This was a last minute dinner for our last night in Montreal. It was such a cozy, simple Italian place. We got there around 7pm, which I guess is right before the dinner rush. They played calm Italian music and the servers were very friendly and attentive. My friend got chicken parm (all meat dishes come with pasta) and I got gnocchi with tomato sauce. I wish the bread came with olive oil but that was the only downside. Great place for a simple Italian meal and atmosphere! read more

Just a great old school Italian trattoria. A proper carbonara. Great carpaccio. The tortellini in red sauce with mushrooms is amazing - must try. Caesar salad is solid. Decent tiramisu. Nice wines by the glass. Mauro welcomes guests, with Joe helping. Everything you could ask for a nice, classic Italian night out. Not fancy. Just good. I wish I could find a place close to home with the same reverence for Italian cooking. Grazie, Mauro! read more

An excellent authentic choice! I got the gnocchi rose and it was great and not too heavy. We also got spumoni and it was clearly homemade and tasted like it (in a good way). This is a great choice for a tourist looking to get some excellent Italian in the city . read more

Delicious food and GREAT SERVICE! Small and charming, this place will not disappoint. Wide variety of menu Options and the chef will accommodate the picky eater. Wait staff and management were there to please. Delicious soup offerings for a chilly day and the Chicken Parm and pasta were fresh and cooked to perfection! I had read that this restaurant was perfect for single diners. No joke- there were 5 tables of single diners! read more

Absolutely incredible front to back. Far too often do I leave disappointed from an Italian restaurant thinking my Mother or Grandmother could make this better. This restaurant is different, truly impressive. One of the few times I have been left practically speechless at the table. We got Gnocchi Rose and Manicotti, both were delicious. Both sauces were incredible and the pasta was very fresh. The wait staff was very attentive and very kind consistently checking in and willing to chat. It is very tastefully decorated and had a good noise level easy for talking. While slightly on the pricier side, for 2 pasta entrees, desert, and a mixed drink it was $101(I can't recall if that was before or after tip) which I felt was very reasonable for the quality of both the food and service. The fact that there was no wait on a Saturday night, and we were the only diners at 8pm, was shocking when other restaurants in the area were booked out. I will be returning every time I visit Montreal, Trattoria Trestevere deserves a Michelin Star in my eyes. read more

Wonderful little Italian place in downtown MTL. All of the classic Italian dishes that you would love and quite a selection of wine as well. The service was excellent and attentive. We each very much enjoyed our dishes: gnocchi rosé, linguine primavera, and the fettuccine Alfredo. The bread service was warm and crispy. The salads were ok. The dessert was also not bad. A totally enjoyable experience and the food was wonderful too. read more

Came bere to grab dinner after my flight and lured by the good reviews. The food is not authentic, bland and not worth the price. The gnocchi with truffle didn't have any shaved truffles and when asked, the waiter told me that it had truffle oil. After eating 1/4 of the plate I just left it as it was bland (oily, no salt or deep flavors). The tortellini in brodo, what a disservice to the Italian community, it was 7 pieces of frozen huge tortellini in Maggi/Knorr broth. I cannot recommend this place and I don't believe the kitchen is managed by Italians. read more

This restaurant was amazing Italian. The Caesar had proper composition with the perfect balance of dressing and croutons. I had a parmigiana which was perfect, it was accompanied with a serving of spaghetti with a sauce that had flavor and perfect texture. As someone who is consistently disappointed with Italian restaurants, this is a real five stars. read more

Trattoria Trestevere - I could not finish, it was fantastic. I'm very picky on Italian food. - Italian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Delicious Italian food - we tried the rice croquettes, ravioli, and Lasagna. All excellent and huge portions. We didn't eat all of the entrees because we wanted to try the tiramisu - excellent. Fairly small space, excellent attention from staff. One of our favorites so far in Montréal - a foodie paradise!! read more

Seated immediately and the waiter was accommodating and creative in compensating for their short menu. Food was fresh, tasty and not overpriced. read more

After being abroad in Italy for a few months, this was probably one of the most familiar restaurants I've been to since!! The nice man who took our order was just the sweetest and we reminisced about Italy together. He made the restaurant seem so much homier. The steak I ordered was delicious, and all the beef meals come with spaghetti, which is amazing. It had such a delicious mushroom sauce. I left feeling very warm and satisfied!! read more

Food was ok. Not the best Italian but no complaints. Service was nice. Pasta aldente which I love.

Excellent, friendly, lovely little spot. Service was awesome, food was absolutley delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. The Straticella soup was piping hot and flavorful, and the pasta was melt in your mouth and tasty ( lasagna and manicotti ). And of course desert was worth it too read more

Very good! I got the tortellini Gigi and it was perfect. Also the fried gnocchi is very delicious. An instant favorite!

Located in a very central location of Crescent Street just below St. Catherine. On a Saturday night Owner or maitre d' was very accommodating squeezing us in and giving us a great table regardless of the busy setting. Started off with a delicious mozzarella en carrozza, fried zucchini and straciatella and minestrone soups. Main courses included a delicious mushroom risotto, outstanding gnocchi rose, a fantastic osso bucco and a great chicken Marsala. Great service and food in a wonderful setting! Highly recommended. read more

Came here for the first time and from the time I walked in, was treated like family! Mauro the owner was so upbeat, funny and so attentive to our needs. We were nervous as there were tornado warnings and he made us feel so comfortable. Now for the food if I can give this place a 10 I would ! I had the homemade gnocci in rose just melted in my mouth. Mushroom risotto was over the top delicious. Brread comes hot right out of the oven Cesar salad was fresh and delicious! A must try is their dessert fried gnocci in Nutella ! I think I'll be going back again tomorrow - the best Italian in town !!! (Victoria Colacci-Petrou) read more

The owner and staff were superb , very friendly and accommodating, made sure we are satisfied!My wife is gluten sensitive and I am a pescatarian , they told us the ingredients and made some dietary modifications based on our request.

This place is fantastic! I came by myself while traveling for business. What a warm welcome and atmosphere on a rainy fall Montreal evening!

Gord and I had supper tonight at Trattoria Trestevere. Avelino brought us some appies ... the bruschetta was delicious. He also brought us some warm rolls ... they were soft on the inside and crusty on the outside. Gord started with a Caesar's Salad and he said it was the best Caesar's Salad he's ever had. Gord ordered Spaghetti carbonara and said it was delicious. He liked that the pasta was fresh and he said the sauce was good. He'd get it again. I ordered Lasagna al forno and it too was delicious. The pasta was fresh and it was a large portion. Yum! After our meal, Avelino brought us a bowl of walnuts and nectarines. Alas, we were too full to enjoy them. I mentioned that Gord's birthday was tomorrow and Avelino bought him a piece of cake. I just had a couple bites and it was good ... it seemed to be soaked in booze and the icing was creamy. If you want traditional Italian food, you should check it out! read more

Best meal we've had in Canada. We've come to the F1 race for many years. We used to rely on taking Friday night dinner on race weekend at the hotel. The hotel renovated and the menu for race weekend was restricted so there were few things we could eat. We talked our way in to a busy restaurant - also with a reduced menu for the weekend. The minestrone was awesome. The mushroom risotto had a wonderfully subtle and rich flavor. My Chicken Parmesan was to die for. Home far away from home. A gem. read more

Great atmosphere in here. The food was great, the service was amazing. Try the fried gnocchi for dessert!

Located on lower Crescent Street, you will find Trattoria to be homey, comfortable and friendly. It is an older restaurant, but that only makes it more fun. They make you feel like family. Each dish is great. They have a shrimp dish you must try and save room for desert. Their wine list is very nice and will not make you take out a second mortgage. You will love this place. The locals seem to and they are very friendly. read more

We were so appreciative that this restaurant was willing to accommodate our 2 families last minute prior to the Bruins-Montreal hockey game. The staff made you feel like family and the food was delicious. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem and we feel so grateful that we found it! read more

Food was amazing. Cozy atmosphere that was exactly what we were looking for. Excellent service, and we even made a connection to the waiter through a friend of his in our hometown (in a different country mind you!). read more

Boy oh boy has this place maintained its luster over the years, the food, table and wine service is as top notch as you will find any where and the food, well you'll just have to go for yourself as words simply cannot adequately convey the delightful experience that awaits you at Trattoria Trestevere. I started with the escargot in a heavenly sauce that was just plain awesome, followed by a piece of perfectly grilled Dore. Dore is a very delicate mild tasting fish but the flavor was enhanced by a subtle grilled smokey charred flavor served in a lemon butter wine sauce, simply out of this world delicious. The accompanying pasta with tomato sauce was as perfectly done as anyone could possibly expect or hope for in this life time anywhere. Dessert was a creme caramel, it too was excellent and an espresso short with a glass of Sambucca with three coffee beans, là vous allez la conclusion parfaite! Do not miss this Montreal Italian food standout, I trust you will be as mesmerized with your experience as I was and am with mine. read more

AMAZING FOOD, incredibly kind and entertaining waitstaff and an incredible wine selection. Highly recommend !!

Fantastic food with courteous service! Truffle Gnocchi was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit! Molto Bene!

Nice atmosphere, cozy and cute inside. Excellent traditional and authentic Italian food. Original owners from the Rome area. Service excellent. Friendly and attentive staff. We went early (6:00), to avoid the crowds, and this was a great decision. Crowds started pouring in around 7:30, right when we were getting ready to leave. My husband had the seafood linguine which he loved, and I had veal saltimbocca. Both dishes were excellent. We tried the dessert gnocchi, a unique pairing of fried gnocchi served with Nutella. It was a a sweet treat with coffee! read more

Urgh! This is a frustrating review to write because I think that I made the fatal error of just ordering the wrong things. You know when you look around and you think, "Wait a sec...all of their food looks really good...why does my food not look like that?" So I'm gonna give it another try, and will update if necessary. Here's the deal...we both ordered off the table d'hôte. And it really was not worth it, in my opinion, for the tiny salad and kind of average dessert that you spend about ten extra bucks for. (Also, you gotta gimme a heads up if all your desserts are soaked in alcohol. Homie don't play that.) I don't quite recall our choices, but I do recall that they were almost entirely composed of cheese, upon cheese, upon cheese. And not much else. I get it Italian food has cheese. But not that much. I will say, it was quality, not your random shredded pizza mozz. But it was just overwhelming. The service was great though. And I liked the ambiance pretty well. read more

An absolute jewel in the heart of downtown Montreal. If you haven't been, it's time to visit. My mother and I visited this restaurant last night and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Beautiful ambiance and amazing food which is worth elaborating...I had their escargot as a starter and gnocchi rose for main and my mom had smoked salmon and Osso Buco. My meal was to die for. My mom loved hers as well and let me tell you she is one picky eater. We also shared tiramisu and fried gnocchis for dessert which both were so yummy. Last but not least...Exceptional service. Mauro, the owner who served us was very inviting and charming. Thanks for an amazing dining experience!! read more
