Etna Pastificio est une adresse charmante et discrète, spécialisée dans les pâtes fraîches faites maison de haute qualité, vendues au kilogramme ou disponibles en options surgelées; elle est considérée comme incontournable du quartier, séduisant par son ambiance chaleureuse et le service convivial, tandis que les plats du jour et les options comme ragù, pesto, focaccia et tiramisu démontrent une maîtrise artisanale; on peut manger sur place ou acheter des pâtes et des sauces à emporter, et une sélection de vins accompagne le tout; malgré un espace restreint et des places limitées, l'ensemble laisse l'impression d'un savoir-faire authentique et d'un vrai plaisir.
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.

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.
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!

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.
I was just passing by & I saw this pasta shop... I bought some fresh mafaldine for supper, my kids & I loved it, amazing taste & texture! Highly recommend you try it 😋

Heard about this place & decided to walk in & see what the buzz was about. Claudia was extremely helpful in helping us pick which pasta & sauce would go well together. Had the balanzoni with Al limone sauce & I must say it might be one of the best pastas I've ever had. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh homemade pasta & sauces.
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?
