Wienstein & Gavino's, Italian restaurant on Crescent Street, Montreal, Canada
Wienstein & Gavino's is an Italian restaurant on Crescent Street in downtown Montreal, spread across three floors with an open kitchen that guests can see from the dining area. The restaurant also has an outdoor terrace and serves pasta made fresh on the premises each day.
The restaurant opened in the mid-1990s, at a time when Crescent Street was becoming a go-to spot for dining out in Montreal. A renovation carried out in 2013 brought changes to the kitchen setup and the way the space functions for guests.
Crescent Street, where the restaurant sits, is one of downtown Montreal's most social streets, known for its mix of bars and restaurants. The multi-level layout means guests on each floor get a slightly different experience of the same evening.
The restaurant is open daily and covers lunch, dinner, and late-night meals, so timing is flexible for most visitors. Booking in advance is a good idea, especially on weekends, as the place tends to fill up across all three floors.
The fresh pasta is made in a dedicated station inside the restaurant that guests can watch from their tables, thanks to the open kitchen layout. This means the pasta served at dinner is made the same day, not brought in from outside.
