192 Bd Sainte-Rose, Laval, QC H7L 1L4, Canada
Set in an 1895 house, this refined white-tablecloth restaurant serves traditional Italian cuisine.
They played 15 Sinatra songs in a row. Like it or not, wrong idea. We saw the owner inside smoking a cigarette. Duh! Salad 0/5. Pasta 5/5.
Best Italian food I have had in Canada, can easily compete with food in Italy itself!
Hands down the best italian restaurant in Laval and the surroundings! Service and food are always 10/10. Bonus: Lovely house and terrace
By far the best meal in our 18 day Quebec adventure! Staff we incredible, food was incredible. I had a veal cutlet in a peppercorn sauce with fresh veggies, partner had an off-the-menu gluten and dairy-free cutlet with asparagus and lemon with some gluten-free noodles - both dishes we prepared and presented with professional care and tasted fantastic. We also enjoyed one of the best red wines we’re ever had, and we’ve had some good ones! This was a 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella classico by Lenotti, which was stunning! The wine list is extensive with lots to choose from regardless of budget. Highly recommend Amato - you don’t want to miss it!
Best seafood pasta I've had. The smoked salmon penne is so unique, creamy and rich. The Taormina pasta had a very generous portion of seafood of all konds and the sauce was delicious. Very calm and intimate ambiance.
A lovely restaurant with a nice terrace that I discovered yesterday!! In the front it looks like just a house, but the entrance is from the garden behind. Amazing terrace, cosy, with calm Italian music, à la chandelle!!! The food is tasty and delicious, i had cheese as appetizers with hot bread, Escalope for main entrance and sorbe for desert. Really so tasty. The waiters are so welcoming, smiling all the time and present always. It could be a great choice for Valentine day 💜
Amato is definitely a hidden Italian gem. A beautiful ambiance paired with tasty dishes, carefully prepared and lovely presentation. Their wine selection is incredible as well. Totally worth the drive all the way to Ste Rose. Have the burrata, if they offer it. Wonderful!
The restaurant is very cozy and romantic. The service and wine were great, and the food was amazing, especially the linguini del mare, the tiramisu and tartufo al cioccolato.
Everything is good in this restaurant. The quality of the dishes is unique. A visit is essential!
Amato menu prices are approximately 18% more expensive than La Vieille Banque restaurant (located around the corner) for the same fine cuisine and service. Compare them for yourself on their respective websites... or at other similar fine Italian cuisine restaurants in the area. Amato is undeniably a destination of choice if you want to pay the exorbitant price (with their choice of overpriced wines) in a beautiful setting... but there are still limits for me!
Beautiful, cozy restaurant with simply exquisite food. The food is all affordable for the quality that we have the chance to taste. It was a wonderful discovery for us, and we will definitely return.
I went there for a business dinner. We ate very well and were treated like royalty. What service and what good food. Highly recommended! Parking: There is parking behind the restaurant!
Super
Amazing!!!
This is my third visit to this restaurant in Sainte-Rose. I love the terrace which with its levels and decorations is intimate. This time I went with my father. We shared the Amato salad, a real delight, small leaves decorated with strawberries with an almond and honey crumble, balsamic vinaigrette and balsamic cream finish. For the main courses, we selected the fusilli with smoked salmon and the lemon veal escalope with crunchy vegetables and mashed potatoes without forgetting a glass of Pinot Grigio. For desserts we let ourselves be tempted by the homemade tiramisù and the chocolate tartufo, all accompanied by a cappuccino. There was also a small slate with three suggestions for the evening including gravlax, beef cheek, and Sicilian cod. I was able to practice my Italian with our server who was very attentive. Another plus, the large adjacent parking lot. Parking: Large parking lot adjacent to the restaurant.
This place is amazing, food is always great, awesome ambience.
Poor food quality and plate size
AMAZING RESTAURANT!!!!!!! The restaurant is super beautiful, the service is impeccable but the food is incredible!!! If you dont know what to try: I recommend the Pacherri with cream and truffle butter and the Key lime pie!!!
Very nice restaurant. A beautiful, enchanting terrace. Good gourmet food. A big thank you to Lisa who gave us good advice and excellent service.
For my part I find it very ordinary as food, however good choice of wine.
I was disappointed with the food and even though the service was impeccable, the was a group of people dining who were extremely noisy.
Food
One of the best Italian restaurants in Quebec
Unfortunately we were disappointed overall. No water service, a lot of waiting between the starter and the meal, the scallop starter contained 3 for $25 and the markup on the wine is excessive at 3x the SAQ price. My meal of veal with port and foie gras had a gelatinous texture and the pepper taste was predominant. However, this restaurant has the staff (really pleasant!), the location and the atmosphere (superb!) to succeed, it would just be a matter of adjusting the menu.
Family restaurant with a warm atmosphere and personalized service. The food is delicious with traditional Italian menu accommodating to customers. Personally, the most beautiful terrace in Laval!
I had dinner at Amato Ste-Rose during the week. I was very pleased with the entire restaurant. The service was fast and the waitresss explanations were clear and precise. The food was good and satisfying. The terrace is a very nice place to eat. Overall, I was satisfied, but nothing more. I was not impressed with the food (except the tuna tataki which was excellent). Not saying it was bad, but not exceptional. Maybe the price was a bit high overall.
The service is impeccable! The warm atmosphere!
Extraordinary cuisine. Impeccable service. Fantastic wine list!
Very ordinary Caesar salad, shrimp entree (3) for $24 ordinary, the spaghetti dish with smoked salmon and the salmon plate was good. All much too expensive. A beautiful place.
Amazing Food- experience and people very friendly!!
Always excellent, good suggestion, they adapt their dish according to your taste. Always in good spirits. Parking: Easy
Very good restaurant. The staff is very professional. Parking: Plenty of parking
Beautiful welcome, smiling, helpful and professional 5-star staff. Ancestral house with an intimate character. A 5-star menu, dish served hot. Well done! to the team We will be back!
Excellent good friendly service Highly recommended for head to head
Excellent!
Very warm, romantic, peaceful and the lamb shank to recommend!!
We were on the 2nd floor at the back. Warm atmosphere. Although the restaurant was full, we were able to chat without problem. Our pace was respected. Caesar salad and pasta: excellent and good portions. In prices for this type of restaurant. Only downside: a little crowded, I wondered how a quick evacuation would go. Parking: Parking at the back quickly filled. Kid-friendliness: Not designed for children.
Very good service, excellent food, had a very nice evening.
It took a long time to receive our dishes. Arrival at 8 p.m. and received our countries at 9:20 p.m. It was very good though.
Vegetarian options: There is fish (sea bass, salmon). Parking: At the back of the restaurant, 20 places are available
Excellent meal and very good service.
Delicious food, the lobster was tasty and the pasta was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant for its culinary experience and exceptional service! Small mention to the waiter who is quite cute Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free option for allergies and intolerances.
Very good, beautiful terrace, very pleasant as a place for a romantic dinner
A little gem in Ste Rose. The service was perfect. Unpretentious and well-executed Italian cuisine. An atmosphere will come to your home. Grazie per questa serata!
Very nice place good service nice atmosphere

First time and not the last Excellent At all levels Thank you Team
Very expensive, for ordinary people...
A very very nice discovery for us...restaurant and services more than perfect and the food is worthy of a 5 star...and what can we say about the terrace even in the rain it was magical...thank you and looking forward to going back and showing you the Amato restaurant has friends
Amazing food and great service
What a pleasant evening, I cant wait to repeat the experience! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is perfect (the oil lamps at the tables, what an extraordinary idea!) The place really has an incomparable charm and character. The staff is very kind and attentive, I really recommend this restaurant! We ate inside in the beautiful room, but they also have a great patio that I cant wait to try. Thank you for this lovely welcome!
Lovely welcome, lovely atmosphere, smiling staff who take care of their customers. What can I say about the dishes...Delicious!
Table for 7 people We received 6 of the 7 entries quickly, but the 7th with a good delay. Then we waited a very long time for the main dishes (around 45 minutes) only to be told that one of the dishes was not ready. After 10 minutes he arrives but the scallops are cold...(Ive been waiting for almost an hour) So back from the scallops to the kitchen, I had to eat alone since I had told the others to eat before their dishes cooled. For dessert, the birthday boys arrived almost 10 minutes after the others. The server offered no compensation for the inconvenience. Very disappointing. Restaurant to cross off the list.
The best Italian restaurant in Laval and surrounding areas
Amazing meal, desert and service!
Super nice evening at Amato! Very nice atmosphere, excellent food and very nice staff and owners! Restaurant that a friend introduced us to and I will go back!
Beautiful romantic atmosphere
A restaurant of that caliber should at least offer to take a womans coat and have it dragging on the back if the chair..and hey..what about some olives or brusccetta before ordering the primo..2 people..4 cocktails ..an expensive btl of wine and had to wait for bread with the starter...sorry..love this place but an amuse-gueule would have made it perfect.
Superb restaurant
Le meilleur des restaurants italiens :) une vrai bouf digne de la Toscane , vous allez vous sentir comme à la maison le serveur Dominico est tellement sympathique, si vous ne trouvez pas quelque chose sur le menu demandez-lui si c est possible que le chef vous prépare votre propre plat . L ambiance est dans une toute petite propriété ancestrale Quel charme .
Excellent food excellent service
Excellent service! Best Romanoff pasta in a long time. Lasagna for takeout made on site during dinner, thank you for the family dinner, it was delicious! Tomato sauce that surpasses all those we have tried!! Ill call back soon to order some...
Food was excellent but our waiter was horrible and left a sour impression on our night. Was nowhere to be seen all night. 9 month pregnant wife and not once did he come and check up on us. We had to ask the host for a glass of water and other beverages. Didn t even come bring us our bill or say bye. Really terrible experience. Spoke with host at the end of the night , hopefully he understood, if not, maybe my tip will have
Very good and great service!
Everything was exquisite, and courteous service, we enjoyed ourselves
More than good, we are without words
Woww great restaurant, unparalleled welcome and professionalism. Exquisite food.
Excellent
Great authentic italian food. Everything is so good. I love the outdoor terrace. Great selection of wine and some you cannot find elsewhere. We love to go back always
One of the best meals Ive had and the staff is really top top top
Very high quality food, the ingredients are fresh and it shows that everything is homemade. Caesar salad is simply the best! Courteous service. The most beautiful terrace on the North Shore which honors the character of Vieux Ste-Rose. I highly recommend!
The food is exceptional!! Very welcoming people!! The terrace is very pleasant with the fountain!! Thank you to the whole team for this great experience!! Were going to come back!!
We had our children s baptism at Amato. Dominic was a pleasure to deal with and the service was fantastic! The food was delicious as well! Thank you for making it a memorable experience for our family!
Cozy quiet spot. Great place to catch up with friends over delicious dinner and great bottle of wine.
An excellent place to celebrate special occasions. I had the lamb with prosciutto and figs having the idea of wanting to taste combinations out of the ordinary. Wow! It really didnt surprise me. Easily a recommended choice. The servers had a regular cadence for each part of the meal. Weve never waited a long time for anything! The food took as long as expected. We werent ordering hotdogs so only 5 minutes left lol Overall I would say that the place is the price and more, my wife chose well :)
Excellent service! Charming atmosphere! Excellent food!
Food wise it was very good but there wasnt much choice. Very expensive wine. Service-wise, it was very ordinary. $450 bill for two. I ate elsewhere for a lot less and left more satisfied.
Service and food were top notch!
Traditional classic...a sure value
Impeccable service by Brice.. WOW! The food was excellent too! We recommend 110%!!
Authentic Italian restaurant! I suspect the chef is Italian . The welcome was smiling and attentive. In fact, we found a table adapted to our needs. The service is courteous. Great atmosphere. The terrace is beautiful and full of flowers. However, it is not one of the most beautiful terraces in Quebec as the owners write on their website. But, that s the personality of the Italians! They like to exaggerate and brag . The food lived up to my expectations. To find out if I was in an authentic Italian restaurant, I tried the spaghetti aglio olio. Very successful and I will definitely return. The price was a little high, but acceptable: starter of scallops and green salad, main courses veal prociuoto (with spaghetti aglio olio) - figs, veal - asparagus, sea bass fillet, 3 appetizers, 2 glasses of wine and 2 desserts : mango sorbet and cheese mousse cake. All for $230 taxes included. I recommend this restaurant.
Beautiful Italian style terrace Succulent veal
Incredibly good restaurant! Typical Italian food of very good quality and very good taste. Amazing service with friendly and welcoming employees/owners. Beautiful warm atmosphere. I highly recommend it :)
The terrace is sublime, friendly waiters. In terms of the menu, for my part, its not a favorite. I had the penne romanoff, it was good but for my part, very simplistic. As a starter, a soup of the day, be zucchini at this time and I really enjoyed it. For the portions, its very generous, unfortunately I wasnt able to try the desserts! Very comprehensive wine list, nice selection.
One Wednesday evening, I wanted a pasta with tomato and garlic sauce and unfortunately, the tomato and basil sauce had no taste. The tomato was fresh but without garlic, in no way spicy. I put the dish back before eating it and asked to replace everything with a dish of pasta, garlic and oil. WORSE, THE PIECES OF GARLIC WERE CALCINATED on the plate... DISASTER!!! And, it was the owner who served me. I am very disappointed with this restaurant. We are far from the quality of SPAGUETTATA which had a storefront in Outremont on Laurier Ouest in the 90s and early 2000s. Dont go to Amato. Waste of money and taste!
Parking: Good off street parking.
Delicious
The dishes are delicious and customizable. The private wine cellar is surprising and delectable! The warm and enriching welcome!
It is a 5 star restaurant. Everything is perfect as far as I am concerned. Domenico will advise you well, guaranteed!
Welcome, atmosphere, menu, wines, service, friendly staff, tasty dishes, cooking, attentive, perfect. Suggestion: the table near the small kitchen should be abolished. Really worth discovering!! Beautiful terrace in summer!!
Incredible! Food, service, everything was awesome.!!
Director is very pleasant . Ill be back there to harvest my wine directly from vineyard.
the food here is good, was not disappointed at all even when it was delivery. Usually when delivered places dont make it as well, but this place did not lower their quality it was fantastic.
Great food! Great ambiance! And great staff!!!!
Great Italian cuisine with a cute terasse. My wife wife said she felt she was in a different country. I guess the Italian classic music playing also helped.
We really enjoyed our time. Excellent service and very delicious dish of arugula salad and salmon.
Very very delicious, excellent service and presentation of the plates. I liked the terrace pleasant atmosphere. Real Italian flavor. Thank you very much
Best ossobuco in town great job great service thank you for a great afternoon for my nieces communion 3/7/2021
Excellent food, very nice terrace, courteous service
Excellent restaurant. The outdoor space is beautiful and makes you feel completely disconnected from the city. The food is very tasty and fairly priced. The service is impeccable, and our waiter Massimo was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended!
Simply delicious!!!! Best place ever The wow service, a real gem.
I am giving 5 stars because we cant give anything higher. This place was amazing! The food was delicious and fresh. Their terrace was probably the most beautiful in montreal, maybe even in quebec.
Restaurant in a century-old house, with a beautiful, intimate rear terrace. For the meal it was good but quite expensive for what was on the plate.
Bad service, nothing else to say
user-friendly
Very good a bit expensive
Truly an exceptional restaurant from A to Z I enjoyed my experience!!!
Always pleasant, excellent service,
Wow delicious Italian meal. Youll feel like youre in Venice...
GOOD
Very very good, we were very well served, a lovely evening to start again.
Very nice experience,,,,,,, go live it!
Excellent !!!
Very disappointed with my experience. The 2 dishes we ordered were extremely disappointing. Pasta with half a casket of grape tomatoes and sprigs of rosemary and a boiled veal escalope. I do not recommend this restaurant.
Very nice atmosphere, excellent service and excellent Italian food! To return
Excellent service, warm decor and unparalleled Italian gastronomy
Restaurant with a very nice selection of prestigious Italian wines but very expensive, I ordered one of these $$$$$ bottles, however, the young waiter who showed me the bottle, asked me if it was well this bottle while letting me know that it was expensive....uncomfortable...Offering bottles of this category and from fairly old vintages, obviously goes in a decanter. No carafe, he serves and its over. ! I think the kid was the owners son. If you offer expensive bottles to your customers, you must serve them professionally and worthy of your wine cellar. Decent food.
Where to start? Easy...Go for it!!! You will not be disappointed...Excellent!!!
Very good service, worthy of the greatest tables. The owners are welcoming and warm. The dishes are prepared with respect for the products. Long live this restaurant.
December 2021 We had a small room upstairs for a Christmas dinner For an aperitif, a spritz and a negroni ($13 each) The wine bottles are very impressive, I read that they won awards for their cellarZ Our choice is Retro, an organic bottle from the Abruzzo region in Italy (excellent choice - $60) I had the pasta dish with vodka rosé sauce which was very good. My husband chose the holiday menu with salmon and beetroot gravlax Sea bass (correct dish) And dessert Good service
Excellent food at a good price.
For celiac / gluten free people not recommended for regular people good service
Great place, it was delicious, very warm welcome and impeccable service.
A rarity these days...away from the noise & crowds. A historical, small, quaint, warm place...Great food, experienced staff with service being personal & feeling like we were hiding somewhere in Europe, just for a few hours. Expensive wine you might say? They have their own wine cellar with choices you will not get at the SAQ. THANK YOU for a lovely and special evening. We are going back.
Restaurant located in a renovated period house....Very beautiful restaurant! High quality food...fine cuisine! Good service!
Great place, food and service top-notch and friendly atmosphere. We are regulars!
Sublime
One of the best Italian gourmet restaurants, and unparalleled service. I simply love
Excellent service, tasty Italian cuisine
Great, everything was perfect! Beautiful evening
The food was great, but service was long.... My fav dish is the shrimp risotto with marinara sauce!!!
Impeccable service, fresh, top quality food with a fine selection of wine.
Very good! And good selection of wine!
Impeccable service, incredible terrace. Their crepe suzette is delicious and prepared in front of us!
Beautiful place and excellent food, we are really NOT disappointed! A big wow!
Excellent meal served with style and accompanied by wise advice from the owner himself
Nice terrace, service a little long probably because of all the public health restrictions. Restriction respected by all employees. For the meal, the starters were very good, for the main course we had the veal escalope with foie gras and port sauce and black pepper, unfortunately the dish was very oily which left a greasy taste in the mouth. Very nice server.
So delicious.
My husband and I came on a Tuesday evening, with me craving pasta. The maître d suggested the joue de veau and it was, as my husband put it f...ing good. We polished our plates with an excellent bottle of wine and will definitely be back!!!
A very beautiful terrace, nothing more. The wine was overpriced and the food was ordinary for the price. We wont go back there. Good service.
Excellent Italian cuisine!!
Owners are amazing food to die for
We found our favorite little Italian restaurant! We go there every 2-3 weeks, we are never disappointed! The veal escalopette with foie gras is just sublime! The scallop starter too, they literally melt in your mouth. The pasta is fresh, the plates of pasta are more flat to look at but delicious. And we like the servers, all super nice :)
We havent visited this restaurant but are excited to go. We have ordered takeaway and Uber Eats several times and the food is excellent The dishes are hot and tasty Dont give up!
Heard of this restaurant by pure luck. Great food! Prices are fair.
Excellent menu, very nice wine list, decent service, nothing more
2nd experience.... A pure delight... The fresh catch of the day, a delectable presentation... It tastes like heaven.... I started my dinner with an excellent red Sangria...Mamamia!
New discovery and we were more than delighted. Warm atmosphere and impeccable service! For a lovely romantic evening and cuisine worthy of Italy I recommend 100%
Friendly service....he prepares Caesar salad in front of you..mega show to prepare Brazilian coffee..really cool..the terrace is so beautiful
Beautiful typical Italian atmosphere, especially the terrace. Service that takes its time between services. We will become regulars I think...
Excellent meal, friendly and I would even say outstanding service in a very pleasant atmosphere
Food,wine and service incredible
Very chic and pleasant atmosphere
Small restaurant with authentic cuisine and excellent service, I will return there
Food was excellent. Service was on point. Reason only 4 stars it was a bit pricey. 130$ for 2 people, no wine.
Good meal, pleasant staff
Good cuisine with homemade dishes. Reasonable price, courteous service and relaxing atmosphere.
Excellent service from the owner and he took good care of our group in the room and received the goods we celebrated with great secrecy :)
Bad service.. they were not honest with the bill.
