Tiamo on Postcard

"Moleskine's more formal upstairs section (headed by chef Frédéric St-Aubin) has charmed many in town, but the offering in the more casual downstairs set-up — particularly the pizza — is just as lovable. Wood-fired, blistered crusts mix crunchiness and tenderness, and toppings oscillate between classic and inventive (see: the mornay pie). The pizzeria also runs a popular food counter at Time Out Market, for those looking for a cheesy bite in the downtown core." - Joel Balsam, Valerie Silva, Eater Staff

"Neapolitan-style pizza is the focus at this Parc Avenue mainstay, with a selection of 10 different pies available at all times, including a rotating pizza of the day. A second location opened in the Time Out Market in late 2019." - Daniel Bromberg, Mallory Frayn

"A 2016 addition to Montréal's dining scene, Moleskine is, arguably, three restaurants. There's a takeout window selling meals to go and ice cream, a casual downstairs restaurant serving sandwiches, salads, and both coffee and beer on tap, and a gourmet dining room on the second floor. The industrial-chic decor with chain-metal curtains and mismatched chairs around communal tables has helped make it one of the city's trendiest restaurants. The food is more fun and festive than fussy: Crudos, creative salads, and pizzas from the wood-fired oven are all recommended. Moleskine is from the same team behind the popular Pullman wine bar, right next door."

Reserved for a birthday dinner. Atmosphere and service were amazing and food was good, portions could be bigger for the price range. Cocktails were good. The only thing is the place is very tight especially for big groups but other than that I would definitely come back.

Been wanting to try this place for a long time. We reserved a table for 6 on a busy Friday night, and really enjoyed our experience. We got the table right away, sat on the upper floor which is very enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing. There were several waiters per floor which is great when very busy, and there were all kind and helpful. Food was really good, (took and entree and a salad and it was the perfect amount) and the ambiance is chill, people are generally dressed up, we stayed for nearly 3 hours. Desserts are a must!!

Food was good, but in all honesty portion sizes could be a bit larger, especially considering the price range of this restaurant. Great and creative cocktails. Excellent ambiance and service. Chanel our waitress made our experience especially great though! She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and timely despite having to manage the whole second floor on her own for the night!

I was visiting Montreal from Dec 20 to Dec 23 and this fancy restaurant was my first stop after arriving at this freezing cold city via Megabus. The food is not bad, services are excellent but they overcharged me for a drink. Also I have to mention that I threw up immediately after I rushed out of the door and payed my bills. Thanks for your food, staff, and the composite trash bin at the crossing. At least I didn’t caused any trouble inside or a scene ;) A little lovely following up: my friend and I returned to your place next morning (December 21st) and the receptionist at your check in desk kept the record (also wrote down my phone number) saying the owner would call me. It’s been 5 days until now and I haven’t got any phone call from Montreal yet. Dear owner, just keep the $18 as a gift from Santa and happy holidays! I hope you have a wonderful new year 🐐（plz don’t ring me up)

Unfortunately amidst the beautiful ambiance and moody lighting, the food was lacklustre. My friend got the duck confit pizza and i got the burrata pizza. The dough was fresh but the flavours were quite bland - there was a true lack of salt altogether. I appreciated the bread & olive oil with balsamic but olive oil was quite watery. My other friend got salmon and said she really enjoyed it! The cannoli filling was delicious but the shell was quite stale. The chocolate mousse was good, decadent but not overpowering. The atmosphere has a real wow factor but the food we tried was just dull unfortunately.

The service was impeccable, the staff really went above to respond to our many requests and to make us feel comfortable. That being said, the food was a tad warm/cool upon arrival and a bit mid in portion and flavour. For a price point slightly above your run of the mill pasta place ($25-30 a plate instead of $15-20), we expected above-average taste. Overall a great experience.

Had a fantastic night at Tiamo! Dinner was delicious and our server Chanel was so helpful. If you like matcha, try their Matcha Martello alcoholic beverage. Surprisingly really yum! The vibes in the restaurant are classy and cozy, which make for a lovely evening with close friends.

Unfortunately, Tiamo is a catfish. Although the decor and ambiance is great, the food and service fall well below expectations. Our group of 6 arrived at 9:30 and only received our food after almost 2 hours of waiting. We had to ask for bread twice. The first time we asked, the waiter nodded disdainfully and never brought it. Maybe he was having a bad day? We got the bread - which is really just pizza crust. Our food wasn’t bad, but considering you’re paying $30 for a pizza, you’re expecting something great (especially when the service is bad). I also had a cappuccino which was poor quality and was charged $7 for it. Think ownership needs to take better care of their servers or re-train them to justify the high price they charge for everything on their menu.

sit up stairs & enjoy the views. FAST service on pizza. we grabbed the marghaeritta and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. i would have liked it to be baked 1 more min, but thats a personal preference. drinks are strong & tasty. would come back!

What a great place! Setting is very modern, and they are relatively new- open for 1 year! Don't sleep on this place! Great Italian food! We ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese, Florentine medaglioni, Margarita pizza, and the TiAmo salad. We also got the tiramisu, mango cheesecake, and the cannoli's for dessert. Our waiter Santiago was phenomenal! Great attention and really knew his recommendations, as the few things he mentioned ended up being some of the main things he suggested. The Florentine was what I got and it was SO creamy and rich. It came with probably 7/8 pastas. The sauce was something I will probably try to recreate at home (and probably not even come close to how good it was! lol) Atmosphere was elegant, modern, and they played light and fun house music. It's 2 levels and the upstairs does have a bathroom. They take reservations online and there is metered street parking nearby! If ever in Montreal again, this will be a top contender to come back to!

We went to this restaurant for dinner on our first night in Montreal. The restaurant was very cute in terms of appearance. Lots of greenery and cute decor. The size of the establishment seemed to be a relatively good size. They did have enough seating to host our party of 7 (including a baby). The service pretty good and the food did come out pretty fast. Our server was nice and he did speak English. I got the margarita pizza and the fettuccine alfredo. The pizza was cooked perfectly. Super cheesy.the fettuccine Alfredo was just as good. There was chicken i. The pasta as well. The food was hot and the wait was not long at all. No complaints. I would definitely recommend this location.

Wonderful evening at Tiamo. Evening started with a 5 minute delay to to a mix up with tables. Manager came over and was extremely apologetic and when we were finally seated, she brought over a complimentary bottle of champagne. Restaurant is trendy, cool and beautiful with good music playing in the back. Our server Hans was a gent! Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and made great recommendations from the Grilled Pieuvre (octopus) to the Burrata Pizza (highlight of the evening), Linguini Con Gamberri. Also had the Poplette (just average) and the Rigatoni Tiamo (yum!). Dessert were some amazing cannolis and a dreamy tiramisu.

We were glad to find this place open as their website said they wouldn't be open for another couple of days. It turns out this was a "soft opening" but we wouldn't have known because everything turned out really well. The salmon was cooked perfectly, as were the lamb chops. Good mix of vegetables as well to accompany the protein. We had the chocolate mousse for dessert, which was fantastic. The ambiance is chic, and fortunately the music is not too loud! The servers were very attentive and friendly and were easy to make pleasant conversation with. Prices were on the higher side for this neighborhood but still very worth it for the quality of the food and service.

A promising new wood-fired-oven pizza restaurant in downtown Montreal. It's not open yet; I look forward to visiting when they finally open their doors.

literally the most awesome place ever. went on a super busy saturday night and the staff was kind enough to squeeze us in and seat us. the entire ambiance was super trendy and cool, drinks were great, and the food was even better. highly recommend the pizza, meatballs, rigatoni tiamo, Cavatelli al ragu, and fettuccine alfredo. definitely a highlight of our weekend trip to montreal, we all keep talking about how great it was!

Pire restaurant . On a reserver pour 15 personne a 9:30 pour un surprise party. Il etait rendu 11 et la table etait meme pas prete. Service de merde. Les gerant savent rien gerer. Eviter ce restaurant.

Yelp

The food quality was very inconsistent. We ordered one drink for $18 and was unbalanced and overly sweet despite being the "least sweet" on the menu. The cavatelli with wild mushroom and meat ragú was an excellent flavor but overcooked pasta. The Caesar salad was good except for an inferior quality Parmesan cheese that had a plastic texture and no flavor. Service was attentive and good. Quality of food is not aligned with their prices.
