La Popasay is a fantastic spot for pasta lovers. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with a rich & flavorful sauce that tasted fresh & well-balanced. The customer service was equally commendable-staff were friendly, attentive, & quick to accommodate requests. Highly recommended!View more

There is something for everyone here! I visited La Popessa with my husband & son. We ordered la putanesca, the gnocchi special with bolognaise sauce, garlic bread, & a Caesar salad. The food was prepared right in front of us & was served piping hot. La putanesca was full of flavour, a generous portion & devoured entirely. The gnocchi special was rich, delicious & hearty. Our son also enjoyed sharing our meal & his favourite was the garlic bread! Needless to say, we will be returned again very soon!View more

I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is nothing to write home about but our 2 pastas - bolognese & puttanesca - were both well prepared. The pasta had the texture of fresh pasta & serving sizes were generous. I took a picky teen & this place worked out well because you can customize your pasta & sauce choice.View more

Loved the way they made pasta in front of us, great menu. However, the tortellini & pesto sauce that I had were quite bland. The garlic bread was excellent though! The prices were fair & the service was good. Not the prettiest place to eat at, but overall good & will go again.View more

Really enjoyed our experience in the restaurant. As a self proclaimed Pasta Expert, it's hard to impress me! The texture of the pasta was just right, al dente. Their bolognese sauce is exquisite & the parmesano on top was great quality. I was pleased with the speed of the service & the very fair price. My wife's Pesto was excellent as well. I know the restaurant is under new management & it's easy to see the love & effort of the ownership as they look to improve the atmosphere & overall experience.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

If you're searching for a truly exceptional pasta experience in Montreal, look no further than La Popessa. I recently had the pleasure of indulging in their Pasta Carbonara, & it was nothing short of sublime. The pasta was perfectly al dente, each strand gloriously coated with a creamy, rich sauce that was expertly balanced-not too heavy, yet undeniably indulgent. The generous sprinkling of crisp pancetta added a delightful crunch & a smoky depth that elevated the dish to new heights. What sets La Popessa apart is not just the quality of the ingredients, which are clearly top-notch, but also the skill with which each dish is prepared. The ambiance of the restaurant adds to the overall experience, with a welcoming & warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Service is attentive & knowledgeable, ensuring that each visit is a pleasure. For anyone looking to satisfy their pasta cravings, La Popessa is a must-visit.
