A spacious restaurant offering authentic Italian flavors in their pizza & pasta. The food was absolutely delicious, & the bread stood out with its traditional Italian style. The ambiance is pleasant, with plenty of room to sit & enjoy your meal comfortably. However, the service could be improved-it was adequate but not particularly welcoming. Overall, a great spot for Italian cuisine lovers.View more

Best Italian restaurant in town! Had lunch here for the first time with my boyfriend, & though there were so many options on the menu, we were so hungry so we ordered bolognese pastas directly. The sauce was cooked in special butter first & then well mixed with the pastas. Absolutely flavorful ! Their garlic bread was also great & super tasty, & the owner was kind enough to give us one extra for free :) This place is a great combination of great food, affordable price (they even have monthly unlimited plan) & great service, so I'll definitely visit it more frequently!View more

Awesome joint, the owner is friendly & amicable & ensures everything is made to perfection. On a chat with him, I learnt how he recently purchased the restaurant & wakes up at 6am when stock runs low to specially & specifically make the bolognese sauce himself! A quick serve Italian joint at the heart of a prime location with Old Port to the South & Renee Levesque Blvd to it's North & Complex Desjardins, I can imagine it is a great stop for busy professionals as well as budding students to find a healthy & hearty meal, that can accommodate their busy schedules. Furthermore beyond the amazing food & service (I got the La Mediterranean with Pâte aux Epinards [Spinach]) they have some amazing initiatives such as Unlimited Pasta meal plans (with student pricing options) along with a unique initiative of "Pâte & Parle" every Tuesday at 5:30pm onwards allowing people to practice & up-skill their French language (irrespective of level of knowledge) I urge you to stop by, you won't be disappointed, rather missing out! 😉View more

I recently attended a networking event at La Popessa & had a very positive experience. The restaurant provided a perfect setting for the event, with its elegant & inviting atmosphere. The decor was stylish & elegant, creating a comfortable environment for mingling & conversation. The food was delightful. I had the & it was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, & the sauce had just the right amount of spice. The ingredients were fresh, & the flavors were well-balanced. The presentation of the dishes was also impressive, adding to the overall dining experience. The staff did an excellent job accommodating the guests . They were attentive & professional, ensuring that everyone had what they needed throughout the event. The service was prompt, & the staff was knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations. One area for improvement would be the acoustics of the space. With a large group, it sometimes became a bit noisy, making it difficult to hear conversations. However, this did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience. Overall, La popessa is a fantastic choice for both dining & hosting events. The combination of great food, attentive service, & a pleasant atmosphere made for an enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to host a gathering or simply enjoy a delicious Italian meal. I look forward to returning in the future!View more

Stepping into La Popessa for a meal is like taking a trip straight to the heart of Italy. During my last visit, I had the pleasure of trying their Pasta Carbonara, & it was absolutely divine. The pasta was cooked to perfection, providing the ideal backdrop for the creamy, savory sauce that enveloped it. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors, with the sharpness of the cheese & the smokiness of the pancetta coming through beautifully. The restaurant itself offers a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes every dining experience feel special. The staff at La Popessa are incredibly friendly & efficient, always ready to offer recommendations or accommodate any dietary preferences. La Popessa isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination for anyone who appreciates fine Italian cuisine made with love & attention to detail. Whether you're a local or just passing through Montreal, make sure to add this gem to your culinary itinerary. It's an unforgettable experience that will leave you planning your next visit before you've even left the table.View more

THE place for delicious, quick, & flavourful Italian pasta & pizza! The staff are extremely friendly & efficient. I ordered the carbonara pasta, which was cooked in front of me with fresh ingredients, & had to go back for takeout the next day! Loved the large slices of pepperoni -- a unique addition for a typical pizza. Located in the heart of Old Montreal, La Popessa is a must!View more
