From the moment you walk into the place you are greeted by a friendly face then once you are seated the great service begins. Dominic will have recommendations and believe me he knows what he is talking about. The chef even made sure all was to our liking.
Each bite was absolutely amazing! I can't wait to go back. Absolute must try the dessert and the creamy cold coffee OMG!!! I must also add that the entire staff played an important role in making KESTE one of the best restaurants I have ever been too. Bravo to you all!!!
Loved this place! Yummy food, friendly staff and VERY kid friendly (space for strollers and a change table in the washroom)!!! Also a great place for large groups (perfect for corporate outings) which is hard to find in the M-E if u like decent food! Totally going back!!!
Amazing experience, really deserves its 5-star rating!
The terrasse is a perfect balance of beautiful and cosy, separated from the street with some kind of well-maintained hedge for you to feel some intimacy. The exterior lighting is perfect.
The staff was charming and caring, beyond expectations. Their timing and interactions with us were appreciated.
They serve Italian beers if you are interested to try new tastes (lemon, etc). The menu was interesting too, with the best ever fried calamari we ever had. Excellent ratio of crunchy and soft, with lemon and homemade mayo.
Pizza choices were nice and prices were similar to other pizza places (around 18-26$/pizza). Authentic experience, really loved it, we are going to tell all our friends.
Absolutely loved our night at keste, from the great entrees which are fantastic for sharing (you have to try the octopus and crocchette) to arguably the best Neapolitan pizza in Montreal. Every attention to detail from ingredients to exceptional service and night caps (ask for the grappa camomilla!) A+! Will return
If you want authentic Neapolitan (South Italian) cuisine, this is the place to go.
We had the:
Montanara
Panzerotti
Paccheri with basil pesto and pancetta
Tiramisu
Grappa Cammomilla
Every dish perfectly balanced in flavours where you can really appreciate every single ingredient in the dish and the freshness that it brings.
The service was phenomenal from the waiters to the chef. Chef Gianluca has 30 + years experience in this industry and is the friendliest and most humble person.
Overall really lovely experience tonight. Will continue to back until I’ve tasted everything in the menu (which changes every week lol)!
This place is VERY Italian (most staff and customers are Italians).
I highly suggest taking the polpetta: one huge meatball with satiating marinara sauce.
The Crocchè (mashed taters and cheese croquette) was quite hefty too.
We tried the famous pizza fritta. It was a pretty interesting dish: equally large in size, it's basically a fried calzone. However the fried dough is super light and chewy, not hard and crunchy as I thought (like an empanada).
Overall a good experience with great service.
Lovely Atmosphere and the staff was kind and they were punctual with their service.I loved the crocche that they served us,it was soft and bursting with flavour.
That being said, I do believe that the pizza couldve had more distinct flavours to it.For a restaurant that has pizza as most of its menu,I would've hoped that the pizza had more to it than what I had.
Otherwise, I would definitely recommend investing.

Ordered : Pizza montanara con burrata, O'cuppetiell
-O'cuppetiell (frittata di pasta, arancini, and crocche)
What better way to experience the traditional food from the Italian region of Campania than the o'cupperiell mix appetizer. The frittata di pasta will take back anyone of Italian heritage to a childhood filled with anticipation for the holidays and food prepared by their Nonna.
The crocche which is mashed potato and egg covered in bread crumbs and fried served on the side with a spicy mayonnaise adds the right amount of delicious modernity to this highly recommended dish.
-Montanara con burrata
Fried dough formed in to the traditional neopolitan style pizza; topped with olive oil, fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, and keste's quintessential ingredient: burrata cheese. To the readers unfamiliar with this cheese, it's simply fresh cheese with a soft outer shell filled with a softer, creamier inside; they knew what they were doing when they decided to put their own spin on this traditional fried pizza. Delicious, and savory from beginning to end, this dish needs to be enjoyed with fine company as good glass of wine as good Mediterranean food was intended to. We would not only recommended this dish to the pizza connoisseurs out there but to individuals who live to discover the hidden jewels of traditional cuisine.
Delicious food, cozy ambiance and amazing service. The pizza was just the way I like :). Will definitely be back to try their fried pizza.
