The food was incredibly fresh and the flavors were beautifully balanced. It’s not a place known for large portions, but the quality truly outweighs the quantity. And the tiramisu absolutely incredible. It tasted just like my mom’s, unlocking a sweet memory close to my heart.

Pasta Pooks in Montréal is absolutely delicious. The food is first rate and well worth the visit. The space is small, though they are expanding, which will be welcome given how popular it is.
We shared the fried zucchini flower to start, followed by the bean salad, pesto gnocchi, and spinach ricotta ravioli. Every dish was excellent. We sat at the counter , staff was really friendly .We waited about thirty minutes for a spot, but it was absolutely worth it for such outstanding food.

This is the pasta restaurant I’ve been dreaming of and that comes closest to the authentic homemade pasta that I had in Italy. We skipped the appetizers so that we could try all three of the daily pastas: spaghettoni al ragù d’anatra (thicker spaghetti with a ground duck sauce), casoncelli mantovani (pasta stuffed with squash and coated in a brown butter sage sauce), and ricotta gnocchis in a parmesan and pomodoro sauce (they were like little pillows!). Each pasta dish was cooked to perfection with the right texture and the right balance of flavours. I debated reordering the casoncelli mantovani but refrained since I was trying to be responsible!
We finished the meal with the tiramisu, which we agreed was the best we had ever eaten.
Beautiful wine selection and the service was also really great. The atmosphere in the restaurant was really vibrant, maybe a little too loud for our tastes but totally acceptable given the excellent experience overall. The prices were VERY reasonable for the quality of the meal. I can’t wait to return.

Reserve ahead of time and you won’t regret it. We tried the Spaghettoni Al Ragù D’Anatra, also had an amazing philly cheese sub (it’s big portion and so so good), and a long wine list. 10/10 would recommend and would love to see if they can host a larger group too!

The food was good but the sauce was missing something to bring it to the next level. The pastas themselves were very well made and cooked properly additionally I never had those specific shapes before but both sauces were underwhelming. The cheesesteak was BOMB. I’d comeback for the cheesesteak.

Hit and miss but overall doesn’t live up to the hype. We had 2 antipasti: veal tongue was great BUT stracciatella + “seasonal veggies”(2 small spoonfuls of stracciatella, a sad log of undercooked leek and 2 pickled garlic) was an absolute joke for 20$. Seriously, shame on whoever thought about putting that on the menu.
Butternut squash ravioli was excellent but definitely overpriced for the portion size (25$ for 6 ravioli if I remember correctly). Ragu was good but nothing to write home about, and also expensive for the small serving.
Decent but won’t be returning.

I mean we didn’t have reservation so we sat at the place where everyone’s order to go which is ok but since a lot of people was in & out of the place it gets cold while you are eating. But it’s totally worth it because the food is amazing, the sausage and the bread as an entry are great, the pasta is amazing so good that I’m wanna go back for sure but the very very best is the tiramisu at the end wow the best one in Montreal and trust I had try so many already . Next time we will reserve so we can enjoy more on the resto side

Wonderful homemade pasta!
Pasta Pooks is a must stop for pasta lovers. Delicious antipasti to start, and daily incredible pasta dishes. My advice is to share orders of different pastas on the daily menu. Save room for dessert. Good wines & beers to choose from. You can eat in the bar anytime with the amazing Rosemonde making everyone feel welcome, or make a reservation for the dinning room. Come hungry and enjoy!YUMMY!

Hands down the best pasta in the city. The friendly staff makes you feel at home instantly, great addition to the neighborhood. The place is continuously evolving their starters and sides, you should try them alongside the pasta.
Great on a date or as a group, and even the individual seating make you part of the atmosphere.
Cent’anni !
