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.
Amazing cuisine, really excellent chef. Lovely people serving & lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended. The desserts are heavenly. Everything is highest quality, & I am fussy about these things... lots of vegetarian options. Just a cool place all round.
Hidden gem on Monkland! Charming & intimate restaurant with homemade pasta & other fresh, delicious food; lots of appetizing choices; & outstanding, efficient service. Our service from Sarah was exceptionally friendly & helpful. Our group chanced on this restaurant & will definitely return. Highly recommend!
We were a group of four, & while everyone else seemed happy with their meals, I personally found the experience a bit underwhelming. The restaurant came highly recommended, but for me, it didn't quite live up to the hype.
The food was okay overall, but I found it lacking in seasoning & depth. I ordered the lobster pasta, which unfortunately didn't taste fresh, it was dry & had a slightly fishy flavour that was hard to overlook.
That said, our server was great, friendly, attentive, & added a positive touch to the evening. Service definitely stood out, even if the food fell short.
Would I go back? Maybe, but I'd try something different on the menu.

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 !
We had an amazing experience at Aqua E Farina yesterday with a group of seven, & everything from the service to the food was exceptional. The staff were warm, attentive, & made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant has a cozy, inviting atmosphere tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood-definitely a hidden gem.
I ordered the lasagna & honestly, it may have ruined all other lasagnas for me-perfectly layered, rich, & absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group raved about their dishes, & we were impressed by how reasonably priced everything was, especially given the quality. They also have a solid wine & alcohol selection that pairs well with the menu.
Parking is street parking, but it's free & not difficult to find if you're willing to walk a block or two. Totally worth it.
Highly recommend Aqua E Farina for a relaxed, authentic Italian dining experience. We'll definitely be back.
The best Italian resto in Montreal=5⭐️ for sure! 😊 Delicious authentic Italian food, cozy atmosphere & great friendly service by Sara L 😊 I highly recommend Aqua Farina!
Arrived for a rather late lunch but everything was excellent. The service was good, the pasta eas super delish. My wife requires complete gluten free food & they accommodated very well. Small but very quaint, they also have a nice patio outside. Parking could be tricky but likely can find a spot in the residential streets & have a tiny walk. Highly recommended.
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.
I had a very good seafood pasta & ossobuco, both highly recommended. Lasagna is also good but could have more meat in it. Also, desserts could have been better. Overall, the pasta here are fresh & delicious & will be coming back to try more.
