La Popessa - Montreal, Quebec

Really enjoyed our experience in the restaurant. As a self proclaimed Pasta Expert, it's hard to impress me! The texture of the pasta was just right, al dente. Their bolognese sauce is exquisite and the parmesano on top was great quality. I was pleased with the speed of the service ... and the very fair price. My wife's Pesto was excellent as well. I know the restaurant is under new management and it's easy to see the love and effort of the ownership as they look to improve the atmosphere and overall experience. Read more

Best Italian restaurant in town! Had lunch here for the first time with my boyfriend, and though there were so many options on the menu, we were so hungry so we ordered bolognese pastas directly. The sauce was cooked in special butter first and then well mixed with the pastas. Absolutely ... flavorful ! Their garlic bread was also great and super tasty, and the owner was kind enough to give us one extra for free :) This place is a great combination of great food, affordable price (they even have monthly unlimited plan) and great service, so I’ll definitely visit it more frequently!

I recently attended a networking event at La Popessa and had a very positive experience. The restaurant provided a perfect setting for the event, with its elegant and inviting atmosphere. The decor was stylish and elegant, creating a comfortable environment for mingling and conversation. The food was delightful. I had the ... and it was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce had just the right amount of spice. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were well-balanced. The presentation of the dishes was also impressive, adding to the overall dining experience. The staff did an excellent job accommodating the guests . They were attentive and professional, ensuring that everyone had what they needed throughout the event. The service was prompt, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations. One area for improvement would be the acoustics of the space. With a large group, it sometimes became a bit noisy, making it difficult to hear conversations. However, this did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience. Overall, La popessa is a fantastic choice for both dining and hosting events. The combination of great food, attentive service, and a pleasant atmosphere made for an enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to host a gathering or simply enjoy a delicious Italian meal. I look forward to returning in the future! Read more

THE place for delicious, quick, and flavourful Italian pasta and pizza! The staff are extremely friendly and efficient. I ordered the carbonara pasta, which was cooked in front of me with fresh ingredients, and had to go back for takeout the next day! Loved the large slices of pepperoni -- a ... unique addition for a typical pizza. Located in the heart of Old Montreal, La Popessa is a must! Read more

Had 2 Pop Pizza to go. Staff was very kind and efficient even if we were very near the closing time. Pizzas aren’t high end specialties but were tasteful, had plenty of toppings and everyone liked them. Good price quality ratio and perfect when you’re on the go!!
