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.

Je suis un gros fan du Pasta Pooks & un client qui vient souvent ! Leur pâtes sont exceptionnel , unique & les mieux travaillé pour moi de Montréal, mais sérieusement le PhillyCheese Steak est vraiment à travaillé. Trop épicé, manque de fromage, une viande avec moins de nerf, on goute juste le spicy & les graines de sésames. Je crois que y'a du potentiel par contre.

Une expérience complètement WOW chez Pastas Pooks.

On vient de Québec & on avait entendu parler de cet endroit , on a décidé d'y arrêter juste avant de reprendre la route… & honnêtement, ça valait absolument le détour.

Dès qu'on entre, on sent que ce n'est pas un resto comme les autres. Le service est tout simplement hallucinant 👏 le propriétaire lui-même est présent, attentif, passionné, & ça change tout. Même un dimanche midi, il prend le temps de nous faire découvrir des vins avec une générosité rare, au point où on se laisse convaincre avec plaisir, sans même hésiter.

& que dire des pâtes🫠🤤
faites maison, mais surtout racontées en guise de menu par les serveurs avec tellement de passion qu'on a l'impression de déjà les goûter avant même la première bouchée. Chaque description est vivante, sensorielle, presque théâtrale; c'est une expérience en soi.

On ne vient pas juste manger ici. On vient vivre quelque chose.

On repartirait de Québec juste pour revenir ici, sans hésiter. Un endroit qui marque, & où on a déjà envie de revenir avant même d'être parti!

Simon & Martine, hé merci là🙋🏽?♀?

Amazing food & service! It was our first time trying Pasta Pooks & the food was delicious! We had the bread service, followed by the baccalà to start which was served on fried polenta & the italian sausage appetizer. They were absolutely to die for & really set the tone for a great dinner!

We had the gnocchi with tomato sauce & the garganelli with a butter & mushroom sauce for our mains, which were all homemade & equally delicious. The portions were perfect & the value received for the price is outstanding.

I highly recommend going!

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