but seems like the waitress was also serving the bar, so painfully slow for second round of drinks. Second knock would be initial presentation. Priced and taste like a good mid range gastro pub but utensils are delivered in paper napkins instead of cloth. Would come back, but they need to fix those two items. read more

This place was East Side Marios before. They've got over 30+ beers on tap or bottled, the food has improved significantly since it's reincarnation. Thursdays is ladys night with a dj. Worth checking out for those in VSL, Laval and the West Island. read more

This place is inside the mall across from Sears. It clearly has a "bar side" where there was a low-key DJ (we were there on a Thursday night) and a more "family friendly" side. Amazing beer selection with 30 (?) or so beers on tap. Fun menu with a nice selection of wood-fired pizzas. Kids menu was not printed but included pasta, burger, or or pizza. Our server was very friendly and brought a couple of beer samples for us to try. He was also quite willing to speak English which was helpful since our French is abysmal! read more

Had the seared ahi-tuna sliders. Description said it had wasabi sauce and Kim-chi. The description couldn't be more far off. The Kim-chi is St-Hubert coleslaw and the wasabi (usually green) was sirracha (so red). Tuna was pre-cooked god knows when cause it was freezing cold. Even the "cooked" exterior. Tuna quality was also sub par. With this I'd stay far from the tartares. My friend had the club which I tried. Chicken was juicy and fries were good. I guess I should have tried a pizza which seems to be their specialty. Service was also so-so (you get the impression he didn't wannabe there). First and last time I eat here. read more

Food was really good. Excellent beer and cocktail selection. The pizza daze is good for 2. Really nice ambiance

I've been coming to this restaurant for the past 9-10 months with my co-workers. I always take the same meal, the sweet potato gnocchi - I LOVE it. However, the last couple of times I've been there, I've noticed the portion got smaller. It's literally 8-9 gnocchi for 18$, that's RIDICULOUS. The first time I asked our waitress if the portion got smaller because I always got more than this, she denied - but I had an old picture on my phone to prove it. That's when she made an 'exception' to make the portion bigger. read more

Really nice restaurant in Saint-Laurent. I really like the décor. There's a good selection of dishes and drinks. The items that I've tried were all very good, from the cocktails to the pasta to those awesome little sliders. Would definitely recommend it! read more

Location: Ville Saint-Laurent (at Place Vertu). Ample parking. In all honesty, there aren't too many options to grab a drink after work in this area, unless you want to hit up the West Island. The place: The interior is quite spacious, with a big bar and lots of wood accents. There are plenty of windows too, so the space is pretty bright. There's also a terrace of a decent size. The goods: I ordered the Sicilian sangria and my friend ordered the peach Bellini. I'm not going to lie - the drinks sucked. First of all, hers didn't look anything like a Bellini. It looked like white wine in a martini glass. She said it was vodka and that was about it. Apparently they ran out of orange juice, but frankly, even if they hadn't, it still wouldn't be a proper peach Bellini. On my end, the sangria was ordinary and while I could taste alcohol, that's about all I tasted. We decided to get some food and I ordered a pizza with Sopressata and mushrooms (extra) while my friend ordered the risotto. The pizza was thin crust, which is totally fine with me, though the bottom was slightly burnt. Taste-wise, it was good but there were exactly four slices of Sopressata and they didn't even cover the pizza. The amount of cheese was perfect for me since I don't really like all that much to begin with. Overall, the pizza lacked in toppings and while good, it wasn't the best I've had. In terms of size, it's pretty big. My friend thought the risotto was decent but it wasn't the best she's had. That said, it wasn't heavy so she appreciated that. Service: Friendly. Price point: The pizza was about $20 which is steep considering the shortage of stuff that's on it. I think in total, I paid about $35 for the pizza + 1 drink and my friend paid about the same. read more

Grilled octopus is delicious!!!!!!!!!! A must when you come here. First time eating it and was amazing!! Great selection of beers .

Haven't tried the food menu yet but the selection of beers is amazing! The service has always been great as well along with the atmosphere. It was very modern yet cozy. The tiramisu is worth getting so always save space, they're fresh and home made every morning so it's only while quantities last daily! Ive been there just for the tiramisu a couple times after work. Totally worth it read more

Great service and good food in a relaxed yet vintage urban environment. The bar section offers one of the largest selections of international draft beers I have ever seen. Great place to relax among yuppies and professionals after a long day at the office. Happy hour here is great. I was served by Sarah-Maude, a nice blonde barmaid with an incredible smile that offers great service. Definitely worth the detour for moderately priced food and drinks. read more
