Homey atmosphere & nice staff. Always excited to try different dishes & pastas. Tiramisu was well-balanced & delicious. Safe place to visit on any occasion & try any dish.

Large seating area, plenty of street parking nearby. Small store connected to restaurant selling pastas, meats, & other delights.

Good food & atmosphere! It was very cozy & homemade food-like dishes. I really like the lasagna with the generous amount of cheese!! Worth dropping by!

We came as a group of 11 people. I was skeptical on whether they would be able to accommodate us, but it was perfect. The server made us feel welcome & even brought us a special hot sauce as we are hot sauce fanatics. All our dishes were tasty. The prices were very fair considering the portion size. The ambiance was beautiful, a bit retro & definitely good for pictures. Overall a really good experience, will definitely be coming back. Edit: Went back with a group of 15. The restaurant was super accomodating eventhough it was full & there was only one server. Their pasta is delicious !

FR: Expérience exceptionnelle chez Pasta Casareccia. Premièrement le service: nous étions 8 personnes pour dîner, étant un grand groupe, nous avons déjà connu des expériences compliquée où il était difficile de nous placer dans le restaurant. Ici, le personnel s'est démené pour nous trouver une place, à l'extérieur en plus, pour que nous puissions passer un bon moment tous ensemble. De plus, notre serveur ( j'ai oublié son nom mais il était étudiant à McGill University) était d'une gentillesse extraordinaire. Les plats principaux était gourmàds & parfaitement assaisonnés. Beaucoup de qualité dans les choix des produits & cela se ressent dans les plats. Les desserts étaient exquis! Beaucoup de générosité & de service dans ce restaurant que je ne peux que recommander !! EN: Exceptional experience at Pasta Casareccia. First of all, the service: we were 8 people for dinner, & being a large group, we've already had complicated experiences where it was difficult to find a place for us in the restaurant. Here, the staff went out of their way to find us a seat, outside no less, so that we could all have a good time together. What's more, our waiter (I forget his name, but he was a student at McGill University) was extraordinarily kind. The main courses were gourmet & perfectly seasoned. There was a lot of quality in the choice of products, & it showed in the dishes. The desserts were exquisite! Great generosity & service in this restaurant, which I recommend !

This has to be one of the best Italian restaurants in Montreal. It's been located on Sherbrooke Street in NDG for decades & I've been going there with friends for a very long time. It's a real treat. We always order different dishes each time we go &, each time we go, the way the food was prepared offered a really pleasingculinary experience. Perhaps what I'm about to say is the same for all high-end restaurants: when the waiter describes the various chef's specialties for the evening, the decision to choose one over the other is so difficult! They always sound so good. &.... I've not been disappointed.

So this place has been there for years & I have been a long time patron to be clear, so why 4 star instead of 5 on the food & 3 stars on atmosphere? I have tried numerous dishes here including the chicken parmigiana & well, some dishes just did not meet a great level of satisfaction to say the least. However, they also have some wonderful dishes such as one of the best Lasagna Bolognese, bruschetta, gnocchi with airboats sauce, spaghetti & meat or marinara sauce, Cannelloni with ricotta & spinach, Stracciatella soup, Polpette (but they are too expensive & quite small), vinaigrette salade & they also have fantastic fresh bread in the table too. Now, I may be fussy due to my culinary background so take this with a grain of salt in that you may like the dishes I didn't. But one this is sure, most restaurants don't have every dish a rockstar hence 4 stars. Interior is average & likely not a first date as it does not impress, but it's clean & lovely all the same & I enjoy the atmosphere for a quick family or early meal. Service is always good!

We drive by this restaurant often & decided to go based on positive reviews on Google. Review in a nut-shell is: school cafeteria level food for $200 for family of three. Would have been acceptable had it been priced at $100. Now for the details: Restaurant is a family restaurant established 40 years ago or so. Decor is reminiscent of a American dinner with vinyl banquettes, art deco light fixtures, small tables with paper covers. They have a fridge with counter to buy ready made meals, pastries, Italian sausages & cheeses. We liked the vibe & no-fuss decor. Service was acceptable considering the atmosphere. The food was of a level that one would be served as a school meal. For appetizers we ordered caprese salad & bruscheta, good old iItalian stalwarts. The bruscheta was sliced untoasted bread served in a basket with a ramekin of confi'd small tomatoes with unpitted olives which you had to assemble yourself; image the untoasted bread becoming soggy with the whole tomatoes bursting into juice. The caprese was also served with confi'd tomatoes in a ramekin with the mozzarella sprinkled with a few shred of basil. I regret not having taking pictures to illustrate that sorry sight. The meals were pasta dishes & chicken parmigiana. Presentation was unappealing & sloppy, the ingredients in the pasta indecipherable &, surprisingly in a place that sells fresh pasta, the pasta was overcooked & mushy. Remember these $12 school meals with the stale bread? Those are them. Apparently the biggest crowd pleaser is the tiramisu & that was not available at 6PM on a Friday. You got the picture?
