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.
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.
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.

Went three times & the food was very good, very well executed & well balanced every time. I also like that the ambiance is quite relaxed. The prices are somewhat high, but they remain acceptable considering the quality. I've had bitter tasting bolognese & poorly cooked pastas for the same price in other Italian restaurants, but not here so that's great!
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.
This place is sort of hit or miss. I've been on some evenings where the pasta was not only generous in portion size but also delicious 10/10 taste wise & worth what you pay for. & I've also been other nights & been really dissapointed with the taste, quality, & size... if it was consistently good, I'd give it 5 stars
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.
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
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.
