Caffe Un Po' Di Piu

This restaurant has such a good vibe! It was quiet and cozy feeling. Great spot to have a conversation with friends or a date. The waiter was very helpful and gave us a detailed explanation of the menu. He was accommodating and we were never waiting too long for anything. The food was really good! Had a bunch of interesting options with interesting ingredients. The portions were a little smaller and on the pricier side but still very good.

The restaurant has a good atmosphere, the waiter is very polite and knowledgeable about the restaurant's food and wine. The pasta with Mushroom was the best pasta I have ever eaten. The tiramissu was fantastic, delicate taste. The decor beautiful and welcoming. My daughter had the meatball with pomodoro, I tried a little from her plate, it was delicious ! It was so good that I needed to edit my review to add more photos from my second visit. I will keep coming back.

Had a quiet birthday dinner for my wife recently, and as both of us are vegetarian, we were delighted to find their veggie options to be superb. Although the location on busy Rue de la Commune (Vieux-Montréal’s tourist-crowded thoroughfare) is not a calm part of the city, the ambience inside was tranquil & very cosy. The service was attentive & helpful, the decor was lovely, and the food was EXCELLENT. Portion sizes are just right, with great flavours brought to life by clearly skilled chefs. And the desserts were extremely tasty as well. We fully enjoyed the experience and will definitely return for more wonderful meals! Highly recommend reservations to be safe. A great new place in Montréal, from the same team that runs the iconic Olive & Gourmando. Very much worth a visit! Well done, Un Po’ di Piu! Grazie mille.

This place is amazing. Service is remarkable. We were sitting at a smaller table and the waitresses were so kind to offer us to switch to bigger tables when the restaurant was less busy. The waitress also let us to try the wine first to see if we liked it before pouring us a glass. Highly recommend the prosciutto. Wish we could've tried the tiramisu but too bad it was out. Chocolate cake was a good second option. Not too sweet and perfect with the ice cream on top.

Food and service both on point. Beautiful space and design. Burrata, prosciutto, and tuna salad were all standouts. Found it to be a bit on the pricey side but still worth the extra dollars. Looking forward to the menu changes for next season to see what other offerings they'll muster up!

Cute decor with a bar opening to the kitchen. Small plates easy to share. The charcuterie plate was delicious, I enjoyed the ragu sauce and burrata. It won't reinvent Italian food but it was good. The real fun is pairing these plates with delicious wines as it is a "buvette". Our server was very knowledgeable and provided great service.

Shocked it wasn’t more packed - the food was delicious here! Got the mushroom pasta and everything was so fresh and flavorful while not being too heavy. Intimate spot so it was perfect to go with a friend. Very attentive and warm server.

First time in Montreal and I was absolutely blown away by this place. The atmosphere, food and service were all incredible. I would highly recommend trying the focaccia. All and all I highly recommend you give this place a try if you want some amazing cocktails and Italian food! Fantastic!

Had a wonderful dinner experience last night. A couple of drinks, Chardonnay and Negroni. Carpaccio as an appetizer and then Tagliatelle and Orecchiette. Lovely Tiramisu too. Really quiet and perfect weather didn't have many guests between 5:00 and 6:30 PM. Yes, it's early but the food and service is incredible and attentive. Only a handful of people there before we left on a long weekend.

I'll start by saying, the drinks here were incredible. I don't recall anymore what we ordered, because they have a rotating drinks menu, but the bartenders did a fantastic job. I had some sort of whiskey cocktail with aromatics that made me think of a forest cabin if I closed my eyes, and my partner had a delicious, lemony-fizzy gin drink of some sort. Both looked and tasted out-of-this world. Service: Not great - We had to constantly flag down the server to order drinks, food, get water refilled, get our bill, etc. It got to the point where I ended up going to the hostess to ask to pay for our bill so we could leave. Food: so overpriced - $40 for linguine al funghi? $8 for 2 pieces of sourdough with oil? We also got a pork special which was pretty good, and quite juicy which isn't a given for the cut. However, as with the others, I'm not sure it justified the price. Atmosphere: Pretty nice, music was not too loud, good enough to carry a conversation with a small group. Note that there are not many large tables, so if you are more than 4 or 5 you may want to find another place. Overall: Pretty nice spot for drinks or catching up with friends, but if you're looking for a full meal, don't be fooled by how great the seasonal menu sounds. There are lots of great Montreal restaurants you can experience the same quality and better service, for less money.

First off: this place is fantastic. Full stop. First night in Montreal and tried this place because is was close by the hotel. Lucky us. Very busy, lively little place facing the street by the river. I had their French 75 cocktail which was a delicious twist on the classic esp if you love hi - like me. It very fresh, with a rosemary syrup ( trust me) lemon juice and Prosecco. One of the most surprising and tastiest cocktails I've ever had. Small plates included a salmon gravlax with beets and two kinds of sauces- those sauces are incredible- a light mustard seed sauce and a tasty dill. They must have made the salmon in house. I've had lox and gravlox all over including Sweden and never had better. Superb. Also a buratta that was far from ordinary. Roasted vegetables, sautéed bread and a puréed pesto that was extraordinary. You could not get enough. This chef's attention to small details is admirable and rewarding! Dessert? Bien sur!! A rhubarb compote, tart and sweet with a cookie and a little lump of vanilla ice cream on top which you would kill for another bite. Very pleasantly surprising and anyone who enjoys beautifully inspired dishes would wait in the rain or blazing sun to eat there. It was close to epic. No kidding. Bon appetit.

The best pasta I have had in a minute! The seasoning mixed with the beef and pasta was the perfect blend to really get your taste buds going. This started our first night in Montreal on such a great vibe. The drinks were a 10/10. The host was so friendly and helpful. It truly was a great experience. It was our favorite stop for food on the entire trip. Make reservations in advance though as they are really busy!

Un Po' Di Più in the Old-Port of Montreal was one of my best dining experiences of the year. Everything from the atmosphere and service to the food was phenomenal. My group enjoyed the tasting menu from 7:30 p.m. until closing. The restaurant is beautiful. It's the perfect little Italian bistro. I suggest asking for the tasting menu because your table can try the highlights on the menu. It's worth it because every dish is a culinary adventure. The first dish was the Siciliana Foccacia, and I could not believe something as simple as bread and tomato sauce could have so many complex flavors. The menu states that the sauce contains a mix of parsley, anchovies, and garlic. Absolutely delicious and one of the best bread appetizers I've ever eaten. Every dish after that did not disappoint. Other favorites were the Charred Broccoli and the Burrata. The yogurt sauce and spiced sunflower seeds on the Charred Broccoli were divine. I never had anything like the ingredients in the Burrata with beet from de la Fourchette, orange, pumpkin seeds, and pine nuts. A fantastic and creative menu that I would visit Montreal to dine here again.

Ambiance and simplicity in Old City. Ask what they recommend! Our waitress recommended 2 delicious dishes- Bugatti (curly long noodle) with mushrooms, roasted hazelnuts, and pecorino in a light truffle sauce I could die in. Every bite incited a "this is the best pasta I've ever had" reaction. My husband had orecchiette, ragu (a perfectly spicy yet light chicken that just melts in your mouth) clos des roches pasta. They paired perfectly to split. The drinks were yummy and the staff perfectly attentive without being overbearing. Full but not crowded. Recommend a reservation. A lovely date night on a snowy April Wednesday.

We had a lovely dinner here. Shared three dishes plus focaccia between the two of us. The buratta with Brussels sprouts was amazing as was the grilled broccoli. The kale salad was also good. Nice bistro atmosphere and wonderful service.

I loved this quaint spot! It was great for a light and delicious dinner on a Thursday night. My date and I ordered the burrata and polpette. Our waitress was friendly and welcoming and made some great recommendations. The spot is in Old Montreal and just a short walk from the La Grande Roue de Montréal. Our dishes were fresh and tasty, a perfect dinner before continuing to tour the area by foot. The caffe is now a favorite, it is chic and cool, and worth the stop.

Small dining space that is still comfortable, cozy and inviting. The tasting menu gives you a full range of the great Italian food available in Old Montreal and the drinks are a great compliment. Our favorite dish was the pork chop, it was so well cooked and seasoned, with the fresh peppers it was unlike any pork chop we've ever had. The service we received was incredibly friendly and took extra time to talk with us about recommendations around Montreal and for our upcoming trip to Quebec City, highly recommend!

Warm and inviting Italian bistro in old Montreal. The staff were hospitable and welcomed us right as they opened for lunch on a cold gray day. The interior of the restaurant is small and cozy, giving the feeling of dining in one's own home. The food choices were limited but excellent. Our food was prepared right before us in the open kitchen so we knew it was all made from scratch. I had the cacio de pepe that was served in a warm soup bowl and had a mix of black and red peppercorns and a dash of red chili flakes. It was topped off with parmigiano reggiano and fragrant olive oil. The taste was delicious and the bucatini was thoroughly seasoned just as pasta is meant to be. My wife had the vegetable soup that was made with a light tomato broth and loaded with seasonal winter vegetables. It was just the right lunch for a cold day. The service was top notch -- personal, caring and yet professional. Definitely a place to visit if you're in the neighborhood.

I'm at a loss as to how to start this review as I'm still in the contented bliss of my food coma. Put simply, this was one of the finest meals of my life. But let me set the scene before I get to the food. The restaurant itself is incredibly charming. It has all the hallmarks of a small Italian restaurant while maintaining an authentically French Canadian feel. There are small tables closely spaced to make maximum usage of the floor plan without making diners feel like they need to sit on top of each other. The tables are simply but elegantly set. The only music is the very pleasant sound of the host and staff chatting in French along with the other diners around you. The lighting is soft and the colors are all warm. It is every inch a calming and inviting place. When you enter you are greeted with a warm smile and an enthusiastic welcome that generously overlooks glaring defects in your French. You are less likely to be forgiven a lack of reservations, so plan accordingly. The service throughout the meal will be attentive, friendly, and extremely helpful. You will be escorted to your table and be provided with two simple-looking menus: food and drink. They have a limited list of cocktails but what they offer, they execute at a high level of perfection. We enjoyed the Genoas, which were just a tad sweet but had a perfect amount of vermouth and a very effective herbal bouquet. They also have skillfully chosen wines by the glass that pair well with the food options. To eat they have several small items designed to be shared. Kind of an Italian tapas feel, as the name would suggest. We thoroughly enjoyed the broccoli, Brussels sprouts, charcuterie, and the margarita focaccia. Each was amazing in its own right. The broccoli was a bit heavy in the balsamic vinagre, but otherwise each dish was perfectly balanced and very well presented. I'm not in Montreal often, but I will recommend this place to my friends and would be thrilled to return.

Parfait! One of best dining experiences ever! So pleasant so welcoming and the food was delicious. Impressive flavors. Just wonderfull. Waiter so helpful and charming. We never felt rushed or like we couldn't ask. But menu pretty clear. Food could not have been better. From the cocktail to the dessert. Had the house Negroni - small but delicious twist that made it smooth. House cocktail French 75 citrusy and delightful. Endive salad so fresh and amazing flavors. Focaccia light and the sauce and cheese -- could have eaten a dozen! Pasta fresh and flavorful. Tiramisu had a Kahlua twist that made it sweet, it was creamy and amazing. Could not recommend more. Allez!

Very cute dinner spot in the old port. The decor is very well thought out and fits the European aesthetic that old Montreal has. They take reservations ahead of time and would recommend because it is not a large place. The service was very good. They had an extensive drink menu and a small but quite complete food menu. I was a bit disappointed that the tagliatelle ragu which I've seen online was no longer on their menu but maybe it's seasonal? My favourite was the broccoli dish, super flavourful, followed by the citrus salad which is always a great choice in the summer time. The cavetelli was alright but I wouldn't order again. It was a perfect amount of food for two people and we were too full to order dessert. I really liked the seating, even if it was at the bar. A great plus is that it was not very loud and you could have a conversation with your friends without straining your voice.

Randomly came across this place, while walking through old Port, so happy that I did. The food was absolutely delicious, but quite expensive and the portions were relatively small. The menu doesn't have very many items, and if it's your first time, you'll probably need to ask the waiter to help you through the menu. My waiter did a great job at helping us navigate through the menu and figure out what to order. I found the service was great, and we were served very quickly. I really like the ambience, we sat at a little table by the window, and had an overall great dinner.

Same owners as olive/gourmands. Great Italian restaurant, friendly staff. All I can say is start with the focaccia, never tasted anything so good. Crispy, garlicky and ready to dip in olive oil. Homemade pasta, all really good. Nice spot in old Montreal.

Excellent service! Mafaldine with ragu was delicious, tiramisu was perfect way to end dinner. Highly recommend

Quite a disappointing experience to say the least. Such a beautiful restaurant, very nice service and central location to downtown Montreal. The prices here are exorbitant for what you get. There is a huge sense of GREED that is very very clear. They charge $5 for two small pieces of bread and asked us if we would like some dipping oil which we responded with "sure" thinking she was being kind. We were charged $3 extra dollars for a few drops of olive oil and balsamic. Never in my life have I been charged for a drop of olive oil? Extremely embarrassing. The rest of the food was also very expensive for small portions, which we wouldn't complain about if it was indeed amazing. $31 for a very basic deli platter and $16 for a small piece of focaccia bread topped with a little sauce and cheese- oh did you want pepperoni added? Another $5 please. Come on, this place is pure robbery and they should be ashamed. There are so many amazing spots in Montreal. Do not waste your time here

Food and service were amazing! Would highly recommend! Interesting menu. The burrata was exceptional!

Un po di piú means a little bit more. This is exactly what we wished we had gotten with every dish. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 pastas and most of the dishes were just ok. Their olive oil was phenomenal and the mafaldini with ragu was also delicious, but the asparagus with ricotta salata and the radiatori with tomato both had overpowering sauces. The portions of the main dishes were small and could easily have been a little bit bigger and would have cost just pennies more. It costs almost nothing to add a couple more noodles to the pasta dishes and serve them in a bowl instead of on a plate. The service however, was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Food and service were excellent! Smaller place so make a reservation but the pastas were well worth going. Unique blends of ingredients were awesome. Sister restaurant to Olive & Gourmando, another super place.

Every morsel of food was fantastic, best meal in Montreal. Service was excellent. Great craft cocktails. We were party of 7 and had set menu, everyone loved each dish.

What a delicious find! Went here after reading all the great yelp reviews and I cannot highlight enough how amazing this restaurant is! From the warm and welcoming chic decor, to the lovely staff and the outstanding menu! We started off with a glass of prosecco and aperol spritz. Share the focaccia, the burrata, the gnocchi and the vegetables of the moment which were delicious Quebec beans with almonds, butter, garlic and truffle oil! So yum! We were especially happy that they could easily make many dishes vegetarian, including the gnocchi. We topped everything off with a piece of the olive oil cake that was served with mascarpone cream and a peach coulis... I will be counting down the days until we can go back! Highly recommend!

Came here after a mid-morning cruise in the harbor. At first, the open bar seats looked like a good option, but then decided it was too nice to be inside and the host happily cleared a table outside that was looking out to the harbor/waterfront. The outdoor server was so sweet and constantly came around checking on all tables and making sure everyone was set. The patio maybe has 10 tables and possibly half were sat at the time (1:30 pm on a picture perfect and sunny 75-degree Saturday afternoon). I couldn't believe that every seat wasn't taken, I truly enjoyed my time here that much. I was deciding between the gnocchi and the burrata, and ultimately went with the latter minus the nuts due to an allergy, based off of the servers recommendation. This dish came out almost immediately and the presentation was perfection. The flavors were good, but I wasn't a big fan of the dill mixed in. It's a personal preference, not their fault. I ate almost everything on the plate and devoured the delicious focaccia bread. You have to order this if you are here, it's delicious and you'll just keep eating more and more. The prices are a bit high, but it's a touristy area and the food quality is top-notch. Based off of the service, location and quality, I recommend you stop by. Ratings for a visit on 7/13/19 are as follows: - Food: 4 stars, 5 for the focaccia - Drinks: 4 stars, all I asked for was something with bubbles and they delivered - Location: 4 stars, right across from the cruise port and the outdoor seats are the best -Atmosphere: 5 stars, for the relaxed vibe and lovely decor (minus the awkward first date poorly playing out in front of me)

I would recommend this place to anyone who loves super fresh and inventive Italian. We tried the charred broccoli, pizza with red sauce, shrimp pasta, and meatballs. All honestly incredible. Oh, and the tiramisu which had cocoa nibs. A little pricey but great service and SO worth it.

Service was super nice! The waiters took the time to explain the menu and let us know how it works. They suggest sharing plates. 3-5 dishes for 2 people. We took 3 and were satisfied. The mushroom bruschetta was to die for! Mascarpone with grilled garlic, champignons des champs, and much more!! The roast pork pasta (cant remember the name) was ok. There was more beans than pasta but the pork was quite soft. The gnocchi was very good but if you dont like the bitterness of the rappini you may not like it as it was quite bitter. I think the waiter said that they changed their recipe from last year. I had the spritz cocktail with blood orange and it was very good! Not sweet at all. And they didn't go easy on the alcohol! It was very strong!! Note that it's not a cheap meal. 3 small plates and 2 drinks was about 100$.

A place to chill out on a nice cold evening will be what I will describe this place to be. They serve delicious Italian food which I went in to get dessert and the waiter recommended me the olive cake - it tasted divine. As drink, I got myself a camomille tea. Oh...I got the chance to touch a tulipe on the table - They are real! Overall, I think I can spend the whole evening in this beautiful place with no worry of the world outside. The decoration, the vibe and the music are made to feel like we are hanging out in an Italian cafe. Maybe I am in Italy... the food name are Italians!

Not an Italian restaurant. Don't waste your money here. Service is good, everything else is pretty wack

Possibly the best gnocchi I've ever eaten in my entire life! It was described as a spinach ricotta gnocchi in a cream sauce with herbs (I think dill was mentioned? I will have to contact the restaurant to find out the exact ingredients as it was one of those "sum is greater than it's parts" concoctions). The sauce had depth and layers of flavors that really paired well with the perfect pillows of melt in your mouth gnocchi. The hostess who sat us was very patient in explaining the menu and the concept of the shared plates, she recommended 1 dish per person in the party for tasting with cocktails or 2 each for dinner service. She suggested we could start with 1 and add on if we like, however, our waiters seemed a little put out when we wanted to add to our order after the initial dishes came out. (we ordered 5 to start as suggested, but then added on another 3) We tried the daily gnocchi (out of this world), Insalata Verde (okay, greens simply dressed with olive oil, a little lemon, and some grated cheese), meatballs (good, sauce was fresh and bright), burrata (creamy and fresh with cubed tomatoes) and a roasted mushroom bruschetta (very creamy mild cheese topped with mixed roasted mushrooms). The table favorites were the mushroom bruschetta, gnocchi, and meatballs. We ordered 2 more plates of the bruschetta as it was just a small tasting to share for 5 people (depending on where on the loaf of bread your toast comes from you will get 2 or 3 small slices, roughly the total size of a tea saucer, pricey for $17) we also ordered the Ceasar salad as I did not find the Insalata Verde to be that satisfying. The Ceasar is very very anchovy forward and the croutons were really hard, but the crisp shards of pancetta were a nice addition. Overall very delicious but high price point.

Nice little Italian place in old Montreal. Warm rich inviting decor and friendly service. We were here on date night and it would have been a lovely romantic spot except we were seated between 2 large loud groups and had to shout at each other to be heard. Not the resto's fault, but it is a small space and you will be very cozy with your neighbouring diners. The menu is mostly small and medium plates meant to share. We ended up each getting our own thing as different items on the menu appealed to each of us. I had the soup of the day, a delicious cream of mushroom, followed by the gnocchi which were wonderful and light and came with bits of tender chicken and a rich cream sauce. Both dishes were very good, my only complaint was that I found both of them to be a little too heavy on the salt for my taste. Both dishes were very rich and sadly although the dessert menu looked tempting there was absolutely no room to try one... hopefully next time!

We had a very good lunch at in po di piu! The interior of the restaurant is very beautiful, there is alot of bar seats, some tables and two large tables for groups. Service was excellent, we were served by different waiters and each of them were very attentive. We ordered the foccacia with side of olive oil and the buratta with roasted vegetables to start. Both were excellent, however, the buratta at Nora Gray and Pied de cochon is better. As mains we ordered the gnocchi and the tuna salad. The gnocchi were excellent and I really loved the velvetty parmesan sauce. The tuna salad was generous and UPDP prepared the tuna beautifully. For dessert we went for the olive oil cake and hazelnut caprese tort. The olive oil cake was really the highlight for us! It was absolutely delicious and I loved the caramel whipped cream that was dolloped on top. I certainly want to try and re create this dish at home! The hazelnut tort was also delicious and had an excellent hazelnut gelato on top. We decided to order coffees since we expected that UPDP would probably have a nice quality coffee. I'm glad we did, coffee was very good! I'm glad we finally stopped by UPDP, it's a great addition to the old port !

Dinner here consisted of well prepared food and a warm atmosphere. In their quest for authenticity, they only serve Italian wine and spirits. You cannot order a vodka soda or a bourbon on the rocks. If you are not a fan of negronis or a bitter citrus version thereof, you risk dissapointment in the cocktail department here. I had the UPDP Negroni as recommended by Leslie Chesterman. It was bitter and very sweet, like most of the others I've had before. I'm sure they mixed it perfectly, it's just that this cocktail in general tastes like diabetes in a glass. On to the food, we ordered a bunch of the small plates to share as well as the oysters. The oysters were a little on the small side, but tasted fresh and were served with two mignonettes (regular and spicy). The burrata appetizer was also very nice. Served with a walnut pesto and some vegetables, it went really well with an order of their focaccia bread (for an extra charge). I was expecting a salty burst of basil, parmesan, and olive oil. Their take on pesto was a little muted. It's still a delicious dish. It's hard to be disappointed with fresh burrata cheese. Served as an appetizer, the dish is essentially a home run which is why nearly every Italian restaurant offers it. To this day however, I have never had a burrata or mozzarella appetizer as good as the one served at Da Emma (hockey puck sized lobes of salty and creamy cheese, gargantuan fresh beefsteak tomatoes, basil, oil) The ingredients are simple, but execution and quality go a long way. Their Prosciutto di parma aged 18 months was very plain tasting. Served with some apple slices, I usually like a cured meat with a little more texture and concentrated flavour. The whole dish was very subtle. Nothing wrong with that if that's what people enjoy. No one went hungry, but my itch was not scratched here. The winner of the night for me was the porchetta which was served with fresh mustard seeds and potatoes. It was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and extremely moist. Just a comforting and wonderful dish. I had a taste of my wife's gnocchi with crispy chicken skin and agreed with her that it was excellent albeit a tad bizarre as a concept. I also tasted our friend's veal carpaccio salad which again tasted very subtle and nice. Nothing revolutionary going on here. Desserts were tasty. We shared the chocolate cake and the olive oil cake. There is not much to say here; They are both simple and enjoyable slices of cake. The waitress was exceptionally friendly and offered to open the window for us. For some reason, the ventilation was not working last week and the restaurant felt like it was about 25 or 26 degrees celsius. It's clear that a lot of money has been invested into this operation and that they want to swim amongst the big fish of the Montreal restaurant scene. I think that they can get there, but some tweaks are necessary to turn this establishment into a destination where people who just have to get their fix are clamouring for a table.

I went already there twice and you can tell this place is another success. Same food quality and service you will find at Olive + Gourmando. First was in the middle of afternoon after a visit to Scandinave Spa next door. We were not drinking but we had this amazing strawberry-balsamic-basil drink. We were literally waiting for the ice to melt in our glass to sip our drinks to the last drop ! Food was as amazing as our drinks. I had the Al Forno plate, an amazing breakfast with winter veggies, their foccacia and ricotta. There was this delicious tomato sauce on my plate, we asked for extra sauce on the side to dip the focaccia bread. They kindly brought it and didn't charge anything for it even when I mentioned it was not on the bill. We could not stop ordering food. Everything was just literally perfect, we had two desserts, the olive oil cake and the torta caprese and both both were just incredible. Their creativity and flavors are to die for. I went the second time for aperitivo. I was with friends with allergies and they easily found stuff on the menu they could eat. Drinks were delicious. I had 2 negronis and a delicatta squash plate that was so good. I just want to go again for the brunch.

Came in on a Wednesday evening and we were seated immediately. The terrace is nice, but it is along a busy street, so we went inside and were put by the window inside. This is a small plates restaurant, so we ordered four courses which included dessert. We were hungry, but not starved, so it was just right. Bonus was $5 glasses of Prosecco since they were celebrating their one year anniversary. We had three dishes--the burrata, Caesar salad, and the gnocchi. We finished with the olive oil cake with rhubarb. The burrata with the focaccia and the gnocchi were both amazingly fresh and delicious. Dill, parsley, and basil really made the dishes spring to life. The olive oil cake was moist and light and the poached rhubarb were deliciously paired and a great finish. Our server was very helpful and provided great recommendations. Such a good evening. I highly recommend.

My friend took me here for my birthday. I was excited to come because Olive et Gourmando is so good and I really enjoyed the foccacia at Foxy. This place is gorgeous! Love the décor and the vibe!! I think it's a cute place to bring a date but also a nice with a small group of friends. I started with the Spritz cocktail and my friend had the negroni. The cocktails were good. We then switched to wine. I had a red from Tuscany and my friend had an orange wine. They do not have a big menu. We shared some oysters, a plate burrata and the bruschetta plate. The burrata was accompanied by roasted carrots and rapini. The bruschetta is not your typical onion and tomato bruschetta. It consisted of mixed mushrooms and garlic marscapone. I liked both dishes and the size was pretty good. I expected it to be smaller but for the price I am glad it was bigger than expected because it was not cheap! We were both full after.

I wanted to check this place out on our first night in Montreal since it was recommended on Eater. The pork belly dish and the gnocchi with squash and chicken were out-of-this-world amazing. The rigatoni was just okay. I should have stopped ordering there. The torta (chocolate cake) was dry and bland and the buttermilk ice cream was also disappointing in taste. I left feeling disappointed that I had wasted the money and the calories on the extremely disappointing dessert. I highly recommend the pork belly and the gnocchi, but perhaps order something else, like the burrata and the prosciutto, to fill you up.

Great spot in the heart of old port Montreal. Beautiful restaurant, great vibes with loud chatter in the restaurant. The staff have an air of importance as they welcome you and seat you. We were a group of 3 seated at the bar as none of their tables were available even though it was requested.The stools are comfortable for maybe 30 mins so sitting here for 2 hours was not fun. Eventually we asked to move to a table when the restaurant emptied out a bit and they agreed (thankfully). We ordered the eggplant dip appetizer with the foccacia served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (extra $). Delicious, and liked the crudites the dip was served with. Great for sharing. Drinks are overpriced, to be expected with any of these types of restaurants. For mains, we ordered from their specialties; the chicken gnocchi and the meatballs. The meatballs were... good meatballs lol I guess it's just not my thing. But the gnocchi plate was unique and borderline bizarre. I can't say that I loved the flavour profile but I like that I ate something special and thoughtful. It was strangely sweet and salty... but I felt it was too sweet for me. For dessert, we tried the tiramisu and chocolate cake. Both delicious but I've had better. I was expecting a lot from this place based on rep (of which the name I still cannot pronounce!) but overall, I don't know that I was wowed or would go back for the price.

This restaurant tucked away on de la commune street has an elegant decor with a beautiful bar in the backdrop of the restaurant. Had some oysters and pickled veggies. Nice wine selection. The dessert was simply exquisite. Nice place for a 5@7 or date!

Cafe un po di piu is a gorgeous restaurant in the old port. The menu isn't extensive but the food is really good. I had the porchetta and it was tasty and superbly presented. The drinks were great too. If you are a negroni fan, I recommend stopping by for a cocktail. Only issue for me was that the price point, especially for drinks, was a little high. However, this might be because of its location in Old Montreal. I definitely will be back to try their aperitivo tower .

Great place in the old port of Montreal! The food is delicious and such a great terasse in the heart of the old port! I definitely recommend the gnocchis. The staff is also very kind and helpful!

Wandered into this adorable cozy spot heading into the Science Center. We were warmly greeted by the hostess who seated us next to their countertop garden of fresh Basil. Heavenly. With our 5 year old there, she was sure to tell us that the margherita pizza would take about 10-15 mins - she said "a long time," which makes me think people try to come here for a rushed lunch, when really the food here should be savored and enjoyed. My husband and I had the malfadine (spicy sausage and red sauce pasta) - it was just the right spiciness, and the curly pasta was fresh and the perfect consistency; and the pesto (spaghetti in pesto with pancetta and lemon) - which was the freshest, brightest pesto with a perfect delightful crunch. The margherita pizza was also delicious, a combo of French bread/deep dish Chicago style - my kid devoured it. It's clear everything is fresh made, with great ingredients and herbs.

In the heart of old Montreal, this small Italian themed café perfectly fits in to heart of the city. Dimmed lights will invite you into their cozy seating (available at the bar or tables). Reservations can be made using OpenTable with no wait time for seating. The staff is great and attentive. They'll hear a drop of a fork a mile away and replace it without even asking for it. I highly enjoyed the menu, particularly the house specials will leave you wanting more. The evening concept here is shareable platters-so don't come alone unless you have a big appetite. Prices are competitively fair for the quality of food. To start off we ordered wine by the glass (12-15$) with a side of olives (9$). For our main courses: the burrata(26$) comes on a bed of cold hierloom tomatoes, onion and basil (5/5); the bruschetta (17$)comes in 3 pieces topped with sautéd mixed mushrooms,herbs, garlic mascarpone the portion were too small for the price (3/5); the house special of butternut squash salad with pickles and freshly sliced apples was a hit (5/5). I don't remember the price of this item- but it was excellent dish. I strongly recommend asking for the house specials from your server. For dessert- I had a traditional affogato that was a great way to end the meal- a bittersweet ending literally. I will definitely come back here especially for the upcoming cold winter days!

My impression online was that this was more of a cocktail bar, but it is not, it is a restaurant - we were promptly corrected on this misunderstanding. You must order some type of food item, you cannot order only cocktails. They also have a very limited bar, Italian products only (ex: they don't have vodka). If you come here knowing what to expect you'll have a good experience and avoid the sharpness of the staff when you ask to just have cocktails. We settled on the burrata and focaccia to accompany our cocktails - both were fabulous. The restaurant has great decor as well. I'm only docking them because of how sharp the staff was when we first arrived.

I've been to this restaurant multiple times and it never fails to impress! The food, the wine, the service, the ambiance, is always on point. During this last visit, we were seated on the terrasse, which is a great spot to people watch and enjoy the view of the Old Port. We started off with the summer vegetable tartine and some olives to accompany our fizzy citrus cocktail, the tartine was flavourful and light, perfect for a hot evening and if you're looking for a light small plate. We also had the Caesar salad and the polpettes which are a constant on the menu. Those meatballs are heavenly! Thankfully, they are served with warm bread so you can soak up the tangy tomato sauce. They also have a great selection of wines, all Italian, and our waitress was great at recommending a perfect pairing for the evening; an affordable light orange wine which went down like water . Don't miss this cafe next time you're visiting Old Montreal!

Amazing food I had the gnocchi it was super delicious!!!!!! great service great dessert super amazed by the tiramisu

Yummy foods! Friendly staff! Great chief, great chief, great chief! We've been in Montreal for jazz festival! Un Pò Di più was a wonderful choice.

this place disappointed in the sense that prices are too high for what you get.. food is simply okay, portions are very small, doesnt justify the $$ at all. also the service is not that great either, we had reservations at the bar but just when we came in (on time) they were sitting another couple at the bar. also after being seated, we waited for a menu and water for almost 10mins ( got up and asked for one).. its unfortunate because its such a beautiful little place and could have much more to give. also, its the first restaurant we went to that asks 5$ for 3pieces of bread ... won't return and wouldn't recommend

soup was delicious, spicy tan tan was awesome. also tried wings s dumplings both were great. super kind service

Had brunch at this cute italian restaurant located in Montreal's old port. My bf and I shared 3 dishes in total: the eggplant dip, the porchetta and the meatballs. The eggplant dip had the same texture as guacamole, it tasted quite nice but slightly over-salted. There were ~8 pieces of fresh & crunchy veggies that came with it, for 10$ - imo, a bit pricey for the portion we got. The porchetta tasted good -although my taste buds would've been more satisfied if the pork belly slices were more tender & juicy. As for the meatballs, they were cooked in a tomato-based sauce and came with a yummy crispy bread on the side. For 15$, this dish was enjoyable, however a bit pricey as there were only 3 meatballs.

Came here for the burrata and was not disappointed!! The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous, the food impeccably plated and delicious and the service wonderful. A definite must to try in Montreal!

Great ambiance! Friendly service. Diverse menu which included fresh seasonal options. Definitely recommend.
