Le Petit Italien - Outremont

There is value in doing one thing and doing it as best as it can be done. In this case, Italian food and specifically pasta. The menu at Le Petit Italien is concise and focused. I ate (can't remember the exact title) a type of bruschetta with white anchovies which was very tasty, unique, appetizing and good. a crudo, which was equally inviting and dressed perfectly a pasta putanesca, my favorite, which I order whenever it is on the menu. Well done, even if the olives were almost too shy for this bold tasting plate. Someone at our table ordered profiteroles (3 on a plate), the chou dough was hard, stuffed with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. The service was attentive and prompt. I would have rated this 5 stars if I had not tasted the profiteroles. Next time, I will stick to the Italian theme and order cannoli instead. Overall, a good, well run, comfort food restaurant I would go back to.

Overall disappointing experience. Caesar salad and fresh mozzarella entrées were flavorful. Soup and pasta were mediocre. Rating my experience two stars mainly because our waitress was visibly uninterested in serving our table, possibly because we weren?t consuming alcohol. Interactions with her were very unpleasant and cold. Even caught her rolling her eyes and scoffing when we asked her not to take away an unfinished item from the table.

We had dinner there for my girlfriend's birthday and it was such a great experience. Audrey was our waitress and she was super accodating (adding veggies to the pomodoro) and helping with drink selection. Our favorites were the focaccia and the mushroom papardelle. We'll definitely be back.

Awesome place. Great service and food. The ambience was top notch for the first night of curfew lifting. They had heater lamps placed outside, so it was warm although the weather was chilly. Bernard street is closed for the whole summer so there's a lot of place to seat outside. We came and were served right away.

The service here is exceptional! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is delightful. However, the food could use some improvement considering the prices. Overall, it's still a wonderful place to take your date or a friend for a lovely evening.
