About

Pasta Pooks serves handmade pasta shaped by traditional techniques and seasonal ingredients. The kitchen produces delicate ravioli and tender gnocchi that carry authentic flavors in every bite. Each bowl relies on fresh components to define the character of the preparations. The interior space remains compact, creating a sensory environment that centers entirely on the warmth of the food. These dishes provide a focused exploration of texture and flavor, where the natural quality of the dough remains the primary feature of the meal. Simple preparation methods ensure the integrity of every noodle, providing a direct connection to the kitchen's approach to scratch-made staples.

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.

Accueil rapide, service souriant, efficace & sympathique, joli petit restaurant simple & confortable, plats savoureux ( comme les délicieux ravioles aux champignons mais 30$ pour 6 ravioles c'est quand même cher )
d'où la note globale 4.
Nous reviendrons mais pas tout de suite.
Cette table reste une bonne adresse mais je n'ai pas été renversée comme d'autres convives qui ont laissé des commentaires dythirambiques.

Went with my pregnant wife to try out their pasta. We ordered only a main course & stayed with water. Following this order it seemed like we had been forgotten. I asked mid dinner for some bread, I had to ask twice because even after waiting 15 minutes it still wasn't there. We had to ask for refill of water, which only happened once I paid the bill. Throughout the meal I had to use our own bottle of water to refill my pregnant wife's glass, while I remained with an empty glass.

The waitress didn't even seemed that busy & this clearly was an example of a waiter/tress that prioritize customers that order alot over other customers.

At the end of the meal, when I paid, I was criticized by said server for asking twice for the bread, which ended up being charged. Being criticized by staff over the fact that I had to ask twice for bread is absolutely unacceptable. (If I have to ask twice, in an italian restaurant, for bread then theres a problem.)

Tipping options also start at 18% but you can still decided to opt for an amount which I did. I left 11% just so the waitress wouldnt be losing money over my table but that was it. After being criticized I really felt like leaving nothing.
Only reason why I gave 1 star was because of the pasta, which albeit the small size (hence why we asked for bread mid course), were good.

Overall 1/5. Will not come again & wont recommend.

Holy Fooks! The pasta is on a different level here! Italian New Yorkers come here to learn how to make pasta! Incredible homemade pasta! The Spaghettoni alla Gricia gave me goosebumps! 2nd time here & will be coming back whenever I want pasta in Montreal!

La nourriture est toujours excellente avec des plats saisonniers. Margaux (ou Margot ?) donne aussi un service réellement exceptionnel. De bonnes recommandations & surtout très gentille. Ils ont aussi une carte des vins très intéressante.
