Good dish, bring your wine and a nice atmosphere. December 2024, return for Christmas party, beautiful menu, in addition to the gluten-free section. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free menu

All the staff are friendly and its always very good.

I loved it! Good food, excellent staff! Very inviting atmosphere. Dietary restrictions: We have family members who only eat gluten free. This place is great.

Delicious and fast service Dietary restrictions: Gluten free with a nice variety

Eating its i was rushed , still had the food in my mouth and goes removed by plate Makes no sense. Your reservation is at 530 and told us what we needed to leave before 8 For God sake its 630 What the rush

There were several of us but there were 4 of us and the starter of squid at $25 was exaggerated even the waiter told me who did not understand this price for the quantity we had 16mrx and not cooked enough for the meal the lasagna lacked spices, and the salmon lacked spices Too bad because many were disappointed with this restaurant..

There were several of us but there were 3 of us and the starter of squid at $25 was exaggerated even the waiter told me who did not understand this price for the quantity we had 16mrx and not cooked enough for the meal the lasagna lacked spices, the pizza was cold too but for my salmon tartare it was superb!!! Too bad because many were disappointed with this restaurant...for $160

Very nice big restaurant. Several meal choices. We just have to be careful about the choice we have to make. On the table with the menu a pasta choice card for $14.00 except if you wish to add other additional ingredients such as peppers, mushrooms etc. The price is not listed on this card that it will be added to the $14.00 for each ingredient. You say it when you present your addition.

Very good and reasonable price.

Pleasant experience, courteous service and delicious food.

Really good pasta

We had a very nice evening with a good meal and very good service from Xavier. I recommend it and we will definitely go back!

Great food , service questionable Bring your own wine Food

A beautiful Tuesday evening, courteous services, very comfortable benches, beautiful restaurant, very good soundproofing. As for the food, starter of squid very good, main plate leg of lamb and noodles and cheese gratin excellent, everything WAY TOO SALTY Ex 4000mg salt a plate. You really need to adjust the chefs salt. very clean toilet, beautiful view of the kitchen. A great team to succeed very well. Congratulations overall. Services lack of delicacy receive bill 123$ I deposit 3 bills of 50$ therefore 150$. The waiter asks me if thats really badass. The rule is to return the exchange point unless otherwise advised.

Great and reliable gluten-free menu A little noisy

We ate very well the choice is very good there is something for everyone everything was hot despite the fact that we were a group of 14 people and on a Saturday evening the restaurant was full the exceptional service I recommend this restaurant thank you to the team of cuisine and service you made our evening really very pleasant just the little detail we had 3 birthdays at the table I had just asked to signify it with a bingal fire or a candle and no need to sing but that was forgotten but seriously, no problem, I understand that this can happen, so see you soon above xx

Very big disappointment today. The service was very slow, yet there were not many customers (our table of 8 and two tables of 2). The squid wasnt cooked enough, we turned them over but that didnt change anything, for a $25 starter, I was hoping for much better. I have always recommended your restaurant, now I will abstain.

Ive been going there for over 10 years Always an impeccable team and service

BYOB Restaurant and Beer Varied menu Italian Very good Gluten Free menu Dietary restrictions: Excellent management of dietary restrictions and well marked on the menu Parking: Easy and accessible

Pizza oink oink is not good. No bacon on it. Luckily we had wine. 2nd time at this place and very disappointed. So much better in Laval!!!

Extremely long service....my plate of pasta was lukewarm.

Ottavio-St-Léonard waitress Jessica The extremely slow and disinterested service despite the few customers. The $14.00 dinner menu is a ripoff......$1.50 more to have shallots on my pasta......Well lets see..... When we mentioned that we hadnt had any bread....... we were told with a look of Well, you have to ask for it... We waited 15 minutes for a coffee pot.... One of the waitresses had long untied hair, which swept our table each time she passed...... We were served our plates while we had the last bite still in our mouths...... You are now ready to go to work at McDonalds. This restaurant was one of my favorites for dinner, but I dont think for all these reasons that I will return there......

Really enjoy their vegan options, their pizza is one of the best

Server asked us about allergies. We told her about our 9 year old sons egg allergy. We ordered appetizers including arancini, but they served us ones containing egg from the non-allergy menu and he became extremely ill. For a restaurant that claims to care about its customers allergies, this was pretty disappointing. Why did you bother asking about allergies in the first place? The arancini themselves were miniscule and soggy. The marinara tasted like it came out of a no-name brand jar. We didnt eat the rest of our meal because they made our son sick but it didnt look very inspiring. Dietary restrictions: Make sure you repeatedly ask the servers if what they are serving you or your family contains the allergens that they claim is not in their food. If they say it isnt, ask another server to be sure.

Food too salty

Delicious dinner with friends. We chose this place because they have several choices for people with allergies. The variety of choices and listening when necessary for modifications 5/5. Very pleasant and our server was very friendly. We had a lovely evening! Dietary restrictions: There are indications on the menu to say, for example, that the dish contains seafood

Its crazy to pay $30 for a pasta dish thats not so great and not al dente and its probably not good long-dried pasta, like Primo

The food always very good. Our waitress is prompt and takes great care of the customers assigned to her. We go there often

Impeccable food Service A1 Very friendly and smiling manager

Perfect for people who have food allergies. Great service

Perfect service, delicious mussels, impeccably clean restaurant. Unlimited mussels Monday and Tuesday, enjoy.

Very nice new menu, modern cuisine and excellent value for money. Good and efficient service Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan too Dietary restrictions: Menu adapted for allergies Parking: Plenty of parking for a restaurant on the island of Montreal Kid-friendliness: Childrens menu with several choices Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access entrance

Good ratio, quality/price

There were a lot of broken shells in my molds, as well as closed mussels. The sauce was way too salty.

I had dinner, it was good, but the building has signs of aging, a renovation is in order. Otherwise its okay

Alright ! We would appreciate even more choice Gluten free Dietary restrictions: Please Even more gluten-free choices

Very nice evening spent at this restaurant. I ate very well with my mushroom pasta, hot bread which was very popular. Great dessert with the donuts, youre not wrong! To top it all off, bring your own wine... Who doesnt like the opportunity to order more food while saving on wine at a restaurant? Go for it! Also interesting: Diverse offer for many allergies and dietary restrictions.

Very quiet place, tables well laid out, clean unfortunately the choice of the menu is not at all varied, not much choice in the dishes. lack of communication with the servers barely a very unpleasant greeting. the pizzas were barely edible, pasta or the frozen taste of the maxi tastes better. Above really because I have known the restaurant well for years. too bad for the reputation of a good Italian restaurant.

Good basic Italian cuisine, reasonably priced. The bring your own wine concept is great for budget sensitive outings. Plenty of available parting. All in all, a good dinning experience. Enjoy! Parking: No worries at this location Kid-friendliness: Family friendly

We had a great evening at Ottavios. The food was delicious! The new slate was excellent: the tuna tartare is a real delight, as are the veal escalopes! The desserts are amazing too! The service was second to none, the staff friendly and the atmosphere very warm. We will return there for sure! I recommend ++++ Kid-friendliness: High chairs and boosters available

We went there to celebrate a birthday. It was a first experience at this restaurant. This is a BYOB restaurant. The service is very fast and exceptional. I had the pasta with mushroom sauce and my partner had the Quebec veal with cream and mushroom sauce, both were excellent and the portions were generous. As a starter we had the fried squid. These were a little lacking in seasoning but cooked perfectly. The price is a little high for starters, but reasonable when you take into account that they dont sell alcohol.

Always good food and service. Prices have gone up like everywhere since Covid. The dinner ardoise was 39$+Taxes +tip includes soup or salad, main course, dinner and coffee. BYOB. Plenty of free parking, clean restrooms

Slow service and unattentive waiter

Great family evening! We were a group of 12 people and everything was perfect!!! THANKS!

WOW! Rare but Im at a loss for words! In short, absolutely divine, I loved the gigi sauce so much that I bought a liter of it for home. In terms of service, exceptional efficiency, the restaurant was full but no slowness or waiting

Nous etions 2 personnes sans réservation, l hôtesse est allé voir ,on voyait des tables libres, elle est revenue pour nous dire qu il n y avait pas de place ,même pas nous offrir si une table se libérait nous pouvions attendre , hôtesse qui a l air bête , probablememt que pour 2 personnes ce n était pas assez payant , il n en me reverront pas de sitôt .

Great the food is good and the staff very attentive to our needs

The food was delicious! The service was impeccable and the atmosphere pleasant. A small downside... the smell of household products at the end of the evening...

The food and the ambiance were good. The prices have enhanced a little bit too much. 25$ for fried calamary is too much I think!

Warm place, friendly staff. The menu needs refreshing. I have come to this restaurant several times but no change in the menu. Its a shame!

The service is bad!!! The waiters are very stupid, the waiters came to see us at our table to ask us when we were leaving even though we had barely stayed 1 hour. The crab cakes are not fresh nor the salad that came with them. I saw it again the next day. I do not advise!

I am giving it a 1 star due to their complete inflexibility. My mom wanted to celebrate her 75th birthday at Ottavio because of the reviews, being close to their home, and because of their vegan menu (which is a major plus) but the restaurant only takes reservations at 5:30pm or 8pm. My parents cannot eat after 8pm due to medication that they take and 5:30pm is too early due to other previous engagements of some guests. We asked to speak to a manager and the woman on the phone laughed saying that no one would help us and that many people ask for 6:30pm-7pm and that they dont do it. I understand that they are in their right to decide, and we can go to a different restaurant but my 75 year old mother was excited to go to Ottavio with her family (which 1 is vegan) to celebrate her special night and now we cant because of total inflexibility. I find this completely unacceptable. And we will not ever be going somewhere where the customer has no say and where there is no compassion or empathy.

Beautiful place Ottavio St-Léonard, good service, good food. I recommand it!

The meal was excellent, the service impeccable, the server friendly and smiling. Im going to go back

We had a reservation, we were placed at a table near the front door. We asked to be placed elsewhere because it was too cold. Impossible to place us elsewhere despite the places available in the restaurant. The young girl at reception didnt want to know anything about giving us another place... I asked again to change our place and I was told that I am not the only customer and thats what place assigned to us. We decided to leave. What sea service.....

Very good service, very good meal.

Good portions! Good qualities and pleasant atmosphere!!!

Nice place to eat

The food is ok

Fast and courteous service.

Very nice place, delicious, excellent service, only the entrance which is poorly located because when the door opens, a big cold draft, so choose a table far from the front door.

Good service. Excellent food. We were a group of 20. Everyone was delighted. I recommend

Xavier did an amazing job. Super friendly and attentive. The food was perfect.

Really sad to have received no accommodation to share my brother-in-laws cake even though the restaurant was already empty! The waiter left with his tip and for the cover!. Very ordinary they wanted to charge us $3 per person

Family visit on a Saturday evening at 8 p.m. / 12 people. We enjoyed our visit to this restaurant, fortunately we booked for the 8 p.m. service, we were able to stay until 11:30 p.m. The food was good, although my vegetable angel hair pastry was very ordinary. The fried squid was divine but at $24 its still a ripoff. And be careful, their website is not up to date on restaurant menu prices. Obviously since its a Bring your own wine the value of the dishes is generally $5-10 more than in a restaurant with alcohol. The atmosphere was friendly with large bench seats for our family. The discreet and discreet service as I like it. Another good point: no obligatory tipping for groups, thats nice. Its a restaurant to remember when you need an AVV in a large group, but I wouldnt come back as a couple, my taste buds didnt explode with joy

The pasta was not good. Tasteless.

We had to wait 40 minutes on a Tuesday evening before receiving our dishes after 6:30 and out of 4 people, 3 had lukewarm pizza... High price for little... Very disappointed.

For a rare gluten-free restaurant without cross-contamination, it is very good. A bit expensive but good and offers security for those with celiac disease Dietary restrictions: A diverse, 100% gluten-free menu. Although there is a regular menu, the dishes are red to identify gluten-free. Everything is done to be safe.

The oven pizza is excellent

Pay for little Wait for a while

5-years ago I said it was great now the service is extremely slow. The pasta I ordered arrived way undercooked and I know my pasta so do not tell me it is supposed to be like that when the pasta you bit it and it is still white inside it then it is undercooked. I arrived at 12:31 and was served this undercooked pasta at 1:10 so 39-minutes for a plate of horrible pasta. Ps never got my bread basket and I had to also ask twice for my coffee so service was not much better.

I love this relaxed place and beautiful atmosphere. The food is excellent and the waiters are very friendly.

Ive never been

Super well eaten. Bring your own wine. Vegan and gluten-free menu available. Only problem was that the waiter never came to serve water so you always had to ask for it. Vegetarian options: Vegan Sicilian pizza Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pizza and pasta

Service was very quick, the dishes were exactly as ordered and tasted great. Kid-friendliness: Comes with a kid menu that they can color. Food : 4/5 |

The duck linguini is really good!

We usually have excellent service. But I dont know what happened this evening (Monday April 24) The guy who served us wasnt great and ate it more than average. It wasnt worth $142

Lovely italian diner, fresh pasta and food. + Parmigiana à volonté on your pastas.

A little noisy for my taste, otherwise everything else was good.

Love the good and your staff...they deserve raises

Good. Courteous service

Good food, good service, The restaurant was full. Its always a good sign, but the atmosphere was uncomfortable, too much noise. Otherwise good experience.

Much loved. We will return with pleasure :)

INCREDIBLE new bistro concept! There is something for everyone. The cannoli starter must be tried! And what about the French toast, it s breathtaking! The grilled cheese with the 3 cheeses and the pieces of apple inside is delicious. We were a group of 4 and we all liked our 4 dishes. Well done!!

Small dinner (sweet, in my case) at Bistro by Ottavio! Excellent French toast and a flank steak for my partner! Ideal place for everyone, a clear and precise menu for all allergies or intolerances.

My partner and I ate at the new Weekend Bistro by Ottavio. The concept was number 1 as well as the service and the food. I highly recommend trying it to everyone.

We had brunch at Ottavio and tried the brand new bistro menu. We were delighted by the variety of the menu, both savory and sweet, and we all had meals that were as succulent as each other. Thank you for the excellent service and special attention!

The new Bistro menu is excellent, I took the brie starter to share, and the ham, brie cheese and apple pizza bread, all gluten-free! It was really good and as always the portions were generous enough that I took some home.. the children loved their waffles Good family restaurant Dietary restrictions: Gluten intolerant

As with every visit, a warm welcome with smiling staff in a modern and very comfortable decor. A very good restaurant as suitable for family as for meals with friends with the bring your own wine formula. The regular menu is excellent and the portions are very generous! Today we tasted the new bistro menu! Just wow! What a great menu to satisfy all tastes!

Amazing service and was very impressed of the new concept of the bistro!

Good place to have a good meal with a relaxed atmosphere.

Great service, very good food I recommend!

I was already a fan of the classic menu for dinning, but now, they added this brunch-ish/lunch menu during the weekend, which is amazing. Big portions, tasty. We were big fans of the pain perdu, waffles and cassoulet. As always with Ottavio, you can bring the leftovers home for another meal.

very nice bistro menu, food was excellent and staff was great

Very good service. We got serve by Sebastian. I must emphasize how kid friendly this restaurant is. From the service to the portions, we left there with a smile on all our faces and our bellies full. Good service is hard to find nowadays, well done Ottavio St-Leonard Cheers Kid-friendliness: Number one, made me want to be a kid again.

What a wonderful experience!!! The service, the food, everything was perfect the weekend Bistro menu what a delight! The poached eggs and grilled cheese were great!!! We will be back very soon to try the rest of the menu!!!

Super beautiful and new menu for brunch! Great service, great atmosphere and really good food. To try! Dietary restrictions: Can offer a suitable menu. Parking: Several places still available.

It s impossible to express the disappointment - bordering on rage - my party and I felt at this restaurant. If allocating negative stars were possible, this restaurant would get five of them. From the food poisoning (with all the symptoms!) that three people in our party experienced, to my daughter s ingesting gluten (she s severely allergic and we picked this restaurant as it touted its ability to cater to gluten-sensitive persons) vehemently denied by the manager (but no other plausible explanation offered) - to the clearly undercooked pasta. Pick your poison. Absolutely nothing positive out of this abysmal experience. There are too many great places to eat in Montreal for you to waste your time or money at this establishment. You ve been warned.

Exceptional meal and service

They are very considerate of allergies and celiacs. I definitely recommend them!

Excellent ! The bistro formula is great and the perfect menu for this time slot. Delicious cassoulet and French toast, not forgetting the cannoli starters to die for!

Great service and excellent food. In addition to the evening menu, I recently tried the weekend bistro menu. Really very, very good. With family and friends, I tasted several dishes that are worth the trip! The menu will please all tastes (sweet, savory, gluten-free). And what s more, we can bring our own wine and sparkling wine! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Long and poor service, rubbish... The waiter who doesnt care about the service... Have had to cancel the main course I live in St Leonard and unfortunately its not our first time and always a long and painful service compare as other ottavio

Nous y étions pour une fête, réservation pour 7 à 7 heures. La bouffe était bien, mais le service, on sest fait pousser pour finir. Lorsque jai mentionné quon y était pour une fête, le serveur a apporté un petit gâteau, pas de demande si le reste voulait un dessert, pas de thé ou de café, allez, il fallait sortir pour 9h. Je ny retournerais pas

Its a good place where the food is excellent! Also good service overall. A few hiccups, especially when it comes time to ask for a glass of water 4 times (I know thats not a restaurants priority). In addition, we were placed in a place between 2 tables in the entrance, while there is plenty of bench space at the back with no reservation...We asked because it was cold (February), but we Didnt have too much luck with our server.

Good food, the duck pasta is just delicious! Well done!

For the first time since opening I was very disappointed, I am gluten free (health) We were a group of five, for some it was the first time I had talked so much about good food and such good service Had to ask several times for water At the table there wasnt even a knife And so many little fruit flies without it was unpleasant The service they got the wrong plates and people, our neighbor had received my husbands plate and five minutes later they noticed it (unpleasant) My crème brûlée and full of water, the sugar not caramelized, everything was soft My friends all dress pizza the crust was soft as if forgotten on the counter Sorry, Im really disappointed and whats more we were right next to the SG kitchen the chef was making such a racket we all had to ask for even the coffee and the water for the herbal teas wasnt hot It was a bad experience So disappointed! Please answer me Johanne Vegetarian options: Gluten free

Amazing how safely they do Gluten free

Delicious food and excellent service. We got our food super quick, the staff was knowledgeable and everything was very well managed on a very busy day. The staff and manager really care about your experience and the pizza was sooo good! Dietary restrictions: So many options for vegan diets, and gluten free! The staff is also very knowledgable for people with food restrictions.

Very beautiful, this restaurant

Showing up on a Sunday morning really wanting to try the bistro menu and finding yourself in front of a closed restaurant Is the weekend bistro menu still valid?? Otherwise changing the opening hours would be good

The food was terrible for the price ,frozen food from the grocery store is better. I met client outside they will never be back , so Im I. A big disappointment rate -10

Very good I recommend. Congratulations for your gluten-free menu, gluten-free pasta with flavor

Always good

Extremely disrespectful and impatient manager who hangs up on me and is unwilling to answer the phone

Nice medium-sized restaurant, vegan friendly, simple and good Italian cuisine, generous portions with reasonable prices depending on the quality and service!

Poorly served by a certain Mila Merlos A Disrespectful Waitress this is my last time here

Excellent restaurant, I ate so much it was good and we never lack anything

Super good! Varied menu. Practical that it is a take your wine

The service is impeccable! The special attention to different allergies was great!

Great food ! Great taste ! Great portions ! The atmosphere is Great ! The staff is very knowledgeable and accomdating to your needs ! Thank You for a great dinner and service Food : 5/5

Excellent service and what can I say about the food. Free for children on Sunday. Excellent even after forgetting the reservation they accommodated us, Bravo

We went there for dinner for my fathers birthday. There were a lot of people and I must say it was very noisy, however the food was good and the service too. Parking: In a shopping center

Excellent although the service left something to be desired. I went there on a Friday between lunch and dinner, if we compare with the evening or weekend the service was quite ordinary. On the other hand, excellent meal, best crème brûlée in Montreal in my opinion

Very good service! Great welcome and food that lived up to our expectations!

Excellent service, a good atmosphere and really good and delicious food. There is quality in each dish, hence the fairly high prices ($20-30 for the majority). For my part I took the Americana pizza for $26 and it was delicious Vegetarian options: There is a vegetarian menu Dietary restrictions: In the menu we find gluten-free dishes and colored dots to indicate allergens in the dishes (milk, egg, seafood, etc.)

It s always a pleasure to go to Ottavio. Being celiac it s so nice not to have to worry about cross contamination. Everything is super safe. The best Caesar salad I have ever eaten! Also great customer service and after-sales service! I recommend!

Belle surprise de réaliser que leur menu offre une tonne de repas pour personnes aux prises avec différentes allergies/intolérances alimentaires (sans gluten, sans produits laitiers, etc)! Seule petite déception fut qu il n y avait pas d option de dessert sans produits laitiers. Néanmoins j étais très satisfaite de la pizza végane ! Bon service également. Merci!

Bad male waiter on Monday evening, no attention, extremely long service, fortunately the hostess was there to serve us

Oh my God what a feast, food, service. The place is sssooo clean, a must for everyone !!!! Hello went back on November 28 was so impressed with our waiter GEORGE he took so good care of our group, he made us feel like we were at home, his patience and devotion were remarkable

We celebrated a close friend s birthday and chose this restaurant as it s a bring a your own wine . The ambiance was extremely inviting and friendly but mostly complimented by the great staff receiving us . The service and friendliness was definitely noted . I was quite impressed by our waiter whose name is George. He had a wonderful demeanor and going above and beyond to assist us on this special occasion was extremely well appreciated . Thank you and we will definitely see you again !

A very good restaurant and gluten-free too

Delicious! I had the braised lamb shank! Yummm...

Ive been going here for the past 10 years. I just LOVE this restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious, the staff is friendly and always around when you need them (and its BYOW)!

Excellent Bring your own wine restaurant. Serious accommodation protocol for allergies. We like to go there as much for the regular evening menu as for the lunch menu where we choose pastas, sauces etc... Perfectly cooked pasta (Al dente). I am removing one (1) star but if it were possible it would only be 1/2 star less. I dont know if its just us but if there are say 2, 3 or 4 of us, there is often one of the dishes that takes a little time to arrive, which means that those who have been served are also waiting for the last one. plate before starting. For us, serving the entire table (a reasonable number...) at the same time seems to us a basic principle in catering, even if it means leaving the other dishes under the stove until the last one is ready.

Service in plastic glasses, they put the ice bucket next to the bottle of wine, they didnt even bother to place it in. Regular food. Its not a good restaurant experience, I dont think Ill go back!

Too expensive for 5 forks of pasta and 4 tablespoons of sauce.

Super place

One of the rare places with good prices. BYOW everyone loves that (SAQ 2mins away). We show up without reservations and they always find us a place. Great alergy option. Manager should inspect and repair damaged booths/furniture as dose not help the brand.
