Perfectly located in the heart of Bois-Franc. La Piazza is a family owned Italian restaurant, ideal for dining with family and friends. It is also a great setting for hosting of all your corporate events with elegantly decorated rooms and a beautiful terrace overlooking acres of green space. Our chef’s specialty is Mediterranean food – from Pasta to Seafood, all dishes are prepared fresh with the herbs of the day. Come and enjoy the experience. We have a great selection of dishes, from fresh seafood to pizza and pasta, we have something to accommodate all your Mediterranean cravings. Whether you're planning a meeting, lunch or product launch. Together with Le Challenger, we have rooms perfect for all group sizes.
We really like La Piazza and go everytime we're in Montreal. The food is really good; we like the spaghetti with the meatballs arriving in a separate bowl to share but whenever we chose instead a meal on the Table d'hote, it as always been flavourful. The place is cozy and enjoyable with soft jazz in the background and the service is attentive and friendly. We'll be back soon!
I recently hosted a private event at La Piazza, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly attentive and accommodating, ensuring every detail was perfect. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the ideal setting for our gathering. The food was exceptional—beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The service throughout the event was seamless, with staff members always on hand to assist while remaining unobtrusive. I highly recommend La Piazza for any special occasion and will definitely be returning in the future!
I'm a regular here. Absolutely love this place. Never ordered something I didn't like. The steak is fantastic, the veal liver exquisite, the lasagna delicious, the ossobucco cooked to perfection, the lobster raviolis are just wow, the fish of the day served with black rice is light and refreshing...I mean take your pick. The desserts are good too although I believe that section of the menu could use a revamp. But overall, great place, every single time. And the service is impeccable.
Nice food, good prices. Waiters very helpful and kind.
I did a setup decoration for my client at La Piazza. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommended for your upcoming events!
My first time eating at this cute restaurant. I really like the rounded room. We had a reserved, private space for an event, and I suspect there is a second space behind closed doors. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The food was high quality - very tasty and portions were great. I would not hesitate to host an event here. Highly recommend!
Absolute gem of a restaurant nestled in the heart of Bois Franc. Beautiful decor, excellent service. Our waiter Danny was very attentive and intuitive to our needs. Food was delicious and most certainly returning 👍
This place is a hidden gem. Authentic Italian menu with prepared with home made approach. Everything is fresh and very tasty - tiramisu is my favourite here
Great experience, as always! Parking: Plenty of parking spots Wheelchair accessibility: Dining and bathroom facilities on same floor.
Excellent ravioli with proscuito, mushrooms and rosé sauce! Impeccable and very attentive service Buonnatal!
It was a great evening at the Piazza. The atmosphere, service and food are of high quality. Im already looking forward to the next evening. See you again soon.
Beautiful restaurant with beautiful food and service. A must go to!
Great friendly service, very welcoming staff. If you are looking for a nice place, with mostly classic Italian dishes, where you can relax , would recommend. Parking: Parking right next to the restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: Very small curb
Veal & pasta are delicious, Caesar salad toofried zucchini fabulous & Manager Billy & his staff provide excellent, friendly, courteous, professional service. Yesterday Once again service by Danny & Josef was outstanding. Thanks
Always a good experience
As usual excellent food at reasonable prices (a rarity in restaurants these days) . Our servers were friendly and efficient. Food was superb as usual. We ll be back soon
I really liked my dish, the service, the waiters mood and the general atmosphere.
Enjoyed my dinner in a simple, elegant dinning room. Food was fresh, tasty and served with genuine smiles and attention. No parking issues and no traffic to struggle through. I m defiantly going back! Parking: 2 free parking lots and plenty of street parking.
It is always a special experience to dine at La Plaza
Great every single time.
Amazing food, great atmosphere and fantastic service! Never disappointed! 5 stars all the way. Food

One of St-Laurent s best kept secrets!
Excellent service and such an exquisite meal.
A warm atmosphere, impeccable service and a high-quality stance. I look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for everything.
We recently had my wifes 55th birthday party at La Piazza. Everything was perfect. the food was excellent, the service was perfect and the atmosphere was amazing. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you very much to our waiter Stephano and the manager Billy for making this a wonderful evening to remember. I highly recommend this restaurant
I recently had my bridal shower at La Piazza and it was such a great experience! We were able to have the whole restaurant dedicated to my party which was great. The staff was available early enough so that we couldve set up our decorations. The wine, food, and service were all excellent! I highly recommend the braised beef as an option for the main meal. It was not only delicious but the portion size was very generous. Every guest had nothing but positive comments about the whole event. Ill definitely be coming back for future events!
Waouh, quel accueil! J avais réservé pour 12 personnes en avril 2024 pour un anniversaire. Ils ont eu la gentillesse de nous monter une belle table un peu à l écart pour plus d intimité. La cuisine était excellente et le serveur très sympathique. Merci à toute l équipe qui a fait en sorte que l événement soit un succès. C est certain que nous reviendrons bientôt!
Wonderful experience for our first time. Very attentive wait service. Food was all amazing. Desert was fantastic. Ambiance was lovely. Loved it and will be back.
From service to food quality, I am giving them 5 stars! Whether you dine for business or family reasons, you will enjoy the ambience and the food selection.
Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly!! Food
Unfortunately very disappointed with my first experience of my business dinner. At the start of the service everything was going very well, very good squid starters and the burrata good. Unfortunately, after that it quickly went bad, the frozen fish and chips and my regular pasta. The service has become very long, I understand that there is a shortage but waiting 20 minutes to check if the dessert is available is unacceptable. Arrival time 12:20 and exit 2 hours. Sorry but way too long
Beautiful bar. The ambiance and service was better than the food!
You really cant say anything bad about the food. Everything appears to be cooked with the patron in mind. Shouldnt it be that way?
My family and me have been enjoying this place since 2012 and we always go back time and time again for all our special occasions. (Birthday, baptism, communion, anniversary) the food and service are stellar and world class. Highly recommend
It was very good. The service is impeccable
Great food, friendly service, amazing atmosphere.
check it out, amazing food...
Excellent cuisine and attentive waiter, old-fashioned... Salad of the day, braised veal shank and dessert of the day (Tiramisu) excellent, lots of taste. Absolutely worth discovering.
Had my wedding ceremony and reception at La Piazza on Saturday and it was phenomenal! Joe and Danny were such a pleasure to work with and so easy going. The staff was outstanding the night of our wedding. Food was amazing! Got so many compliments on how good everything tasted. Would definitely recommend this venue, for any of your events. Thanks Joe!
Food was bland, presentation was nothing special. Pizza was hard to chew. Not enough waiters, and too many busboys. I got my water glass refilled 5 + times.
Celebrated our annual work Christmas Party. We had a blast! Food and service was great. Big shout out to Charlie the bartender. You made Mr Negroni s night!
Best pizza in the neighborhood
Great food and service!
We catered from La piazza for a kid s birthday party and it was a hit! We love to support local! Thank you Billy
Good food, good service. Best calamari Ive had so far. Good food, good service. The best calamari Ive had so far.
Very good restaurant. We have eaten there often for several years. This evening we just ordered 4 pizzas to take away. It was delicious. All of our guests made this comment. The service has always been very pleasant and the food has always been very good. Well done to the whole team.
Excellent menu and very good service
Love this restaurant. Great food and great service. Thank you Antonio.
Very good restaurant.
Great food large pizza is unbelievably great
Great food great service
Very good food and very courteous service although it was a little slow. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation!
Reading a bunch of negative and the only thing that I could think of is that these people dont know what good food is. This place was a very good experience, food wise and service wise. Everything from rhe gnocchi to that mouthwatering braised beef. Very highly recommended.
Good food
Always a fantastic vibe here. Try it, and keep coming back.
Excellent food and very well presented. Impeccable service. Today served by Antonio, pleasant and very professional.
Excellent place to eat Italian in Montreal. I was invited there on 6/8/2022. Unfortunately I didnt take a photo of the starters which were excellent. A kind of breaded and fried zucchini spaghetti as well as small fried squid. The pizza, pasta and escalopes are excellent and the plates are very generous. Add to that the friendliness of the owner and the waiters and you have a great time.
A very nice restaurant. Excellent service. A good choice on the table dhote. All orders were tasty though the calamari was chewy :( Fresh cannolli.
Tasty and fresh dishes, friendly and amazing service. Highly recommend
We did our daughters baptism at la piazza and we were so happy ! The food, the service and the place was out of this world ! Billy was amazing with us and met all of our expectations. I will for sure recommend this place to anyone that is organizing an event , you won t be disappointed! Thank you le challenger/la piazza for this amazing day ! <3
Daniel and colleagues gave our group excellent service many thanks
Super restaurant
On their website it says, A hidden gem in Bois Francs Theyre not kidding! We were there for our company Christmas dinner. From the antipasto and the hot, fluffy, toasty focaccia, to the salads delicious light dressing, to the best raviolis with mushrooms in a truffle sauce (good portion) that was out of this world to THE ABSOLUTE BEST TIRAMISU I HAVE E-V-E-R tasted....the food was outstanding! The restaurant was full, everyone was happy and our waiter had a great sense of humor! I recommend La Piazza 100%! You wont be disappointed.
Excellent restaurant! Best pizza in St-Laurent. The prosciutto pizza is perfect from A to Z. Our order always arrives impeccable and everything is still hot. In my top 3 restaurants this year!! I recommend 110%!
Truly a hidden bijoux. Impeccable food, and unparalleled service. Billy you are a star.
Great service, food is absolutely delicious !! COVID safe... A go to for your gatherings
Very good restaurant, I have nothing negative to say. Impeccable decor and magnificent service
Convenient online ordering process, they will call to confirm when the order is ready. Every dish I had so far has been delicious, great for Italian cuisine craving fix.
Delicious linguine pescatore and fried calamari. Friendly service, good wine selection, nice place, nice people. Definitely recommend
Great service and friendly staff. There pizza is just amazing!
Very good seafood pasta plate. Excellent value.
a divine delight
Really awesome service and food!
Tasty, filling Italian cuisine. Long-standing, friendly staff. A home away from home.
Great service, great food.
Supee tasty and a great vibe. Big recommend.
Great food, great service. Some of the best pasta I ever had.
LUV their pizza yummy yummy
Well done! In this period of pandemic, in addition to the courtesy and service, the pizza was excellent. I have never been to eat at this restaurant but I cant wait to go and try it. The menu is tempting and the owner inspires confidence. A real Italian! Grazie mille! - I just tasted the pizza with porcini mushrooms and truffles.... oh my God! It s divine! No pizza this good! Thank you so much!
Great service, great food!
The food was excellent. The service was a little long which gave us time to enjoy ourselves. We had a few cancelations and additions but they had no problem adjusting. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Amazing restaurant. Always best and quality food. Worth for every penny.
Good food and decor
Only got through the front door and turned back. The place was supposed to be open but it was creepily silent, I felt out of place immediately. Seems like its more of a place for business groups or something.
Delicious, tasty, warm, fine cuisine. Personalized service.
Very good food! Italian dishes and steaks. Nicely situated in the heart of the Bois-Francs in Ville St-Laurent right by Le Challenger golf course. A pleasant surprise.
Clean intimate setting. Average price .Wait staff attentive and all around great attitude. This is their strength. Food and presentation of dishes mediocre. The biggest disappointment : Menu items (although extensive on menu) not all available. Furthermore, wine list not updated ( several bottles not available although on list) . No reason to go back at this time or recommend with enthusiasm to anyone searching for Italian cuisine . Better options do exist out there.
Great food, excellent service, nice decor
Went for a business lunch recommended by a work colleague the place was very nice it s the old clubhouse of the challenger golf course (doesn t exist anymore) nevertheless the terrace has a nice view a new park Food was good but nothing special but good enough to come back I tried the linguine with matane shrimps (little ones) very flavourful and my client had the grilled salmon which he like Nice place will come back one evening
Residents of the Bois-Franc neighborhood in Saint-Laurent have the privilege of having an excellent restaurant just a few steps away that can turn into a slightly romantic moment.
Best food ever. Delivers and food is hot and delicious
Delicious seafood linguine and attentive waiters, to discover
Excellent as always.
It s that place that we regularly go to with the family. My parents love their seafood tagliatelle, while my favourite is the giant shrimp pasta, which I highly recommend for people with spicy taste. Their risotto is pretty good, but I think it lacks cheese inside. Their Fiore de latte appetizer was super good. Very clean place, staff is friendly and attentive. I live in bois franc and I am so happy that such a place exists there :)
It took 45 minutes to get just the soups and salads. 2 hours 25 minutes to finally get our main courses. Im not impressed at all.
Ive been there so many time , I went back because I like there food.
Great food slow service
Good food friendly staff
Place is super fancy and the food is ok
Very good excellent food
An excellent place to relax with friends The succulent meal
Great food, good service
Good food and service
The food here is absolutely amazing, worth every penny. Fast and quality service to compliment the dishes.
The best Italian pizza Ive ever had.
Amazing
Very comfortable atmosphere! The waiter Antonio amazing, professional, polite, and above all very charismatic person!! Food? Well presented! Done to perfection and love their menu! oh! Pricey? Not at all!!
Hosted my daughter s baptism here, and I cannot express what an impeccable experience it was! Passionate eaters will always say that a great celebration will always involve excellent service and quality food, and that s exactly what I received, as promised from Billy, the Manager there. (Thanks for keeping your promise.)
Good food, good service, good time
Fantastic pizza. Great decor and service.
Very nice and well appointed excellent food and super service
Good restaurant. The salmon tartare is excellent. Its a safe bet. The service is good. Reasonable price. The terrace is good. Its a quiet restaurant, not at all noisy. There is a childrens menu. No non-alcoholic beers.
Excellent food.
Best restaurants
The most amazing meal we have had in a very long time with reasonable pricing, great staff and beautiful ambiance - highly recommend - from Ottawa
Food was good. Price was ok considering the meal portion. Service was lacking finish. Would fit 10 people on a set of 3 tables on the (not full at all) terrace on a Tuesday night. Would spill wine everytime with got serve. Lots of option on the menu.
I was there for a wedding, and I had an amazing experience. Awesome food and staff.
Just ordered my first pizza and I have to say it was amazing! Cant wait to try everything else.
Good
Nice place and service, the food was excellent, fresh and tasty, all 35 guest had the same opinion.
This place is amazing with its menu and extensive drink choices! A reservation is highly recommended as they are always busy and large parties are accommodating. Our server was very helpful. I had the Stracciatella Soup (Egg Consumme), Boccncini Appetizer and the Field of Greens Salad that had more of an autumn flair. It is just a lovely place that can be romantic, fun, good for groups or upscale. Worth the visit, definitely!
Very unfortunate experience. Waited one hour and a half for a frozen pizza that tasted like cardboard. Terrible service and food
If I had the option to put zero star I would very disappointing experience food and service sucked overpriced for frozen pizza
These positive reviews are misleading. This is a terrible restaurant! Took over one hour and a half to receive our terrible food. Staff is rude, and food is bad.
My Spouse and I had the outstanding Salmon and Pasta from their lunch-time menu yesterday. This menu is available on Tuesday and Wednesdays as a senior special. It comes with soup of the day or salad, main course and coffee. We were served by ANTONIO and Staff who gave us excellent service always going the extra mile. This restaurant is a hidden gem. It is absolutely gorgeous inside! It is in the new area of Bois Franc in St. Laurent, not far from Place Vertu shopping center.
We just love going to La Piazza nice food, great atmosphere, impeccable service, and wish I could give more then 5 stars.
Always good food and good service
Great service I definitely recommend im very impressed
Nice looking place. Had high hopes based on reviews - tomatos tasteless and pasta tastes like something youd expect to have at a cage aux sports...gnocchi out of a can and tortellini dry. The pieces of lamb in between were decent though. Their meat might be good though?
Really disappointing! We went there based on the good reviews but very quickly realized that our meal wasnt going to be that great. For starters, we ordered the mozzarella di fiori, where the tomatoes were totally flavourless. For our main dishes, we ordered the gnocchi with lamb ragu and the tortellini in rosé sauce. The gnocchi was tough and rubbery like the kind you would buy from any run of the mill grocery store (although the pieces of lamb were pretty good, just lacked a bit of seasoning), and the tortellini was undercooked, slightly crunchy in the middle in some pieces, and tasted like the dried tortellini you just boil yourself at home. The entire meal was reminiscent of bad wedding food, or the kind of food you would get at an all-inclusive resort in Cuba - the general idea is there, but the execution is sorely lacking. The best part of this meal was the bread basket! Save yourself some money and buy a can of Chef Boyardee, itll be just as good if not better.
Quiet very good
A little pricey but worth it for good quality food with good service and nice ambiance.
Went to my nephews confirmation party here. The food was fantastic, although vegetarians / vegans wont find much selection here. Everything was simple and fresh and prepared as if it was a family dinner. The appetizers / entrées and pasta were highlights. Service was good, and staff is a little curt but efficient. Very kid-friendly and nice location. Only downside is that the bartender put soda and lemon in my negroni, but I wont dock a star for that.
Great service and good food
Excellent service, I had a pizza, well made and quality toppings. The soup of the day was also very well made. I recommend if you want good service and food that is worth the price paid.
My wife and I wanted to hold a reception for our daughter and fiancee. Question .. where?? We had selected a restaurant in Griffintown but someone suggested we look into La Piazza before committing. We had dined there on a few occasions and while we always enjoyed our meals, it never occurred to us to hold an event there. I asked around for some feedback and heard positive reviews. So we decided to check them out. Met with Billy, told him what were are requirements, eg , number of people, kind of crowd, and .. oh yes the budget. He came up with a complete plan, covered all our requests and then some .. thats what he does. We were impressed and decided to hold our event at La Piazza. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. The room was perfect. From the lighting to table setting .. right down to the placement of napkins. And the food was terrific ... From the hors doeurves, to the salads, to the main courses and desserts .. delicious! The pacing of the evening was great, the staff was really super .. and most importantly, the guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Could not ask for more. So whether it be for a party or a quiet meal for two ... La Piazza - Le Challenger is definitely worth your consideration.
The gnocchi with gorgonzola and walnuts are very good. The service is attentive.
Had a company Christmas party. Nothing special.
Very nice place. We had our boys baptism party there and we were very satisfied. Very good food and the staff is just amazing. Prices are not very high and the place looks very good. I would recomend. PS: try the grilled octopus.
Great service. Friendly staff. Beautiful location. And yet, when it comes to food, the main ingredient of a successful restaurant... what happened? The chicken soup with small al dente ravioli, ehh... tagliatelle meh... pizza of the day was not bad. My wife liked it.
Very nice and good food. Just a bit pricey but worth it for the quality.
Nice local restaurant with friendly staff. We love going there once in a while. Plenty of parking. The food is very good. Prices are a bit steep but not overpriced.
Top quality food and great staff. Worth the price.
Love it
