Bistro Amerigo

Tucked away on Monkland Avenue in the heart of Montreal’s charming Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood, Bistro Amerigo is a true hidden gem for authentic Italian cuisine. This cozy, family-owned trattoria has been delighting locals and visitors alike with its homemade pastas, robust sauces, and warm, welcoming atmosphere since opening its doors.

Step inside Bistro Amerigo and you’ll be transported to a little slice of Italy, with its exposed brick walls, rustic wooden accents, and soft lighting creating an intimate, neighborhood vibe. The menu is a celebration of traditional Italian flavors, featuring classics like linguine with clams, spaghetti carbonara, and a decadent lasagna that will have you dreaming of Nonna’s kitchen.

But the real star of the show at Bistro Amerigo is the pasta. Handmade daily using only the finest ingredients, each bite is a revelation of texture and flavor. Whether you opt for a simple aglio e olio or a more elaborate puttanesca, you’ll be hard-pressed to find pasta this good outside of Italy itself.

One of the best things about Bistro Amerigo is its intimate, neighborhood vibe. The small dining room fills up quickly, so be prepared to wait for a table – but trust us, it’s worth it. The attentive staff will make you feel like a regular, and the lively atmosphere is perfect for a cozy date night or a lively family gathering.
