Located towards the north end of St-Laurent Boulevard, this is the area where the first Italian immigrants settled in Montreal. The district is now crammed with shops, restaurants, social clubs, cafés and bars. There is a festival atmosphere year-round as businesses vie with one another to attract customers and the streets overflow with pedestrians. Take a stroll through Dante Park, where you will find families enjoying a day out, and card and bocce ball players focused on their game.

All in all, we were two and it cost us $33.00 each with the tip (which was not plentiful because service was terrible). Believe it or not we shared the antipasto and the pizza. Never again, guess they've become too sure of themselves, well think again, they've just lost a customer and it will not stop there I have an aunt who is on the Committee of the Golden age association of one of the oldest Italian churches in the area and I know they go to that restaurant when there is an occasion to celebrate............well that may change once I let them know.
Little Italy in Montreal is just that : LITTLE
Pros: Some pretty good restaurants. The market nearby is pretty neat to see (although not an image o...
