Photo of Restaurant Cappello, a Restaurant in Downtown

Located on the 44th floor of Place Ville-Marie, Cappello brings a steady hand to the downtown Italian brasserie format. The menu leans classic—polpette, vitello tonnato, branzino, profiteroles—but it’s not stuck in nostalgia. Instead, it’s about doing the hits properly: crisp pinsa, well-dressed chicory, mains with restraint, and desserts that don’t overreach. The room balances business lunch and date night without leaning too hard in either direction, and the energy skews warm rather than buttoned-up. It’s a downtown spot that knows its audience, and respects the appetite.
