A neighbourhood bar apéritif offering Mediterranean dishes with fresh, locally sourced ingredients alongside a revolving selection of privately imported wine.
ETNA PASTIFICIO is described as a charming, intimate pasta shop that specializes in handmade, high quality pastas. Reviews praise pasta that is soft, silky and full of soul, tasting something like Italy itself, with many enjoying the fresh pasta being crafted in front of them and a simple but well executed menu for dine in. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with friendly staff, and there is a small wine selection that enhances the experience. The space is very small and seating can feel cramped, and lunch service is limited to certain weekday hours, which can make it hard to dine there during work days. The shop also offers fresh pasta by the kilogram or frozen options and a daily specials counter for take away or lunch, with some dishes ready to eat on site and others to bring home. Overall, the quality and passion come through in both pasta and sauces, making it a standout for pasta lovers, albeit with a higher price point.
Ces pâtes faites à la main sont tout simplement délicieuses! Parmi les meilleures que j'ai mangées ! Le service est toujours chaleureux, attentionné & très sympathique. Une adresse incontournable dans le quartier.
Oh man, where do I start hahaha? There are restaurants, then, there are pasta stores, & then, there is Etna.
We moved to this neighborhood in July 2025. Having lived in Rome, Italy for the past 10 years, we were looking for a place that would resemble a real Italian Pastificio (fresh pasta store). & oh man, did we find one :)
Etna-by far-is the best place (not only in Villeray district) in town for fresh, homemade pasta. Not only can you buy pasta by weight & cook it at home, but you can also have a wonderful lunch on the spot. Prepared by Claudia & Sergio - the owners. Lunchtime though, you have to be there early, cause it's extremely popular in the hood, & places are limited.
I strongly recommend following Etna on Instagram to stay up to date with daily specials.
Whether you're an omnivore, vegetarian or vegan, there's always something for you. Ragu, pesto, focaccia, tiramisu, wine, awesome company, service... Mamma mia! Don't wait! Look them up & try them, you won't regret it.

I love it here🧡🤍🍴!! Came at the last minute for the special de la semaine & literally watched the menu change to the next week while I was eating haha
I love the cozy & welcoming vibe here too, came alone & felt super comfortable. I'll be back definitely:)
Quina gran troballa pel nostre últim dia a Montreal!
Local on venen pasta fresca feta per ells, més tots els ingredients que necessitis per fer el teu plat. Si no tens temps o ganes, també pots comprar les salses fetes.
Vam tenir la sort d'arribar just a les 13:59 per poder dinar allà mateix, vam provar els 4 plats de la carta i eren tots ESPECTACULARS, feia temps que no trobava un lloc on fessin tant bé la pasta!
A més, la parella propietaria són absolutament encantadors, acabant de fer l'experiència genial.
Clàudia, Sergio, felicitats pel que feu i per com ho feu.
Ens veiem segur quan tornem a visitar Montreal!
Un endroit absolument exceptionnel.
Je suis allée près d'une dizaine de fois pour acheter des pâtes fraîches, & quelques fois de la sauce en bonus, & j'ai toujours reçu un service convivial & agréable, c'est un vrai bonheur d'entrer chez Etna, & bien sûr les pâtes & les sauces sont absolument délectables.
Je recommande fortement cet endroit du quartier Villeray!
we had such a wonderful time at Etna. my wife & I went for lunch there with our 8 month old baby. the pasta was delicious & the owners were super friendly & welcoming. very good vibes! we can't wait to go back! highly recommended
You can feel the love in every bite at Pastificio Etna. The pasta is clearly handmade with care - soft, silky, & full of soul. It tastes like something straight out of Italy . Watching them craft it fresh right in front of you makes the whole experience even better. Simple, honest, & absolutely unforgettable.
Huuuuum! Pâtes fraîches goûteuses, al dente & succulentes. Sauce aux 3 viandes (ragoût) incroyable. Très bon verre de vin. Bel accueil, bonne musique. Très très petit endroit. 10 places maximum. J'y reviendrai pour y acheter des pâtes pour la maison ou pour manger sur place.♥?
Excellent endroit pour manger ou acheter des pâtes fraîches de qualité. Carte pour manger sur place minimaliste mais totalement maîtrisée & assumée.
A recommander absolument.
Etna is a charming, low-key, humble pasta shop that specializes in home-made, high quality pastas. You can buy them fresh by the kilogram or opt for frozen options as well. They are a bit pricey but the quality is top notch! My favourite is their lunch service where they serve cooked pasta with their selected menu & they always have a special dish of the week. However, the lunch service only operates for 2 hours from 12-2 pm on Monday-Friday which makes it extremely difficult to dine there when you're working 🥲. The seating area is quite limited & it can feel quite cramped as well. This is the reason I took off one star for that however, if you're on vacation & live in the area, the lunch service is absolutely amazing & delicious!
