About

Impasto focuses on the meticulous production of authentic Italian pasta dishes utilizing traditional techniques and high quality seasonal ingredients. The menu showcases a rotation of handmade shapes and textures, ranging from delicate stuffed varieties to robust, flour-dusted strands served with rich, slow-simmered sauces. Every plate emphasizes the structural integrity of the noodle as the primary element of the composition, reflecting a commitment to regional culinary heritage. The environment features an open aesthetic that allows for a clear view of the preparation process, underscoring the raw mechanical skill involved in pasta assembly. Visitors encounter a direct, unadorned presentation where the intensity of flavor and the precise consistency of the dough remain the central objectives. This approach ensures that the fundamental principles of Italian carbohydrate preparation are executed with consistent technical accuracy.

I was visiting friends in Montreal & they suggested this restaurant. Though the space is very small, everything about it was worth the five stars I've given it! The food, & the service, could not have been better! Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. The dishes he suggested were well-prepared & well presented.. One of the women in our party is vegetarian & she found multiple dishes to choose from. I highly recommend this restaurant.

WOW! The food here was absolutely delicious! We started with a few craft cocktails, I had the lemon one, it was refreshing & light. As a starter we had the Burrata, & what a surprise...served with a pistachio citron sauce that was incredible! Something very different than the usual Burrata dish. The sauce was soo tasty we were fighting over the last swipe with Foccia. For dinner I had the Branzino & my friend had the calamari with pasta dish. Both were fantastic! The fish was light, a little crispy & flavorful. Well balanced with the beurre blanc & the caviar was a nice touch, not overwhelming. The calamari was the freshest I have ever eaten. Soft, flavorful, not chewy in the slightest. We loved EVERY bite! Our waiter was attentive & very charming. He took great care of us. Highly recommend this place.

Après un début prometteur (Focaccia avec Apérol & Carpaccio de boeuf délicieux) , la déception suit avec le plat principal. Les côtelettes d'agneau n' étaient que de la graisse autour de l'os alors que bar bien préparé & bien présenté se mangeait en deux bouchées. Ces deux plats ne justifiaient nullement le prix demandé.
