Da Emma is a hidden Italian gem located right in downtown Montreal. Since the restaurant itself is located below street level, many people pass by this little trattoria every day without realizing it. The only sign for it is painted on a nearby brick wall in black and white and consists entirely of a downward pointing arrow and the word "Emma". It is because it is a little hard to find that diners feel like they are in on a secret not everyone knows about.Inside, Da Emma goes with a sleek and modern style complete with dark wood tones and white tablecloths. The menu consists of both classic and modern Italian plates. Some of the intricate plates that the kitchen puts out include fettucini with porcini mushroom and truffle, veal breast in rosemary sauce, four cheese tortellini in alfredo sauce and house made meatballs in marinara.

    The last time I was at Da Emma prior to Feb-2025 was in Feb-2022, and it was just as great, if not better this time. We went to celebrate our daughter's birthday, and it was all good. From the greeting, to the great service from our waiter Alexandre, to the food. We were offered a dessert for the birthday girl and a digetive after our dinner. We all loved what we order and talked about for the rest of the evening. We will definetly come back. Thanks again Da Emma!

    Overall, a great experience. The waiter was great but no one to greet at the door so had to walk into restaurant to find somebody.

    Been to DaEmma several times when visiting Montreal. John-Luc, Lucha and team ensure that the dining experience is world class from start to finish. The quality of the food is excellent, fresh and consistently delicious from the weekly imported Italian cheese to the unbelievable Tiramisu. This is a top 5 North American restaurant and hidden gem that once found will have you anticipating your next visit.

    Très bonne nourriture, mais présenté de façon inacceptable pour un restaurant haut de gamme. J’ai pris le thon, il était délicieux, mais c’est tout ce que vous aurez dans votre assiette, un morceau de poisson sans RIEN d’autre. 0 riz, 0 legumes, 0 sauce, rien! Mis à part 4 patates styles déjeuners dans une assiette à part. Bref, super bon, mais présentation minable.
