OUR STORY
THE VENUE
Nestled in the heart of downtown Montreal on iconic Crescent Street, Wienstein & Gavino’s spans three vibrant floors, each with its own character. From a bustling four-sided street-level bar to an open-concept kitchen that puts the craft of cooking on full display, every corner invites you in. Two sun-drenched terraces offer an urban oasis in the warmer months. Whether you're here for a cozy dinner or a lively night out, the space blends rustic charm with a modern edge — a true reflection of its spirited Italian soul.
THE FOOD
Rooted in Italian tradition and elevated with a fresh, modern twist, our cuisine is a celebration of both innovation and heritage. At Wienstein & Gavino’s, every pasta is made by hand daily, and our artisanal pizzas are fired to perfection in a state-of-the-art oven imported from Italy. With a menu that evolves with the seasons and culinary trends, we honour the timeless dishes of Italy while continuously crafting new favourites.
THE SPIRIT
For nearly 30 years, W&G has been more than just a restaurant — it's a downtown institution where locals and travelers alike gather to savour la dolce vita. With warm hospitality, timeless energy, and an atmosphere that buzzes with life, every visit feels like a celebration. It’s this spirit — authentic, welcoming, unforgettable — that has made us a cornerstone of Montreal dining. Come for the food, stay for the feeling, and leave knowing exactly why we say:
“La Vita è Bella!”
