Amelio's |
|
(Restaurants - Italian) |
|
201 Rue Milton, Montréal H2X 2L1 514-845-8396
|
|
Distance:
~1.163 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
Affordably, fabulously flavorful and eminently satisfying. Amelio's is a tried-and-true standby in the McGill area, serving up great thick-crusted pizzas and pastas. It's not a fancy spot for a romantic dinner – this is hearty food in a super-casual atmosphere. Understandably, students make up a large percentage of the clientele, but the place is worth checking out even if you're a PhD. |

La Petite Marche |

|
Distance:
~3.304 km * |
|
|
 |
| |
Description:
Come hungry and expect heaping plates of food to satisfy even the most gnawing of early morning pangs. However, if you are hankering for greasy, artery-clogging options look elsewhere, as the Petit Marche specializes in the fresh, the light and the tastefully prepared. Try poached eggs with fruit, roasted potatoes and tomatoes Provencal, or salmon rolled with a melange of cheeses and capers. For the ultimate value, bring a partner as the portions could easily accommodate two appetites. |

BU Bar à Vin |

Description:
Many folks come here just for the wine, and honestly that is a fine reason. They have a wide variety of wine, with weekly by-the-glass specials that encourage repeat visits. But the food, designed to complement the wine, could stand on its own quite easily. The menu is comprised of several sections of hot and cold antipasti (think Italian-style tapas) such as caponata, brandade, crostini, grilled vegetables, walnuts and olives, carpaccio, salad Caprese, and charcuterie platters. Substantial enough to be a meal, but small enough to serve as appetizers if you're on your way to dinner somewhere else, and all decidedly delicious. |

Hostaria |

Description:
Careful preparation of the freshest ingredients gives Hostaria an edge in Little Italy, where Italian restaurants are abundant. The menu changes frequently, as you might expect, which not only allows the kitchen to use only the best produce but encourages repeat visits. Italian food fans will not be bored here! There are plenty of distinctive pastas, but if you want a bit more protein, try the osso bucco, grilled octopus, Baccala alla Livornese (salt cod with tomatoes, garlic and basil) or stuffed veal chops. |

Little Italy's home cooking can be found at La Fornarina where everyone is accommodated in three separate halls (seating a whopping 240 people) and treated like family. Smell the pizza cooking in the wood-burning stove as you peruse the menu featuring old favorites like parmiggiana and scallopine. Great place for families and groups. Abbondanza! |

Description:
You can have a great meal here. Pastas are made in-house daily, and the sauces they're topped with are awesome. There are big salads, a good selection of veal and chicken dishes, pizzas and calzones, and specialties such as braised rabbit and roasted veal shank. But the homemade desserts are stunningly wonderful, from presentation to taste. Cannoli, gelato, granita, tiramisu, biscotti – each and every one is fantastic. Don't overstuff yourself on pizza and pasta! |
