Toro Rosso in Montreal

Very good and impeccable service!

Eat well for a very reasonable price very pleasant staff good service restaurant to recommend in Montreal

Very good service, excellent food I ate bizon hamburger, beef and salmon tartare, pizza and fries wow! Plus it accepts children, I was able to eat with my son and his dad for my birthday.

Food is tasty and the services are well done. HOWEVER, when given the machine to pay, the TIP INCLUDE THE TAXES (PST and GST) in the automatic %. This is a BAD practice (it explains my 4 stars) that restaurants follow. The food is tasty and the service is good.

Great restaurant! In a very good atmosphere. Good and hearty meal! And very friendly staff. Too bad we live in France, we would have come back more often...

Lovely local spot. Very authentic with pretty good food, especially considering the price.

Amazing food and amazing service! Highly recommended!

Friendly space where the chef and his associates (kitchen people, hosts and waiters) invite us to a feast.

Italian food en le village.

Nothing to complain about the service. Food not up to par for the price. The pizza was terrible

I had the fettuccine all pesto. Delicious.

In the heart of the Village, large, pleasant restaurant where we had dinner twice. Large selection of pastas, which you combine with the sauce you want. Otherwise, more classic dishes are offered

Good pasta accompanied by modest wines at reasonable prices. Unpretentious. Beautiful terrace on pedestrianized Ste-Catherine street in summer. Excellent service by Marco for many years.

It was delicious, not too expensive and the portions were generous. I recommend. I ordered the garlic snails au gratin and the fettucini papalina.

A village classic that s still just as good

I love this place, its never complicated and inexpensive - impeccable service

Great classic Italian food located in a lively part of Downtown Montreal

Not very much class

Formerly La Strega, same cook, decent food and fair prices.

You need to be there. Food is very tasty.the service is good Food

Serges service was extraordinary. Thank you for the beautiful evening and the good pizza.

Was looking for an easy but good place to have a meal before a friday 7pm theater show and this restaurant was a couple of blocs away. Online menu seemed good enough but limited to mostly pastas and pizzas. This is by no means a fancy place but honest and straightforward. Appears to have many regulars as staff seem to recognize customers as they walk in and I took that as a good sign. Atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. Service was good and very friendly. English wasnt bad either, as I switched between both and so did the waiter. Pizza was good, cannellonis were also good but could have been a tad warmer.

Love this place

Super good restaurant. Warm atmosphere.

The service is always welcoming...thank you

Very long wait for the meal but there were 3 groups. Good dish.

May 15/24 Another bar/restaurant owner above the law installing is effing patio pas 7pm. NO respect for the locals. Why would anyone spend money there. ________________________________ Super bad wateir still there. A good thing that many excellent restraurants all around. _______________________________ October 29th Still horrible ugly rude waiter. Sorry for the owner. September 13 SERGE the worst waiter in Montréal managing Toro Rosso. Rather have an empty patio than good trade. Should not work in hospitality, period. I just asked if I could have a desert and HE hung up the phone. That is how rude this person is. Been here way before that restaurant changed name and so on. _______________________________________ AND on Mondays. Not dealing with that. _____________________________________________ September 3rd 2023. Avoid this place on Sundays. If you want to be served by the worst waiter in the city, thats the place to go. If you seen an Old Bald angry man, yelling at customer that is the place you want to go. I was served the worst ever looking chocolate cake, it came in different pieces, his excuse was that it was the last bit of it available and expected to pay 7$ from that horrible waiter. Earlier today I went for breafast at Maggie Oakes at the Willan Gray, then went for bruch at Bistro Tendresse. Wonderful food and service. Then I went for a final outing for the day before going out again tomorrow as a tour guide. That ugly bald man yelling a me was the last straw. He should be fired on the spot. Why would anyone pay 7$ for a left over chocolate cake served with no love and looking so sad? The WIFI is not working so I asked to reset to no avail. The guy is a total moron, his excuse: he was the only waiter. Dont get me wrong I LOVE the restaurant, the food is great and get along with all the other waiter. __________________________________ The food is always great and homemade. CALL before. Actual opening hours are VERY different from advertised. Again tonight, they have been SO busy with a group, bla bla bla...All I wanted is a Black Forest desert (wich was a dry last time) and a double café brésilen. How hard is that, missing an EASY $40...But they do not care.

Le restaurant Toro Rosso est mon endroit de prédilection pour déguster un excellent repas, et ce dans une atmosphère détendue et feutrée. Le gérant-serveur Marco accueille chaleureusement la clientèle. La serveuse Andréa et les serveurs Serge et Leonardo sont sur la coche et sassurent toujours à ce que la clientèle soit satisfaite. Tous les quatre sont les meilleurs serveurs en ville.

excellent meal

Horrible service, food was average, I would not say this is a good Italian restaurant and if you think it is, then I think you re delusional. I will not be coming back. We waited over an hour for food because one of the pizzas in the group was burnt and then when the pizza came back .it was still burnt. Someone needs to tell the owner to clean up their act.

Tasty and affordable cuisine. Friendly staff. A sure value.

Probably the best pasta Ive had in my life. (Not just the pasta, I mean the whole dish)

I love this place very delicious food

I was there in November, but just now getting around to my review. This place was an embarrassment. I should have walked out and not paid for my meal. It was that bad. There were tiny bugs flying around. There were cobwebs on the lamps. The server was terrible. I was alone and didnt speak French. Im pretty sure that was a reason why he was so bothered. Most good waiters would ask where youre from, what you were in Montreal for, etc. Not this guy. Took my order, and that was it. And I havent even gotten to the food. Vile. I had pasta with a red sauce with garlic. It should have said half minced garlic and half tomato sauce. Absolutely the most disgusting Italian meal Ive ever had. How this place has four stars is an absolute shock. They must be paying people to write positive reviews. Parking: None

Good value for money

The service is excellent, the food delicious and the prices are very affordable! I highly recommend!!

Excellent food and super good service. A place to return without fail.

Had my Christmas party here I loved it. 100% recommend. Amazing food and service

Wonderful, very good food

It was a good experience.

Delicious food and great service: fast and attentive at the same time!

Price and food amazing. Great quality and so good.

I had reserved a table for 6 people (friends who came from far away) to whom I wanted to introduce this restaurant! Because my first experience was great! But this time we found ourselves stuck at a closed restaurant even though I had received an email confirming my reservation the same day???? Very unfortunate not to have been informed before handing in! It was the last time for me!

We are never disappointed with each visit Excellent food

Went there for a date-night. I ordered a bruschetta there, it came out literally after 5 mins after, which is not a good sign because i could tell that the vegetables were not fresh/prepared on the spot, and that they were precut and refrigerated, perhaps that morning or the day before. the bread was sliced of crispy baguette, that was so crunchy it breaks easily (not a good thing). I then ordered the pesto pasta with extra chicken, and oh god the sauce was basically made of some kind of oil (definitely not authentic/virgin olive oil) and herbs, no pine-nuts in sight (pesto is supposed to be bright green with a velvety texture and a buttery finish). Plus the pasta was overcooked, not aldente as it should be. Unfortunately, the chicken was not better either, it tasted bland like a boiled chicken seasoned with just salt. Now, I understand the prices are considered cheap, but this is way worse than any other cheap italian restaurants i have personally tried. The quality of ingredients to the price ratio is definitely not equal. Not worth it. Better off cooking at home. *** ALSO, the waiter asked us if we didn t like the food, and i expressed my opinion, and he didn t even apologize! or offer any discount or complementary dessert. So, even the experience and the human interaction was disappointing.

The servers are really nice and competent

Good wine, great pasta and huge portions!

You should update your schedule on the site. I moved for nothing.

Ceasar was too garlicky...chicken in mustard sauce was not subtil and too mustardy...tiramisu was good.

Thank you. Everything was amazing.

Je viens de commander les linguini à la gigi, extra asperges. Les pâtes sont arrivées chaudes, pas trop cuites (disons al dente version livraison) et délicieuses. Exactement ce que je voulais en plein milieu dun sevrage de glucides, cétait un compromis très satisfaisant. (meilleur pour la santé que biscuits, chocolats, viennoiseries, etc.)

Very very good cuisine

Its hearty and inexpensive dishes

Excellent service and their food; their margherita pizza and pasta (gigi, alfredo, ossobuco) was very delicious!

Very good value for money for pasta and pizza. Pleasantly surprised with the linguine marinara, friendly waiter, reasonably priced beer on tap, perfect before a show on Ste-Catherine. The pedestrian street and the almost total absence of car noise is quite a change and it improves the atmosphere of the street and the meal on the terrace. Next show, were going back!

We stopped here for a late dinner after arriving in Montreal. The food was soooo good! The prices were super reasonable and the pasta was perfect to eat on their outdoor patio. If there hasn t been so many other restaurants to try, we would have come back a second night!

Delicious Lasagna The service took long time.

Its very, very good, the atmosphere is pleasant, Ill go again for the seafood and Italian pasta

Excellent restaurant. Impeccable food quality. Excellent value for money. If you come back often, people will recognize you. I recommend without hesitation for a memorable experience at a good price.

The worst restaurant I ate at during my two-week stay in Canada. The food is horrible: overcooked pasta . In fact, according to the waiter, I should have specified when ordering that I wanted pasta cooked in Italian (since the restaurant defines itself as Italian)... Very long service, we had to wait an hour to be served and there were only around ten people seated. At the end, the cherry on the cake, the waiter, having realized that the food was bad and the service too long, accused us, after counting the money in front of us, of not having paid the minimum 15% for the service... . Well the guy hadnt done the math and continued to accuse us. After redoing the calculations in front of his eyes, he let us go. If you want to have a good time dont go to this restaurant.

Relaxed atmosphere conducive to conversation, super fast service and very good food. The prices are excellent and the choices are varied. We recommend!

Service is incredible! We felt very taken care of. I was not impressed by the gorgonzola et noix salad. The lettuce wasnt fresh. The seafood pizza was alright, and once our server brought over the peperoncino oil, it went VERY WELL together. I found the table placements to be very tight, to the point that a new patron was not able to get into the table behind ours, to the point we had to shift both. The place was not overly crowded though.

Went out with my 2 girl friends. Over all food was ok... Waiter was a little lost yet alone his arm pits were smelling terrible. Waited long for the food. Once we all paid, the waiter had the oddity to ask where his tip was, when we already had tipped.

I had a very good experience at Toro Roosso the food was good and a special thank you to my waiter Nabil who offered me good service and recommended their house specialty meal (ossobuco) and also the wine which go with it, I will definitely go back

Its like theyre keeping an Italian grandmother locked in the backseat as a hostage. Authentic and sublime. My little one (7 years old) ate an entire lasagna by herself.

Worst experience. Forced to fetch water yourself after waiting almost 1 hour and trying to call all the servers with no results. The taste... Ill let people judge for themselves but I dont plan to go back.

Always great service and the food is very good too, all for a low price! I recommend to everyone!

Amazing service and very friendly staff. Tasty food with realistic portions and wonderful flavors

Limited menu, unusual prices, very slow and impersonal service. I advise against it.

place was very nice food was fancy and service was fast

Great place and location!

I go there very often. Everything on the menu is excellent. They also have a daily menu with new dishes. Prices varied. The pasta portions are very generous.

I had garlic bread as a starter and red linguine vongole! I LOVED IT I WILL BE BACK!! I REALLY fell for the vongole sauce which was just PERFECT ! Besides, I paid almost nothing (not expensive at all)!! Thank you for the warm welcome

Amazing food!

Nice service and good cuisine at a very fair price

Restaurant with reasonable prices. Good quantity, typical Italian restaurant, good food. The service was OK, we got what we asked for, but no recurring check up from the server if we were missing something. Relaxed, family atmosphere.

Alright. Good service

Good meal, good price, good service

Good pasta restaurant....delicious and good service.

Very acidic, competent employee, fast and efficient customer service, courteous without worrying about government restrictions on COVID 19

Good meal excellent service

Excellent meal! Impeccable service!

Very good food, beautiful atmosphere, very lacking in terms of service, really a shame

Good price and big plates

Excellent service, affordable quality meals. I liked the spaghetti bolognese with spinach, a treat.

The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. Best sangria we had all week..(and we had a few).

The quality and freshness of fruits and vegetables and good prices there variety of cold meats spices pastries The employees are courteous and very hardworking

Unfortunately it loses some over the years. There are no more small bites upon arrival and no more discount coupons for next time.

Very good dish and price, average atmosphere nothing more, ice cold service. I add a star for cleanliness and speed.

Good service, good value for money.

Good food and decent service, well-appointed terrace although the tables are wobbly and mostly lean!

INCREDIBLE authentic Italian! Truly a gem of the city! Fabulously warm ambience with great service, for family or friends alike!

Love the Pasta Romanoff here.

I dont know how they have been able to maintain low prices compared to all other restaurants that have doubled their prices. Food is good, not fine cuisine but with a selection of dishes at 15-20$ per person its really good. That being said, I do love greasy cheese! The staff was exceedingly nice and fun and even helped us take group pictures outside. Went to a $200 per person restaurant the day before and had a bad time, vs a great time at Toro Rosso for a fraction of the price!

Very good value for money, courteous and professional service.

Food was ok but terrible service the waiter had no idea what he was selling on the menu no advice when we asked him for specifications. Terrible service from the older bald waiter.

Disappointing, sadly. Pasta - just terrible, so bland, it was so overdone, really just a big mess of melted butter and forever boiled dough. The salmon appetizer had barely any salmon. Not recommended for food.

Do not order food. Only water was good.

Pizza is amazing!! Great service too!

Very good, surprisingly low prices considering the portion and quality. Would definitely recommend!

We dine here often and usually have a good experience. But tonight we were so disappointed, because we got our meals after 4 groups, who ordered after we did, got theirs. After waiting 45mins, the reason given by the waiter was that my date ordered Coquille St. Jacques and I and the others ordered pasta. He told us to be reasonable. My date said if its on the menu, shouldnt your chef be organized enough to deal with synchronizing the pace of things. But the waiter insisted that it was our fault for ordering a dish that was made in the oven. I told him to stop with the bad excuses, then he suggested he could bring my order right away and get my dates later? Really?? Unbelievable!

Beautiful little restaurant with terrace in the Village. Very large selection of pastas, several choices of pizzas as well as a few other meals as well. We arrived late but still had excellent service. The server was very friendly and the food was excellent. The portions were also quite generous. Really a great discovery! Vegetarian options: Several options for vegetarians including a large selection of pastas

Well, we were ready, and then we waited and waited and waited and waited. We kind of noticed that we werent going to be served, so we got up and left. Dont bother. If you look English, they wont serve you. Well we were set, and then we waited and waited and waited and waited. We kind of noticed that we werent going to get served so we got up and left. Dont bother. If you look English theyre not going to deserve you.

The service was excellent. We ordered the Romanov and it was delicious. And the price was excellent.

Very good and affordable!

Perfect for dates! the food is perfect for all cultures and ethnicity! and the staff is so polite! i recommend to toursists and people who want a beautiful restaurant at low prices

Excellent service. I got a pizza, it was normal

Very good pasta and pizza, impeccable service and the happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. is just perfect

Delicious and impeccable service. I highly recommend it

Ask for Marco! Best server ever!!!! Impeccable service

0 stars This is simply disgusting. There were large, gelatinous, tough chunks in the pasta sauce. Heartbreaking, and the rest was so mushy that we barely ate anything. Everything tastes like nothing except cream. Honestly disgusting Loss of money and heartache in bonuses

The pasta is SOOOOO FLAVORFUL!! And they DONT skimp on portions. Only complaint- no garlic bread but on the plus side, its just empty carbs! ABSOLUTELY DELISH!!

Pizza was under whelming and my friend ordered the salmon and pasta. Pasta tasted like it was from a can.

Very good table. Affordable price. Very good service.

The confusing menu, is an omen to stay away. The portions are large but so bland I used half the table salt. I can forgive the food but the staff are rude and condescending. If I had a time machine I d have kept on walking, I don t but you should.

Not great food. The waiter a bit rude. I dont recommend it.

Good food at a great price and friendly atmosphere.

Good little place for a good meal

Best Italian food I have ever had !

Waited 45 minutes for a salad. Salad bland service very , very long. Never again.

The food was very yummy and the staff were nice, the menu has both French and English which was useful for those in our group who didnt speak French. Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp

Very slow and noisy service

A beautiful place! The food is absolutely amazing the service is quick, and the hospitality off the charts. An amazing experience every time I go! I would definitely take anyone who loves Italian food to this restaurant.

The lasagne is amazing

Beautiful atmosphere, very reasonable price and excellent food.

Good welcome and good service. The menus are nice and the price is not exorbitant. A small star for the Chicken & Mushrooms pizza which I loved and the starter with the snails au gratin. The price remains a little expensive for the wine. Thanks anyway !

We always eat well, I really liked the dish of Italian 3 pepper sausages with pasta.

Good restaurant near TVA, fast service

Authentic Italian food, Terrasse is nice during the summer months. Many choices for pasta and pizza. There is a happy hour, but I never went for it. Service is friendly and fast enough. Good place to have dinner with friends.

Very good pizza and glass of red wine.

We went on a night and it was completely packed and there was a very long line. We think like this: it can be a good restaurant . The other day we went early and managed to get a table, we ordered a bruschetta and the bread came looking like toast, then we ordered a pizza and pasta they both came with little sauce, there was almost nothing in the pizza and pasta. I was thinking about the smell of the restaurant the day before and I was disappointed with the food.

A very good restaurant. Simple Italian cuisine. A service that adapts to its customers.

On a road trip for a month and a half, the second restaurant of the trip to serve tasty dishes, real legs cooked well, real meats without sugar, with plate service, bread, good wine.

Great service excellent food

What a great discovery! Tasty dishes, great service, efficient, just wow!!

people are very boring

Thank you for the service and excellent food

Beautiful Good cheap!!! Its wow wow. THANKS.

Perfect food

Good pizzeria with affordable prices!

Very good

Superb pasta

Was surprisingly really nice, will definitely go there again

Super good restaurant, excellent pasta and the evening we went there, we had impeccable service.

Excellent value for money! Great service. Italian pasta and pizza restaurant. Some other table dhôte choices.

Delicious dishes, reasonable prices. Thank you for the quality of the food

Great food Great prices. Always a stop for us when were in Montreal

The pasta dishes are excellent, great value for money. Super good service. Homemade bruschetta and tiramisu, very good!

Yummy Pizza, great job.

Not authentic Italian food (I am Calabrese so I know). Prices were way too high for what tasted like frozen pizza from a grocery store. The Bruschetta could crack a tooth but hey, at least the waiter was nice. It was like being in a parody of Lady and the Tramp. I felt ashamed and embarassed bringing my boyfriend here. Please do better. A line from the movie Quo Vado? describes my feelings perfectly: NON CI SCRIVI IL NOME DITALIA IN VANO, VICHINGO, SEI UN VICHINGO!
