Review Summary

Aqua E Farina is described as a cozy, romantic spot offering authentic Italian cooking with fresh, flavorful dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. Diners frequently praise standout pastas and classics such as burrata, lasagna, calamari, and the option to customize pasta, along with strong brunch and dinner experiences and good value for quality. Service is noted as warm and attentive on many visits, though some reviews report slower or erratic service on busy nights and occasional misses like drinks or plates arriving late. The setting, including a terrace and a quiet neighborhood vibe, adds to the charm, and desserts like tiramisu and cannoli are often highlighted, with a solid wine list. A few accounts mention concerns about price or portion sizes and one calls the place the best Italian restaurant in Montreal, but the overall impression is that Aqua E Farina is a well loved option for pasta lovers, best enjoyed for the atmosphere and the pasta, with caution about peak time pacing and pricing.

Kudos to the chef! For lunch at AF I tried the fried oyster mushroom sandwich & it was outstanding. Came with a tasty salad. The tower of a sandwich must be eaten with fork & knife because it's about 5' tall. Now I understand why they are called Oyster mushrooms... tasted a little like fried oysters.
Delicious & a very good value these days for a great meatless meal ($21) Sorry I didn't take a photo of this beautiful dish.

I just ordered the aglio e olio & ceaser salad from Uber eats. Pasta was good abit overcooked. Very very disappointed that the ceaser salad came with a big peace of some sort of bacon. I don't eat bacon & the ingredient list didn't mention it. $22 in the garbage

I tried Aqua E Farina once, I liked the atmosphere & the wall paintings there, taking you to Italy & the past. They have good Italian dishes. I took gluten free gnocchi. It was good but a bit greasy for me. My friend took Caesar salad & a soup (can't recall its name) & they were tasty. The waiter was nice. All in all my experience was good. Go & give it a try as I saw they have many interesting Italian dishes😊

Pleasant neighborhood restaurant. Great service & good food. Arancini, burata salad & chicken parmigiana were spot on.

Tout était très bon. Les Polpettes, la salade césar & les pâtes. Surtout, je veux souligner le service impeccable de Amir, il a été aux petits soins avec nous & très professionnel. Merci, on reviendra 🫶

Cute place. We ordered the fried bocconcini & Caesar salad as appetizers, both were delicious. Mushroom tagliatelle was AMAZING. Fresh & not too heavy. The service was very slow though. Definitely not a place to go if you're in a rush. Overall a good experience.
