This is the best restaurant I have been in Montreal. The Food is fresh. The meat is juicy, well baked, and soft. The tomato with cheese tasted perfect, not to salty and not to watery. The pizza is invested real good. They added good amount of great taste of cheese. The sauce of the pizza is like a real Italian taste. The service is friendly and kind. The music is amazing the voice of the singers has a wonderful voice. I recommend going to this restaurant.

Food smelled terrible. I thought the waiter had terrible B.O., but then realized it was the food. Couldn't eat it. Menu on restaurant's site shows many dishes that are not available in restaurant. No pasta, no pizza, one choice of fish (frozen salmon), ONLY terrible Russian food.

Good restaurant with Russian specialties. Share some of their dishes and you can taste a big variety of meat, fish and cold or hot cuts. Portions are big. Live music as well is a nice touch on Saturday nights. It can get very loud/messy if people start dancing. We are taking real Moldavian / Russian style dancing.

My wife and I dined at what we consider a gem of a restaurant this week. Trattoria Cinecitta is located near the corner of Decarie and Isabella on the west side. There is also free parking at the rear of the restaurant off Isabella. This is a family owned establishment with great food and service. Bruschetta and hot rolls are served before you order. The menu has a lot to choose from, and there are also daily specials available. My wife had the grilled Dore and I ordered the Basa fish . Both dishes were generously portioned, artistically plated, and delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.

Great place to celebrate/get together for 30+, here are their highlights: - live and dance music - delicious food - pleasant variety and quantity of food within their banquet menu - dedicated kid s play area is priceless especially when it gets loud during dancing time - it is loud in a good way for people to dance after their dinner We had a reservation earlier in the evening to enjoy a dinner with friends, listened to violinist with classic music that evolved into club environment Highly recommended for celebrations!

I ordered seafood linguine. It wasnt linguine. It came with calamari (gross), a mini octopus (gross), 1 scallop, muscles, and shrimp. The shrimp was really overcooked. We were told that it was just shrimp, muscles, and scallop. The server was extremely friendly though. I felt bad telling him about how bad the food was.

Its a restaurant for people who come from the former USSR. Post-Soviet cuisine and disco. The atmosphere is very good.

In terms of cleanliness, menu and violin music, its a 4.5. The musical repertoire needs to be redone! The restaurant would gain more customers with an update of the song choices. Beautiful voices, lack of diversity!

Hello everyone! Guys, we never write good reviews, but this is actually my first time writing... Let this exception be the factor that will help us all appreciate a good attitude and repay good for good! Yesterday, we were in Sineste again with Lily and Edik... I would like to say a huge thank you for the warmth and cordiality with which we were received (and not only us, but all those who were allowed to receive in this small but very cozy restaurant due to corona restrictions)! As usual, everything was at the highest level!!! Food (yummy!), service, music!!! And most importantly, personal participation in communication with each client!!! To say I recommend is to say nothing!!! I admire the professionalism, patience and ability to give holidays to people!!! Lilya, Edik, Nicole, Yuval, thank you for making us happy with your skill and kindness! Thank you for the family warmth at every holiday (and I have nothing to do with your family, nor, unfortunately, with your friends!!!)!!! And now an appeal to the owners of the restaurant... Guys, you are great!!! Thank you for giving us joy despite any difficulties!!! And if you get even the smallest piece of the happiness that you give us, everything will be fine!!! Once again, THANK YOU!!! Patience and good luck!

Unique place for a night out. Weve been a few times and recently organized a special event there that went very well, with plenty of food, beautifully presented, attentive service, live music and a festive decor that they arranged according to our preference. A very memorable night and the price quite reasonable. Also, the restaurant is very clean and they did not run out of anything. Great for weddings, Christmas parties, Birthdays, etc. They serve authentic Eastern European specialties and a few Italian dishes, grilled fish, lamb, kebabs, stuffed chicken leg (all very good).. have karaoke nights, and excellent live music Saturday evenings from 7 or 8 pm. Best to reserve ahead. The food is house-made, numerous starters that are fun to share, accompanied by drinks, good selection of cocktails, wines, vodkas, etc. The setting is pleasant and comfortable, dim lighting, warm ambiance, a terrace in the back - open in summer, and free parking behind the restaurant.

Dont be fooled by the Italian name... This is a Russian restaurant! I had some pretty authentic Russian food with a great party atmosphere. They are only open on weekends and have a dance floor and DJ booth playing (mainly) Russian music. The server, Katya, was fantastic. She made great recommendations and was incredibly friendly. I would prefer if they had a wider selection of Russian food, but what I had was tasty and filling!

Visited with family on Friday evening We celebrated my mothers anniversary. We got a lot of pleasure from the food, music and atmosphere. The holiday was a success. Thanks to the Cinecittà restaurant for giving people such a vivid experience, we will definitely return. The service is excellent, the farms are very pleasant and there are no words for the violinist s show!!!

there is nothing italian, its 100% russian: menu, music and owners. Music is good, but the food is too bad, so returned home hungry.

Ive been to this restaurant before. I really remember the perfectly cooked meat. I wanted to visit this place again. I would like to thank the chef who met my expectations. You can feel the hand of a master in every dish. The meat, served on a hot plate with boiled vegetables, turned out to be very tender, juicy and appetizing. There was a choice of salads and potatoes in addition to the main course. I also liked the assorted coffee and dessert presented as an original work. I would also like to note the work of the waiters. The service was good. I would recommend this place to friends as it is romantic, and you can also spend time with friends in the company and celebrate anniversaries and birthdays!

The first and I hope the last time I visited this strange place, the tablecloths are not washed after each client, under the tablecloth there was someone s used chewing gum, they gave warm bread but there was hair, the glasses were dirty with stains, if you say that you are a restaurant then the level should be appropriate . The food was bland, the shrimp did not smell pleasant. There is a menu, it s also dirty, everything is somehow shabby, shabby, like a diner. The fact that not everything is on the menu. Horrible in general.
