Cute & cozy place, food was delicious, the pasta bolognese was amazing, big portions & cheap price.
Totally recommended (from student that often eats out)
I had their Mac & cheese & it was hands down the best I've had in a long while! Would definitely recommend
Amazing atmosphere, with super friendly & helpful staff. The food is always delicious, & we've had a great experience every time we've visited. Highly recommend this place!
Review: Pastavita - Montreal
Look, we've all been there: it's late, your options are dwindling, & you're dangerously close to settling for a soggy sandwich from a gas station. Enter Pastavita. Is it going to win a Michelin star? No. But did it save my night? Absolutely.
I went with the Alfredo, & honestly, the flavor was actually quite good. It's got that classic, comforting taste you want when you're craving carbs. My only real gripe-& it's a dry one-is that the chef seems to treat the sauce like it's being taxed by the milliliter. I'm a'drown the noodles' kind of guy, & this was more of a'light misting.' A little extra liquid gold would have easily bumped this into a higher tier.
That said, the cleanliness of the place is genuinely impressive. It's so pristine you'd think they were expecting a surprise inspection from a high-ranking official. The staff was also remarkably friendly, offering the kind of genuine service that's becoming a bit of a relic in the city lately.
It's a solid, reliable spot. While I won't be starting a fan club or rushing back tomorrow, it's a massive step up from your average'it's late & I'm desperate' meal. If you're in the area & everything else has gone dark, you could do a whole lot worse than this. Just maybe ask for a side of sauce to go.
The server at the cash was patient & helpful. I ordered the Rose Toscano pasta, & was pleasantly surprised. The sauce was flavourful.
