Impasto's owners, Stefano Faita and Michele Forgione,are bringing their culinary skills to their new pizzeria called GEMA (an acronym for their children's names). The establishment will be serving fresh pizzas and decadent desserts starting this summer!
I had an emergency and was 20 minutes late to pick up my pizza. They made me a brand new pizza because it was cold. Now THATS called customer service! On top of that it’s the BEST pizza in Montreal!
The year 2013 saw the founding of a restaurant empire when seasoned chef Michele Forgione joined forced with TV’s Stefano Faita. The duo’s flagship Little Italy ristorante, Impasto, was shortly followed by GEMA across the street, a Neapolitan-style pizzeria suggesting a seasonal, local-driven menu mostly sourced from nearby Jean-Talon Market. Be sure to check out the ever-changing featured pizza of the month, paying tribute to local culinary influencers.
At Stefano Faita's restaurant, you'll be served a glass of grappa during Pizza Week when you order the special pizza at $15. You can bank on it having fresh toppings sourced from the nearby Jean Talon Market. Hot tip: Don’t miss the opportunity to try the frozen custard dessert!
Another Stefano Faita restaurant on this list? Oh yes! This restaurant is a Little Italy staple – and with good reason. According to many, it’s the best pizza in all of Montreal. Combine this with homemade ice cream and you’ve got a can’t-miss meal. There are other things on the menu, of course, but you come here for these two reasons.
