Stopped by Bilbao for lunch while in Montreal for the F1 GP. The Neapolitan pizza was delicious and the staff and service were outstanding. They deserve a raise. Made us feel so welcomed and genuinely cared for us while we were dining. Easy 5 stars. Thank you!

Really enjoyed our visit here! The pizza was fresh, cheesy, and packed with flavor — exactly what you want from a good Italian spot. The mocktails were refreshing and paired perfectly with the food. Great ambiance, friendly staff, and an overall amazing dining experience. Would definitely come back!

Thought we could grab a quick bite here but we ordered two pizzas and it took more than 30 mins to get to our table…

A nice restaurant with tasty food but very limited selection. Adding more items on the menu is highly recommended.

We got two pizzas and a Caesar salad. The crust was fantastic! Sauce great, quality of the ingredients was top notch. One of the best pizzas we’ve had outside of Napoli. In addition, the servers were kind and attentive. We recommend!

We stopped here for a late dinner. It was a really nice pizzeria with a casual yet artsy feeling vibe. The staff were so friendly and fun. The drinks were great. The pizzas were AMAZING! Thin crust fresh and flavourful ingredients. We had two pasta dishes and they were okay but they paled in comparison to the pizzas. We ordered the Margherita, the pizza Bianca with the fennel sausage and the 4-cheese pizza. We'll have to make this a destination for our next visit to old Montreal.

We enjoyed a great meal here, we’re Australians visiting Montreal and have been shown so much hospitality! The fried olives were a standout, as was the limoncello cocktail. Our server Nick was perfect and so fun. It’s in a beautiful part of the old town with lots of restaurants and bars and people out and about. Recommend it!

Expensive, mid food, super slow service. Went in a group of 4 for dinner, with reservation. Took us 15 minutes to be seated even though we showed up at reservation time and there were plenty of empty tables, then they forgot about us for 45 minutes (while waiters were passing by us looking at our table). Finally, when we got to order, we ordered food and drinks. The food came first!! We had to wait an extra 10 minutes for our drinks (they were fine drinks). As for the food, it was fine, nobody was super impressed by their dish. If the prices were 60-70% of what they are at this restaurant, then it would be worth it.

my partner and i came here for our first night in montreal and it was the most perfect experience. we each got the $30 special and the bartender even offered to make me my own cocktail when i had trouble deciding. the food was amazing, perfect even, salad to die for, and the atmosphere was romantic and lively and incredible. the service is 10/10, the staff here are so kind and incredible and make me want to tip them way too much then i should. could not give higher praise for anyone in montreal looking for a good time and a perfect meal.
