L'artisan de la pasta is praised for authentic Italian cooking with fresh, house-made pasta and a warm, family-like atmosphere. Dishes such as homemade cavatelli with wild mushrooms and fettuccine with ragù frequently appear as standouts, along with desserts like cheesecake described as exceptional, and the bread and other components are noted for quality. The weekly menu changes keep the offerings lively and the kitchen's pride in ingredients shines through, with reviews highlighting attentive, personal service and the option to bring your own wine. Some remarks mention higher prices and occasional inconsistencies between sauces, fillings, and pasta, and a few note the LaSalle location is a bit out of the way, but overall the restaurant is regarded as a hidden gem in Montreal and well worth a visit. Many readers say they would return to explore new dishes and desserts, and to experience the cozy, welcoming ambiance and the evident passion behind the food.
Upon entering the restaurant Alexandro greeted us by name & made us feel at home. The decor is clean & warm. The ambiance is perfect for a date night or a night out with friends.
Sevice was on point did not feel rushed did not have to request anything. Alexandro explained the menu in detail & checked in on us periodically throughout the evening.
The food was spectacular
Deconstructed Cesar salad & eggplant involtini stuffed with fior di latte mozzarella & porchetta served with bechamel sauce as entrees.
Tagliatelle with mixed wild mushrooms & fresh artichokes & Ravioli stuffed with lobster served with cherry tomatoes & zucchini as main meal.
Homemade pasta, bread & breadsticks
Cheescake with fresh fruit as dessert.
The gem: it is a bring your own wine, so you can pair your own meal.
Will definitely be going back
I got to say that this Italian little place has good food. Family owned & every week they change their menu. We liked the food service & you feel like home from home with fresh Italian pasta. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, decorated with charming rustic elements that reflect the essence of Italy. Each dish is made with love & care, using ingredients sourced from local farms & markets. The staff is friendly & attentive, always ready to offer recommendations based on seasonal specials. One of our favorites was the handmade lobster ravioli. We where full & never tride there home made cheese cake , next time, Whether you're looking for a casual dinner or a special celebration, this place truly captures the heart of Italian cuisine.

I might be one of the last of lasallers to discover this wonderful restaurant, but I can't help but share my experience! Recently, we visited L'artisan de la Pasta for a mini date aka birthday celebration. This charming, family-friendly spot instantly made us feel at home. Our server was incredibly pleasant, adding to the warm atmosphere. I can confidently say that the homemade pasta at L'artisan de la Pasta is simply out of this world! I was so immersed in the delightful flavors of the pasta, fresh bread, & the overall ambiance that I forgot to take photos, which seems to be a common theme among other reviewers too. If you're looking for a cozy place to enjoy authentic Italian pasta, I highly recommend L'artisan de la Pasta. You won't be disappointed!
