Overall Pasta Pooks is widely praised for fresh handmade pasta and bold flavors, with standout dishes such as ravioli, gnocchi and casoncelli mantovani, and desserts like tiramisu and panna cotta earning high marks. Many reviews note that portions are small for the price and the overall cost can feel steep, especially given limited seating and a busy, sometimes loud, intimate setting. Service is often described as friendly and attentive with good wine knowledge, though a few visits mention slower or inconsistent service and occasional reservation hiccups. Taken together, Pasta Pooks is regarded as one of the top spots for pasta in the city and a must try for pasta lovers, albeit with the caveat that the hype comes with premium pricing and potentially cramped space.
The kind of pasta that makes you question everything you thought you knew about pasta. Somehow both familiar & totally new-like pasta déjà vu in the best way. The vibe? Impeccably cool. The service? Warmer than a bowl of fresh tagliatelle. I left full, happy, & wondering if I should start dressing better.

Les pâtes étaient plus qu'exquises. Sans contredit dans les meilleures mangées à Montréal! Je recommande la salade de fenouil pour un peu de fraicheur.
À noter que pour l'instant, la salle est minuscule & un peu chaotique. Ce n'est pas un endroit où on peut prendre son temps.
Absolument délicieux & d'une qualité remarquable🤌🏽
Les pâtes sont faites maison, parfaitement préparées, avec des ingrédients frais & savoureux, le cheese steak sandwich simplement wow. On sent tout de suite le souci du détail & de la qualité dans chaque assiette. Une magnifique découverte!
What an amazing restaurant ! Everything on the menu is delicious & by far the best pasta I've ever had ! & the staff is amazing ! Very friendly & the service is tip notch 👌🏽 amazing wine list as well ! I definitely recommend this to everyone, you won't be disappointed ! Than you to Martin, Ema & Luca for everything

divine!! definitely the best restaurant i went to on my trip to montreal. the owner was so sweet & gave us so many good recommendations for the city, & they make a MEAN ravioli!!!!!
Tout était excellent! Les pâtes étaient magiques & incroyablement fraîches. On a hâte de retourner en essayer d'autres. Elles étaient bien accompagnées avec du pain maison & une salade de fenouil.
La liste de vin est exhaustive & offre plusieurs options au verre. La panna cotta au citron a bien clos le souper & a dépassé nos attentes.
L'ambiance était décontractée & le service était attentionné & de grande qualité. À bientôt!
