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
Great place, great food, great service. Took the stuffed olives & the House Casareccia sauce with home made pasta. Great choice for a dinner with guests at our place!!
