Boccalini

Are you ready to be treated as a family member, the Il Boccalini team will offer you an experience out of the ordinary in regards of service and culinary art.

It was at the end of the ‘80s that Fabio (Chef and owner) and his partner Aldo (Maitre D and owner), both from the Lazio region of Italy, founded Il Boccalini Restaurant in the city of Montreal. Richly educated at Italian cuisine schools, they immediately started offering meals that are true to those traditions. With these high standards, the restaurant is still standing tall in the Saint-Laurent neighborhood welcoming a loyal clientele and new regulars daily. The menu features a variety of Italian and Mediterranean specialties like veal shank with roasted eggplant, Milan-style rack of lamb, risotto with tomato sauce and fresh scallops, smoked salmon, and filet mignon. Of course, an assortment of pastas and pizzas are also offered. Il Boccalini also has a good selection of desserts.

Bottega Pizzeria

At Bottega, we are always looking for exceptional ingredients: organic salumi, fresh buffalo mozzarella from the Caserta and hand-picked San Marzano tomatoes make up our pantry.

We do not make any changes to the products; rather, we prefer to focus on their quality and let them assert themselves. Neapolitan pizza is distinguished by its fine golden crust, smooth to the touch and taste. Our Vesuvian stone wood oven was sent to us in one room from the port of Naples. The pizza is cooked at 900 degrees and in 90 seconds. Our wine list completes our menu. Well arranged, a wine must enhance a dish by highlighting its freshness and flavors. We strive to give you access to the best Italian wines, at an affordable price. For us, the important thing is not so much to know or spend - the essential thing is to enter our home with the intention of drinking and eating well, and letting ourselves be watched over the rest.
