In Italian, prezzemolo<\/em> means parsley. Since we\u2019re in Montreal, we cut it in two to give it a local accent: Prezze<\/em>, like the French \u201cpress\u00e9\u201d (in a hurry), and Mollo<\/em>, like the Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois \u201cvas-y mollo\u201d (take it easy).<\/p>

A quick lunch at noon, an aperitivo that lingers into the evening: that\u2019s exactly the spirit of the place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

And the little face on our glasses, in our logo and even on the paintings on our walls? Look closely: it\u2019s an O, an L and an O, the \u201colo\u201d in prezzemolo<\/em>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Prezze Mollo is, first and foremost, the story of a couple: Catherine Caron and Julien Messier-Cousineau. In life as in the kitchen, we share the same love of Italian food, the kind that comforts, that\u2019s meant to be shared and that brings people together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For both of us, Italian food has always been the ultimate comfort food: fresh, balanced, generous. We wanted to pay tribute to it in our own way, with fresh pasta made every day, homemade sauces and focaccia, and carefully crafted cocktails.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Eating out keeps getting more expensive. Yet eating well and being well looked after should remain an affordable pleasure. That\u2019s why we wanted a place that\u2019s accessible, where you can drop in for a quick lunch, an after-work aperitivo or a long dinner with friends, without a second thought.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Beyond what\u2019s on the plate, what matters most to us is hospitality. We wanted service that\u2019s friendly, family-style and warm, like when you have people over at home. Here, we know our regulars by name, we take the time to recommend a wine, and we love watching tables grow as more friends join in.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Opened in spring 2025 in the east end of Mile End, Prezze Mollo started out as an Italian lunch spot before opening its doors in the evening a few months later.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
