Le service n'était pas professionnel & les trois plats de pâtes que nous avons essayés étaient ordinaires.

Les plats sont bons, mais chers pour les quantités, & l'espace est un peu petit.

Such a great hole-in-the-wall sort of restaurant. They have a limited menu & it really allows skill to shine. Their semolina pasta was perfectly bouncy & the white ragu was delicious. The raviolo pasta was beautiful - thin pasta, stuffed full, with a lovely sage sauce. The service was also so lovely, one of the waitresses sat down to explain various dishes to us which helped a lot! If I lived in Montreal, you'd see me here weekly.

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.

Vraiment très bonne bouffe. Le cheesesteak est absolument décadent.

BEST pasta in Montreal hands down. The rest of the menu is also delicious & creative.

Finally checked out Pasta Pooks & it's a really solid spot. The handmade pasta is fantastic & the restaurant has a super fun, lively energy.

That said, it is definitely on the pricier side for the portion sizes, & the space is tiny so it gets pretty loud. Overall, it's amazing food & a cool atmosphere-just expect a premium price tag for a casual meal. Definitely worth checking out!

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.
