I was actually really impressed with the food here. That Particular corner of Montreal is a well-known tourist trap area so my expectations were low when I made the reservation but a few of my friends told me the food was good so I gave it a chance . I’m really glad i did. Also the Service was really good very friendly and she spoke English and French perfectly I will definitely go back and recommend it to somebody from out of town.

Fantastic dinner and great service! We just stumbled upon this Italian restaurant in Old Town. The patio was full but the inside seating was cozy and romantic.The menu appeared to be authentic Rome Italian fare. And we were not disappointed! Everything was delicious. And for dessert we had the home made tiramisu. My wife doesnt drink coffee, but tasted this and ate more than her fair share!

WOW! This was our first time coming to Montreal, and I am so happy we came to this place. The manager, Brandon, was amazing! Our food was taking a long time to arrive due to the restaurant being understaffed, but he offered more wine, extra bread and a cheese plate on the house. And we didn’t even have to ask! Thank u, Jacopo, for making our night so great!

What a great find. Excellent service (seriously). Flavours and pairings were delish. The atmosphere was great (we were able to enjoy street artists playing fabulous music while eating on the terrasse). Yummy Italian food in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!

If you are in the market for Italian food in the old port, this is a great option.My family and I had a wonderful dinner at Jacopo. We had a high top table right next to the bar so we could see the bartender churning out great cocktails.My personal favourite dish was the burrata which was recommended by our server. With that said it was all delicious.

We LOVE this place. We came here for a bachelorette and the food was FANTASTIC. Benjamin our server was 11/10 and the best company. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Was disappointed since I came specifically for the Pane dorato (French toast) on the brunch special, which was the only item on the menu they didnt have. Despite that, the service I had was wonderful. The pasta carbonnara was nice and salty, lacking a bit of liquid though as it was a bit dry. The supplì was nice and crispy, packed with tasty mozzarella and a very nice marinara sauce. You can ask for complimentary focaccia bread and I must say that it was delicious: super soft and airy topped with lots of rosemary spices. Overall a bit expensive, but still good.

I liked my chicken Supreme. Although my girlfriend found the pasta too salty and cheesy. We had to return the dish.

Decent vibe and wine collection but the food overall is underwhelming (for the prices they’re charging).They served us pana cotta topped off with olive oil & a basil leaf instead of traditional vanilla syrup. The server did apologize but dint offer to take that item of our check or offer some discount. (We dint ask for that either, but this should be a gesture offered by the staff)There are definitely much better Italian restaurants in Montreal!

Had drinks and appetizers while exploring, was a very nice place. The sangria was delicious and the fried calamari was just the way I like it, crispy and well seasoned. The dip to go with it was also tasty. I would recommend stopping if you like drinks and food 😂 the indoor eating was mostly closed, but there is a beautiful upstairs to dine in or host events. I would definitely return here when visiting Montreal again.

I just had to share my positive experience at Jacopo because our waiter Peter was one of the best I have ever had. He was friendly and so attentive to our needs, its rare you see this kind of attention from restaurant staff these days. Everything from noticing our empty water bottles and asking if we needed a refill to bringing us two card machines to speed up paying our bills. Thanks for making our day, Peter!

I liked the restaurant and the terrasse. The food was good, I recommend the burrata appetizer.What I liked the most is the drinks ! My Negroni Clasico was exceptional. I also asked for a crafter cocktail with a rosemary flavoured gin. They did not disappoint ! Had the rosemary directly in the drink and it was truly delicious, loved the recommendation.

We came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening following a friends recommendation, but we were not impressed with the experience at all. As soon as we were seated, it felt like we were being neglected by the server - we were almost ready to flag down the hostess to ask who our server was.We got our entrees more than an hour later only after asking our server to check, all while watching other guests being seated, served, and finishing before we even got our food. Our server didnt offer any explanation.Rather than enjoying the food and ambience, we spent most of the almost 2 hour dinner wondering where our food was.

Attended an engagement party in the small reception hall upstairs. It was a rustic kind of vibe and the seating area was in a solarium. The washrooms were clean and so was the general restaurant.The food checked off the boxes. The aranchinis and octopus were very good. Would definitely go back here to experience the overall menu.As for covid checks, they require vaccination confirmation which made the experience feel safer and more comforting for us.

Good place for tourists. Great food and ambience atmosphere. Great service (place was almost empty - near end of brunch)If you drive, give yourself some time if you reserved.Highly recommend coming to the area by foot. Depending on time and day, finding a spot to park on the street can be nerve racking.

😍 Wow, food was delicious! You can’t beat the $22 lunch special. We both had the salad which had fresh tomatoes and basil (yum), then the rainbow trout and steak were both delicious. Lastly the cannolis were the perfect finish. Will be back next time I’m in the area. Definitely NOT a tourist trap, it was truly a quality meal.

Review №38

Poor service, do not follow the waiter when he says its very delicious because it is not, do the choice your self, the portions are extremely small. The waiter was rude, and stand on top of my head during the payment to check the tip. I wouldve given 0 stars, but 2 star for 2 things, the first star is for the bread and olive oil, the second star is for the nice indian guy helping and serving, thats it. I do not recommend.

Food was excellent service was professional with excellent waiters very friendly and social . I had the ravioli with butter but squash with butter and toasted almonds its was freshly made and the taste was devine. I also had their odd dessert made with olive oil its was delicious better then I expected. I recommend this place for anyone thats going either on a date or a casual hangout with friends

Review №51

Excellent service and special shoutout to Peter for making our experience a memorable one. He took the time to tell our group that they were quite busy that evening and that it may take a while between appetizers and main courses. I very much appreciated the heads up rather than waiting with no warning or feeling like our server forgot about us. The foccicia bread they give you to start was excellent. The appetizers and main courses were quite good but portion sizes were small. Also, I ordered the Pasta Magherita- very good flavors but needed a lot more sauce, there was hardly any at all so that was my only complaint really. Would still give them 5 stars as the service was deserving but just wanted to share suggestions for the restaurant as well.

Review №55

Extremely far from the Italian kitchen. The rice in my risotto was undercooked and mushy, tasteless and cold, the fish was a tiny piece of an unknown kind, no mushrooms, no truffles as advertised. The spaghetti carbonara were too salty with 3 stripes of some kind of meat-like product, the gnocchi for my children tasted like a noodle soup from a 2 year-old can, my sangria was supposed to have a portion of martini, not just ice and 2 cherries, the octopus was very small. I will propose to the head office of Google to include negative star evaluation. I guess the good reviews are due to the many friends of the owner, I cant imagine someone could like the food let alone call it Italian! On top of everything we waited for the food for an hour, the food came cold besides the promise of the waiter that our meals are being cooked right at this moment! Needless to say that I will no longer be sponsoring the extravagant hobbies of the owners. I understood what a classic tourist trap is!

Went to Jacopo as part of the MTLaTable experience. We were impressed with the food, and the customer service is really exceptional!!We had focaccia bread as a complimentary starter, and tried both the beet carpaccio and fennel salad. Both were tasty and good portion sizes!For a main meal, we ordered the pasta margherita and the pork. The pork was well cooked with a generous portion of vegetables. The pasta was delicious as well! For dessert we had some tiramisu and biscotti, both of which we enjoyed!To top it off, their staff are really great from the waiters to Mathias the general manager. We felt extremely welcomed and well taken care of! The restaurant went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience which was really nice!I will definitely come eat at Jacopo again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice meal!

Went there on a Thursday (October) if was very calm. Half full, mostly older crowd like baby boomers and some families. I was surprised it wasnt the young professionals but this is probably because it just got cold.Super well located, just opened in May. Finally a good restaurant in the square, that locals would go to. I recommend this place.Its nice inside, very trendy, muted art deco style. The middle table towards the back though, Im not sure what was going on with the air but it was FREEZING, we asked to move and then we were fine.Service is good but now what we all really care about, the food. Food was amazing. The only thing I was dissapointed with was the entrée basket focaccia (you get this free), lacking flavor, a little stingy on the rosemary. The olive oil balsamic was really good though. We shared a platter of charcuterie and cheese. They age the charcuterie themselves and cut it. We had an Italian with us and she approved the prosciutto was delicious. The calamari was perfect as well, not chewy, tasty. The Aranccini was good though we were so consumed with our other plates.We then had the pasta with speck and carbonara. Both really good. Home made pasta. The carbonara, though delicious, was more on the cheese side than the egg side so it was a bit thicker than what a carbonara is supposed to be.All in all, Ill be going back again.

Nice setting, disappointing, tasteless food and average service. Had the panzetta salad.. tomatoes (in season) were mushy and flavorless and basic croutons had not absorbed any of the dressing (which was lacking deep olive oil flavor/ was overly acidic). Squash pasta was light on flavor and touch around the edges . Go for a drink to enjoy the square and eat elsewhere for dinner.

They had me at ‘Focaccia.’ Amazing new restaurant in Old Montreal, a proper modern Italian resto in heart of Old Port, much needed. Excellent pasta dishes, huge fan of the cocktails and especially the carbonara. Tried almost all appetizers, all very good. Great little terrace outside, perfect for dining or lunch. Great space upstairs too for groups.

I would put 0 stars if I could. Don’t waste your time going there, I think it’s still open because of the location but it’s definitely not worth the expensive price you will pay.First, service was terrible, at least it was quick, but nobody offered us any pepper/parmesan or came to ask if the food was good... Second, the portions were small and the food was tasteless. No meat in the pastas and maybe like 3 ingredients per plate... And finally, the drinks were bad too... it was truly disappointing, I wanted to try this restaurant as I saw the good reviews about it, but I’ll never go back for sure.

The service was impeccable. Calm and cosy ambiance and perfect place to bring a date. As for the food, I am usually very skeptical when I am eating Italian food out, but I when I saw they had Cacio e pepe, I decided I had to try it. Its usually a very tricky recipe, since there are only two ingredients. It was excellent, my date and I were pleasantly suprised. Another great thing is that all the pasta is fresh and homemade.
