Scarolie's Pasta Imporium (Scarolies)

This restaurant is just ok. The place is super loud, the drinks were absolutely awful, the so called'martini' tasted like juice & the mixed drinks were terribly made. The best thing I ate was actually the baguette. The salad lettuce was cut into huge pieces, the calamari & the sauce it came with were quite bland. Our main courses were mostly good (pizza, several pastas, chicken), the salmon dish was a bit bland, the chicken with cream sauce & cranberry came with pasta with tomato sauce which was an odd combination. Desserts were pretty good also. The service was great & I appreciated that they packed our leftovers for us unlike many restaurants that just give you a box.

We came for early dinner for father in laws 84th birthday. The food was incredible (seafood stuffed pasta in lobster sauce #3 omg). We were also blown away by the service, like something from another era that is so rare these days. Our waitress knew what was needed before we did; a 6th sense - what a gift! Thank you for making us feel so welcome & truly taken care of at every moment. We will be back!

Edit: The owner swiftly took care of every single issue. I found it odd that a restaurant that uses top quality ingredients would have certain deficiencies. If I were to choose a restaurant that guarantees satisfaction, this would be my TOP choice. The owner (Alex) stands by his reputation. If you, as a customer have a problem with the food or service, simply tell the waitress or waiter if they forget to ask.

Our table all had very beautiful presentations, & most people had enough leftovers for a second supper. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. Surprisingly, I had some issues that shouldn't have been ignored. The minestrone soup was very bland, & the zucchini entrée was not evenly sliced leaving some pieces undercooked. My Italian salad had the lettuce I love, sadly I didn't order dressing on the side. It was soaked a bit too much. The worst part was the shaved carrots were MUSTY & my mostly untouched salad was cleared by the waitress without even asking why I gave up on it so soon. My shrimp pasta was another disappointment. It tasted fine, but there was so much rich heavy creamy sauce it was sickening after half the plate. I did note that other tables were eating up their mooshy pasta plates quite happily.
The high points are the incredible croutons & above average tasting water (maybe its filtered) If it wasnt for the musty carrots I may have actually enjoyed this place a bit more.

My girlfriends & I had such an amazing time at Scarolies last night! Everything was just perfect 🩷 The place felt cozy, & we loved being seated by the window. Even though it was full, it wasn't too loud at all, & there was barely any wait time for the food.

I used to come here 20 years ago for the gnocchi, & having them again was such a treat. The gnocchi rosé were delicious! & the Napolitana pizza was fantastic - with a touch of garlic & a sauce that tasted like my nonna's 😋

& thank you so much to our waiter Araz who made our experience even better - warm, attentive, & making sure we were all taken care of throughout the night.

We'll definitely come back!

This restaurant was already packed at 6 p.m. on a Sunday. It feels like they've added more tables over the years-the seating is very tight, & the place is extremely loud. You practically have to shout to keep a conversation going. The food, however, was top-notch.

Sincere Request ~~ Please bring back your Mussels with Saffron Sauce-it was one of the best dishes on your menu. 😋

Black cod was good with excellent shrimps, pasta with sea food, steak brevette quite good in yummy sauce & asparagus. Meatballs were good, with salads etc... service was excellent & sitting out in a beautiful summer night what could be worse.

We've been to Scarolies Pasta Emporium several times, & it's always a solid experience. A word of advice: make a reservation. It gets very crowded, & walking in without one might leave you without a table.

One of the best parts of dining here is the warm baguette they serve as soon as you sit down. It comes with olive oil & balsamic vinegar for dipping, & you can always ask for a refill. It's not the best baguette I've ever had, but it's genuinely good & a great way to start the meal.

This time, we had two soups: the soup of the day (vegetarian) & the chicken noodle. Both were decent; nothing extraordinary, but satisfying.

For mains, we ordered a few pasta dishes: one with shrimp, one with lobster, & a lamb dish. The pasta was very good: the sauces were flavorful & well-balanced, & the pasta itself wasn't overcooked. I especially appreciated the generous offering of fresh black pepper & cheese, you can always ask for more.

The lamb was also good. We had two lamb plates, & the flavor varied slightly between them-sometimes more mild, sometimes richer. The only small downside was that the sauce on one was a bit too salty, possibly from the black pepper & salt combo.

Overall, the food is consistently good, the service is friendly, & the little touches (like the baguette & fresh cheese/pepper) make it a place worth coming back to. We'll definitely be returning!

Great place to have some good classic pasta. I had the pasta gigi, & the sauce was so filling that the one plate easily filled me up. Plus with the free unlimited bread makes it even better & able to scope up the remaining sauce with the bread. You can not leave this place without being filled to the rim.

Great Italian restaurant near Pierrefords.

Went on a Friday night around 6pm. Had two people with no reservation. Places was very busy, but the front of the house is rum so efficiently & the wait was only like 15 minutes. To sit down. Service was friendly & helpful.

Had a could drinks to start, Daquari & a Negroni, both were decent size & tasted good.

The waiter brought us a warm bread with some oil & balsamic on side to dip into.

The Ceasar Salad was excellent, the dressing was flavorful & creamy.
For mains we had a Roasted Rack of Lamb, & the linguini pasta in cream sauce with shrimp & mushrooms (Linguini con Gamberetti alla Brandy Rosa)

We were stuffed, but couldn't pass up dessert to go for later. A strawberry cake, & tiramisu.

Overall the food was done well & tasty. The service was great. Atmosphere was nice & lively. Would be great to bring large groups, saw a lot of larger tables of 6 or more there (obviously with reservations).

Would recommend & will be one of our go to options when in the area in future trips.

I grew up in the West Island with Scarolies being the local, Italian staple. I recently tried the fried zucchini & am so disappointed in myself for not trying it sooner! It's absolutely delicious & the dipping sauce is amazing.

The food was amazing! Gnocchi with the gorgonzola sauce, rack of lamb & seafood linguini. Plates were on the table d'hôte which came with either a soup or salad as an appetizer. For dessert, we had some cakes & coffee. Great service by Jimmy. We will be back! One star off because the washrooms were a bit in need of a clean (floors were sticky & one of the stalls was out of TP).

I hadn't been to Scarolies for a long time. I decided to go have supper after my hockey game. I order veal scallopini with pasta on the side. I asked if the tomato sauce could be substituted to bolognese & the waitress said sure no problem. Everything was delicious! The veal sauce was so good, the veal so tender. The bolognese sauce was beyond delicious. I bought a litre of it & brought it home. My wife said, when you're on the West Island Sunday get some more!!! It's so delicious! We're Italian so we know good sauce. Service was great, prices are extremely good for the quality & quantity of dishes. This is now my go to place when I'm craving Italian food. Highly recommend it. Also the terrasse is so beautiful & romantic. It reminded me of Gianni's in Aruba.

Scarolies Pasta Emporium is the « pasta place » of the west island. The prices are good & the portions are huge. Every table gets unlimited warm bread with olive oil & vinegar. Don't be shy to ask for cheese & pepper on your pasta, the waiters are super nice & won't hesitate to give you as much as you need! You can also add gratinated cheese on any pasta plate if you feel like your meal is not cheesy enough. The fried calamari & marinara sauce are also really good. Service & atmosphere is 5/5. Giving food 4/5 as I had better pasta, but this is still a good place & I would come back. This place is big group adn birthday friendly

For lunch, we had a chicken Cesar salad & seafood salad. The cesar salad was missing bacon, & the chicken was unfortunately dry. There was a bit too much sauce, although it was very tasty with freshly grated parmesan on top. The seafood salad had a good portion of calamari, smoked salmon & shrimp. The calamari was perfectly cooked not rubbery at all but there was no additional sauce to dip it in. The salad was perfectly dressed with a light but delicious vinegarette. Both salads were enormous & we weren't able to eat more then half. They also bring a fresh baguette with oil & balsamic vinegar but the bread although very fresh, tasted plain & somewhat flavorless. The interior is VERY old but you can also day it adds to the charm. Service was super friendly & helpful. The price was good for the portions we got but it's not necessary to have such enormous portions for lunch.

Great service, great menu with many different dishes & choices & most of all great food cooked to perfection!! On a busy night the restaurant is full too capacity & can get a little loud. The skirt steak meal with the mushroom reduction sauce was phenomenal 👌 Well worth the drive from Southern Ontario.
