Ital Delli — Restaurant in Mont-Tremblant

OK... So we had not been to Ital Deli in a few years. There's been a major reno inside. The bar is no longer on the right as you walk in! They've open up the inside beautifully! It looks spacious and still very welcoming. I'll speak to the drinks first -- outstanding. My wife had the Lemonade Ital Deli and I had the Manhattan. We both had a nice glass of red wine afterwards, suggested by our server. We started with an appetizer -- boccala. Oh my. They added French bread with a really nice combo of olive oil and balsamic. We shared a main of Caesar salad and pizza (Porri). Both were fabulous.

But, as much as all that was fantastic and make us look forward to returning was the service. Jessica, our server, as perfect. Attentive, not annoying, great with suggestions. And there was, of course, the incredible young woman, who I'm so embarrassed to say that I did not get her name. She will own this restaurant one day or do whatever she wants. I have never seen anyone so attentive to customers' needs. And full marks for Jessica for mentoring her and the restaurant owner for taking her on. We go out a lot and we're surprised to see how many servers and restaurant owners don't have their "head on a swivel". Sorry for the lesson in serving, but man, if you're not looking around the restaurant, at the tables, customers, then get out of the serving business. This young woman has all that. She did not stop for one moment. A server headed to a table with their plates, she moved quickly to follow with parmesan (I think, but cheese) and the pepper mill to follow up. She would then clear tables, get other items ready.

There is hope for the service...

Lovely, cozy Italian restaurant in Mont-Tremblant Village. Although the vegan options are not labelled on the menu, our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful, pointing out which dishes were vegan.

For appetizers, we got the mixed salad, mushroom crostini, and the chickpea gnocchi (which was quite unique, and definitely the highlight of the meal!). The spaghetti alla Nerano (a sauce made with pureed zucchini, garlic, pine nuts, and peas) was decent as well. Other vegan main dishes would be penne alla Arrabiata, spaghetti pomodoro, and spaghetti with olive oil and mushrooms.

Portion sizes are filling but not excessively large like at some Italian restaurants. Service is friendly and efficient. Cozy, warm vibe.

This restaurant definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of vegan food in Mont-Tremblant. I loved that I had many tasty options to choose from.

Some constructive feedback: it would be nice to have some vegan protein sources as well, such as tofu, tempeh,...

I have never written a review for a restaurant before on Google, but I felt that this experience deserved a written review. After being served amazing bread and arancini (rice balls) as appetizers, my fiancé and I expected spectacular main courses afterwards. However, our main courses were not at all what one would expect for the price point of the restaurant.

The “Margherita” pizza was nothing at all like a Margherita pizza; however, if this had been labeled on the menu for what it is (a cheese pizza with tomatoes), it would have been good. My fiancé ordered the veal dish which was 39$; the veal itself was overcooked yet somehow the exterior was mushy. The spaghetti tasted and looked like something you would get out of a can, the tomatoes were unseasoned like the rest of the dish and the arugula on the side was soggy. The only saving grace of the veal dish was the Parmesan that was given to us by the...
