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.
Reviews / Ratings for Osteria Schiavio
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!
We just happened upon this place and what a pleasant surprise! Vibes 10/10, we had the penne bolognese and meat lasagna which were both 10/10…service 10/10
Christian is amazing, good food a good service!
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!
Great service, great food
Music was PERFECT!!!!!
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.
J'adore la pizza! We had a lovely meal and the food was delicious. We would definitely return to try some of the other dishes!
Absolutely outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with authentic Italian charm. Every dish was a delight fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. We can’t wait to come back!
Delicious food & very good service
Sheldon’s the best!

Came here for lunch on our last day in mtl before our journey home to Toronto. The food is amazing and our waiter was lovely. We ordered the lasagna and penne bolognese gratin, we will definitely be back next time we’re in town!
The food is amazing, great place to come with a significant other.
