Review Summary

Pasta Pooks is widely celebrated for its exceptional, high-quality handmade pasta and standout dishes like the ricotta and spinach ravioli, gnocchi, and signature tiramisu. Many diners describe it as a premier destination in Montreal for authentic, seasonal Italian cuisine, often praising the vibrant atmosphere, warm service, and thoughtful wine pairings. While some visitors find the restaurant to be on the pricier side with smaller portion sizes, and occasionally note challenges related to the small, loud space or long wait times, the majority of patrons consider the culinary experience to be well worth the visit and frequently return for the heartfelt, top-tier food.

Delicious fresh pasta ! Servings to me could have a little more for $28 a plate & charging for bread to me a no no ! Lesley C a Mtl retired food critic for restaurants said what's with charging for things like that . A freebie goes a long way , & c'mon possible ! Maybe dress up the plates more , maybe then the plates will then look less skimpy . Loved the dishes , that being said !!

Worth the hype! Some of the freshest pasta out there & fillings are fun & flavourful. The braised beef cheek with caramelized onion pasta was unreal!

Truly the most amazing fresh pasta I have ever had. We tried the spinach ravioli & some spiralized type of pasta (forget the name) with mushrooms. Both were unreal!

Small artsy restaurant. Delicious fresh pasta. Seasonal menu. We had the cod as an appetizer. It was light & tasty. We tried all their pastas. Everything was just delicious. Portions were reasonable. The waitress knew the menu well & explained everything to us. It was a very enjoyable meal. I recommend making reservations because this place is very popular & gets full quickly.

The pasta was delicious & fresh. However, it wasn't filling at all for what we paid. We had to go buy a meal elsewhere afterwards.

We've been to'fine dining' many times in the past, however the food was not at the level to justify the cost & lack of food.
