Vicolo Restaurant & Bar

Me and my buddies were in town from Ottawa for the Pascal-Kovalev fight at the Bell Center, we wanted to have a bite and watch the undercard fight at a sports bar instead of sitting for hours at the Center until the main bout, which would be at about 11pm. Our hotel concierge sent us to a local sports bar nearby, when we got there it was jammed packed and we couldn't get a seat, we didn't want to walk around in the snow storm so we ended up right door at Vicolo. The sign said 'Vicolo Restaurant & Bar' so we figured we were good to go, LOL. Nice big place but really cozy, which I like. We started off at the bar(hot barmaid, haha) and ended up sitting not too far away in a booth where we could...

Decided to try this based on Urban Spoon rave reviews. Very disappointed! We know that NYE is hectic and isn't the best representation of your typical night but the service took FOREVER! Not sure why the waiter didn't take our order immediately when we showed up but waited a good 30 mins before he did. The wait time in between the courses were just as long. The food was ok. The squash soup was delicious and the bass dish for dinner was tasty but hubby's ravioli had very thick pasta and sauce and there was no taste of black truffle even though it was listed on the menu. Although it was supposed to be open bar the drinks didn't have any alcohol taste and again took forever to get them. And don...

New restaurant with a strong kitchen that is undermined by terrible service. It could have been an off night, but I've rarely experienced service this poor. Literally, from the moment we walked in the door, the server forgot everything. From our drinks, to plates for starters, to the box for leftovers, it was a catastrophe of epic proportions. To add insult to injury the food took over an hour, and though good, the portions, particularly the risotto, were small, very small, like hungry by the time we got back to the hotel small. Coming from NYC, we know bad service, and this was up there with some of the worst we've seen. Hope they figure it out because the food is solid, and the prices, min...

Upon arrival, first glance looks amazing....Valet service available at 10$. Hostess smiled and welcomed us. About 6 waiters all standing together talking and just staring at us...felt a little odd..Food was good some hits and misses..Pro: Warm ambiance, trendy and young. Cons: Music just a little to loud but it was Saturday night so must be normal. Food a little over priced.Suggestion: The waiters are the soul of the restaurant. They need to make sure all guest feel welcome and never judge a book by it's cover. To much pretension for a Bar atmosphere.Overall, it's a nice place to meet friends and have a nice time out in the city!

Just 2 blocks west of the famed Bell Center, the perfect place for dinner before a Habs game or a concert. Great food, a wonderful AFFORDABLE wine selection and a v Maitre D / Sommelier who knows his stuff! Who knew Spain had affordable ( and yummy) sparkling wines! 5-7 ....after work, its THE place to be. Went for a girls lunch 2 weeks ago and everyone loved their meal but the real test came last week when we had tickets to a hockey game. Great food & service and we had plenty of time to make the opening face-off.

First time. Group of 7 persons. Week day at 1:00 p.m. Greeting was nice. Very good service from staff. Waitress came many times if everything all all right. Everyone got their meal at the same time. Really appreciated. Food is excellent. We did not know that there is a special menu for lunch only but there is a good variety and they were very accommodating for any request, i.e. no mushrooms or red sauce instead.I will go back and recommend this restaurant.

I had an amazing time at their grand opening on the 3rd of December with great music from DJ Abeille and delicious free food everywhere. Vicolo really has a lot to offer and you can tell by a successful night like that one. You can more about it on my blog!

new place offered lots of interesting options, and good service from the staff. Heading to a game, we were not able to lounge and enjoy the menu treats. Music a bit loud for my liking, but it was a sports bar atmosphere with lots of Guy Power in the room

This restaurant follows the typical Hong Kong diner style. The servings are generous, but the prices are slightly higher compared to other restaurants in the area.
