Hostaria - Montreal, Quebec

What an amazing dinner! Great food and the service was excellent!!!!

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. Read more

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. Read more

There are a few dishes that we had in Italy that we have had trouble finding here in Montreal. There are plenty of great Italian restaurants in this city and this one is one of them. It has some unique dishes that we saw in Italy and have not seen ... since like the wild board pasta or pasta with rabbit. Well worth the visit especially with the great service and the place is really nice. Read more

I discovered this restaurant from the TV Show Guide Resto Voir. Yesterday was my second time there and loved it even more than the first time. We ate pasta, seafood, veggies, lamb and more. The waiter had plenty of good suggestions so we gave him our budget and let him choose ... for us. We were not disappointed. We drank one red wine bottle which was really good and I was pleasantly surprised that it did not cost more than 50$ which is lower than my normal expectations for a wine in a restaurant. Read more
