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.

Les pâtes de mon rigatoni étaient trop cuites. La sauce aux tomates n'avait rien d'exceptionnel incitant à finir le plat. Le petit cannoli était coulant mais il avait bon goût.

Favorite Italian place! Their pasta sauce rosée is always delicious & they gracefully offered to add some chicken! In the appetizers, the calamari are always fresh & tasty, coming with a delicious side sauce, I highly recommend !
Also, don't forget to try their tiramisu & canoli, they are to die for !

What a great place. Warm caring & kind. That's what I have to say about the staff & the owners. If you're looking for a nice quint place to have a birthday supper shower & more this is definitely the place. We went to eat there Jan 18 2024. We enjoyed or experience from start to finish rarely have I been to a place where I have eaten fro Start to Finish & loved everything. As I was eating I. Was thinking of the next time I come. The chef is on point. His palette is amazing. Everything that came out of the kitchen tasted delicious. We were there for the special Seafood Menu of the month. A 5 course meal with wine pairing. You definitely get your money's worth. Wow. Price point very good. Quality of food amazing. Service pleasant & friendly. Great family Vibes. Our meal Started with 3 types of oysters 6 in a plate A Seafood stew/soup mussels clams & cod & more. Mmm delicious. Then onto the Fried Tiger shrimp Scallops & Calamari Oh my! served on a avocado sauce that was to die for. A little lemoncello shot to cleanse the palette & onto the pasta. What to say about the pasta dish. Yes Seafood again. Beatiful shrimp & yes I dare say lobster in every bite. Wow wow wow. Every single bite had a little bit of something. Lobster shrimp buttery pasta Wow. Bravo chef. Last but not least dessert. A pastry feuilleté lobster tail filled with creamy filling & a little light lemony cream on the side. With a great cappuccino. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Try it out you will not be disappointed. We will be looking out for the Special Menu events for sure n we're going back to try the Saturday/Sunday Brunch next. Ooh can't wait. Thank you so much for this fabulous dining experience.😍🥰 Wish I could add pictures
