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

Je recommenderais La Popessa à n'importe qui qui passe dans le coin. Mon expérience a été parfaite, le service était rapide & chaleureux, la gentille caissière m'a servi rapidement & avec un beau sourire. La décoration est vraiment immersive on se croirait en Europe avec les arbres. J'aime beaucoup le concept & retournerais à l'établissement asapView 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

Food was ok. But the staff were too arrogant. They messed up our order & when we questioned it, the guy straight away refused to fix it saying it's their rush hour & they don't have time to fix it.View more

Very strange & uncomfortable resto experience: I was promised an unlimited student plan on a monthly subscription for $150 but after 2 weeks when my classmates & I started coming for lunch they did a bait & switch. Missing ingredients on a daily basis, incorrect billing on my credit card, amongst other violations such as staff smoking cigarettes outside of Palais des Congrais. The popessa franchise has been steadily losing clientele base & closing locations; the one in Montreal set to close shortly. You are better off with the countless other alternatives provided by respectable independant mom & pop pasta cuccinas found everywhere in Montreal.

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

Le nouveau propriétaire est super sympa en venant nous accueillir. Malheureusement, pour rentabiliser le truc, ils coupent les crevettes en deux, cela fait en sorte que c'est raide & on perd la qualité. Manque assaisonnement & la portion est petite pour le prix. Il y a du potentiel mais il faut offrir de la qualité à un plat à 20$. Plusieurs pâtes étaient aussi collées en bloc tellement elles étaient trop cuites.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
