We visited Aqua E Farina for dinner on August 8, with a 6:30 p.m. reservation, & from the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a great experience.
The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It's spotless, thoughtfully decorated, & has a warm, inviting atmosphere. We were greeted so warmly by the staff, which immediately made us feel welcome.
A special thank you to our server, Luna, who was genuinely fantastic. She was friendly, personable, & incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. We had a chance to chat throughout the evening, & her recommendations were spot on. Service like hers truly elevates the entire dining experience.
The food was outstanding.
My partner ordered the ravioli, & it was cooked perfectly. The cheese filling was soft, rich, & delicate, the pasta was perfectly al dente, & the sauce-to-pasta ratio was exactly right. It was also beautifully plated.
We started with the calamari, which was one of the highlights of the meal. It was crispy, well-seasoned, & the portion was surprisingly generous.
I ordered the lamb ragù pasta, & it was exceptional. The pasta was cooked perfectly, & the lamb was incredibly flavorful without being heavy, greasy, or oily. Every bite was well balanced, & the quality far exceeded the price. It was one of those dishes that leaves a lasting impression.
Overall, this was an amazing dining experience from start to finish. The staff are welcoming, the prices are very fair, & the portions are generous. You'll leave feeling full, happy, & already looking forward to your next visit.
We'll absolutely be back, & I highly recommend Aqua E Farina to anyone looking for authentic Italian food & outstanding hospitality. Five stars all the way.
Service exécrable. Lent & on a dû signaler le serveur plusieurs fois pour commander.
Les plats sortent rapidement.
J'ai pris un spaghetti carbonara. Horrible. Les oeufs étaient brûlés & brouillés. On est loin d'une sauce onctueuse & crémeuse.
Leur salade César est très bien mais copieuse pour une entrée.
Si vous êtes du coin, allez plutôt chez Pasta Casa Recchia.
De plus, un des serveur ne parle pas français & à peine anglais.

Service is a very bad joke.
It is slow & we had to wave at the waiter many times to get noticed & order.
The food itself came out fast, so that's a plus.
I took the spaghetti carbonara. It was a disaster. The eggs were not only scrambled but spots on them were burnt. The sauce was nothing close to creamy as it should be.
A positive note le was the Ceasar salad. Quite good, but it was huge, even as an appetizer.
If you are from the neighborhood, go to Pasta Casa Recchia.
Furthermore, one of the waiter did not speak French, & barely English.
This place was amazing!!!! The appetizers were absolutely phenomenal. The pasta was fresh & to die for. The waitresses was amazing & polite. The ambiance was perfect. The Lattes were great!!! The desserts were fabulous... this place is a hidden gem!!! If youre looking for some good reasonably priced food GO HERE yummmmmm. 10/10
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!
Quaint & romantic spot for authentic Italian food, fresh & flavorful.
We went for Valentines & there was a Table d'hôte spécial. We opted for À la carte. Excellent Burrata. Excellent Lasagna. Chicken parm was also cooked to perfection. & generous portion meals.
The service was mediocre, busy night certainly due to the event. Not sure if typical or not. But waitress never brought us our drinks or sharing plates. Still very welcoming & kind however.
I love that you can make your own pasta dishes, everything was pleasant to the palate , very authentic & great atmosphere, a must try if you enjoy pasta dishes
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.
