"Michele Forgione and Stefano Faita, the restaurateurs behind this sleek Little Italy restaurant, are among Montreal’s most notable, and their combined expertise makes for a mouthwatering offering. Expect pillowy ricotta gnocchi, seasonal salads, house-cured charcuterie, and a wine list that’s extensive and varied. (Impasto is temporarily closed due to a COVID-19 exposure; check its Instagram account for reopening information.)" - Karin Murray-Bergquist
