The food was amazing. It brought back my childhood memories of my Nona’s cooking. The staff was very nice. I live a few hours away but will def go back for that authentic Italian touch of love in the food. Big thanks to all the staff for greeting us so well.
We were a group, and the waiter seemed in a hurry to serve us the water and wine our boss had purchased, without even asking if we wanted cocktails. He never offered us the drinks menu. As soon as we finished eating, he rushed to clear the plates and the bread, without checking if we wanted to continue enjoying our meal.
What you ask for is what you get. Tonight we had calamari as an entree and seafood paroadella pasta. Yummy 😋! Gluten free and so good. And you don't notice it's gluten free that how good it is. Having allergies is not ideal when going out for dinner or lunch. This is pretty much the best as far as gluten free goes. They don't have a 💯 gluten free kitchen however they know how to take care of you.
My family and I loooved this place. The server was nice and kind, we spoke a bit of Spanish and Italian during the meal which was fun (to me at least). Bread was warm and delicious, salad was good too, and the main dishes were amazing. We got the lasagna, the spaghetti frutti di mare, and ossobuco pasta. Everything was 1000/10, but our favorite was definitely the spaghetti frutti di mare. Again, the gentleman who took care of us was sooo nice, grazie mille!! Our favorite restaurant in Montreal so far
We celebrated our 25th anniversary at Restaurant Gallo Nero, and it was fantastic!! The ambiance was perfect for our special night, and the staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service. The food was superb, with standout dishes that showcased authentic Italian flavors. Highly recommend for a special occasion!
Food was absolutely wonderful and authentic Italian. Our waiter was funny and engaging. The owner came to our table and interacted with us. All around great evening.
I'll start with the pros. Good food, polite and friendly staff, and the single person washrooms are clean with modern touchless soap and paper dispensers. There's live music but with a catch. Which brings me to my cons. The live music is incredibly loud. You're not gonna be able to have a casual conversation here without having to yell. But if you're a lively person and live for that, you may not mind. The service, albeit professional and courteous, was quite slow. But they were a full house when we went. And even at that, the food didn't seem to suffer. We'd be more than happy to come back and try something new on the menu. Prices for pasta are between $20-$25
Excellent food and service. We were treated like a family. They have a live one man band which is very cool. Lots of parking right in front if you get there before 7. The area gets really busy later in the day. Specially on weekends. Will go there again.
Very slow service Waiter never asked us if we wanted drinks or cocktails Portions were very small. Food : 1/5
My favorite italian restaurant in Montreal. The owner and his son are super nice and the food is fantastic, as i would eat it in my home country
Great place for Italien food
Like a family celebration, well-filled plate and staff with unparalleled customer service. Possibility of having a singer during dinner who creates a nice atmosphere.
Best Italian restaurant in Montreal. Only restaurant my Nonno and Nonna go to so you know it s good. Been going for special occasions longer than I can remember. Recommend to anyone willing to make the trip to the east end. Easy to get to with public transit (Cadillac metro and 32 or 132 bus to corner of Jarry and Lacordaire). Staff is very friendly and welcoming. 5 stars across the board.
Fantastic place with fantastic people!
Parmigiana chicken was average at best. Cold pizza as entree was great. Sad they dont offer traditional pizza as main.
Super friendly team. Food was good.
Best service and best food out there! 10/10
Thoroughly enjoyed my first experience here. I will certainly return. Very big compliments to a very friendly, professional and efficient staff. My only disappointment, the veal special was on the salty side. However, the salad and dessert were divine. Alla prossima Volta!:)
Had my daughters Confirmation party last night, everything was perfect! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was amazing and the service also top notch. Would definately recommend
Always so happy to come to Gallo Nero! We have many family events here and we are always so pleased with the service, and the food is divine. Everyone makes you feel at home. Thank you!
Excellent Tortellini a la Gigi!!! John excellent service, very friendly! I recommend.
The food was amazing, compliments to the chef. Our waiter was so polite and helpful and knowledgeable on the alcohol and food. It was a little pricey but worth it. The music was outstanding he had such a beautiful voice. Thank you
Best Party Ever at Gallo Nero! Absolute wonderful party with amazing co-workers! Great food, singing and dancing. Thank you Pino for the entertainment!
Awesome Traditional Italian food.
Every dishes impressed me! Good food with warm service Best italienne restaurant in Montreal!!!
Great evening, with a very good atmosphere and a good meal
Simple perfect service and food
Amazing
Great food and service, for my moms 90th birthday. Very pleased! Thank you.
What a great place for a birthday celebration! The food was phenomenal and we had a blast with Pino :)
Cant say enough great things about Gallo Nero! The food is absolutely delicious and the staff is delightful and work hard to make the experience a good one. Pino is such a great entertainer and made the whole evening so much fun and very memorable!
As much as you can travel the world and discover other customs, other foods, other realities there is no comparison when you enter an Italian restaurant (true Italian) ask for a dish off the menu and they will certainly answer you. You taste the meatballs and the taste takes you back to when you were a child and your grandmother (at seven in the morning) was preparing the sauce
Excellent food and service. We had an amazing time and owner treated us like family!
We were invited to a dinner here for a baptism. I have to admit every dish that was delivered for the meal was delicious! From the antipasto to the dessert was bursting with flavor. Everything was on point.
We arrived tired and hungry after a long road trip, but by the time we left, we felt like we were family. The hospitality was out of this world. The food was full of flavour, generously portioned, and tasted home made. The only problem we had was that we could not finish it all - I wish we could have eaten more! We will be back to visit again as soon as we can.
celebrated an aunts 90th bday. was fun to get the family together food and service were excellent highly recommend Food : 5/5 |
The food was tasty but the service was excellent. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. The singer was top notch!
Very bad experiences bad service and bad food it was not worth the price
Have been there several times,large group and small, always great food and atmosphere.
Owner Johny and the staff are all great They make you feel right at home with the service and dishes they provide!
Overall delicious, the Caesar salad and Tiramisu were delicious. Very good service, the waitresses were very friendly.
Great Italian family..very good place..
The food wasnt good and it took too long. Additional, they confused one order
We ate a tasteless carbonara.
The food and the atmosphere were truly wonderful with an incredible staff. Also would like to thank Pino for the great music and entertainment. Would definitely recommend and will be returning. Thank you!
Very familiar atmosphere..excellent attention
We went for a milestone family party. The food was excellent! Staff very accommodating and polite, went out of their way to make everything go smoothly. Singer was amazing, kept dance floor always full! Highly recommend this restaurant!! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian dishes available Dietary restrictions: Will abide to any dietary restrictions, just mention to the waiter Parking: Lots of parking across the street.
Funny background music. I had a stomach ache after the meal and one of the people we were with got sick. Parking: Parking available across the street
Last night went for supper with some friends from West Island, we enjoyed it so much, everything Was so great( food , music and the people were so great) I definitely will be going back, very soon!! Food
Excellent
First time Here and I had the linguini and Codfish outstanding service .
Excellent food, excellent service, friendliness and lots and lots of good humor... I invite you to try the buffet.... all typical dishes of good traditional Italian cuisine..
My first time there, the service was amazing. The DJ put some good music. Would go back, I recommend.
We ate well! Correct price ;)
Always very good, quality/quantity value for the price, very hard to beat. I love their pizzas and paninis
The food lately at Gallo Nero is of gastronomical excellence, yet keeping to its true authentic home style cuisine. Its simple high quality dishes are absolutely exquisite, I had the guanciale the other day and they were made to perfection, literally melted in your mouth and the braised meat wine sauce was the perfect combination to lap up the perfect morsels of caramelized meat, absolutely a divine dish. I hate to ramble on but the braciole are a must try, as well. The perfectly wrapped pieces of thinly cut veal scallopinis filled with an italian, garlic, parsley, parmiggiano bread crumb meat filling mixture were so perfectly blanketed by one of the best tomato sauces I have ever tried and I am very picky when it comes to tomato sugos. I keep bugging John, the owner, for the secret behind this delicious sauce that is so well balanced and not acidic as most tomato sauces I have tried in restaurants. Guess what, he wont tell me, he says its an old Baffone Ristorante recipe that will stay in the family forever! I guess it is locked up in some safe along with the Coca Cola recipe lol!! I would highly recommend an outing with friends at Gallo Nero, the great food along with the convivial atmosphere is a must try!!!
Great place great food great staff.Great owner very colorful guy .just a super place to go to .

One of my favourites. It s like being home. Excellent food . Superb service And most of all fantastic energy all around. God Bless Them All.
Food was amazing and the portions were decent! Definitely recommend stopping by and saying hello to John!
This is a nice Italian Restaurant reservation is recommended especially on weekends.There menus are very good I had a surf & turf and it was very good there s live music you can even dance if you want.Nice atmosphere friendly staff they explain anything about the menu.I will definitely return soon.
They have gluten-free pasta that comes from Italy . The owner is super friendly
When you see an Italian Ristorante full of Italians, you know somethings right about the place! This little gem of a spot offers excellent home cooked meals just like Mamma made while growing up, and developing a culinary palate. Very friendly (& funny) service...Frank & Tony are hilarious. Very reasonably priced with decent portions worthy of Italian home style dishes. Check it out...youll definitely return!
Authentic Italian food, a real pleasurable staff and try the veal!
Wow! What a great experience! I ate so well and it was delicious.
Good real Italian food
Great food, great ambiance and good live music.
Very bad customer service experience. We had a reservation that we did online i had the confirmation on my phone. They were full and told us they tried to call us ... which is completely false! They would of leave a message anyway if that was true. No excuses i am not coming back! We were a large group and for 2 birthdays.
Dont go there! If I could have put 0 I would have done so. We booked online, we had a reservation confirmation, but when we arrived we were told that booking online was not good! Really?!? If you dont know how to use the Internet, dont use it! The owner told us he tried to contact us which is completely false, no call or message from them. This is a total lack of respect for customers. Clin would have said we were the problem when we did what any normal person does! TO BOOK! In addition, the owner did not wear a mask, well done health standards. With all the restaurateurs who have had difficulties with the pandemic, go and encourage people who have respect for you and the profession. Dont go there period
Great service, great food, with an owner who makes you feel at home
An attentive welcome and very attentive service. The menu is delicious and the staff are lovely. A big THANK YOU to all of you!!!!
Not a big menu but everything you order is very good a real Italian restaurant Angela
Excellent food and very competitive price.
Great service, great food, excellent ambiance with singer!
Great Italian food
The waitresses and employees are fine but management have no respect for their clients as the just jammed people with tables less than two feet apart and oh ya the management had no masks on the whole time.

Absolutely fantastic great food great atmosphere and John and his staff are amazing would recommend it
Very good restaurant!
Wrong hrs of operations? It says its open until 12am. Not true
We found this place when staying nearby. Absolutely the best authentic Italian food, service and atmosphere I have found in Canada. (We have a place in Italy and a lot of the real deal experience.). Noisy patrons (Italians) with that joy of life, and the kind of food that leaves an amazing taste in your mouth! Service was perfect from all and especially the awesome Tony, who also went out of his way to give directions to a local car dealer. Very highly recommend!
Loved the food, Great place to have dinner with your love
John and Tony are the best hosts ever. Its like youre eating at home and being in a great environment. Definitely be back thanks guys
The food is very very excellent, very nice atmosphere, very chic, very welcoming staff
Excellent food great work
the place for rabbit
Really good Italian restaurant. Its perfect for a group dinner. Musician/singer on site occasionally. The music is too loud though. Warm atmosphere. Great selection of wine. The servers are very smiling. I highly recommend!
Very nice Italian trattoria resto with affordable prices, cozy, outstanding food also
Amazing place !
Food was amazing!
Good service delicious food warm welcome
Its still very good, but you need to make a reservation. If you dont make a reservation, it will be difficult to find a seat at night. I like their mango juice very much. The price is a little more expensive, but the environment is very good
Best Italian restaurant it feels just like home.
Amazing italian food! Cozy and the staff is very nice.
