Reviews for Kesté in Montréal, QC
We got greeted with 2 people that where looking at their phones, no welcoming or nothing. Very cold reception There was a bar... tender with grey hair that kept touching his hair with his hands and then was touching glasses and serving drinks. Disgustingespecially in COVID times. The waiter was not on the ball, because there was a big black board that had items that where not intheir menu. After ordering I realized that there was more variety then the 3 pasta dishes. A good waiter always suggests thedaily menu which he obviously forgot to mention. We ordered a pizza prosciutto and mushrooms. The pizza was black on the bottomand the top was not cooked. It was cold and the cheese has set. Not very good at all, tasted like bread. Bland with barely anytoppings. We also had the gnocchi which tasted good but for 27 dollars the portion was very little and the presentation wasplain. The prices that they charge for the service and food that is offered is not worth it. I would never go back. Read more
Overall a wonderfully cute and charming place. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. The calamari... was average but the pizza was fantastic; perfectly cooked with a thin crust. The cheese used is definitely of high quality. Forthe staff, our waiter Josh was great! The remainder of the staff was alright. Would definitely recommend for a nice supper! Read more
Absolutely loved our night at keste, from the great entrees which are fantastic for sharing (you have to try the octopus and... crocchette) to arguably the best Neapolitan pizza in Montreal. Every attention to detail from ingredients to exceptional serviceand night caps (ask for the grappa camomilla!) A+! Will return Read more
Amazing experience, really deserves its 5-star rating! The terrasse is a perfect balance of beautiful and cosy, separated from... the street with some kind of well-maintained hedge for you to feel some intimacy. The exterior lighting is perfect. The staffwas charming and caring, beyond expectations. Their timing and interactions with us were appreciated. They serve Italian beersif you are interested to try new tastes (lemon, etc). The menu was interesting too, with the best ever fried calamari we everhad. Excellent ratio of crunchy and soft, with lemon and homemade mayo. Pizza choices were nice and prices were similar to otherpizza places (around 18-26$/pizza). Authentic experience, really loved it, we are going to tell all our friends. Read more
If you want authentic Neapolitan (South Italian) cuisine, this is the place to go. We had the: Montanara Panzerotti Paccheri... with basil pesto and pancetta Tiramisu Grappa Cammomilla Every dish perfectly balanced in flavours where you can reallyappreciate every single ingredient in the dish and the freshness that it brings. The service was phenomenal from the waiters tothe chef. Chef Gianluca has 30 + years experience in this industry and is the friendliest and most humble person. Overallreally lovely experience tonight. Will continue to back until I’ve tasted everything in the menu (which changes every weeklol)! Read more
This place is VERY Italian (most staff and customers are Italians). I highly suggest taking the polpetta: one huge meatball with... satiating marinara sauce. The Crocchè (mashed taters and cheese croquette) was quite hefty too. We tried the famous pizzafritta. It was a pretty interesting dish: equally large in size, it's basically a fried calzone. However the fried dough issuper light and chewy, not hard and crunchy as I thought (like an empanada). Overall a good experience with great service. Read more
Lovely Atmosphere and the staff was kind and they were punctual with their service.I loved the crocche that they served us,it... was soft and bursting with flavour. That being said, I do believe that the pizza couldve had more distinct flavours to it.For arestaurant that has pizza as most of its menu,I would've hoped that the pizza had more to it than what I had. Otherwise, I woulddefinitely recommend investing. Read more
Nice ambiance, I enjoyed my pizza(Regina Margherita), and was pleased when offered spicy oil. Staff was polite and... professional. I’d like to come back and check out more of the menu. Read more
