19 Rue Turgeon, Sainte-Thérèse, QC J7E 3H2, Canada
Italian chain restaurant serving risotto, pasta and wood-fired pizzas, plus fish and seafood dishes.
We recently celebrated our son’s baptism at Trattoria La Strada, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Weeks before the event, we met with the owner, who was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Together, we planned a custom fixed menu that fit our budget. The meal started with shared platters of pizza and charcuterie, followed by a pasta course, and then veal with vegetables. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. On the day of the event, the service was impeccable. Our private area was cozy and intimate, perfect for our group of 35 people. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring glasses were always full and attending to every detail. They even accommodated special requests, like steamed vegetables and softer, overcooked pasta for our son. We brought our own desserts, and the team surprised us by adding a complimentary fruit platter, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Overall, everything about Trattoria La Strada—from the food to the service to the personal touches—was exceptional. I highly recommend it for any celebration or special event!
Nice place, cozy & clean. Pretty busy when we came (Tuesday at 8:30pm). They have all pizzas for 15$ on Tuesdays. Pizzas were good but not exceptional.
Incredible food! Marco was such a great server. He took great care of me and my friend Sylvie.
Amazing food, amazing people, and always have the best service. Best restaurant to go and eat like a king
Amazing restaurant !! Food, service, ambience is 10/10. Would definitely reccomend if your looking for quality italian food. Never disappoints
We had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious , all staff was professional and atmosphere was very welcoming. We will certainly come back again!
How can you appreciate your meal if outside is hot, +30C , and their air conditioner does not work…you just want to leave the place as soon as possible
Magnificent outdoor patio with a five stars staff, our diner was really perfect and the food absolutely delicious. A must to try !
Very good and very friendly
The service is excellent, the young Italian is extra smiley and friendly, the food is good but nothing exceptional. On Tuesdays there is a deal on pizzas, its worth it. Otherwise, its a semi-affordable Italian restaurant, family style, but definitely more worth it than other more commercialized chains like Mikes or Pacini. Really better option than a spag with Classico sauce that you make at home, but much less elaborate than several other more upscale restaurants where there is concern for the final product. A good one in between.
1st time Ive been there and definitely not the last.
Perfect
Very nice, nice service, it s very cozy and there s an interesting choice of alcoholic drinks to accompany your meals! The portions are abundant for the price, share a single dish between two people if you are less greedy ;) The food itself? Excellent. I highly recommend it, it prepares and cooks like little nuggets of paradise and the menu is well stocked with options. For me the only weak point is probably not really related to the restaurant as such but I prefer to mention it. If you want to spend a more cozy evening, take a table less close to the terrace. I dont know if it was just the times I went but I have the impression that hot people are always talking loudly on the terrace. Also, shout out to that same server who always makes me feel judged because I try to pronounce the names of dishes correctly in Italian In short, excellent restaurant! I recommend 100%! Vegetarian options: Especially the pasta Parking: It s old Ste-Thérèse, pay attention to the parking signs and it s normal that it s crowded sometimes! :)
Best Italian Food Ive ever had
Worthy of the greatest Italian restaurants. The service was beyond excellent. The food, (ho my). I have rarely eaten so well. As my partner said; we are transported to Italy. . Thank you to the whole team for this amazing experience. We will come back very soon and with even more appetite.
Everything is excellent, meals, service, price, atmosphere, thanks to Marco who makes the experience even better
I went this evening with my mother and wow, I really fell in love with it!! The Caesar salad is delicious, the pizza is to die for and the chocolate rock cake is yum! The employees are welcoming, friendly and very efficient! I have rarely had exemplary service like this! Ill come back for sure :)
Back room lacks warm decor. It feels like were in an unfinished room. Otherwise everything is perfect
The service was excellent. The correct meal, nothing more. But the smell! When we arrived it was unpleasant and we couldnt figure out where it came from... a smell of sewage which seemed to be familiar because we saw a waiter walking around with a disinfectant... we left immediately after the meal without question. linger over a digestive or dessert. I would have liked to mention it and I should have but Im sure they know.
Very good we will return without fail, impeccable service
Excellent dishes. Impeccable welcome full of good humor. Great for kids.
The servers are very smiling, funny and welcoming, a small, clean and quiet place. The bread is very hard, its easy to change my income the same but the rest is very good
Marco and the staff the best
Excellent meal, Excellent service. A favorite
I adore.
We have been visiting this very good Italian restaurant in the heart of St-Thérèse for over 8 years. We discovered it when we moved and since then it has remained in our favorites. The cuisine is fresh and tasty with the table dhôte or otherwise an à la carte menu. A beautiful wine list and the desserts are delicious. In the kitchen, the Chef who is the owner is supported by a team of experienced servers who have been there for a long time. Personalized service in a typical Italian bistro restaurant atmosphere and the hot shots are very good to end the meal. Buon appetito!
Its no longer a vino wine...that being said...the quality of the food is impeccable...and a great welcome, efficient waiter...there were 4 of us
best restaurant I have ever been to eat!! very fast service very good service
Lovely little restaurant, we are always made to feel welcome and the Italian menu is always decadent.
I love this restaurant, exceptional service and the food is really good, thank you
Relentless service and tasty food and nice portion!
Great discovery, delicious cuisine, service according to Italian tradition. Not to be missed, thank you
The risotto was very disappointing, the fish ok. Much too expensive for the quality. Im not paying $40 to get frozen peas and soggy rice, it wasnt risotto. Sidekick bags make the best risottos
Everything was excellent. The value for money, the dishes, the atmosphere and the service like never before. Our server, Marco, was attentive, warm and efficient. No negative comments to make about this place. We will definitely return without hesitation.
Best restaurant in the north shore of Montreal. Very authentic home cooking. Pleasant staff. I always feel at home when I eat here. I recommend it to everyone who asks. The best of the best
We went to this restaurant for dinner because it has excellent reviews. There were 4 of us and we were all disappointed. We had a table next to the kitchens with the bar just next to it. The waiters kept passing us by. The loudspeaker right above our heads with the music way too loud in order to drown out the cries of a baby in this very small restaurant. Really disappointing food. Three of us really didnt like it. The fried squid had no breading and was rubbery. Lukewarm food. Only two choices of red wine and two choices of white wine. Very limiting. So, bad atmosphere, disappointing to poor food and high prices for what it is. There are so many good restaurants, we will encourage another one.
The pizzas are sublime. The risotto is excellent. The employees and the owner or manager are very friendly. I was with a group of 16. We were treated like royalty. I really recommend the place.
Awesome place, great staff friendly professional and funny. Food was above what I expected, absolutely excellent
Best authentic Italian food
I ordered the cheese manicotti and the waiter made a mistake and served me some with veal. Being a vegetarian, I didnt like the mistake, but it can happen. My partner was eating his dish, and the waiter brought me two manicotti, and told me that the other two would be ready soon. When he came later to tell me they were ready, I asked him to serve them to me to bring. It was only when I got home that I noticed that there was only one manicotti. I found this gesture stingy, and although I might have gone back, its certain that I wouldnt. At the price we pay for dining out, I felt cheated.
First visit which will certainly not be the last to this restaurant. We were served by Ziane who was really superb. His energy and his smile in addition to the good food helped to make our evening very pleasant. Thank you for your great service Ziane
Lasagna ordered by phone, for 8 people $137 tax included. Italian?? Not at all, you made me a lasagna for 6. We are of Argentinian and Italian origin and this restaurant was recommended to us. Quality, price and portions: anything! We got screwed! More pasta than anything else, the exaggerated price and the 2 portions we are still looking for them. Too bad because it was for December 24 and we didnt have time to cook because of work. Never home again. The good comments here show that they have never eaten real Italian!
Excellent dishes
Great spot in St Therese
Great little restaurant. A must if you pass by
Very good!!
Fast service, excellent food. I recommend this restaurant to everyone!
Very good Excellent service
Wow, the service is impeccable and the dishes divine!!
Excellent service and meal, my favorite Italian restaurant in the region.
Superb place! Its not the first time Ive been there. The dishes are delicious and what can I say about the service! Marco is such a favorite server for me! He really cares about providing excellent service with a little touch of humor! Thanks Marco!
Good meal, good service and the martini (Bombay) was perfect!
always nice!!!
Nice service and the food was delicious, definitely recommended
Tres good service and the pizza is wow!
MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT! It tastes like Italy! Bravissimo to the chefs The atmosphere and the European character! Lino s music takes us on a journey! Nikos simpatico humor! Michaels professionalism! PS Easy to get there by train or bus! Enjoy your food! Ciao The good life!
We had great service
Excellent meal, incredibly tender octopus, delicious pizza!
Really delicious. Pleasant, dynamic and even comical service. I fully intend to return.
Ce fut une première expérience pour nous ce soir! Wow!! Lendroit est propre, chaleureux, accueillant. Tous le personnel était courtois, professionnel et attentif à nos besoins. Tout le menu est alléchant, le choix fut difficile à faire. Nos deux plats étaient succulents, absolument délicieux! Superbe expérience, nous retournerons certainement.
Its a typical 80s Italo-Montreal restaurant, with garlic bread, Caesar salad and Fettuccine Alfredo. Ideal for elderly Quebec customers. If you go to Italy regularly, this restaurant is obviously not for you. I tried the pizza and pasta and it was borderline acceptable. I invite all chefs and owners to visit Italy before opening restaurants! Its a shame because I really want to support the businesses in my neighborhood, but in 10 minutes and with $2 I can prepare better Italian dishes at home! I have to say that the 5 star reviews on this site are hilarious. Best Italian food ever, the Caesar salad was great!
Excellent food, perfect service with a smile, didn t feel rushed at all. Had a lovely night! No negatives :-)
Great meal & service. Try the lemon veal
I really liked it, the staff are incredibly friendly.
the wine was frozen the waiter in your because the table asked the other waiter we talked it was very special never returned the price of the wine is very expensive
Literally the only negative I can come up with about this place is that there isnt much room and it gets loud when its busy. The staff is always at the top of their game and the food is exquisite. Having been to Italy myself, this is the closest you can get to actually eating out in Rome.
Wow amazing dining experience
WoW, great service, excellent food., really well done.
Very good service and knows a very good restaurant to eat with family or friends
I loved my meal good portion quick and efficient service affordable price
Amazing food. Large portions. Highly recommend it. Food
Phenomenal pasta dishes.
Table dhôte always brings new dishes. Affordable prices, excellent food. The servers are very friendly!
Great local authentic Italian food service is stellar and accommodating. I ll make the detour just to have their food
Everything is good here! And the service of exceptional quality! A beautiful place to discover
Simply delicious and unparalleled service.
Disappointing food, lots of noise.
Intimate place, charming staff, very good food
Warm restaurant, very welcoming, super friendly waiter, tasty dishes, affordable prices, we will definitely return!!
Excellent cuisine, 6-star service.
The food was exquisite! The fried squid is fresh and delicious! We had fettucini alfredo and spaghetti carbonnara and it was absolutely delicious! Parking: There is incentive parking nearby
Excellent pizza!! Very good service. Beautiful terrace in summer. Very affordable price. And located in the Village Ste-Thérèse district. To visit!!
Excellent in all aspects.
The service and meal was excellent! This is my favorite Italian restaurant. THANKS !
Best Italian restaurant...service, welcome, atmosphere, excellent food, without forgetting the great professional staff, we recommend it. The road is GREAT Thanks to the whole team. BIG THANKS TO YOU JIMMY, FROM MARIO AND ARAIS AND THE CHILDREN
Perfect nothing to say
horrible service. Arrived 5 minutes before booking. Never served. Other guests who arrived after us were greeted very quickly. We were completely ignored by the servers. Big lack of respect.
Carbonara was made by a first week student from a cooking class. The Spaghetti Bolognese sauce had very very little tomato paste and the meat was insignificant. Try elsewhere
Fresh, local and authentic, the service is impeccable and friendly! More than enough for a visit. Gnocchi please!
Good little Italian restaurant. Excellent food and attentive service.
Wow what a good attentive service. They prepared a custom plate of caprese salad and prosciutto for us. D-É-L-I-C-I-E-U-X.
Really very good, I was surprised!! Ill go back for sure
1st visit and it wont be the last. Friendly atmosphere, staff all as attentive as each other. The dishes chosen were delicious. I will go back.
Super good restaurant! The waiter Marco is truly a gentleman! I recommend it !!
Best trattoria north of Montreal. The pizza is delicious. The friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Weve loved it for a long time!
Great welcome, impeccable service, fast service. The dishes are generous.
Super nice and good thank you beautiful little terrace
Excellent! Al Dente!!!
Food was amazing and the service was fantastic A very nice restaurant. A must go.
Great service, grilled salmon and delicious risotto
Reservation with half an hour s notice, we were received like kings impeccable service! The food WoW it was truly an extraordinary dining experience! Grazie mille
Best Italian restaurant in the region
I give 2 stars because it would be wrong to say that everything was negative. We were 2 adults and 4 children between 9 and 12 years old. The waiter who placed us at our table, really great!!! A big thank you for the excellent service! For our assigned waitress, it was terrible... worst service I have received in a long time... Entries: garlic bread (like a small pizza) - Delicious! Caprese Salad - Nice portion and it was very good too. The only problem was that we were never offered bread like at all the other tables, we had to ask for it. Main dishes and service... It was our first time.. so we each ordered a main course.. Not knowing the size of the plates, we asked for 3 pasta dishes and 3 pizzas.. The waitress was very aware that the pizzas were for 2 of the children and my partner.. despite everything, she never informed us that the portion is huge. They could easily have eaten 3 of the same pizza and there would have been some left over... I understand that pizza reheats well the next day, but we could have done without $50 of extra pizza!! Notifying us would have taken 30 seconds and everyone would have been happy. 2 out of 3 pasta dishes were very good, the children practically ate everything. On the other hand, we heard the waitress on several occasions offering parmesan and pepper to other customers, but once again, we had to ask for it ourselves... Finally and very unfortunately... the 3rd dish of dough. We were praised for the BIG legs of King Crab... saying that its expensive because they are very big... When it happened, I was stupid and said please!! Very small, very small crab leg.. not to mention that the pasta was dry and not very tasty.. I mentioned it and the only thing the waitress could say was that she also thought it would be bigger .... Disappointment... No one came to see us about our dissatisfaction... we paid... and we left. With our 3 pizzas at 90% full... Too bad, because the comments are so good.. A big part of the problem came from the service.. maybe because we were at the back of the restaurant.. who knows.. We wont come back.
Bravo always exemplary service from all employees a restaurant where it is good to meet alone or with friends the food is always spicy with Love... Gimmy is the best cook in Ste Therese Everything is excellent 10/10 Don t let go of your wonderful welcome, it s perfect
Simply delicious and the service is impeccable and very warm. They have several vegetarian options, although not enough choice in terms of beer, that would be their only fault! See you soon!
Very good Italian restaurant Fine Italian cuisine A Must
Excellent atmosphere Sublime food Incredible staff My best restaurant Vegetarian options: Pasta Vegetarian pizza Kid-friendliness: High chair available
Very good. And the number one service
Food was super good, as simple as a vegetable soup that was delicious. The customer service was great !! Super friendly !! Definitely coming back !!
The plates were excellent & definitely worth the price! A special thank you to our server Marcos who made the evening even more memorable. I will go back for sure!
Slow service waited over 45 min to receive our food Forced to chase the waiter to pay Very ordinary food
I went there once as a couple and once with a friend and overall they were great experiences. I liked the veal parmigiana and the service in general was good.
If you dont mind being treated as a second class citizen by a coked up condescending waiter, be my guess!
The waiter was very condescending, the food was good but the service was disgusting, we were made to feel like idiots because we asked if the menu on the internet was still valid, we were totally laughed in the face instead of just saying no, maam, he told me made it a humiliation 1st and last time in addition to being packed like uncool sardines
We were very well received, very nice warm atmosphere. Very good service and excellent meal. We went for a birthday and we dont regret our choice!
A neighborhood classic. Always good, fast, more than reasonable prices and excellent service.
One of the best restaurants i ve ever been to.
Best pizza ever and the pasta is so authentic you ll feel like your really in Italy.
Very good meals, portions are big and excellent service!
I invited my employees for a Christmas dinner and they loved it, there were 9 of us and the service was perfect. The plates are generous and delicious, a real Italian restaurant. Dietary restrictions: Modified toppings Kid-friendliness: Spaces ok Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance
Pizza la strada surely the best in Quebec
Good food and very good service
Fantastic food and service
Excellent Italian restaurant with outstanding service and a varied menu of very good Italian dishes. I will definitely return and I highly suggest it.
always a pleasure to share a good meal with friends. Thanks to Marco for finding us a table. thanks to his brother for the excellent service and has the whole team behind them. already looking forward to going back
Very good fresh italian food and outstanding service, highly recommend !
Wow Italian food at its best! Me And my wife went on a date night and Calamari was delicious Ceaser Salade perfect. And paste was great portion size is perfect and taste was on point. Traditional style with quality.
Restaurant italien au coeur du vieux Ste-Thérèse. Les prix sont corrects, la nourriture et les breuvages étaient bons. Lendroit manque un peu damour (décorations, toilettes), mais on a eu un bon service. Ils ont une petite salle privée pour une réception de 20taine de personnes maximum. Et en cet saison ils ont aussi une terrasse extérieure.
Very good and excellent service well done
It would have been at least 15 years since we returned to this place. I should never have waited all that time. There were 4 of us. It was very good. The service was excellent. I recommend it
What a delight with friendly service and portions that are worth the trip. Thanks Jimmy.
Thank you for a lovely evening and a very friendly atmosphere. Unbeatable price quality, from starters to dessert you will get your moneys worth (delicious).
Very good little restaurant
I recommend it for the good, excellent food and the impeccable, very attentive service. We had a great evening.
Customer service that meets my expectations and an exceptional meal!!! I highly recommend it to everyone!
Very good service and the veal escalopes are delicious!!
Service was good. Ambiance is excellent, charming terrace. I do love an al dente risotto, but it was clearly undercooked. The lamb was not bad, slighty too charred. Overall good experience.
too expensive value for money lots of little fruit flies
Very nice experience, Italian food to match and incomparable service! I highly recommend this warm place
Very good
Really good place. Nice food and superb service.
Very good, fast service, reasonable price... I was pleasantly surprised when I was there this week. It s a beautiful little restaurant, I recommend!
Loved it and my friend from Minnesota in the USA said its been one nof the best in his 4 times to Montreal
The best restaurant in town!
Quite simply the best pizza in the world! La Strada pizza is the best. Not too garnished, a magical blend of flavors! All the staff are very courteous! Our place of choice since we discovered this gem in the village!
Great food, a little on the pricy side but the ambiance is top notch.
I love this place. The service is fast if desired, the food is good. It quickly becomes a place that we think of to go eat in a good little restaurant. Try it.
Great service...great food and prices
Very good service
always the best food with great service!
Carbonara spaghetti has too many onions
Food and service was excellent!! Antipasto was fresh, calamari was crispy, pizza was delicious. Veal melted in your mouth.
Quebecs best Rose Tortellini Pasta. Ya should all try that.
I highly recommend!! Beautiful tasty dishes Perfect staff and welcome!! Italian music sweet to the ear. A bring your own wine which is a plus! In short, I highly recommend
Amazing, thank you
Great food!
I left on a Tuesday evening me and my wife, we had extraordinary service from Marco! The food is 10/10 I recommend
Very cozy place. Affordable and good food. Super friendly staff.
Beautiful little Italian restaurant. Generous portion, not too expensive and very good. Great discovery in the center of Ste-Therese.
Delicious
Everything was perfect. The pizza is excellent, the veal was tender and delicious just like the risotto.
Super good restaurant! Especially pizza
The best Italian restaurant....ever! Warm and courteous service Everything is good as it is not possible Congratulations to the whole team
Great food, great service, good portion and nice atmosphere.
Great service, but the food wasnt the best. Maybe it will be better next time.

Very good restaurant, the spaghetti alla Carbonara and the penne à la Gigi are excellent as well as the pizza! I really recommend this restaurant!

To feel in a relaxed atmosphere with delicious food, five-star service, really tasty food!
The food is excellent. The risotto is divine.
