After reading & hearing so many outstanding reviews for this restaurant, I had high expectations going in. However, I didn't love my experience, and will likely not be back. To start, our waiter was lovely, but relatively absent throughout the evening. I'm not sure if they were short-staffed that night, but the restaurant was only about 60% full and we had difficulty flagging our waiter down. The salted caramel espresso martini I had was amazing, but unfortunately the rest of the food that followed was lackluster. We ordered the arugula salad, truffle fries, and octopus to start - everything was simply 'ok' - except for the octopus which was inedible and covered in some sort of congealed fat. The restaurant kindly covered 50% of the dish because they noticed we hadn't touched it, which was super appreciated! For our mains, I ordered the Gamberi Fra'Diavolo (spicy shrimp and spaghetti) and my fiancé ordered the pasta with lamb meat sauce, and both were solid, but we had to wait over 1.5 hours to receive our dishes. Again, the restaurant was not even close to capacity, and not once did our server come by and acknowledge the wait time. By the time we finished our mains, we just wanted to leave and not risk ordering dessert/coffee for fear of how long it would take. I wish we had had a more positive experience to report, but for the price - we did not find the service/food adequate. Maybe the restaurant was just having an off night, but there are no shortage of amazing Italian spots in Montreal which we would recommend instead of Bis!

We had a delicious meal and wonderful service from Partha. Great wine recommendation and food was amazing. We had seafood risotto, veal and carbonara. Would highly recommend for authentic Italian.

I was very disappointed, and embarrassed, in how one of our guests was treated. When he ordered a salad which was all he wanted to eat, the waiter told him that was not acceptable and he would have to order another dish as well. This kind of attitude is unacceptable when serving a table of 6 and everyone is ordering their meals (most with appetizers and main courses) along with cocktails.

Food was really good, service was great but slightly slow, very quiet & easy to talk, almost too quiet lol, tables were close so you can hear other peoples’ conversations. Would recommend.

Food was tasty and well presented. I was just a little disappointed with the wait staff. Maybe it was just the waiter that we had specifically. Everything felt very rushed. The communication from the waiter was very short and felt like he didn’t have much interest in listening to any questions. I have a gluten allergy and the communication in terms of what was gf was poor. Just a recommendation to get something grilled, and any follow up questions were brushed off. When I ordered a dessert and I asked if there was anything inside that would contain gluten It was once again a rushed answer. So when it arrived with a gluten containing ingredient, and I asked to have it remade, the response from the wait staff felt as if they were annoyed. I think overall it’s a good restaurant, my experience just didn’t feel very welcoming.

Salads were overdressed and Parmesan crisp not crispy. Pasta and risotto were overcooked and tasted like they were reheated in microwave, not cooked for us. Restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday night. Should have been a hint.

Absolutely horrible! Made reservations for Christmas Eve dinner 1 month before for our trip. They called 2hrs before our reservation saying they were closed. Unacceptable! Had to scramble at the last minute to get reservations on a major holiday.

Paloma was outstanding! She looked after us with great attention to detail. She was personable, helpful, and paid a lot of attention to ensuring the pace of the meal was what we wanted. I would definitely come again, in part because the ambiance was romantic and our table was perfect, , but mostly because of the amazing Paloma!

A fun restaurant before a Habs game. We were allowed to park close by and the resto gave us a voucher to cover the cost of parking. The food was generally good. Appetizers were delicious. We tried the Calamari Fritti, Salsiccia Peperonata and finally Zucchini Fritti. The main dishes we had the Ossobuco di Vitello with risotto milanese. We found the veal to be very fatty. Also the risotto was lacking taste. The other dish we tried was the Melanzane alla Siciliana. It was very good however not very filling. Probably a good idea to have a little pasta with it. Overall I enjoyed our dining experience.
