My friend and I hosted a birthday event and honestly could not have asked for a better evening! The vibe, staff & food was all so incredible and accommodating! Definitely will be back!!
What guests say about Moreiras
Customers really like the quality of the food, especially the pizzas, pasta, arancini, and tiramisu. The atmosphere is often described as warm and pleasant, with a cozy decor, even if the place can be small, noisy, and fill up quickly. Service is often excellent and attentive, but a few reviews mention a lack of professionalism or a disappointing service experience.
Reviews / Ratings for Moreiras
Food was amazing, Tiramisu was the best I’ve had and great service by Angela. Would recommend
Came here for the first time with my girlfriend and it was a nice experience. Suprised how busy it was for a 9pm reservation. If you don't like noisy environments this is not the place for you as the restaurant is quite small. The food is delicious, the pizza is absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. The staff was great!
Fantastic food! Very delicious and loved the ambiance. Will definitely be back :)
Service was amazing. food was phenomenal everything was amazing. this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to
What a hidden gem in the heart of Griffintown, just steps away from some of the more famous restaurants in the area! This is such a small and cozy place, yet the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. Angela was taking care of us, and she is truly a gem. She was super attentive, incredibly kind, and made our experience even better. Now, let’s talk about the drinks! The mocktail menu is actually amazing, especially for those who don’t drink. And if you enjoy a good glass of wine, their wine list is fantastic as well. Everything is top-notch, and price-wise, it’s super affordable. They’re not overcharging you for a drink or a mocktail, which is honestly refreshing. And the food… wow! Absolutely outstanding. The pasta, the pizza — everything was so fresh and so delicious. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Honestly, this place is the definition of a hidden gem. Authentic, cozy, great atmosphere, amazing food and drinks, wonderful service, and very reasonable prices. We will definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend. ❤️
Everything was simply incredible. Went with friends and had a blast!
amazing food, huge pizzas. 5/5 everywhere
Had my going away party for uni, service was amazing and food was delicious! 10/10 recommend
Pretty good Italian food but the services was 0 I wouldn’t recommend to anyone to go there cause of the service. I felt like they just wanted to kick me out of the restaurant ASAP and the restaurant was pretty empty
Incredibly good food service and atmosphere, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Italian meal with high quality ingredients and friendly staff!
Such a wonderful experience. The food was amazing! The workers made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked in, and it really shows how much care you put into what you do. Can’t wait to come back!!
Best pizza in the city! Pasta chef is A1.
Best service Angela was the best waitress Food was an 11/10
Best pizza dough I've had since travelling to Italy. The food was delicious and at a very reasonble price for the quality and flavors. Service was a bit on the slow side but only because the restaurant was packed but the waitress was sweet and friendly and made great suggestions. They have a cute terrasse in front of the restaurant. The pistachio cheesecake is a must try.
The pizzas were amazing. Burrata is fresh.. arancini succulent and service was amazing there. the freshness of the ingredients is something worth going back there. highly recommend and will go back to try the pastas…
We have been regular customers at Moreira’s for a long time and have always enjoyed coming here. We often order pizzas, drinks, and other menu items, which is why this experience was so disappointing. Today, our fries were extremely overcooked and too hard to eat. We politely asked if they could be replaced, and while they did bring us another order, they looked exactly the same. We even noticed that another table’s fries looked completely different and much better. We barely touched ours. When it came time to pay, we simply mentioned that the replacement fries were still overcooked. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the waitress, who was also the manager, responded, “Well, we already changed them for you. You guys always complain about the food and drinks, so I don’t know why you still come back.” We were honestly shocked by this comment because it was incredibly rude and simply not true. We have always enjoyed coming here and have never been known to complain. What disappointed us most wasn’t the fries—mistakes can happen in any restaurant. It was the way the situation was handled. As the manager, she chose to respond with accusations instead of professionalism, understanding, or even a simple apology. Despite the disrespectful way we were treated, we still chose to pay our bill in full and leave a tip. Unfortunately, the service we received was far from deserving of it. This experience has cost Moreira’s three regular customers. We will not be returning.
Really nice experience. We will come back.
We got a reservation last minute and I have no idea how, because the food here is top notch. We had:the caeser salad (which they make with fried prosciutto) 5/5arancini, crispy and flavourful. 4/5the pistachio pesto pasta which is something i have never tried but absolutely loved, it was not too salty like some pesto sauces can be yet it was flavourful. 4/5and their daily special pizza which i took a picture of, i think it had tomato sauce, burrata cheese , hot pepperoni, hot honey and hot oil sauce on the side. I asked for the pizza to be well done and it came out amazingly, crispy on the outside but not overdone. The pizza dough was just the right amount of salty 5/5****edit: I forgot to mention the dessert cause i dont eat sweets but my girl did, its was a tiramisu in a little coffee pot you can see in the picture. She liked it and it made her happy so i guess its a 5/5 for me! I liked the presentation for sure. ***mtl is full of italian restaurants, and some are more popular than they deserve (in my humble opinion), however without a doubt this place deserves way more credit and hype. I honestly didn’t want to write this review so i don’t have to compete for reservations but here we are.the venue is small and feels like a local mom & pop restaurant, its quiet enough where u can easily hear each other, and i think they have a terrace when the weather is nice but it was raining when we went. Parking is very limited in that entire area so i suggest you uber or walk.service is fantastic, our server was angela and she took great care of us.(cocktails were solid too)if i ever want to treat friends or family to italian in mtl i am bringing them here. and you should too!
Always a great time at Moreiras! The food and the service is quite amazing! Angela and Alexa are always great and extremely attentive to details even when the place is super busy. The food is always super fresh and tasteful. My go-to choices would be the Calamari for the entree, Rigatoni Pesto for the main paired with a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio and you have to try their Tiramisu!! This place is quite the hidden gem!
If I could do half stars I would. This place is a 4.5.Star of the show is the arancini - crispy, seasoned well, and not so heavy you feel like you’ve over eaten before the main.Pasta and pizza are solid. Need a tiny bit more salt but overall very good.
Recently my husband and I decided to go out for dinner and drove to our favorite restaurant, but unfortunately we could not stay because they were already closing and it was getting a little late. So I suggested that we randomly pick a place on Google Maps based on reviews and at that exact moment we happened to be driving past your restaurant. I told my husband to stop because I noticed that you had many reviews and most of them were wonderful. The food in people’s photos looked absolutely delicious and we decided to give it a try. Sometimes photos can be misleading and reviews too because everyone has different tastes and a different understanding of what good food and atmosphere should be. But this time my intuition did not fail me. We walked into the restaurant and were surprised that it was almost empty because the place itself was beautiful, cozy and had such a welcoming atmosphere. Our food arrived very quickly and everything was absolutely delicious. Every dish was charming in its own way and full of flavor. The truffle pasta was absolutely magnificent, the arancini completely blew us away, the pizza was incredible and the mozzarella was unbelievably delicious. What I also loved is that the pizza and pasta felt very light. Some places leave you feeling heavy after eating pizza or pasta, but here everything felt fresh, balanced and absolutely wonderful. We are already planning to return soon to continue our experience and finally try the octopus because when it was served to the table next to us I instantly realized that I absolutely have to try it next time. We are very grateful for the wonderful service. The waitresses were lovely, kind, attentive and incredibly welcoming. We will definitely return soon to celebrate our little special occasion and we are so happy that we discovered such a beautiful hidden gem not far from our home. This place has officially become another precious hidden treasure in our collection of amazing food spots. Thank you, guys❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Lovely place with very friendly staff and delicious food! Highly recommend.
excellent pizza apps and pasta
Pizza was very good. Dough & texture are close enough to Napoli style. However the prosciutto pizza hardly had any real prosciutto on it. It was shredded ham, which i had a difficult time to understand. You’re charging $25 for a small pizza that hardly costs anything. When you claim prosciutto you should use it. The fried calamari lacked seasoning and was bland. It’s a no brainer dish in most restaurants, just saying. Also it took the server sometime to bring it to our table while it was hot & crispy. Instead it was sitting at the kitchen counter for a good while. Basic 101. What bothers the most would be the resto lacked ventilation. The smell gets in the hair and clothes worse than a barbecue restaurant with no chimney. It’s a very cute dating spot but I guess after dinner not much will be happening because of the bad smell. Not sure how did this even pass building code. The restaurant tries to diminish this matter by using cold air conditioning and it’s 7 degree outside. The cold air was blowing right into my head. A change of wind direction was attempted to improve the situation but overall it was very unpleasant. Hopefully no one catches a cold tomorrow! I do think their pizza is worth coming back for but will be hesitant with the ventilation issue.
