This cozy and homey restaurant can accommodate up to 60 people in their front and back rooms. Their outdoor terrace can hold 20 customers, opened when weather permits. The sounds of local and traditional Italian music fill the air, adding to the authentic theme. Their casual and family-style dinning is comfortable and inviting. The colour palette is a mixture of reds, yellows and black. There is also a vintage “vespa” scooter theme to the place, with black and white pictures adorning the back dinning room.
Reviews for Pasta Casareccia praise authentic Italian flavors and fresh pasta, generous portions, a cozy welcoming vibe, and attentive service, with many calling it a standout Italian option and noting strong lasagna, cannoli, tiramisu, and other classics. Some critics note occasional variability in dish execution, such as overcooked calamari or a penne arrabbiata that lacks depth, as well as pricing that can feel steep, but the overall sentiment remains positive and the restaurant is seen as a reliable, homey choice with dine in, takeout, and outdoor seating.
I had their primavera pasta & cafe crema. The pasta was very good & I would probably get it again. The cafe crema was tasty but it was a small portion for 9$. I probably won't get it again. The pasta was 23$ & you get complimentary bread . Not low but fair. Atmosphere is cozy & there's nice windows. Staff was kind.
Service is amazing but food is so so. I ordered a lemon pasta was so lemony that I couldn't able to eat. My wife order ravioli it was hard so we send it back but we still got charged for it which was little odd instead of being sorry for that they made us pay for it which is fine but they could as a courtesy do not charge us but they did. So will not be coming back here for sure. But our waitress was supper cool & chill.

Great pasta, fresh & authentic, been going here since i was little & it's never failed me!! way better than those gentrified 3 piece ravioli spots. You'll never leave feeling hungry & the food is delicious.
Always a treat to dine here! Haven't been in some time, but the resto's how I remembered! Had the ink pasta seafood dish & it was scrumptious! Gonna make it a point to frequent Pasta Casareeccia more than I have been available.
The lasagna & pasta are the best on Sherbrooke West. An Italian gentleman served us & gave the best suggestions. He was very welcoming, & the place felt cozy.
I ordered lasagna bolognese for 40 persons . The meal was hot & ready to serve . All our guests were well satisfied & loved it.

The pesto-burrata pasta was the only good thing.
Ordered calamari as a starter but it was way over cooked, we couldn't finish the dish. Tried 2 other starters that our friends had ordered as well. It wasn't tasty at all.
A spritzer to drink & 70$ later, it feels a little overpriced for the quantity & food quality. Not on my list of places I'd like to go back to.
The waitress was a little awkward.
Really a very good Italian food... You can find there a great offer of traditional Italian pasta including cacio pepe... also I recomend the porchetta sandwich....

Fresh pasta, Italian cold cuts, imported & domestic Italian cheese. All types of goodies A Must See--An Authentic ITALIAN NATIVITY SCENE CHRISTMAS window display. Over 200 figurines from the Naples area. A Montreal Landmark !!!! Bring your children, there is so much to discover.
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 !
This is a nice local homemade pasta house that had been an NDG staple for many years. We really enjoyed the fresh flavours & home made pasta & sauces. We will return!
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 !

I was there in the back room which was lovely & private for 8 ladies to enjoy. Speaking for myself I found my arribiatta pasta was not spicy & the portion for $17.00 was petit. Others left their salads for the lack of taste. However we had the most amazing server. His name is Adriunos & he was fabulous.. He took care of all our needs. Even when changing or adding to our orders, he didn't get annoyed or flustered. He was an absolute delight. Many thanks to him for being so accommodating. .
Very delicious Italian food with experience over 30 year, a family business through generations. Everything is homemade specially the pasta are delicious. The owner is very friendly. I recommend it 👌
Great food, great service, atmosphere is a retro vibe which you know the food here has to be bussin. I heard the squid ink pasta is also great here so I will come back to give it a try!
Food & service was great. Tried the burrata caprese with beef carpaccio👌. Then had the Rigatoni & burrata pasta 🍝 calamari I wouldn't do again but excited to come back & try the rest. The tiramisu was great as well
