Horrible experience. Staff made fun of the way I said Italian dish names when I speak Italian fluently. Pretended that they couldn’t understand me asking about different dishes, said “that’s not how we say it here”and kept trying to correct me, then proceeded to mock the way I pronounced it by saying it back multiple times in a mocking way.

the service was genuinely excellent and made us feel very welcome. The truffle fries were absolutely amazing, and the meat lovers pizza was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The only downside was the margarita pizza, which felt a bit too plain. It was missing that classic touch no fresh basil, no parmigiana, and no olive oil drizzle. Because of that, I’d give it 4 stars instead of a full 5.

Unfortunately, our experience was really bad. I usually follow ratings and reviews through Google Maps. Once I saw the 4.8 rating for this restaurant, I immediately went there with my family, only to find really low-quality food (like reheated food) and terrible service (he took our order after 25 minutes of waiting). We asked for two small glasses of beer, and he brought two big ones. We asked for lasagna, and after 15 minutes he said there wasn’t any more lasagna. Immediately, I thought: Which Italian restaurant doesn’t have lasagna? Only ones that previously bought frozen lasagna instead of preparing it from scratch. That is my impression of this “Italian restaurant.”

Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations, both in terms of service and food availability. Regarding your comments on the wait time, order handling, and menu availability, we sincerely regret the inconvenience caused. I can assure you that our Lasagna is freshly made by our chefs and when something is no longer available, it is because it has been freshly made and served throughout the day, not because of the use of frozen products. We appreciate your visit and your comments, and we’re sorry that your experience didn’t meet your expectations overall.

Waited 45 mins for arancini that was beautifully presented but still cold in the middle, mozarella was still in one piece and also cold. We then waited another 40-45 minutes for chicken parmigiana and pesto spaghetti. Mind you, people around us came and went, other tables were served from entree to dessert, paid and left and we were still hanging around waiting for our food. We ordered arancini, chicken parmigiana and pizza. Arancini, as mentioned above, was cold in the middle, but nice and crunchy on the outside. The portion is pasta with the chicken parmigiana was less than 100g of spaghetti (literally like 12 strands, cracked in half) with a "pesto" that tasted only of butter with no actual flavour. Chicken was delicious though Pizza was hard like a rock. flavours were good though All in all we were here for around 2 hours while other patrons came in, ordered some of the same dishes as us were served and gone in half the time.

Although the waiter was friendly, the food tasted good but it wasn’t fresh, either frozen food or old ingredients, disappointing, oily and the fish tasted old and had a smell, it was an expensive dish , thinking with these prices the food should come fresh.

A true hidden gem that delivers on every level—flavour, service, and atmosphere. Tucked slightly off the main path, this spot is well worth seeking out. Service was standout: Sheldon managed the room seamlessly as a one-man host, bartender, and server, all while remaining attentive and welcoming. The food arrived at a comfortable pace and exceeded expectations. The penne featured a vibrant basil flavour with a perfectly crisp, gratinéed cheese topping. The meat lasagna was exceptional—rich, well-balanced, and cooked al dente (easily one of the best we’ve had). Even the burger, though slightly small, was prepared exactly to preference, and the fries were outstanding. The space is stylish yet relaxed, with thoughtful details like linen tablecloths and a cohesive, modern aesthetic. Pricing is very reasonable for a downtown location near Old Montreal. A small note for improvement: the washroom setup could be refined, as it felt a bit cramped and was missing soap during our visit. Overall, an easy recommendation for anyone looking for high-quality food and genuine service in a comfortable, unpretentious setting.

Arrived in Montréal, looking for a nice place to eat. Happened upon Osteria Schiavio in the Marriot hotel. What a gem. We sat at the bar and ordered pizza to go. So delicious. The draft beer was very good. When the pizza arrived, the aroma was out of the world, couldn't wait to get back to the hotel! Sheldon at the bar was entertaining. He was busy making different cocktails but had time to tell explain the ingredients. Heading back for a sit down dinner!

My husband and I went to this Italian restaurant after ice skating on Valentine’s Day, and it was such a great choice! The waitress was polite and very helpful. We ordered a Margherita pizza — super simple, but extremely delicious. We also had the penne alla vodka pasta, and it was sooo good! For dessert, we chose tiramisu, which was absolutely beyond amazing, and a pistachio cannoli. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly made. A great restaurant for a quiet date night 🤍✨

Not exaggerating: this is the best Italian food I've had in Montreal. Also, hats off to Christian for top-tier service on all already perfect meal. My girlfriend and I barely spoke because the food was so good. The Caesar salad dressing was incredible, the gnocchi (both texture and sauce) was flawless, and I greatly enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan. Last but not least, the pistachio canolis and tiramisu did not disappoint!

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re truly honored to hear that this was the best Italian food you’ve had in Montreal. That means a lot to our entire team at Osteria Schiavio. I’m especially happy you enjoyed the Caesar salad, the gnocchi, and the Chicken Parmesan and of course we can’t finish an Italian meal without pistachio cannoli and tiramisu! 🇮🇹✨ It was a pleasure taking care of you both. The fact that the food had you speechless is probably the best compliment we could receive! We can’t wait to welcome you and your girlfriend back for another perfect evening. Grazie mille 🙏

Schiavio is a nice restaurant located at 1000 De La Gauchetière. So far, the pesto pasta with chicken (Milano style) is owkey. The pistachio ice cream is very good. The sandwiches and pizza are fairly ordinary, but overall the experience is decent. The prices are reasonable considering the location.
