Abruzzo is a gem of an Italian restaurant! My wife and I recently dined here, and we were thrilled with our meal. I opted for the lamb tortellini, while my wife enjoyed the spinach dish, both of which were bursting with flavor. The restaurant's ambiance was perfect, with soothing Italian music playing in the background, creating a truly authentic experience. We left Abruzzo with full stomachs and smiles on our faces. This place is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious Italian cuisine in a delightful setting!

We stumbled on this location when it popped up on the map near our air bnb on a girls weekend away. The atmosphere was romantic and unique with vintage decor with modern elements. The wine selection and liquor for cocktails were great. We chose to ordered a variety of apps and mains. The best and most unique across all 5 of us ... was the bruschetta lard with roasted tomato's! Insane! So delicious. I would eat that everyday. We always all enjoyed the mushroom stuffed gnocchi with cream truffle sauce. The pizza, cesar salad, mushroom aranchini balls, and burata were allllll so amazing. Lots of gluten free pasta choices and pizza. It was quite a quiet area with road construction, parking right out front. It was a romantic vibe. We all snacked on the leftovers overs the next day. Great portions! Our server was lovely! She helped us navigate the language barrier with kindness.

Our visit was fantastic from start to finish. The welcoming ambience, mood music charming and outstanding service and delicious food were a great start. But the custom cocktails, attention to detail, views of the cartier bridge and the outright perfection of the evening left us so satisfied. We are just visitors to montreal and luck brought us to a perfect spot for our evening!!! Try the Sara cocktail, its sublime

Pasta made fresh at the restaurant and the quality was outstanding in my opinion. I absolutely loved what I got: gnocchi with mozzarella and tomatoes in a pesto sauce. Cute space and really easy to hear each other talk even though there was music. The pizza looked good but none of us tried it, I like that there were cauliflower crust options and other gluten free options too if you need that. Also lots of veg options. We were served toasted bread and olives with oil and balsamic to start and they were perfect. I definitely recommend this place and especially before all those new condo developments bring in tons more people. We had two cars and were able to park right in front on a Saturday night.

Really nice restaurant. The vibe is really cozy. Their French 75 was an excellent cocktails to accompany the meal. I also enjoyed the Limoncello Spritz. We had the rabbit with polenta. Thw rabbit was perfect. But the polenta was out of this world. It was buttery, warm and made perfectly. I could have that dish every day. The vegetables were a perfect compliment. We also had the Abruzzo pasta. It was al dente. And very fresh. It was also quite delicious but the star if the show was the rabbit. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick. And it is perfect for a date or pre-event meal. Definitely must try!

I got the mushroom stuffed gnocchi and it was most incredible gnocchi I’ve ever had! It was so soft and the mushroom filling was so delicious!! The portion was large and the leftovers were just as good. I would absolutely come back here!

Very cute, rustic little Italian restaurant. Loved it so much I’m writing this still at the table. There are 5 of us and we don’t speak any French. Our server was absolutely lovely, and the food was phenomenal. Our collective favourites were the bruschetta with lardo and the truffle mushroom gnocchi.
