Mundo Trattoria

17003 Route Transcanadienne, Kirkland

Upscale Italian trattoria tucked into the Piazza Azzurri plaza at Saint-Charles and the 40, run by lifelong friends Johnny and Julian, whose fathers opened the original restaurant together — four decades of family history behind the room. Handmade pastas (pappardelle ai funghi, strozzapreti ragù di manzo) and a table d'hôte that changes often; a go-to for anniversaries and confirmations on the West Island. 4.6 stars on Google, 1,000+ five-star reviews cited on the operator's own site.
