On a recent visit to Montreal my wife and I both ordered the Cheese Wheel pasta. I had no idea what it was prior to seeing the neighboring table order this. My wife was already planning to order it while I decided after seeing this. It's quite entertaining to witness only to be exceeded by the flavor. This pasta rivals the best of what I had in Rome for my honeymoon over a decade ago. The sharp pecorino flavor along with truffle sauce is heavenly! My son ordered the margherita tartufo which was great as well. He loved it. During our 16-day roadtrip to New England and Quebec this meal was one of the highlights. read more

Amazing location. Beautiful ambiance and decor inside. Makes one feel like they traveled to a special place for dinner. The food was equally amazing. We had a group of 6 people and shared a antipasto. It was very plentiful. My entree was pasta. Everything was very good. Service was fast and waiter was attentive. read more

The suppli and tiramisu were delicious. I also enjoyed the gnocchi and ravioli but found them a tad too heavy for me personally. My friend mentioned that the aged steak was delicious as well. Loved the ambiance here -- feels like you're dining in Europe. read more

Really nice pasta here! We joined for lunch on a weekday and we're really impressed by the lunch special. We had soup, pasta and dessert for a reasonable price. The pasta was cooked well and the food tasted really fresh. It was pretty quiet in the restaurant so the food came out quickly. Would definitely return! read more

Went to Jacopo for a dinner with my colleagues and my partner. The food was good, but the service was abysmal. The ambiance was not great either, as we had a really hard time hearing one another in our group of 7. The food was overall good - the osso bucco was delicious, the cheese wheel pasta was good but I think it needed a little more flavor (maybe I should have asked for some salt). The calamari was excellent and the bread was good too (they do not offer free bread as other restaurants in the area might). What made an otherwise good meal turn slightly sour was our service. Maybe the server was having a bad day, but he really seemed to take it out on us. To cut to the chase, he was very gruff with how he talked to us and answered our questions (made us feel kind of stupid for asking certain questions...), spilled on my partners shoulder and didn't acknowledge or apologize, and at one point slid the desserts down the table at me rather than putting them in front of those of us who ordered. He really just didn't seem to care. We weren't high maintenance individuals, so I'm not sure why there was so much attitude towards our table. Therefore, I cannot give Jacopo a higher rating. read more

Food was excellent, service was good. The spaghetti dish that I ordered with pork and spicy accents was excellent!

excellent italian food. menu has enough choices for whatever you're in the mood for. beautiful setting and service was spot on

Ambiance is gorgeous so I'll give it two stars but that's about it for this place. The food was terrible. The gnocchi was undercooked and hard to bite in to. The carbonara had an awful smell and the basil pesto was just okay. For the prices they charge, the food is not up to par. I highly recommend avoiding this place. read more

JACOPO - Pesto, gnocchi and carbonara - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Everything here was FANTASTIC. I liked my gnocchi but the ravioli was the best thing I ate while in Montreal. It was creamy, savory and they did not skimp on the cheesy filling, thank GOD. The servers were all so nice and helped us decide what drinks and charcuterie board size to get. I really have no complaints, I loved every second of my time here. Oh and don't forget to *demand* the focaccia. read more

Wonderful dinner last night at Jacopo in Old Town Montreal. This restaurant is in a great location in the heart of old Montreal. We enjoyed the pesto pasta and short rib entrees. Perfect portions, fresh and delicious! Our services was attentive and friendly. Great place to go if your sightseeing in the area for a delicious bite. read more

Our party of 6 was seated when we arrived as we had a reservation. Our waitperson, Leah, was friendly. We ordered drinks and one was never served. The focaccia was giant pieces of thick bread that lacked any saltiness. (Isn't focaccia supposed to be sprinkled with salt?) Now we waited for the entrees.... and waited. The tables around us filled up and the room got very loud. After an hour, entrees arrived. My orchiaetta with spicy sausage was tasty though there was little meat. Wish I would have ordered a more meat-centered dish though prices for those were very high. So this place was not a hit for me and I would not recommend. Couldn't wait to get out of there. read more

We swung by Jacopo for lunch after strolling around old port. We could easily get a table on their outdoor patio without prior reservation. We ordered the eggs with potatoes, fruits and bread, leek ravioli and some bread on the side. The waiter messed up our order and added bacon to our ravioli. We then had to wait another 10-15 mins to get our veggie ravioli. We also ordered some bread in the side which took ages to come. I mean, it's just bread! Why would you take 15 mins for it? We ended the lunch with some tiramisu which was delightful and some nice strong Cortado and latte. Apart from the service, the food, ambience and atmosphere were amazing. The outdoor patio was heated which was helpful. read more

Cute restaurant in old montreal in the main square. The pomelo spritz was good but a little more bitter than the hibiscus spritz. I got the margherita al turtufo which was pretty good. Service was decently quick and all the pastas looked good! read more

The ambiance of this restaurant is wonderful and cozy; dimly lit with exposed stone, brick, and wood beams. The service was exceptional from start to finish, our wine glasses were never allowed to go empty. Our candle went out towards the end of dinner, and it's not even something I would have cared about, but they replaced it almost instantaneously without us saying a word! We visited during a 3 course dinner special, and everything was amazing. To begin, the house focaccia was some of the best bread I've had anywhere. The tuna tartare was presented beautifully, and the mango puree was such an innovative touch to the classic dish. I had the veal cannelloni while my girlfriend had the seafood risotto, and both were delicious. The cannelloni were cooked perfectly al dente, and the red sauce and filling were hearty. The seafood risotto was balanced, and both the squid and shrimp were tender and fresh. For dessert, we had strawberry lychee panna cotta, and mango cannoli, both of which were excellent. I have nothing but good things to say, and the next time we are in Montreal we will be back! read more

We had a nice brunch here. They have multiple Eggs Benedict choices and pasta too for brunch. Our server was really nice. The view of the Old Montreal square/promenade on a snowy winter day was special read more

Great place for a dinner date with hubby. It had an old world feel with rustic elegance. I loved the old brick walls and wood beams with the graceful chandeliers. Our server Xavier was great and personable. He helped me pick out a suitable dish. I loved how conscientious the staff was in cleaning the glassware so there are no spots. Very diligent in making sure things were clean. We ordered the Rosoto ai Frutti di Mare which was excellent and the Ragù a l'Agnello which was also good. The only critique would be the portion sizes were small for the price. read more

The food was good but the service was incredibly bad. Ordered a glass of wine before dinner and hadn't received it even after the meal was done. Advised the waiter that and he apologized that he was busy-when your paying $40 for a meal you expect Better service than this. Not even a glass of water, unacceptable . Saw many other people that waited over 30 mins to see a waiter after being seated. Would not recommend or return. read more

This restaurant is located on the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal. It has an inviting entrance and old town warmth when you enter. Service was outstanding, the waiter knew the menu and gave excellent recommendations. He was fluent in French & English. The Caesar Salad was quite possibly the very best I have ever had. The pasta was good, but if you don't like al dente noodles, ask them to cook longer. Incredible flavors throughout. This place was highly recommended & for good reason. I would absolutely go here again, a great experience in the heart of Old Montreal! read more

Restaurant in the center of square. Nice location. Love the ambience. Be prepared to have lots for conversation piece as our 4 main entrees took an hour to come out. Food quality was ok, a bit disappointed for the quality of restaurant. Gnocchi was a bit undercook. Calamari and focacci were a hit. Service was not memorable. read more

I would like to give them 3.5 stars. 1. Location: amazing, beautiful view of the city and people walking by and at the heart of old town. 2. Food: not that good in taste and worst of all, they gave us a wrong meal we didn't order. We kept it, but it still didn't taste good. 3. Drinks: too sugary and the tables are wobbly it spilled. Soon after, the drinks are so sugary and stuck to the table cloth. As I pulled it, it spilled again. What a nightmare. 4. Service: not good The server didn't help with all the mess, especially since one of them was caused by her. So yeah, I can't recommend this place. read more

Every single dish we ordered was absolutely amazing, from appetizers we ordered the burrata that was super fresh to the Cesar that was the perfect amount of dressing. Both pasta dishes were phenomenal. Highly recommend. The ambiance and service were 10/10 as well. read more

Came in with a party of 6 at 8:20 PM and didn't get served until 10 PM. That's over an hour and a half of waiting with zero urgency or concern from the staff. No updates, no apologies, nothing. Just ignored. The customer service was beyond disappointing--rude, slow, and completely inattentive. It honestly felt like we were being treated differently than the other tables, and I can't help but wonder if our skin color had something to do with it. No one should have to question whether discrimination is at play when they go out to eat. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration. This place doesn't deserve your business. read more

This restaurant has some of the most difficult attitude to work with. They explained that there was an extremely long wait because they were overwhelmed. I asked for a ballpark estimate. The hostess refused to give it. I asked them how many people were in line before me? She refused to even answer. What turned me off this place was that we actually got the table within a few minutes. Would not recommend this place. read more

Took some clients here for a dinner function. We were seated in kind of an atrium-style room with window panels in the ceiling. Unfortunately it made the room quite hot. They did bring in some fans but whew - it was warm! The menu was mostly pre-set, which is good. I had a short rib entre and it was so-so. A little tough/chewy for my liking. The other courses were good. Had a dessert cake that was gluten free and it actually tasted like it. I've had plenty of gluten free pasta and other dishes, however, this one I did not care for. Maybe I had an off night with my taste buds. Service was excellent for a large room and a number of people. I would have to try their regular menu and seating to get a better sense. I would try it again. read more

It was a great spot in the middle of old Montreal and had no issues getting a seat outside. There was only a few servers so it took a while to get wine at first. The bruschetta and house focaccia bread was good. The pasta was delicious too. read more

Overall: Would recommend visiting for the AMAZING cocktails and environment. Consider my rating a 3.5 -- my friends and I really enjoyed our experience at Jacopo, but I was far more impressed by the drinks than the food. Value: 9/10. My three friends and I each paid around $33 CAD ($23 USD) for the meal -- we shared a starter and split two pastas + two cocktails. I think ordering just one cocktail in the US would normally cost this much. Taste: 6.5/10. The fried calamari starter was great; not too greasy-feeling, and the right amount of sourness + crunchiness. The pastas, however, felt somewhat uninspired. The carbonara was very eggy, which could be good, but there was not a lot of other flavor nor were the noodles themselves notable. The gnocchi primarily tasted like standard tomato sauce; there was some fried scallion sprinkled on top that added a lot to the flavor but overall, I would not revisit for the food. Presentation: 9/10. Particularly for the cocktails, which were beautiful! We got the Bella Vita and Myka Lina. Ambiance: 9/10. Beautiful restaurant connected to a hotel near Old Port. Feels spacious and bright. We were drawn to the restaurant by the lively music outside, whereas the inside was very quiet -- bring the music inside! :-) Dined: December 11, 2022 read more

We arrive at Jacopo for Happening Gourmand event. This is my second visit to Jacopo; previously, I enjoyed a delicious and beautiful brunch. Tonight, Let's say it was a memorable evening. Outside, we were freezing, but the luminous decors outside give you a slight warmth in your heart, then in the restaurant, full of people, the vibrancy is all over. Then our waiter Benjamin is the most friendly, animated person I have encountered. Initially, I wasn't sure he was annoying or clever, but honestly we fell in love with him. He is very knowledgeable about everything, and you can get into an easy conversation about any topics. He is so infectious, the couple beside us became part of our conversation. For happening gourmand, we had the table d'hôte menu. I had a honey old fashioned cocktail (A+, excellent) followed by a cauliflower salad (A+, perfectly flavored), then squash risotto with blue cheese (A-, creamy but little bitter) and apple pie with caramel and ice cream (C, too sweet). All this 29$ plus 10$ for the cocktail. Perfect deal! The restaurant itself is beautiful but the meat rack in the glass window is slightly disturbing. Service, food, and ambiance are excellent. Recommended!!! read more

We ordered calamari as an appetizer, the sauce was tasty, the squid was tender. I waited super long to get the pasta wheel and the person doing the table service kept fixing his pants. My friend didn't get her pasta as well. We waiting for so long I between our app and main course. The restaurant was super loud since there were two parties in the same room. read more

Honestly nothing special about this place. This place has been overhyped so much, I was so sad because I was expecting more. Service not the greatest, average I love that they brought focaccia with oil and vinegar. We got the bruschetta, the octopus Salad and the Gnochi. The bruschetta and Gnochi lacked flavor but the octopus Salad was very good. There are so many better place to go in the old port when it comes to Italian dining. I don't think I would go back read more

I had lunch at Jacopo's neighbor restaurant Sabrosa before exploring Old Montreal. On my way back, Jacopo caught my eye and I'm so glad I stopped. I ate outdoors but was pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous decor when I ventured indoors. The squid ink pasta was one of the best meals I ever ate. The panzanella was tasty as well. My server was a delight. I would highly recommend Jacopo to anyone visiting Old Montreal. read more

Prices are very standard for Old Montreal bit I'm happy to report the food is absolutely delicious. The mortadella is delicious and perfectly slices thin..the burrata is amazingly simple and perfect. Extra creamy and just lovely...only wish it wasn't served so chilled..but I'm guessing it needs to be? Anyways the service is top notch and the location could be more in the heart of things. read more
