What a fun time! Light hearted & dedicated staff, amazing wines & proper stemware to accompany them, plus just damn tasty food. Best pasta we had this trip to Mtl.

A little disappointing, decent pasta but so much butter, not a great space. Pretty average wine for 17$ per glass.

Another Instagram fraud.

'Best pasta in Montreal'? Not even close. This place is all hype, zero substance.
The ricotta & spinach ravioli had about as much ricotta as a green juice. It was basically spinach wrapped in dough. Bland, unbalanced, & honestly embarrassing for a dish that simple. This is entry level pasta & they still managed to miss.
The fennel salad was completely destroyed by a heavy, confused dressing that overpowered everything. No finesse, no restraint, just a mess on a plate.
Then you look at the menu & it all makes sense. Four mains & a wine list that reads like a novel. Over 200 bottles. Priorities are clearly not in the kitchen.
I keep seeing people call this place'the best.' Compared to what, airport food?
At best, it is a 2.5 on a generous day. Save your money & go somewhere that actually knows how to cook pasta.

The food is delicious. Pasta as it would be in a very good trattoria in Italy. What does not work at all is the price, that is outrageous. 55 dollars (with taxtes & tip) for a bowl of ricotta-spinach ravioli & a tiny glass of natural wine, you know the one that looks like pineapple juice & tastes worse. In fact the wine list is insanely priced & utterly hip, as if this was a Michelin-starred joint, run by a dude fom Williamsburg. In fact you just ate at the bar, perched on a stool, & looking at the wall. Avoid the place, save some money & try to visit Bologna instead.

We went yesterday to try Pasta Pooks out after seeing all the social media hype, & we can confirm that it's just that, hype. Quite expensive for the portion size whether it be the appetizers or the pasta. We ordered 2 appetizers (very tiny portions, 20$ minuscule strachiatela with veggies), 1 pasta, which was actually good, just quite small, & its pasta... which is very cheap, & still the portion served was disappointing.

The very small glass of wine was $17 dollars (plus tax) & we finished the night hungry, definitely it was more hype & snd did not live to our expectations.

It feels like they're trying to live off the hype, & not have any returning customers. 3 stars because the pasta was actually good.

You cannot justify those prices when the portions are minuscule, there's not even a nice view, or you're not in a highly touristy area.

This is the first bad review I have had to write, which says a lot

Fine but not nearly what I was expecting. It's overhyped & overpriced in my opinion. Expensive, small portions, few options, mid service, & the pasta was definitely not mind blowing. Personally I would go elsewhere in the neighbourhood if you just want pasta & a glass of wine.
