Les avis sur Shnoopa sont partagés, de nombreux clients louant les portions généreuses, les prix abordables et le service accueillant, tandis que d'autres expriment leur déception quant à l'utilisation d'ingrédients industriels et à une atmosphère inégale. Bien que plusieurs clients trouvent les pâtes délicieuses, réconfortantes et d'un excellent rapport qualité-prix, certains convives soulignent que le menu est trop limité et qu'il manque des services attendus comme du pain ou une carte des vins. Les retours sur le décor et l'ambiance varient considérablement, allant d'un cadre charmant et chaleureux à un style industriel et impersonnel. Si le service est souvent décrit comme professionnel et sympathique, certains visiteurs ont fait état de longs temps d'attente ou d'un manque d'attention. Dans l'ensemble, le restaurant est fréquemment recommandé comme une option pratique pour un déjeuner rapide et copieux dans le quartier, même si certains clients estiment qu'il ne répond pas entièrement aux attentes créées par les réseaux sociaux.
Pasta was hot & fresh, & the portions are so generous. Needed take out after a long day on the road & this spot was a short walk from the hotel. Friendly service & seeing the pasta being prepared was a cool touch.
I visited recently with a friend after seeing the spot recommended on TikTok.
FOOD: Good, but not memorable. The menu is extremely limited: mainly penne pasta with 4 or 5 sauce options. We tried the cream of pesto & a spicy version, both decent & ready in under 5 minutes. We added meatballs & chicken on the side, which I wouldn't recommend. The meatballs were mini sized, dry, & served cold without marinara sauce, while the chicken tasted processed, bland, & not freshly prepared & also cold. There's no alcohol (the available wine is non-alcoholic), & the overall menu is very minimal (no salad, soup, etc). No bread service, & no fresh parmesan or pepper grinder, just chili flakes, ground pepper shaker & a solid chili oil (though the Ikea bottle is awkward to pour from).
ATMOSPHERE: Clean, open, & airy with an industrial, minimalist aesthetic. No music, just quiet. Seating is somewhat limited, with a loft-style second level. The washroom was notably spotless, which is always a good sign.
SERVICE : Underwhelming. Despite the restaurant being quiet, service felt inattentive...we had to ask for everything, from side plates to ice. The overall interaction lacked warmth.Even something as simple as ice...when we finally got it, it was just a few small cubes, which didn't go far with canned drinks.I also found myself wishing the owner featured in the videos had been there, as the experience didn't quite match the energy or care that's portrayed online.
OVERALL: A no-frills pasta spot with generous portions & simple offerings, which likely keeps prices reasonable. It could be elevated with small touches like bread service or wine. Be prepared to walk, as parking in the area doesn't exist.I'm glad I visited & supported a local spot while in town, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to. It has potential, but for me, the service & small details made a lasting impression, & not in the best way. No hate...just constructive feedback which I didn't score to harshly on. I do agree with some of the lower scores I've seen in the reviews but I want to give a small business a chance to improve, even if some replies to diners real experiences have been met defensively & with sarcasm & rude comments from management.
Food was amazing! Very flavourful & I'm already craving it again the next day. We ordered the shnoopa pasta & the minced beef pasta. Both are really good but the shnoopa is definitely a must try. It's very unique & I can't imagine anyone not liking it. Portions are also generous, we had enough to take home to eat it for dinner again. The atmosphere of the place is also great, not too casual not too fancy. If I had to criticize something I'd say the music wasn't great lol but honestly everything else was amazing I'd 100% go again

I had a wonderful experience at Shnoopa! We tried both the red sauce pasta & the creamy pesto pasta, & they were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, fresh, & perfectly balanced. The portion sizes were very generous - honestly, the quantity was more than expected, which made the experience even better.
The quality of the food was outstanding, & everything tasted homemade & fresh. The restaurant & kitchen were very clean, which is always a big plus. Moreover, the owner Youssef was extremely nice, welcoming, & attentive. His hospitality really made us feel comfortable & appreciated.
Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great pasta & a warm atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back!
I ordered the four cheese pasta to go & it was absolutely delicious! Rich, creamy, & full of flavor. The portion was generous & everything was perfectly cooked. Great quality & great service. Highly recommended!
Amazing new discovery.food was absolutely delicious with portions being so generous. Service was impeccable & the restaurant super cute to dine in as well. Will not be my last time 🔥🔥🔥
Ordered take out & my gluttonous eyes were fooled at first - the portions looked small. But don't get tricked by the bowl size. One portion can easily be shared between two people, especially if you're not starving.
The pasta was perfectly cooked with a generous coating of sauce. The meat sauce bowl was packed with flavour & had a surprisingly generous amount of meat, not just sauce. The other option, the creamy four-cheese pasta, was silky, rich, & comforting without feeling heavy.
Both sauces cling nicely to the rigatoni, & every bite feels intentional. The balance between meat, cheese, & pasta was spot-on.
Overall: comforting, satisfying, & excellent value considering the portion size. Will definitely order again.
We had a lovely experience! The service was very kind, prices very reasonable, & the food was excellent! the portions are very generous as well- we have lunch for tomorrow now :) Definitely recommend!!
