Aqua E Farina Monkland - Montréal

What a gem!! The food and service were fantastic. Now on my list of NDG faves!!

Delightful experience. Food and service were spot on. Would definitely go back

Had lunch with friends. Many choices from their lunch menu. $20. Service was excellent. Very attentive and professional young man. Food was amazing. You would think you were in Tuscany eating lunch. Pasta with pesto was outstanding. Will definitely return. Wonderful neighbourhood restaurant. 

The service was attentive and the food was delicious. I would have given five stars except for the fact that our very simple straightforward orders of pasta with sauce took an hour to arrive. Also, the sausage addition to one of the dishes was very dry. When we got there, the restaurant was mostly empty but filled up quickly. I suspect that their kitchen was understaffed but given their popularity, there should have been a backup plan. We would have left earlier, allowing others at the door to be seated rather than being turned away. I would certainly dine there again since the food was delicious and ample portions so I took the rest home to finish the next day. It was just unfortunate that their kitchen staff could not keep up with demand on that day.

Service was prompt and friendly. This is not the first time we order Carbonara and they just can't seem to get it done without making it inedibly salty, which is disappointing from a restaurant specializing in Italian pasta. Also, it was cold and drafty inside. At leadt they offered us complimentary dessert.
