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.

Excellent repas & service attentionné, des pâtes d'exception dans les meilleures que j'ai mangé .

Mon seul bemol oui de bons vins mais quand même chers .

J'y retournerai sans doute je vous le recommende.

Pâtes somptueuses & authentiques. Gnocchi alla ricotta comme un nuage en bouche. N'hésitez pas à essayer les autres plats comme les entrées, très originales. Beau choix de vins aussi. Pasta Pooks, à découvrir absolument!

We've been hard pressed to find this kind of spot! Super delicious food, comfortable space & vibe. Every plate was delicious (ordered 2 pastas & 3 entrees). We realized my brother was in town at last minute, & they found a way to work out the reservation to include an extra person - really personal touch. Service was great & each dish hit the mark. Looking forward to coming back!

Ultra décevant & ridiculement cher. Agnolotti à la farce hyper salée & peu savoureuse, sauce très sucrée. Gnocchi très ordinaires, avec beaucoup de farine. Sauce tomate trop acide.

Fine but not nearly what I was expecting. It's overhyped & overpriced in my opinion. Expensive, small portions, few options, mid service, & the pasta was definitely not mind blowing. Personally I would go elsewhere in the neighbourhood if you just want pasta & a glass of wine.
