Spuntino

The team behind Ristorante Donato opened this Italian café-cocktail bar in Westmount where espresso mornings slide into spritz-filled nights. The name means "snack" in Italian, and the menu delivers on that promise: handmade pastas, Roman-style pizzas, sandwiches running from breakfast through dinner.

Highlights include prosciutto with whipped ricotta and truffle honey, ravioli di ricotta with tomato sauce, eggplant parmigiana, chicken piccata, seared calamari with lemon and chili. Pizzas feature mortadella with pistachio pesto, speck with marinated artichokes, funghi with pecorino.

Cocktails lean Italian: limoncello martini, Aperol spritz with blood orange, affogato martini with Kahlúa and ice cream. The vibe is spontaneous, unhurried, designed for lingering. No reservations needed—just pull up a chair.
