Casa Cacciatore

Best authentic italian family restaurant in Montréal.
This isn’t your fancy 6 course kind of italian restaurant, but if you’re looking for some great authentic pasta, this is definitely the place. Generous portions, reasonable prices and great services, what more could you ask for?
Located right outside Jean Talon Metro, this italian jem could easily be missed due to its plain exterior. As soon as you step inside the restaurant, however, is a whole new story. Theres a whole wall dressed up as a wine rack and everyone from customers to waiters are Italian.
We went with the waiter’s recommendations, and ordered the seafood pasta to share (there is over 20 choices of pasta on the menu). They also bring you bruschetta as appetizer to share, and even the bread was nice and toasty.
The food: BEST PASTA I’VE HAD IN MONTREAL. The clams and mussels were so fresh, and the pasta sauce was superb. Unfortunately, since we’ve just had pizza right before, we didn’t have the room to digest anything else but I can’t wait to come back and try more !

This restaurant is a favorite in our family. Usually, we order in, but when we go to the restaurant, it’s even better. Even before the meal, you get a plate of bruschetta. Ours was slightly burned, but they offered us a new one free of charge. The new one was great. The décor gives the place a nice Italian feel. There were many choices on the menu, and we decided on fettuccine with pesto, manicotti, and spaghetti with meat sauce. This was a bit much for a party of one adult and three kids. The pesto was a bit bland, but the spaghetti with meat sauce was really tasty. We even considered buying some of the sauce. The manicotti was great. All in all, an amazing, authentic pasta place.

Best pasta i ever had!
An italian coworker told me that’s the only italian restaurant her family goes to because its so authentic. Therefore, i decided to give it a try since my family loves italian food!
— service was great and attentive
— The pasta, you can taste the freshness, this is the real deal
— veal — simply yum!!!
— we were 8 and all ordered something different, I tasted everything, and all was so good! i think this is a no-​fail restaurant! can’t wait to go back!

I was looking for a good place that served fresh authentic pasta. I came across Casa Cacciatore, I had read good reviews, so I decided to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised. They started out with a plate of bruschetta, followed by a basket of warm bread.
As for the food If you like Italian, the menu covers everything. I ordered a small plate of tagliatelle Gigi and veal parmesan as the main course. It hit the right spot, i mean I have had a lot of Italian food but this was the most authentic i have ever tasted. I still can’t get over that sauce, WOW!!! I am already thinking about going back. The staff is very friendly and they know the menu very well. Even their house wine was good. You can’t go wrong, I definitely recommend this place.

This was by far some of the worst Italian food I’ve ever had. Fettuccine sauce like bad Mac and cheese. Tomato sauce liquidy, runny, and slimy. Also under seasoned, or badly seasoned. Absolutely no finesse or knowledge of Italian cuisine was apparent. There was no chicken on the menu. Veal, seafood, beef. Shabby décor, and the lighted was atrocious. Recessed lights turned up all the way. The service was ok, and the younger man serving us was quite nice and helpful (typically Canadian!) there was an older man serving us, too, who seemed confused, and was hard to understand (I speak French). Very disappointing, since we spent only 3 days in Montréal.

An excellent surprise all around. Nice setting, wonderful food. Definitely recommended.

This place is an absolute gem. It features it’s own pasta but that’s just the beginning. In an effort to save your eyes I will only say GO!

Restaurant traditionnel italien, tres bon service, bonne ambiance et terrasse à l’arrière qui donne sur le marché jean-​talon. J’y suis allé plusieurs fois et c’était toujours très bon. Les pâtes sont particulièrements bonnes, et pour les viandes ca dépend de vos goûts. J’ai pris de l’entrecôte et du veau je me suis léchée les doigts, par contre ca reste dans le connu, rien de special. Les portions sont énormes, ca vaut la peine de partager. Mon conseil, né pas y aller sans prendre des pâtes, même si c’est en entrée. Bön restaurant pour accomoder tout le monde, y a beaucoup de choix!

Traditionnel. On est pas ici dans le resto italien branché. On est dans la cuisine traditionnelle bien riche et généreuse. C’est évidemment adapté au public local donc les plats sont servi de façon combiné à la française plutôt qu’en plusieurs service à l’italienne.
La table d’hôte le midi est offerte pour moins de $ 20 et le service est professionnel et rapide.

Si vous êtes au marché Jean-​Talon et qu’un petit creux vous tenaille ou que vous avez une faim de loup, vous êtes au bon endroit!
Que ce soit pour manger une soupe minestrone sur le pouce ou un repas digne d’une mama italienne, tout est bon et classique. J’y ai mangé ce midi et j’ai pris la table d’hôte qui comprend une entrée, le plat principal, café et dessert entre 15,95 $ et 19,95 $. Tout était bien préparé: la soupe minestrone, le saumon grillé, le café et la salade de fruits frais. Les pâtes sont cuites al dente et le menu offre beaucoup de choix.
Le midi, la clientèle est plus hétéroclite: des touristes, des clients du marché, les clients du coin. Le soir, c’est plus familial. Les serveurs étaient très gentils, rapides. J’entendais le personnel parler italien. Grazie!

Amazing. Service was stellar, food was even better. This place doesn’t look like much from the outside but trust me – it is worth it. And great prices too.

A friend of mine made reservations to the resto as we were looking for some Italian. Came in through the back door and at first was not impressed. This Casa opened up to a nice little restaurant, full house (expected for a Saturday), clean restrooms and great vibe. Our waiter was very bilingual, friendly and did well for our party of 8. I had some of the best gnocchi that I have ever tasted and the rest of my meal was great. I am sure to return.

I was traveling in Montréal and wanted to see «Little Italy» for some pasta. I don’t know French so it was difficult having the menu exclusively in a foreign language. The only downside to the experience was the waiter. He was really rude and said he couldn’t help me if I didn’t know how to read the menu. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo and had them add shrimp and clams. It was pretty good but the waiter acted very put out the whole time. The bruschetta was delicious! There were bugs in my wine but I just drank it instead of dealing with «Garson» some more. All-​in-​all, I think I would go back here given the chance. It was the best of my dining experiences during this trip (the others were very bad).
