Went Saturday night 6:30, after reading reviews, place was empty, had no reservation, told they were booked solid. Had my wife and 2 kids with me, very disapointing.

We went on Friday night for the first time after reading the rave reviews on Trip Advisor......and we were thrilled we did! The house appetizers are excellent. All three appetizers that followed were outstanding......the highlight was definitely my wife's mushrooms which were absolutely amazing. My Linguini alle vongole was as good as I have had anywhere in the world. As... More

If you want to try this restaurent,you will always have and eat great food.The taste will always be the same and the staff is always ready to help you in trying something different.Your wine list starts of really low and you can have the best wine at LA CANTINA.So next time in montreal try this little fine restaurent.

We followed the advice of trip advisor and checked this place out, and once again it didn't disappoint. You start with free breads and meatballs to get your juices flowing. Then we all had different pasta and all agreed it was one if the best we'd had. After the meal they bring complimentary creme caramel dessert, biscotti and cookies to... More

I came expecting just another italian restaurant. I left very pleased with the experience. They start giving some free appetizers like sausage and garlic bread. The service is excellent and the food delicious. Will be back for sure

Truly a fantastic culinary experience, the food, the ambience, the excellent service makes La Cantina my number one destination restaurant. The wine selection is very well priced, the homemade ricotta gnocchi are a little bit a heaven, all the meat and pasta dish selections are traditional with a contemporary twist, and the antipasto is the perfect start to a decadent...
