We did a family dinner here for my birthday. We were 4 adults and my 3 kids ages 7,6 and 4. Loved the atmosphere in the restaurant, even when it was full it wasn't too loud. The server we had Max, was so great! Very personable and fast service. The food was delicious! We ordered appetizers and entrées, we were all very impressed with the portion sizes and the price. The restaurant was packed on a Tuesday, thay alone is a testament for how good it is. You need to make a reservation to ensure you have a table. Attached some pics, the penned was split between my daughter and I so those two bowls are actually one portion.
Reviews / Ratings for Vivaldi
Ever since chef Steve's videos started popping up on my YouTube shorts, I told myself I'd eat at Vivaldi the next time I was in Montréal. The food looked amazing on screen, and I wanted to experience it in person. One day the stars aligned when my friends and I did a Montréal day trip from Ottawa. The plan was, after a day of activities, to wrap up our trip by having dinner at Vivaldi before making the drive back. I need to make it known that this was one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant. From the food to the service, everything was incredible. Our waiter Max was attentive and on the ball with everything. His knowledge of the menu was high and his personality was friendly. We even had chef Steve come to our table. He chatted with us for a bit about the restaurant and the YouTube channel. Super friendly guy and a great interaction! (To be fair, this was outside the dinner rush when he had a chance to step away from cooking for a couple of minutes). I ordered the Linguine Amalfitana with a rosé sauce. And yes, it tasted as good as it looked. I'm definitely coming back the next time I'm in Montréal. Thank you for the lovely experience! It was one I won't forget.
I came into town from across the continent to visit my son, and to try Vivaldi after having watched Steve and Spiro's great recipe videos. It didn't disappoint! The garlic bread actually tasted of garlic, and with the Caesar salad (with romaine that was almost buttery), formed a perfect accompaniment to my seafood linguine in red sauce. Great mussels, scallops, shrimps and squid. Cooked perfectly, tender and not overcooked. Overall the meals were perfectly executed and came got to the table. Wait staff were friendly and helpful, which added to the dining experience. I'm looking forward to going back the next time I'm in town.
The meals just remind me of home food. So good!
This was my first time at this restaurant and I will definitely go back! I first saw Steve, the owner, on YouTube short videos making good and easy food and this is what made me want to check out Vivaldi. We also got a chance to meet Steve and he was very nice. Our waitress Jade was really nice. I loved my veal plate and my husband had a pizza and we were not disappointed! Delicious! The ambiance felt very homey. Thanks for a great evening!
We started watching Vivaldi's (Steve and Spiros) online reels/videos a few months ago and decided it was a place we must try one day. We drove all the way from Ottawa to Montreal and the place did not disappoint. The food and the service was great. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by Dave until we left and said goodbye to Steve in the parking lot. Even though they do not have kids meals the kids found plenty to eat and share. We will definitely return and anyone thinking about going, stop thinking immediately and just GO!!!
Best pizza in Montreal, every menu item will not disappoint...great restaurant.
Walked in on a Wednesday, the host was very unwelcoming, wanted a table for 1 person and I was denied service. From the moment I walked in, it felt like I was unwanted there.
10/10 service, food and atmosphere. Staff was amazing! Efficient, kind, attentive and smiling. Food was really really good and the vibes were great! Will definitely come eat here again Get the garlic bread with cheese, you won’t regret it!
Best seafood pasta and grilled octopus. Highly recommend.
BYOW Italian restaurant.
take out--- food is great, just one thing ..they did not put tiramisu instead they put bread as a substitute..dont know if they did that on purpose...
We ordered the fish and chips for take out.BRAVO....delicious .The smile that welcomed us....the care to have the order ready on time.. the quality of the food were all spot on .The tiramisu was the perfect ending to the meal.Thank you to the Vivaldi Team for giving us a wonderful Valentines experience.❤️
My girlfriend and I had visited Montreal for a short vacation, and Vivaldi was on my list to go to for quite some time. A while back, I had watched Chef Steve make hundreds of videos of his food, and I said we have to go there and check it out. As soon as we walked in, you could see how clean the entirety of the restaurant was and we were greeted with a warm welcome and smiles. The hostess asked if we were visiting from somewhere and I explained we were on vacation and how we heard about the restaurant. I further explained I wanted to come to Vivaldi because I really like what Chef Steve is doing in his videos. As we glossed over the menu, Chef Steve came over to our table and introduced himself. I was excited, as I have been a fan for quite some time, and we shared where we are from. I then explained it is difficult to find genuine hospitality in the United States (very few regular places I go to), and I am glad we made the stop to his restaurant. Our waiter was really nice as well. Very pleasant and gave solid recommendations. We had ordered the penne vodka and the fettuccine pollo con crema and both were incredible. To top it off, we ordered tiramisu. My experience overall was great. My girlfriend and I are foodies, and I can honestly say this is a place to go back to. The restaurant filled up really quickly after we arrive, and I am certain that you will also have a great time. To Chef Steve and the staff, thank you thank you thank you, for making our trip to Montreal to remember and we will most definitely be back when we return to Montreal!! P.S. check out at @SteveatVivaldi for the videos!
Great little treasure of the West-island !
If you want really good pasta and pizza well if you just want really good food, this is the best in town, the service and the food 5/5
The food is great, staff are very polite, overall a great place for a evening meal with friends and family
Great restaurant
By chance I discovered this gem of a restaurant on social media and to find out it’s in my old neighborhood. So I decided to bring my family to dinner and find out what it’s about. They didn’t disappoint my family and myself. From the appetizers through the main course and finally the awesome desserts. They didn’t fail us in anyway.
One of the best Italian places in the West Island, amazing service, the food is amazing, the restaurant it self tho isn't facinating.
My first time there, to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was told they have 2 seatings, but our reserved spot for about 18 was able to stay for most of the evening. I had table d'hôte of grilled salmon. Was very tasty and moist, all veggies were al dente just how I like it with rice. Entrees were shared and what I noticed with my meal, all entrees were all nice and hot, freshly made. My minestrone soup was tasty but could have been a bit hotter when served. But that's me...all in all I would return. I tried a bite of some chicken marsala (my friends order), very good. Our waiters kept the water glasses full and were very helpful. Good service. For our large group, all was served in a timely matter, no long waiting. No loud music, very busy spot, but all our conversations were heard and shared which was nice. We didn't have to yell back and forth to one another! Most of the guests looked happy while they ate !
Dined at Vivaldi New Years Eve and it was perfect. Minnestrone soup was tasty, the mussels marinara was plentiful. The veal marsala was tasty and fresh and the grilled salmon was seared and seasoned perfectly. Service was attentive without feeling rushed.
Great service and food. Great portions, for the price and its byob! A true gem in the West Island.
