Our server was great. Very knowledgeable and on the ball. The food came out with perfect timing. Fresh food & pasta made fresh. Really cute intimate date night spot.

Nothing is quite like a plate of freshly made pasta in a garlic butter sauce under a load of fresh scallops, and lobster with artichoke and green olives. And Queen's Pasta delivered that perfectly yesterday. The grilled calamari and shrimps were beautifully served on a bed of mixed greens. The limoncello tiramisu was outstanding. This is a nice neighbourhood restaurant that I will return to again and again.

Queen’s Pasta is a fantastic local restaurant that never disappoints. The staff is always accommodating, ensuring all our needs are met, which makes every visit a pleasant experience.

One of my favourite italian spots, I've been coming to Queens Pasta for almost a decade now. Delicious homemade pasta that never disappoints. Staff are always super friendly, service is prompt, gets a bit loud at times but that's because they're almost always busy. Highly recommended!

We re-visit Queen’s Pasta Cafe … still good! Though we don't visit the Runnymede area frequently, it's always a treat to come here once in a while. During lunchtime, we stumbled upon this charming Pasta Cafe and decided to give it a try. We were delighted to discover that the pasta had a wonderful texture, and the sauces were absolutely delicious. Moreover, the Burrata cheese lived up to my expectations, and I was pleased with my choice of Peroni beer. I hope to have the opportunity to visit this place again in the future! 👍👍👍👍👍

A Bloor west neighbourhood gem. Worth a visit even if it s not your neigibourhood. Friendly Service, upscale but not pretentious. Diverse menu, diverse customers, I can only speak to the bruschetta and the jalapano ravioli with Cajun tomato sauce. I know right? Sounds delish! And it was! Thank you! I will absolutely be back Vegetarian options: There were options for vegetarian guests. Although I didn t order them, I seriously considered it.

Calamari appetizer was cold and rubbery and mostly salad. No bread provided and had to PAY extra for some! Entrees were not bad. Dessert tiny for the price. Service wasn t very good, had to repeatedly ask for water etc. 20% tip automatically added (on top of the taxes!) because small group of 6. Not worth the price. Paid parking close by. Clean washroom.

We had lunch today at Queen s Pasta. Unfortunately, I found hair (not my hair) on my plate, which was disappointing. After I let the waiter know, he silently removed the plate and replaced it with a new one. But the biggest disappointment was that nobody apologized or offered anything to make me feel better. I was left feeling that I was not a valuable customer after all.

We were there with 2 kids and 4 adults (two families)on Sunday. It took them to decide to show us a place to sit approximately five minutes. The place was empty, only one table was occupied. The food was ok, smoked salmon pasta, had 20-40 grams of salmon, plate was huge and the salmon was like a joke. Beer was cold. No coffee, WTH, Italian? Are you sure? Washrooms were horrible. Get your double masks before... They brought crayons for kids, which is nice. However, we split the bills and we had to pay 20 percent gratuity for serving 6 people. It is kind of ok, but I dont like it when its an obligation. We asked to split the bills, we all had two still waters, both families are charged for that. We were not cheap to go back and raise the issue but please educate your personnel, and also if you are a customer double check your receipt.

The food was pretty good. The prices are kinda high for pasta. I paid $28 for penne with bacon in it. I think it s a little ridiculous that they won t do refills on soft drinks when the food is already so pricey, and they charge you $3.50 to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to your already $13 piece of cake.

We showed up after attending a show. We were a group of 10 and had no reservation. I was embarrassed to ask for a table for such a large group. The owner prepared a table for us on the upper floor immediately. We were taken upstairs and a lovely table was set up for our group. We were so grateful. The meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone ate very well. The molten lava cake was the best I ve ever had! The pasta was fresh and tasty, and the grilled calamari and shrimp plate was delish! My son has a nut allergy and the wait staff was very quick to alert the kitchen and made sure he was able to eat safely. All in all, a wonderful evening at Queen s Pasta cafe. A neighborhood gem!

We will 100% make the trip back to Bloor W Village from each of our distant neighbourhoods.. *Fair Warning! Dietary restrictions: A dessert was given to our No Dairy Diner (topped with Whipped Cream). Our fantastic server immediately took it back and replaced it with many apologies.

I never eat out in this area, but stumbled across queens pasta and was able to get a seat on the patio at 7pm with NO wait(surprise number one)! Within minutes of entering the door I knew that I was somewhere special, and by the end of the meal was astounded by, frankly, the BEST service I have received in Toronto in years. The servers and hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely dining experience, not to mention everything we had was fantastic. The mushroom truffle pasta was exceptional and reminiscent of pasta I had in Rome last spring. Not usually a pasta fan (more of a pizza girl), I will be dreaming of this dish and ABSOLUTELY recommending this place to everyone. I will be sure to be back to take advantage of the $45 bottles of wine and pasta specials this summer!! Authentic Italian pasta and authentic European hospitality. I would give 6 stars if I could

We came here on Easter Monday and were seated right away without a reservation. We got the garlic bread and Caesar salad to start. The garlic bread was fresh out of the oven and super garlicky. The Caesar salad had crisp lettuce and enough dressing to coat each leaf. For entrees, we got the Spaghetti alla Bolognese, Rigatoni alla Rustica, Baked Rigatoni and the house special Cannelloni. All dishes were fantastic and super flavorful. For dessert we got the tiramisu. Our server Paul played a trick on my sister (who went to the washroom) by giving us a plate with some chocolate and whipped cream, and we pretended to eat the tiramisu without her. It was a great prank but my sister didnt fall for it haha. Paul was exceptional during our first visit to Queens Pasta. We will definitely be back!

Based on the reviews I have to admit to being truly disappointed with my experience. First of all the service and staff were really nice that s not an issue. But the food was not good. My husband and I went for a special occasion meal that was far from special. We ordered a white wine spritzer ($11) and it was not carbonated in any way - Just wine and water, no spritz. I m neutral on the caprese salad ($15) and garlic bread ($8). They were fine but not great. The pasta was the main issue considering this is a pasta restaurant. Overcooked and over salted, it honestly had no flavour. We ordered the Penne Alla Carbonara ($24) and the Smoked Salmon Mafalda. ($26) They were shockingly bland. They came piping hot - almost too hot to eat - and surprisingly without any kind of bread on the side, which I would expect for a cream sauce pasta dish. It felt like cafeteria food that was scooped from a chafing dish. This was some serious British People Italian Food And I cannot overstate the salt. It was just way too much.

I got the chicken Parm. (So did the 3 others dining with me) The Food was really hot but you could tell the chicken must have been precooked then fried again. The edges were so dry you couldnt even cut through it. The flavour of the chicken and red sauce was good. Unfortunately the Pasta that came with it had a burnt garlic taste.

My fiancé and I got take out from Queen s pasta during the lockdown and immediately fell in love. This past weekend, we were in the area unsure of what to eat and decided to try dining in. We went right at the dinner rush without reservations and were told that we d have to wait a while but they were so nice about it (and we were hungry) so we stayed. Less than 5 mins later we got lucky with one of the best seats by the window. We ordered the chicken linguine like our first time and the seafood fettuccine.

A cute little place located on the west side of the GTA. The atmosphere was quaint and comfortable, you could spend hours just dining here with a close friend, chatting and having some wine.

We had a very lovely time until we were rudely kicked out. The waitress was super friendly all the way up to the bill/tip time. After it was all paid for, we were told to leave because another reservation was coming. Which normally we would have completely understood. However, there were a bunch of empty tables and an upstairs with multiple tables of 4 or more. They could have suggested we move tables if they needed THAT specific table. Just be aware that you are on a time clock. There is no time to fully enjoy the food, drinks, and company. Perhaps you guys should let patrons know when booking reservations that there is a time limit. Not just give us a 9 min warning. The food was great, but those last 5 min ruined it for us.

I dont think Ive ever been in a place that has service that can quite match the one I received at Queens Pasta Cafe. The staff was incredibly attentive, kind, professional and their service was exceptionally fast. The pasta has to be some of the best Ive had in my life, far nicer even than what Ive had in various places in Italy. The atmosphere felt nice and modern, but also felt very down to Earth and not overdone, which is something a lot of restaurants struggle with, but not Queens Pasta Cafe. It was just right. Not only do I recommend it, Ill be sure to come back!

December 21, 2023

We arrived with a party of 8. The staff, especially Tyler the manager (according to him), was reluctant to seat us given the size of our party. They finally seated us as if they had done us a favor, slamming the chairs as they were organising the seating arrangement and literally tossing the menus in our faces! AND then proceeded to inform us that we only had an hour and a half before we had to leave. There was literally two other tables seated in the entire restaurant at the time. The worst part - we voiced our concerns to the manager, total disregard and sarcasm characterised the response. We left. I rarely leave restaurant reviews but felt the need to leave this one. They surely went out of their way to make us feel unwelcome. Horrendous service - actually unbelievable.

Delicious food, outstanding service. Probably the most diverse and interesting Italian menu I have seen, including several vegetarian options. The portions are generous; regrettably I did not have room for dessert because the selection sounded delicious.

This place has a nice patio and a lovely inviting atmosphere inside as well. Good lunch menu along with their specials and reg menu, so youll definitely find something for everyone. Had the cheese lasagna and ceaser salad, both delicious! My female server wasnt too friendly or checked on me, Im sure she was busy, but all the other male staff were really nice, attentive, and friendly, so still 5/5.

Really enjoyed the pasta dishes here. They take some culinary liberties and experiment away from the standard dishes, while maintaining a homely atmosphere and hearty portions. Kid-friendliness: Completely kid-friendly, and the staff were kind enough to accommodate our stroller in the patio area.

The food was not what I remembered it to be. Service and setting were lovely but the pasta, etc.. was store bought. Not homemade. Sorry! :(

The food and service were very good, but the outside area was very crowded with chairs and tables, so that you often couldnt understand what you were saying because of the noise at the neighboring tables.

The service was amazing and very attentive but I did not enjoy the black and white pasta. I found it very bitter and the olives were not pleasant. I love squid ink pasta and shrimp but this did not taste very good. Ate the shrimp and tossed the rest. Lava cake was good but also kind of bitter. I really appreciate the waitress I could tell she was working very hard and was responsible for a lot of tables. It was hard to get her attention at times but there were a lot of bus girls walking around to grab if you needed something. We ate upstairs which was fine but the downstairs area and patio are much nicer.

Simply incredible food. Amongst the best Italian pasta I have ever had. Highly recommend

We ordered salad and penne Carbonara ( with cream instead the of eggs, which is wrong for original Carbonara recipe) , we split the pasta to two people. Few hours later me and my wife got really sick. Service was consider OK (3*), just had been pushed, feels like it was rushed , but the food definitely needs big improvement (-1*)

My friend & I came here, as we had checked the reviews which seemed alright. However we had an unpleasant experience & will not be coming here again. The place was not busy when we got there & we were both seated by a server who was proper, well-mannered. She was probably the only good part. We both ordered the Ravioli, which was offered very quick & did not taste fresh at all. It was very chewy & hard & tasted like it was microwaved. Either way, we were looking forward to the ravioli as ravioli lovers, but it did not turn out great. Despite the restaurant being empty (there were only about 8 people including us inside) & more than 3 staff members, we had to wait at least 10 minutes to pay our bill as they were all avoiding eye contact with us. (We were completely finished our meal & the staff did not appear to be busy. The server who had served us had ended her shift.). My friend & I are both 22, females & we felt ignored & that we should have recieved good treatment as the other (all older) customers. We did not tip because of the unpleasant service (& the meal) although we had initially been excited about trying the place out. We usually always leave tips for good service at restaurants.

This was my first time to this restaurant and lunch was absolutely delicious. Velika was our server, she was extremely professional which was nice to see. I would highly recommend this restaurant, it was certainly clean! Love the Burrrrrata Cheese! And the Essssspresso Martini! Vegetarian options: Burratta cheese is a must try. House salad with the citrus dressing was delicious

My wife and I have been coming to the Queens Pasta Cafe for a number of years now; normally once or twice per season. Its our go to for pasta in the area. I always get the chicken parm as my entrée. Sorry that I cannot brag about any of the other dishes; but my wife does have her couple favorite dishes that she mixes up with each visit. We share the bruschetta and any of their starter salads prior. We have never had a bad experience at Queens. The food is always excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean. Lastly, we recently discovered espresso martinis through a friend. Our first was at Queens Pasta and we were blown away. Since then, weve been going around Bloor West Village trying other espresso martinis elsewhere and have yet to find one nearly as tasty. We just got back from Queens, having an early supper. Sam Cooke was a good part of the background music, played at a nice volume. We could hear it and still have a conversation where we didnt have to speak over the music. Parking: A number of Green P parking lots on the north side of Bloor. Metered parking along Bloor. Or try your luck with side street parking in the area south of Bloor.

I have been meaning to write a review for a while. I have been coming to queen pasta for many years! And it does not disappoint. In fact it got better. Last week I went to have lunch with a friend and the pasta alle vongole was better than ever. It is refreshing specially when many restaurants are just cutting corners! Congrats
