I find Montreal Italian distinct from Italian American in Manhattan, Italian in Manhattan, Italian in Toronto and Italian in different parts of Italy.
I know Erica spends a lot of time in Italy and in NYC. If she’s interested in Montreal-style traditional or modern Italian, I think she will find it distinct from what is available in NYC.
I am a fan of chefs Stefano Faita and Michele Forgione.
I also like Joe Mercuri’s cooking, but I don’t know what he is up to these days.
