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.
Don't come here for authenticity, the sauces & pasta are all store bought (we saw the Costco pesto, & a mushroom truffle sauce jar). Same for Shnoopi, unfortunately.
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.
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.
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!
Let me start by stating this, I don't really like pasta as I have always found it bland & the sauces not well seasoned... then I found Shnoopa! ... & let me tell you... I love this place, the pasta was amazing! It was fresh, the seasoning was perfect! The portions were great! The atmosphere was comforting! The owner was very Kind & you can see the care he has for the place through the flavours!.
This spot needs to be on your bucket list! You need to visit here regardless of where you are coming from! You must visit this spot & try their food!!!
Thank you again! We will definitely be back, best Pasta i have ever had!
Very delicious. My friend & I got the Shnoopa & the Pink Sauce! The shnoopa was really good but the pink sauce just tasted like plain mac n cheese. It would've been great if we would have been able to change the sort of pasta. Other than that, atmosphere wise, there wasn't any music so it was a bit awkward, but the decoration is very pretty & photo-worthy!
I tried this pasta place & honestly it was really good. The pasta was cooked perfectly, not too soft & not hard, & the sauce was rich & full of flavor. The portion size was filling & worth the price. The place itself was cozy & clean, & the service was fast & friendly. Overall, it's a great spot if you're craving good pasta & I'd definitely go back again.
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.
