Aliments Amica

AMAZING store of amazingness with AMAZING staff- and they're dog friendly!

A few weeks ago, we visited this cute Italian spot on Laurier Avenue in downtown Montreal. Although it looks small from the outside, we were blown away by how much this store has to offer.Aliments Amica offers homemade pastas, sauces, and pastries, all made with fresh and natural products. We were able to speak to the workers and we learned that the recipes are all created internally, based on family recipes and traditions. They told us they are committed to making the best products they can with the most authentic and fresh products around.When we stopped by, we tried their bombolonis, cannolis, and tiramisu. All of these pastries were incredibly delicious. The bombolonis were huge and filled with rich hazelnut and custard fillings. They were made right in front of us as we ordered, so we knew they were as fresh as they could be.The pistachio cannolis were also insane. We've never had that flavor before but it has become a new family favorite. Finally, the tiramisu was a delight! So yummy!Although I'm not a huge coffee person, we also tried their in-house coffee brand: Eropa Coffee. I really enjoyed it and would definitely go back for more :)We had a great experience at the restaurant, but our favorite part of this visit was the marinara sauce and gnocchis that we took home with us. Two words: in love! They were both so good and you could really tell the difference from store-bought sauces and pastas.All around, we had an amazing experience here and we can't wait to come back! Hoping that they start doing their take-out gnocchi dishes once covid dies down and summer comes around!

Great find!! Had two espressi’s and one canolo . Will return definitely.

I had the opportunity to stop by the day after it first opened. I made it a point to come try out the food and I wasnt disappointed. It's on a really nice part of Laurier Ave and on this beautiful summer day it was a real treat to get some food and enjoy it outside. I had the eggplant parmisian and it was absolutely delicious! It was very, very tasty. I will definitely come back again to try out the rest of the menu. Maybe next time I'll order take out to have the food at home. 13/10 highly recommend.

Finally a truly authentic Italian place. Their tomato sauce is simply the best out there. Love their pizza too
