About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Here at Hostaria distinct aromas bring back sweet memories of Sunday gatherings when tables were set by our grand-mothers. These women were proud and happy to welcome their children and grand-children to share not only memorable meals, but more importantly to celebrate life and the pleasures of being together!

Hostaria is synonymous with the comfort of home; a place where well-being reigns and the soul is filled with nostalgia for those happy days…

The kitchen is our workshop… our source of creativity, where our staff /chefs gather(s) regularly to share their ideas, their gastronomical experiences and their well-kept family recipes.

Meanwhile, our dining room is a melting pot of past and present culinary experiences. Here warm Italian hospitality is inherent… this is our formula, this is who we are… this is Hostaria!

    Our dinner was AMAZING! We began with an amuze buche of arancini, which was followed by a charcuterie platter; both were great! As an appetizer, I had the beef carpaccio with wild mushrooms, while my friend had the grilled octopus - carpaccio-style. They were spot-on! For the primi, I had the freshly made papardelle with boar ragu and my friend had the seafood risotto: flawless! As for the secondi, we both had the rabbit; simple yet masterful! However, with the arrival of dessert (a limoncello tiramisu), a bittersweet taste remained, as this was Hostaria's last week in operation. This restaurant has yet to fail me. It takes skill to elevate rustic Italian cuisine, since the cuisine is focused on the ingredients and their execution. Unlike other styles, there are no sauces to hide behind. Hostaria was a gem and accomplished this feat beautifully. You will be missed ... a presto!

    Wanted to have a leisurely lunch with a friend and enjoy great Italian food. Unfortunately, I remembered the quality and attention to detail of Il Mulino and was disappointed. My antipasto was a mixture of grilled, marinated and cooked vegetables with little thought to presentation or balance of flavors. The whole grilled fish was excellent but served with a watery salad. The crostata desserts were stone cold. We were two and spent over 100. $ for lunch, no wine, just bottled water. Terrible espresso. Perhaps it was a bad day. The service was very good and the space is nice.

    This restaurant is amazing. Hurry-up before they close! The owner is retiring and closing the restaurant. Such a shame, one of the best italien in Montreal!

    Nous avons beaucoup apprecie notre repas du midi. Les mets etaient succulents: les portions sont genereuses comme le furent l'antipasto et le plat de pates - tout a fait delectables. Le service est tres attentionne. La carte des vins est egalement variee et abordable. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant.

    Nous en étions à notre deuxième visite. Nous étions en bonne compagnie avec des amis. Bel accueil. Menu intéressant. Sommelier/serveur qui maitrise très bien le menu et qui nous a proposé de bons choix de vin. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et on peut sentir une belle complicité entre les membres du staff. Nous avons vraiment beaucoup aimé notre soirée et clairement nous y retournerons.
