Les avis concernant Aqua E Farina sont très partagés, reflétant des expériences allant de l'éloge enthousiaste à une déception marquée. De nombreux clients considèrent l'établissement comme une perle rare, soulignant la qualité authentique des pâtes faites maison, l'excellence des desserts et une atmosphère chaleureuse idéale pour les sorties en amoureux ou les repas de groupe. À l'inverse, plusieurs convives rapportent des expériences inconstantes, mentionnant des problèmes de lenteur dans le service, un rapport qualité-prix jugé parfois inadéquat et des préoccupations concernant la préparation des plats, notamment des pâtes fades ou trop cuites. Alors que certains clients estiment que les prix sont justifiés par la qualité, d'autres expriment leur frustration face aux coûts et aux délais, suggérant que, bien que le restaurant réussisse à offrir une expérience mémorable à beaucoup, la constance demeure un défi à relever.
Had a wonderful brunch at AquaEFarina. The service was impeccable, our waitress Lauren was delightful. Overall good food & I would recommend the brunch here
We were there for brunch yesterday. The food was excellent! However, it took over an hour to receive our food. We were the first ones in the restaurant by about 15 minutes. Not sure what the problem was.
We decided to try this place for brunch, & I can say it was the best brunch experience on Monkland Ave so far. We were warmly welcomed, & the music was neither dull nor too loud. The menu was well-balanced, catering to most tastes, though I wish they had a kids' menu as well. The quality, taste, & presentation of the dishes were excellent, & the coffee was definitely of Italian quality. Overall, we loved our experience. --- Nous avons décidé de tester cet endroit pour le brunch, & je peux dire que c'était la meilleure expérience de brunch sur l'avenue Monkland jusqu'à présent. Nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement, & la musique n'était ni ennuyeuse ni trop forte. Le menu était bien équilibré & répondait à la plupart des goûts, bien que j'aurais aimé qu'il y ait un menu pour enfants également. La qualité, le goût & la présentation des plats étaient excellents, & le café avait certainement la qualité italienne. Dans l'ensemble, nous avons adoré notre expérience.

It is a nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. Good Italian dishes. Reasonably priced. I've yet to try their brunch menus. I'll probably pay a visit on a Sunday morning.
Was honestly disappointed with the quality of food. Had high hopes reading the reviews but the brunch was mediocre at best & definitely not worth the price. That being said, service was friendly. May return for dinner since their pasta menu looks quite good. Brunch was a mistake. To the restaurant, maybe stick to what you know.
This is such a cute spot & the food is always so fresh. The staff is also so lovely! I recommend both their brunch & their dinner. The portions are also extremely generous!!!
Most underrated brunch spot in the city! Chicken & waffles were my favourite, with the French toast panettone a very close second. Going back to try the homemade pasta- the group next to us ordered from the lunch menu & it looked INCREDIBLE. Amazing experience from food to service, only great things to say about Aqua e Farina!
Our server Emmanuelle was helpful & friendly. The Crostini appetizer was absolutely delicious. The gnocchi was very tasty & a nice portion. The fettucine with shredded braised lamb ragu was also very good; & big enough to take home leftovers. Wines by the glass, one Chianti & one Sangiovese, reasonably priced. We were too full for dessert. We were offered a small Tiramisu to share. Their lunch specials & weekend brunch are very good. This is a lovely local neighborhood restaurant. We highly recommend it.
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
First, I'd like to thank the owner for accommodating my family & I for my 31st birthday. They were serving brunch at the time we wanted to go, but they gladly served us pasta when I called & asked ahead of time. Super grateful for the accommodation! The food was great - everyone left with full bellies! I'd also like to thank our waiter, Billy for being super kind & friendly. Overall, we had a great experience 😊
