Riventino Ristorante - Montreal, Quebec

This was the best food experience I have had in a long time. Food was great and service was exceptional. Was my first time here and will not be my last!

Excellent Bolognese sauce with perfectly cooked pasta. Fettucini con Gamberi was the freshest pasta I have ever tasted. Wine suggestions by hands on owner were spot on. Deserts were also very good, THANK YOU! HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

Great food. They make homemade olives! Fantastic, focaccia was amazing, the prosciutto and melon was so fresh! Had the 4 cheese pizza but couldn’t finish it because the appetizers were so good. The dining room is a little outdated but the food was amazing and the location was nice and relaxing. Will absolutely ... go back Read more

We ordered fried calamari, lamb shank, their shrimp dish and a pizza. Their pizza and shrimp were good. The calamari was alright, it was a little bit dry and no batter. The most disappointing part was the most expensive lamb shank... For a ~$50 main dish, I was expecting something ... at least cooked to perfection, but it was either overcooked or it was left under the heating light for too long... The outer layer was bone dry and hard to chew. Overall, the food could've probably been 4 stars but there is not enough value. The Scarolies Pasta Emporium in West Island has the same ratings, portion wise is better bang for your bucks on everything and their lamb chop (although not shank) is tender and consistent every time you order it.

Loved it! The staff is very friendly and courteous. The food is delicious. It just lacks a bit ambiance (not a lot of people), but at the same time, that can be great for those looking for a quite dinner experience.
