Guidés par notre slogan — « Les recettes de ma mère » — notre aventure a commencé avec un simple rêve : partager la chaleur des recettes maison avec Montréal, réinventées sous un angle local, créatif et moderne.
Chaque assiette reflète notre dévouement à la qualité, à l’authenticité et au soin. Nos pâtes et nos plats sont conçus pour rassembler les gens, mariant le réconfort de la cuisine de maman à l’esprit de la gastronomie contemporaine montréalaise.

Globalement, Shnoopa suscite des éloges pour des pâtes fraîches et savoureuses, des portions généreuses et des prix raisonnables, avec beaucoup qui décrivent une ambiance chaleureuse et propice aux photos ainsi qu'un service sympathique et attentif. La carte des pâtes, y compris la signature Shnoopa et les sauces variées, est soulignée pour ses saveurs marquées, sa texture et l'impression d'une qualité maison, et plusieurs critiques indiquent des portions assez grandes pour emporter. Bien que l'ambiance soit généralement conviviale et détendue, quelques notes évoquent un niveau sonore modéré, des tables serrées ou des retards de service et des aléas de réservation. Néanmoins, les clients affirment vouloir revenir pour les pâtes, la valeur et la convivialité, les variétés à la truffe et à la crème de champignon étant parmi les meilleures et l'expérience globale décrite comme agréable et digne d'une nouvelle visite.
Food is fine, nothing spectacular but decent place in griffintown for pasta. HUGE portions though oh my gosh. Expensive though, 18$ for eggplant pasta with barely any eggplant or ricotta. Service was fine, maybe a bit slow despite it being empty safe for 4 other people

Terrible service. We were left standing while the staff disappeared instead of helping or giving recommendations. They also refused a simple pasta substitution request. Very unhelpful & disappointing experience.
Yum yum yum. I was starving & a giant bowl of meaty pasta was exactly what I needed. The portion size is massive though, so best tackled in teams of 2! I had the minced beef with meatballs.
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.
Staff were really nice & welcoming, which I appreciated. The pasta, though, wasn't anything special & was a bit too oily. The pesto tasted more like a ready-made sauce than something fresh, so that was a bit disappointing.

Pasta was nice enough not really exceptional. As others have said I think it's more suitable for a lunch if you're in the area & hungry, but wouldn't go out of my way to go there for dinner. Weird vibe & felt a bit uncomfortable there but not exactly sure why. Staff not very friendly & didn't know answers to basic questions. Spotify or the radio was playing with a lot of ads, & decor felt a bit cheap.
Would go again if in the area but think there could be improvements made.
Shnoopa is a solid dining experience. Here is what I liked:
-the portion size
-the sauces
Here's what didn't work for me:
-only rigatoni, penne & spaghetti on the menu
-NOTHING else on the menu. No salad, no apps, no dessert
-ambience is very condo-like
-no wine, no liquor license so I drank san pellegrino
Sort of disappointing but would be fine if you are in the mood for pasta for a quick bite at lunchtime.
Came here for date night on a Saturday at 5:30pm & it was not busy at all so I don't think it's necessary to have a reservation (although we did have one).
Food was tasty, fresh & was at a good price point. Most pasta dishes are $20 or less unless you add a protein for $6-7.
We were hoping for a more romantic & private atmosphere, unfortunately this place was pretty open, bright, gave off cafe vibes & we were seated right beside the only other people in the place.
The host that seated us & the waitress that served us both seemed to have a difficult time remembering that we spoke English rather than French & didn't have an easy time speaking with us which didn't make us feel very welcome or comfortable.
Food came out very quickly & tasted good. Music was quite loud & ads played a couple times.
Overall we won't be making the drive from Ottawa again to dine here as there are better pasta places closer to home with a nicer, more welcoming atmosphere.

I loved !! We went there a few months ago & met the owner. He was incredibly nice! Saw a comment that said the decor is odd, but I disagree, the decor is very charming, & at night it has dimmed light, very cozy!
It's good pasta at a decent price. Nice place & good service.
I don't really get though why this place is sooo popular. They've clearly done a good job trending on social media & gaining traction.
But IMO it does not live up to the hype. You don't even get bread with the pasta & there's no desserts on the menu. The signature dish is good but nothing wow worthy. Mildly flavoured. The pesto dish lacked flavour. The sirloin sandwich was actually quite sad. If I was hungry in the area I might pop in but wouldn't intentionally go back.
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
Absolutely amazing! the best pasta I've ever had! The flavors were incredible, the place is cozy with a great ambiance, & the prices are very affordable. Highly recommend! 🤌
The pasta was really good & the portion is decent for the price. It would be nice if they had wine or a bar. The tables are not big & are close together so it felt cramped. I had a reservation but maybe they take walk-ins.
