Pasta Casareccia in Montreal

Absolutely horrendous service. Ordered spaghetti bolognese, how much more basic can you get? Waiting now 1 hour. They apologize, it won t be long .. I m a regular here and it will be my last time. Walking out ..

Fresh pasta, Italian cold cuts, imported and domestic Italian cheese. All types of goodies A Must See -An Authentic ITALIAN NATIVITY SCENE CHRISTMAS window display. Over 200 figurines from the Naples area. A Montreal Landmark !!!! Bring your children, there is so much to discover.

Girl at the counter I think her name is Kaylee was very welcoming and so kind! Great customer service!

Excellent quality, authentic tasting food. Service was unrivalled. Will definitely return! Food

I ate the best osso bocco of my life there, nothing less, I still can t believe it. Everything is very good, I love this restaurant!

Vegetarian options: Lasagna is delicious ! Food

So the prices went through the roof here,a small bowl of noodles(casarechia) 27$!! Our daughter hade the pesto noodle dish and i had the lasagna!No drinks,nothing else thats it!! 97.00$ with taxes and tip,Outrageous,never going back

It was an amazing experience

A favourite place.

Just wow. Such great food and a good price

Wonderful discover for us. Perfect in every way. We are very picky eater, and one is vegetarian in our group and there was not à bite left in all the 4 plates of our party of 4. Quantities were exactly right and we would have lick the plates if it wouldnt be frown upon! Everything was so tasty. First but not last time we go.

Continues to be over of the finest Italian restaurants in Montreal. Delicious risotto, amazing pasta

Good food and great service!

Great restaurant - typically Italian delicatessen. Warm atmosphere, quality service and very tasty dishes. I totally recommend and I will come back!

1st time at this restaurant for me and my partner and we will return! Very good food, service too and nice to be able to buy food, pasta etc . Congratulations!

Authentic Italian food prepared inhouse with fresh ingredients. Very good service.

I was there in the back room which was lovely and private for 8 ladies to enjoy. Speaking for myself I found my arribiatta pasta was not spicy and the portion for $17.00 was petit. Others left their salads for the lack of taste. However we had the most amazing server. His name is Adriunos and he was fabulous.. He took care of all our needs. Even when changing or adding to our orders, he didn t get annoyed or flustered. He was an absolute delight. Many thanks to him for being so accommodating. .

EN: Exceptional experience at Pasta Casareccia. Firstly the service: we were 8 people for dinner, being a large group, we have already had complicated experiences where it was difficult to seat us in the restaurant. Here, the staff went out of their way to find us a place, outside at that, so that we could all have a good time together. In addition, our server (I forgot his name but he was a student at McGill University) was extraordinarily kind. The main dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. Lots of quality in the choice of products and this is felt in the dishes. The desserts were exquisite! Lots of generosity and service in this restaurant that I can only recommend!!

There was a lot of quality in the choice of products, and it showed in the dishes. The desserts were exquisite! Great generosity and service in this restaurant, which I recommend!

Food and service was great. Tried the burrata caprese with beef carpaccio . Then had the Rigatoni and burrata pasta calamari I wouldn t do again but excited to come back and try the rest. The tiramisu was great as well

Waited 1 hour and fifteen minutes to be served 2 plates(lasagna and cannelloni). Our server forgot to bring our wine and disappeared while we waited for our water to be refilled. Another table of 7 ordered at the same time they got served ate, paid and left while we were finishing our plates. Unbelievable

Very nice surprise. I felt like I was in a kitsch and typical place. The soul of an Italian migrant who came to settle in America. Italian cuisine with traditional and original dishes and proposals. It s well done, a good canteen. Wheelchair accessibility: Unavailable.

Very delicious Italian food with experience over 30 year, a family business through generations. Everything is homemade specially the pasta are delicious. The owner is very friendly. I recommend it

Excellent Italian cuisine!

We bought a Lasagna Bolognese for a party. It was awful. The pasta sheet was over cooked. The lasagna was so runny that it wouldn t hold together. It didn t have any taste. I don t recommend this restaurant.

Was there with my lovely fiance on Saturday for our dinner! We were served by Sam - waiter. Made the experience excellent. Food was great.

Did take of their lasagna. Extremely tasty lasagna made with fresh pasta.

Fast service, good selection of tasty fresh dishes

I went to get literally one item from the counter to go at 8:53 and counter person refused to allow me to buy anything and said they are closed, even though they close at 9. I hurried to make it before closing and all I wanted was a cold item to go, and she said she needed to close her cash. There were still people sitting at tables and her cash was still open. It s bad for business. If you close at 9, you close at 9. Not cool.

Excellent food, like home. . They have a large room in the back, perfect for groups (probably up to 45 people).

This has to be one of the best Italian restaurants in Montreal. Its been located on Sherbrooke Street in NDG for decades and Ive been going there with friends for a very long time. Its a real treat. We always order different dishes each time we go and, each time we go, the way the food was prepared offered a really pleasingculinary experience. Perhaps what Im about to say is the same for all high-end restaurants: when the waiter describes the various chefs specialties for the evening, the decision to choose one over the other is so difficult! They always sound so good. And.... Ive not been disappointed.

Amazing food and service. We will definitely be coming back!

Not as good as it used to be.

Sandwich decent 20 dollars for a sub and you can t sit down, interesting ! Food

Very ordinary and not professional pasta

very basic! Not tasty at all. Did not look like a fresh or handmade pasta!

The only nice thing I have to say about Homemade Pasta is that it is a bright, cheerful, clean place pleasing to the eye and mood (initially) . My three companions had no complaints about anything. In fact, for reasons incomprehensible to me, my husband really likes this restaurant. My food was a disaster. The overcooked salmon was swimming in oil. I didnt touch the pasta because it was covered with a glob of red paste that looked like it came straight out of a can. I saw no trace of herbs. It reminded me of cafeteria fare. But I would have suffered that had it not been for the awkward waitress and host/manager standing uncomfortably close to us and facing our direction for much of the time. We were seated in the last booth by choice. I should disclose that the kitchen closes at 8; we arrived at 7:15 and ordered (under significant pressure by our charming hostess) within 10-15 minutes. The food arrived very quickly, too quickly if you get my drift. These two individuals looking in our direction and resembling mismatched, misplaced bookends prevented me from enjoying my conversation.(My food itself was a lost cause).Their body language indicated that they would have liked nothing better than for us to finish our meal and be gone. I finally expressed my displeasure at the end of an unpleasantly hurried meal when the host/manager had the audacity to suggest that we ought to have switched tables. Imagine how graceful a maneuver that would have been! An evening that I had been looking forward to was spoiled. I didnt mind the bad food as much as I minded the unprofessional service. On a final note: Id advise clients not to show up after 7 pm. By the way, we certainly didnt linger. In fact, a couple arrived just as we were leaving. I hope their experience was better than mine.

This is a wonderful Italian restaurant. We sat in the back which had a bit more room and easier to hear. Food was delicious

Delicious food and wonderful customer service. The chicken béchamel lasagna was to die for! We will most definitely be back.

Great place, great food, great service. Took the stuffed olives and the House Casareccia sauce with home made pasta. Great choice for a dinner with guests at our place!! Food

Delicious pasta and stracciatella! The truffle pasta is particularly good. A bit expensive for pasta. And the service was a little too fast: I didnt even have time to finish eating when I no longer had my plate and was offered the dessert menu...

Small restaurant but so warm and good. A real mamas kitchen

Nice place. Food was delicious! Service was great!

We are regulars. This is a stable forever place for comfort food. The wine list is satisfactory. Kid-friendliness: We have had almost every dish. Never disappointed. The staff are there to assist and see to your every dining experience.

First time they failed with my order. This time, the service was impeccable and the food delicious. We need to believe in second chances I guess.

Our pasta (pesto burrata & carbonara) was delicious! Efficient and friendly service.

Delicious, quality pasta!!

Always great service and delicious food

Always a wonderful experience.

Fresh homemade pasta, tastes great, and has a homey feel to the place.

We drive by this restaurant often and decided to go based on positive reviews on Google. Review in a nut-shell is: school cafeteria level food for $200 for family of three. Would have been acceptable had it been priced at $100. Now for the details: Restaurant is a family restaurant established 40 years ago or so. Decor is reminiscent of a American dinner with vinyl banquettes, art deco light fixtures, small tables with paper covers. They have a fridge with counter to buy ready made meals, pastries, Italian sausages and cheeses. We liked the vibe and no-fuss decor. Service was acceptable considering the atmosphere. The food was of a level that one would be served as a school meal. For appetizers we ordered caprese salad and bruscheta, good old iItalian stalwarts. The bruscheta was sliced untoasted bread served in a basket with a ramekin of confid small tomatoes with unpitted olives which you had to assemble yourself; image the untoasted bread becoming soggy with the whole tomatoes bursting into juice. The caprese was also served with confid tomatoes in a ramekin with the mozzarella sprinkled with a few shred of basil. I regret not having taking pictures to illustrate that sorry sight. The meals were pasta dishes and chicken parmigiana. Presentation was unappealing and sloppy, the ingredients in the pasta indecipherable and, surprisingly in a place that sells fresh pasta, the pasta was overcooked and mushy. Remember these $12 school meals with the stale bread? Those are them. Apparently the biggest crowd pleaser is the tiramisu and that was not available at 6PM on a Friday. You got the picture?

Certainly this is not a good and real Italian pasta restaurant. It s far away of what a real pasta is. I hate places that call themself a truly Italian and serve just below par food.

Great meal - as always!!

Best pasta dishes in Montréal ! Service is too notch too!

Ordered a pull pork sandwich. Thick white dry bread, thin dry pulled pork. Some hot mustard. Nothing else. No veggie, pickled or fresh; no oil, no cheese, no serious attempt to make it an enjoyable meal. I guess it was better than a vending machine sandwich, but not close to worth the price. Id give 1 star, but my gfs pasta was good, so you get 2 stars.

Real italian piccolo ristorante. Also a nice corner store. We adored the food and the service. They even have a Toto painting ;)

Best fettuccine Alfredo i hate in my life so far You can even buy their sauce to bring home after! Food : 5/5

Delicious and good portion!

Im not a huge fan of pasta but I will always say yes to Casareccia. Great taste, generous portion, cozy ambiance and most importantly, the service is genuinely amazing! Sal is always taking great care of us! Simply love the place!!

Good food for the price

Oh my, what a gem! Fantastic food, the veal is a must have! Will be back

Very good

The restaurant is amazing - homemade fresh pasta and sauces, absolutely delicious. The server was attentive and kind, and helped out with any confusion about the dishes. We finished the meal with dessert, and it was flawless. I wish I lived closer than 7 hours away from here!

An OG Italian style decor from the 70s and 80s, truly a must for fresh pasta in Montreal. Delicious dishes to take away. Stuffed olives (you have to try this) and really nice shop side!!! Well done !!!

Was very good, excellent lasagna, chicken parmigiana, the pasta was very good appetizers were excellent. Worth the visit

Always clean, always fresh, always a delightful staff! Love Pasta Casareccia, it s been a family favorite for a long time for Lasagna close to home.

Probably the best pasta in Montreal. There is a huge selection of dishes ranging from more traditional recipes (spaghetti bolognese, lasagna, carbonara) to more original flavors with different ingredients (squash, almonds, etc.). The quality can be felt and tasted. Everything is fresh and so tasty. The portions are very generous and the prices very reasonable. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is super warm. I highly recommend and will definitely return.

I ve been a customer for years and this is my favourite cozy local spot

Cozy and friendly Italian restaurant with great food and excellent service. Try everything. I had the Bucatini Vongloe which features a delicious clam sauce, while my partner loved her fettuccine casareccia and my daughter really enjoyed her penne primavera. Their desserts include cannolis, zeppoles, and tiramisu - all fresh and delicious. Will definitely return.

I had very good service even after purchase

Porchetta is a treat.

Old school pasta restaurant in NDG. Prices reasonable and tasty. Friendly staff The only caveat is that some things at the counter could not be ordered while seated at the restaurant. Food : 4/5

Best sun-dried tomato pesto sauce

Reminded me of the authentic dinners my Nonna would cook us. Loved everything, thank you!

Best I ve had. Great Staff and what can I say about the food, doesn t get any better than this. Top tier restaurant in the city.

I ordered twice in two days. On day one, I had a craving for stracciatella soup, and also ordered the porchetta sandwich. The soup was possibly the best stracciatella I have had, probably because it had a lot of parmesan. The sandwich arrived hot enough and was really delicious. Today, day 2, I ordered two stracciatella (I really liked it) and tried the lasagna and a bit of tortellini carne rosa (to be finished tomorrow). Both were above average but I have had better, notably in the good old days of Trattoria Trestevere and more recently in the now defunct Bistrorante Boccone. Admittedly, these were had at the restaurant; delivery has its own challenges. I will eventually try other dishes and may give it 5 stars yet.

When my lady said that this was the best place to get pasta in Montreal... She wasnt kidding. Service was quick and funny, the food is always fresh be sure to ask whats not on the menu and most times they have in house wine that pairs well with the food given. Highly recommended! Just be sure to reserve before going, it gets quite busy.

First time at the restaurant even though I often go to the store. What a magical experience... first of all the service, received by a young man of kindness and delicacy rarely seen, we were charmed. He made this meal truly enchanting :). But that doesn t take away from the pasta which was delicious. Squid ink pasta with seafood in its turmeric sauce... exquisite. Carbonaras, the best ever. Snails with pesto sorry about the snails but the creamy pesto sauce steals the show, it s finger-licking so good. A gem of a restaurant just a stones throw from us. We will return there for sure.

Never a disappointment for food quality. Good service from friendly people. Bonus: you can bring home treats from their deli.

Always expect extraordinary service and fresh, tasty food! I haven t had Italian food like this since visiting Italy four years ago.

Unfortunately went here a little too early (11:30am, dining opens at 12pm). Asked the staff if I could just wait until their dining is open and they said yes. A couple of minutes later the manager (?) asked me to go out because Im not allowed to wait inside until their dining is open. Horrible. I wonder how bad their service is when you actually dine in. Im a tourist visiting the city and unfortunately decided to go on this place because its convenient. Not recommended!

This restaurant we tried few of their mains and Antipasto. I visited with family 2 weeks back and its a family restaurant. They are very friendly and courteous to everyone. This is not a very spacious restaurant but good enough to sit with your family and enjoy yummy pastas and Antipasto or fresh brewed coffee or Tiramisu. We liked all the dishes that we ordered both mains and Antipasto. Service was in good pace with enough time to complete your food without any hurry. Kid friendly family restaurant with greatitalian options to select. Parking was not an issue as found designated public parking just round the block beside the plaza. Not too many spots but enough to get spot when required. Parking: Not too difficult to find parking beside the plaza. But limited spaces there else try roadside parking. Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly family restaurant.

Like this place

Good Italian market, food quality is excellent but sometimes underwhelming in presentation.

The sandwiches have such a good taste.

First time eating here with my family. It started off well with the service and appetizers. We had the arancini and calamari. My husband and oldest son had the osso buco. The meat was tender and it was accompanied by spinach tagliatelle. We were a little surprised by that. Maybe they ran out of regular? My husband said it was too salty and my son didn t finish his pasta. He said it was ok. My youngest son had the lasagna and my mother in law had the vongole. They both said it was ok. I ordered the pollo parmigiana and it was terrible. I took the first two bites and it tasted funny. I took it apart to see what kind of meat it was. I cut up pieces for my family to try and they said the same thing. I usually never complain but I told the waiter that it was not good and asked if it was chicken. He confirmed that it was but I was not convinced. I did not eat it. We felt so bad that my mother in law who was kind enough to take us out spent almost $300 for mediocre food. So I m sorry but I would pass on this restaurant. The whole idea of a cute little family Italian restaurant is appealing but I highly doubt they would serve the pollo parmigiana that I had at their home to their their own family and friends. My suggestion would be for them to remove it from the menu. If they can t maintain the quality then they should not serve that to paying customers.

The food was not what I expecteverything I ordered was made differently than what I am used to it wasnt as good

Food is below average

Well, I felt like I had a warm ravioli from Costco, some warm Italian beer from Sorel Tracy Québec ( power outage can excuse some of it) and cold bread with butter. Well a cook of my friends told me that bread was served cold since 25 years in restaurant which perhaps explain why I cook my sh1t at home. The bill for my friend and I was 65$ and really, I would had been happier bringing my own beer at a burger stand. Perhaps I ll have to travel to Italy to taste the real sh1t! Sorry for me visiting your place!

Delicious dishes with fresh ingredients, thats what makes the difference with this welcoming and warm restaurant. To try it is to adopt it.

very expensive for what I ate!

Expensive for what it was. Young gentleman was serving us alone, not his fault but the service was slow due to being understaffed.

This place came recommended so we went to try it out. The portions are ok...the food tastes good. Our server Sam was awesome. Service was slow because of understaffing. The chocolate mousse cake and creme Brulee are worth trying. Overall Im conflicted about this place.....did I think the food tasted good? Yes it did. Was my experience overall such that I would want to come back here? More likely not...

Most delicous tastiest homemade pasta.

Delicious lasagna and excellent service! Grazie! Food

Bought some delicious pizza and Caesar salad dressing.

Italian restaurant where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner good food

We thought to try... we ordered the fish de jour (salmon) with fettuccine. What a mistake! Salmon was way over cooked to the point of being unchewable and the fettuccine was undercooked! Friends ordered pasta with clams (pasta raw) and lasagna (cold in middle). Think again before visiting.

cozy Italian restaurant that doubles as a grocery store. Service is great, waiters always cheery, food is amazing, overall amazing place Food

Do not recommend. Poor quality control. Dissatisfied and will not be a returning customer. Extremely disappointed. Food

The food is really excellent, you have to try it.

The lovely cashier called Hoda was so nice and sweet. She guided me on which lasagna would be best for me. Would definitely come again. 100% reccommend coming here if your in the area.

I absolutely love this place. The food is so good!

It s no wonder they have been in business for about 30 years! Never been disappointed!

Had a lovely experience with our waiter Sam. Super helpful and funny!

Just the best

A great local Italian restaurant

I used to frequent this restaurant every week before covid. They still serve absolutely amazing food, I had to deduct a point because they stopped serving veal since covid. I still cant find a veal parm as good as theirs.

Fantastic food and service

Great pasta, homey place.

A restaurant area with an Italian delicatessen area! Good pasta and incredible homemade sausages. Good Italian coffee served. On the grocery side, several prepared meals, cold meats, sauces, lots of good things to bring. Quality service. I like going there, I recommend you go there! You adopted it!

Always as good family cuisine but sophisticated, Salvatore is a rare pearl in the service!

Ate in. Service friendly. Food fresh and tasty. Place clean. Good experience.

The food was really delicious. I tried the vegeterian lasagna, the tortellini with sauce rose and their chocolate gelato is amazing!! I recommend this restaurant and the staff was really friendly!!

All the dishes are incredible and authentic dinner style decor what a flavor in the mouth ideal for a quick, well-done lunch menu

Very small place, but has a touch of vintage. An old but awesome place to enjoy quality dinner. The location is nice and the food is very delicious. People welcomed both English and French. They try to suggest you the best based on what you wanted to have, if that item is already finished. Very nice, cozy and kid friendly.

Had a ravioli made with pumpkin and almond and it was flavorless. There was suppose to be a white wine sauce which there was hardly any kind of sauce I wont go again.

Fresh homemade pasta...by real Italians...I recommend

The food is amazing and the staff is super friendly! Great casual atmosphere for a first date or family outing.

Absolutely delicious food and the waitress was so nice and helpful!

In one word; amazing! Went for lunch date with my wife (celiac, they were great accommodating her!!) and had probably the best experience in a restaurant in Montreal to date. Super friendly staff and food was delicious. Brought some more homemade pasta and sauces and oil (from the great selection of true Italian foods they sell here as well) back to our home and kids were loving it as well. Thanks for the great experience and we ll be back soon! Ciao

Authentic Italian cuisine. Excellent food and great knowledgeable service.

Vegetarian options: Yummy options ! Parking: On the street with parking meters Kid-friendliness: Yes , kid friendly! Wheelchair accessibility: Street level for the terrace ( outdoor) Inside 3 to 4 steps

Best lasagna!

Ohhh the norcina tagliatelle are like heaven in the mouth (delivery)

The food here was absolutely awesome and truly something different than what I have tried before!! The rest is ok, but only the delicious stuff there worth not 5 but 10 stars

Lovely lunch spot in NDG.

Causal choice but with a positive result. For an Italian on holiday in Canada it is a reconnection with flavors that remind us of home.

Im sorry but this is nothing authentic! This has to be canned meat sauce! Catelli meat sauce has to be! Still taste like can in my mouth!

I went back to eat an Ossobuco and it was just as delicious as the first time

Worst service and food around. Over priced and underseasoned. Why are people still going there?

Staff great very friendly

Excellent Italian restaurant: cheerful service, perfect pasta, well-chosen wines, a great evening guaranteed!

Great food great service great staff, always a pleasure when I stop by.

Nice evening 8 ladies together at Casareccia on September 23rd. Nice ambiance and make sure you reserve in advance. Food was nice Risotto al dente portions are generous and yummy tiramisu Good price for quality. I recommend

I love to order pasta from this restaurant on Uber eats but this time, I decided to visit them, and it turned out to be a great experience! The place is clean; the service is excellent and fast. The lady who took our order was very nice to our kids and us. Fettuccine alfredo should be your first choice!

Really good lasagna.

Very cozy and food was great! 10/10

My mouth dropped when she brought the spaghetti bolognese. The portion was so small for 20$ a plate. Even the bread they brought out was miniscule, they looked cracker sized. Then it got worst when I tasted the food and it tasted like unseasoned watery spaghetti. Gross. Then came the worst part... the bill!!! 50$ in total w the 6$ sparkling water and a child sized 16$ caprese salad. Its not about the money but the value of what we got. We left hungry, dissapointed and horrified. I am definitely never stepping foot here again. Not recommended at all. At ALL.

Food was delicious! Had bruschetta to start, and cannelloni for my main. I also had few bites of my friends arancini.

They are pulling off some genuine Italian food, by Montreal standards, at Pasta Casareccia. The stracciatella zuppa and seafood tagliatelle, on my last visit here, were as genuine as it gets in Montreal. They make their own pasta onsite. Delicious classic Italian food in a laidback place.

This place is an authentic italian restaurant, personally the best I ve tried in the city, and I ve been to many trying to find the best flavors. I would highly recommend the suppli, polpette and specially the ossobuco!

Delivery was packaged very neatly! Pesto with Burrata, and cannolis were amazing. Pasta e fagioli didn t taste as special as the rest of the dishes though.

Very meh. Bruschetta was way overpriced. Tons of better Italian food in the city.

Great old School Italian Cousine restaurant, good quantity and also they have a bakery inside so you can always get a fresh Italian bread to go.

Great prices, atmosphere and meals

Great service and food.

Homestyle Italian with super friendly staff

Underwhelming Italian food, tasted bland to me. I dont understand the reviews, yes the service is good but there are much better Italian restaurants in the city.

Medaglioni and stuffed olives are delicious

I love the supermarket section of Pasta Casaraccia, I can buy fresh, pre-cooked or frozen meals and find everything from soup to salad to main course to dessert and beyond. The staff are super helpful and knowledgeable and the same is true of the wait staff. Wish I could give 10 stars!

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Great meal, great people. Will go again!

Home to the most Very Italian Tasting Lasagna Ever.
