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.

I had to come all the way to Montreal to get the best Italian food I have ever had. The pasta is made fresh. The crostini with ricotta & olive oil drizzled with honey is a great starter. The ravioli was fantastic. The staff was helpful with the menu & they had a sense of humor. Loved this restaurant.

The food was fantastic, but the service did not exist. The music was also way too loud there.

Great place, delicious & generous portions. Priced more than reasonably for the size & quality. Service was slightly on the slow side but courteous. Definitely recommend as one of the top pasta in Montreal.

August 2022 We went for dinner (group of 14) & were so impressed. The staff was amazing & the food was delicious. We had many dietary restrictions including celiac disease, dairy free & allergy to shell fish. The chef was very accommodating & made sure all our dietary needs were met. We will definitely go back next time we are in Montreal!
