ETNA PASTIFICIO

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.

The BEST fresh pasta in the city. The lady who owns it is so lovely. Great selection of wine too.

This pasta shop mainly sells fresh handmade pasta, but it offers a cooked menu in-store during weekdays at noon, serving lunch for only 2 hours, making it quite a challenge to get😂

I ordered the meat pasta & pesto pasta. The taste is really close to that of local Italian cuisine! (The first & third items on the menu in picture four)

The portion of pasta is not too large, & the accompanying sauce doesn't have an excessive amount of cheese, avoiding greasiness. Although the dining environment isn't very fancy, the overall cleanliness & service are quite good 😌

There are red wines available in the shop, which you can order by the glass or buy a whole bottle.

The freshest pasta I've had in ages. Delicious sauces, excellent organic wines. All at great prices. Just a tiny shop but the decor & huge windows to enjoy passers-by added to the fun. Great staff! All women?

Absolute little gem! Delicious well-made pastas to cook at home or dine-in for lunch, & great wine & cider selection (one of the only storefronts you can buy Revel cider in Montreal). My favourite pastificio in the city, give them a visit!

Fantastic handmade pasta. Stuffed, long, short, shaped, gnocchi...they are all fantastic. I like that some of the stuffed pastas are seasonally flavoured. Flavours in general are traditional yet original. High quality ingredients, for sure.

Nice wine selection to spoil yourself on. Staff are friendly & passionate.

I maybe just found heaven?
