Pasta Pooks

This restaurant is on another level-the dishes are made in-house with incredible attention to quality & freshness. The ingredients were top-tier, the flavours were layered & bold without being overwhelming-just the way real Italian food should be.

The ravioli was absolute perfection-& the gnocchi was melt in your mouth delicious.

Having grown up with an Italian grandmother, I truly appreciated the unique, thought out selection of entrees. I've been to plenty of Italian restaurants, but here I found dishes I'd never seen before-creative & inspired takes, rooted in tradition, not trend.

& then came dessert. My boyfriend & I shared the panna cotta & tiramisu. No exaggeration-it was the best tiramisu & panna cotta we had ever had! The layers, the texture, the balance of flavours was exquisite.

A special shout out to Emma & Margaux for providing warm & attentive service. It made the experience even more memorable.

Hands down, the best place for fresh pasta in the city. If you love fresh, quality Italian dishes made with heart-check out Pasta Pooks.

A very casual, small pasta shop that focuses on producing homemade high-quality pasta dishes. It's a nice addition to Montreal's Little Italy neighbourhood. The menu is very limited with only 3-4 pasta choices, & I wasn't able to order the gnocchis for takeout for some reason. But I was able to find a dish I liked, the spinach ricotta ravioli. Which to be honest, was absolutely delicious & quite filling that it literally melts in your mouth! However, in general, I think the portions are on the smaller side because the restaurant seems to be focused on the quality of ingredients. I would go back again since they seem like they switch up their menu every few months, but I was disappointed the outdoor patio wasn't available when I went to the restaurant. Therefore, it might be better to order takeout since the restaurant has limited counter seats & can get quite cramped during the busy hours. I recommend eating at the nearby Little Italy Park, as there are tables available.

Super small place. Cozy but tight. Slightly overpriced but great great pasta. Must try if you're unconcerned about getting $25-30 pasta.

I got the cheese steak sandwich & oh my... Now that's a sandwich. I'm a big guy & I like big sandwiches, but I think this one's actually for sharing. It's huge, heavy, & one of the tastiest things I've eaten in a long time. It's also one of the most expensive I've had, too. But worth it if you split it with someone else! Will definitely be back.

C'était cher pour le repas, peu de choix & attente très longue.

Seriously, charging over $20 for a Bolognese & still serving clumpy powdered parmesan should be criminal. The ragù is overly acidic-likely from going overboard with the red wine-& the pasta falls apart easily when I lift it with a fork. By the time I finished, the plate was just scattered with broken bits. It feels like the pasta dough wasn't kneaded properly, way too hydrated, & lacking gluten development. Overall, the whole thing gives off more of a hobby project vibe than something ran by professional chefs.
