Review Summary

Pasta Pooks is widely celebrated for its exceptional, high-quality handmade pasta and creative seasonal menu, with many patrons describing the experience as some of the best Italian dining in Montreal. While the food, including standout dishes like the spinach and ricotta ravioli, gnocchi, and the Philly cheesesteak, receives glowing praise for its flavor and authenticity, the restaurant is polarizing regarding its value proposition. Many guests find the portion sizes to be quite small relative to the price, leading to mixed feelings about the overall cost. The atmosphere is frequently noted as vibrant and cozy, though the limited seating, occasional noise, and crowded conditions can make the space feel cramped or uncomfortable. Although service is often described as friendly, passionate, and professional, there are inconsistent reports regarding wait times, takeout procedures, and occasional lapses in hospitality, leaving some visitors feeling the hype outweighs the actual experience.

Serveuse qui sent la cigarette. Mais surtout, gars qui fait les pates fraiches qui touche son cell a de multiples reprises pendant la preparation. Prennez un cours de contamination croisée. Franchement écoeurant. Cuisine très bonne & bons prix, mais tout de même.

Hands down the best pasta in the city. The friendly staff makes you feel at home instantly, great addition to the neighborhood. The place is continuously evolving their starters & sides, you should try them alongside the pasta.
Great on a date or as a group, & even the individual seating make you part of the atmosphere.

Cent'anni !

4e fois au Pasta Pooks & toujours aussi délicieux & convivial !
Tortellini in brodo meilleur qu'à Bologne. Le bouillon clarifié, la texture des pâtes & la farce étaient exceptionnelles.

Ambiance feutrée, chandelles & game de foot.

Margot notre serveuse était vraiment attachante & bienveillante.
