After not seeing my sister for a few years due to the pandemic and her being across seas we decided when she got down our first dinner would be here. On Thursday night at 6 pm my family and myself got a nice spot outside as it was still warm out. We noticed most people were inside and we were the only group outside. Our waiter was very nice at first but noticed he got extremely overwhelmed maybe because we were a group of 5 or because he kept forgetting about us outside. The worst part about this entire evening was how sick I was and my sister. We both got the mussels and they had a weird smell to them but I only noticed after I ate half my plate. Let me tell you I regret that meal terribly ! We have been sick for days! my father meal was this extremely tough veal Milanese it was not good. What a let down. My mom got the smoked salmon and there was barely anything like no salmon. What a mess. It saddens me to write this but I'll most likely never be back here. After spending $350 on what was supposed to be a beautiful night out and a welcome back dinner for my sister this left us all sad and disappointed. read more

unfortunately, there are new owners and the previous owners did not give the new guys their pizza recipe. They have gone from one of the best pizza restaurants to one of the worst. I won't be back read more

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing - everything we tasted melted in our mouths. The escargots and squash ravioli were to die for. The lobster ravioli was delicious and the creme brulee and cheesecake were the perfect finishing touches. Location is perfect; with an incredible view. Absolutely one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Will definitely come back again and again. read more

This is a cute little Italian that can accommodate the entire family. We came on a blistery cold day with 2 kids. We were greeted by friendly staff and enjoyed the open plan. The food was very good and my husband absolutely loved the mussels and inquired why they don't taste this good in Boston? I had the spicy linguine and the girls had plane pasta with garlic bread. It was a nice spot and had it been a lovely day with sunshine we would have probably enjoyed it more. read more

Nous avons mangé 2 pizza. Ce n'était de la pate à pizza, très sèche, et le service était vraiment moyen. Nous avons commandé 2 bières, une est arrivée rapidement, et l'autre jamais... problème de keg... nous avons commandé une autre bière en remplacement, ils auraient dû être plus proactifs. read more

Great location with the view of lac Saint Louis .. Great on a sunny day sitting on the outdoor terrace .. reasonable prices and portions .. Misses on the little details example : staff changes should inform the customer that the waiter ended his or her shift and I will be serving you now .. the initial waiter should at least say good bye , Bday and anniversaries should at least be recognized by the server by simply saying happy bday or anniversary at the end of the meal .. that's it nothing more ... little details make the difference ... but I wish you all the best and stay and keep the customers healthy and safe ! read more

This place isn't good. Most people can make better Italian at home. Basic pasta plates. I took duck confit which was disappointing. You know a restaurant is bad when you can make better dishes at home. Decor is bad too. Service is acceptable. The only positive are the wine portions which are generous. read more

Pasta Andrea - Not impressed. Sauce looks like its from a can. Duck is mediocre.... - Italian Near Me - Lachine, Quebec

We've been to Pasta Andrea quite a few times before and were usually satisfied, which is why it doesn't give me great pleasure to write this. We had a reservation on a Friday night and went to enjoy a nice supper. Not only did we end up leaving after over an hour and 15 mins without our food, but we had to ask twice for our appetizers that took 45 mins to arrive. The waiter didn't come once to check on us or to tell us that it would take longer than expected, etc. Very, very poor service. read more

Back in the early 2000s (maybe even in the late 90s--hard to say because I was young then), Pasta Andrea was a regular spot for my family. But I hadn't been in many many many years. Tonight I returned, and we were served a solid Italian meal. Was it wow, no. Was it a bargain for the price, no. Was the food cooked just right and perfectly tasty, yes! It's a great spot for drinks and dinner, so enjoy. read more

The short version: absolutely *smashing* food; badly-made, piss-warm martinis; almost deliberately negligent service; the whole in a delightful riverside setting. I live nearby and have been eating here for years, off and on, and the pasta's always been reliable, if not downright memorable. Hadn't been in a while. So, when a friend offered to treat me to a late lunch this past Sunday, I decided a bowl of linguine by the river, al fresco, at Pasta Andrea would do nicely. I'd had serviceable gin martinis here a few years back, and felt confident in ordering them for my friend and me while we perused the menu. Mistake. The proportions tasted right, as in, there was definitely vermouth in them, and they were served in proper cocktail glasses. However, they came with olive instead of the requested lemon, they came with *lime wedges* as well, and they certainly hadn't been stirred with or shaken over ice. Jesus H. Christ, but this is the absolute worst town to be a martini drinker in. I should have stuck to Campari & tonic. We drank them anyway, because we both wanted booze in us. Ordering food was easy. Mademoiselle spotted a salmon spaghetti in rosé sauce on the table d'hote and need no further options, whereas I went with an à la carte mashup of linguine al pesto novello. Market salad for her, arugula salad for me. Asked for an order of bruschetta to nibble on, but was told it wasn't on for lunch; only for supper. Odd. A couple of glasses of Sangiovese topped off our orders. I find it goes well with pesto sauce. Bread arrived, one roll each. Looked like they came from the corner dépanneur, but they were immediately consumed. Bread barge was bussed and never refilled. Our water glasses were infuriatingly small, considering we were dining outdoors on such a bright-hot day. Getting refills involved standing up and attracting a waiter's attention every time, and once I had to go inside to ask. We kept draining our glasses, and they kept not refilling them. Somewhat maddening, considering the place was only filled to 30% capacity. Our salads arrived quickly, and immediately made amends for the poor drinks and lack of bread and water. Both were huge, near-overflowing platefuls of visibly fresh vegetables. Not a wilted leaf in sight. The light oil-and-vinegar dressing on my arugula salad was *perfect*, and the cheese shavings were delicious as well. Mademoiselle's mixed greens and tomatoes disappeared down her pie-hole like Flight 19 before I could blink, and she pronounced it excellent. The main courses followed after a reasonable interval. Again, full-sized portions. My friend's salmon spaghetti seemed to meet expectations- normally a gabby little creature, she lost all power of speech while she gorged like a lemon shark devouring a nest of eels. My own plate surpassed expectations. The pesto novello was a basic green pesto with the addition of rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes. They used actual pine nuts, too. The sauce was superb, needing only a bit of salt to make it one of the best pasta sauces I've tasted anywhere. My pasta itself was al dente, and the plate arrived *hot*. Ate all the bits of it, and felt I'd chosen damn well. I had to go inside again to get our plates bussed and ask for a dessert menu. Mademoiselle being addicted to tiramisu, reading it took her all of five seconds. Then we were told they'd run out of tiramisu and they were making a fresh batch. "Should be no more than ten minutes." She was undeterred and agreed to wait. I opted for a glass of grappa. The tiramisu in fact arrived in about three minutes, and was very beautifully served in a chilled cocktail glass- a variational presentation that did away with all but one of the lady fingers. Mademoiselle's eyeballs positively bulged as she tasted the first spoonful. She gave it top marks for flavor, and said she had never had one that tasted so fresh. Licked her glass clean like an anteater. Had to go back inside again to ask for the bill. And then again, to ask for the credit card to be taken away and swiped. And neither of us was being Type A impatient about things, either. They were really taking way too long between peeks at us, even by Montreal's very shitty standard of acceptable restaurant service. In New York City, these guys would have been raked over within thirty minutes, live on twitter. Restroom: Clean, perfectly usable, but a bit messy. This'd be a four-star review if the cocktails and the service had been even near acceptable, because the food that day was all top-quality, and the riverside view from the porch was idyllic. The waiters and busboys were unfailingly well-mannered, too- when we saw them. It's just that they seemed blissfully unaware of our presence throughout the entire meal except when they needed to bring out a plate. Will probably go back at some point, strictly for the food and the setting. Service will decide if it's my last visit. read more

If Macaroni Grill opened a restaurant in Montreal, it would probably be a lot like Pasta Andrea. Mix and match pastas, wine by the liter (or is it litre?) and really tacky artwork all make me feel like I'm back home in America. Like most generic Italian joints, some dishes are really good (calamari) and others not so much (the bruschetta). Credit to the waitress for being very patient with those of us who couldn't read french. If you live this close to Montreal, I'm sure you've got better options. If you're staying at a house just down Boulevard Saint-Joseph and want to stumble home after a few pitchers (yes, pitchers) of wine, this is your chance. read more

Got brought here for dinner on a Wednesday night around 7. The staff (Matt?) were kind enough to seat us in the section we had clearly been eyeing and was prompt with his service right from the start. He was incredibly knowledgable of the wine selection and was able to suggest a newly stocked bottle when the Shiraz we had wanted to order was no longer being offered. His serving etiquette itself was bar none. He knew the dishes to great detail and was easily able to convince my friend to take his suggested dish. It's the only place I've gone where the service staff specifically asked if we'd like an aspiratif. Bruschetta was offered while we waiting for our meals which included the asparagus soup, pasta duo, salmon main and creme brûlée. The food was delicious with little touches that really perfected the flavors and added great value to the meal. We were even offered sambuca to close the meal which was a nice effort on behalf of the management. The decor was cozy and hip with exposed wood, hand painted graffiti style wall, mirrors, mannequin legs and industrial lighting. I can't imagine how wonderful a dinner would be enjoyed here during the summer on the edge of the lachine canal. read more

We checked this place out after a recommendation from a friend. To be honest, it was one of the worst Italian restaurants I have ever been to. Not bad because of the food, but a combination of the service, price and the food. The waiter hadn't a clue about anything, not even what type of beers they carried and had to keep on going up and down the stairs to ask his colleagues questions. The bread was cold and the butter frozen (don't you just hate that!!) The pasta was hmm ok, a little bit on the kraft dinner side. Ambience is nice but the attitude and the food killed it for me. read more

What happened to Pasta Andrea? It's been well over seven years since I last ate here. Unfortunately today will be my last time eating here! I will certainly not be coming back. Which is quite unfortunate considering I "had" very fond memories of the restaurant. It's 1:15pm on a lovely sunny Saturday and only two tables are filling the restaurant. Yes, just two. That's a bad sign already. Yet, let's give it a try anyways. The looks, decor, and tables look.. Ok. Nothing to bribe about. In the background there was lovely Jazz music, sadly it was covered by the heavy metal full blast music coming from the kitchen. The chef and waiter didn't notice this?! Was it necessary for us to ask them to kindly turn it down?! We were a table of three and ordered three dishes. Two of them were cannelloni and the other was a pizza. Nothing too complicated, right? Well, it took 45 mins to arrive to our table. The food was warm, not hot. We were offered Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper. Good thing the pepper was fresh. Since the cheese clearly was grated months ago and came out of a bag! Ugh! My pizza(tomato sauce, goat cheese pesto, and mozzarella. Where is the pesto?!! Parsley is not pesto! Goat cheese is not Brie. Don't just cut think circles of Brie cheese mixed with goat cheese and slap it on top of the pizza at the price of $14.00. The cannelloni claimed to be made in house with fresh made dough. It clearly came from a package or simply was made days before and frozen. Sorry pasta Andrea, next time I will be heading to Little Italy for better quality and fresher food. This time, you've disappointed me. read more

Arrived at 11:30am on a Friday with a friend and was hoping for a table on the terrasse. The greeting by the hostess was less than welcoming, who said she would check to see if they could accommodate us without a reservation. She disappeared inside for nearly five minutes and then seated us at a table outside. The place was completely empty at this point - we were the only ones there. At around 12:15, people started showing up and the terrasse did fill up quite a bit. Unfortunately the clientele this place seems to attract is the loud, boisterous, obnoxious types. They seem to be regulars, as the waiters are all super friendly with them. One waiter in particular came out of the restaurant yelling and singing to his table of "friends" - it was very rude for the rest of us, who had to stop talking & wait til he was finished. Now, the food. The stracciatella soup was awful! Vegetable broth from a Campbell's can with some egg and (potato????) - that doesn't belong in there!!! Tasteless. I had two spoonfuls. The veal Parmesan on the table d'hôte was well priced ($15) but you get what you pay for. The tomato sauce was bland. Pasta was well cooked, but the veal was small and nothing special. The dessert was a Crème Caramel. Where was the caramel?? All I could taste was the orange slice they put on top of it. My friend and I are both Italian - the rest of the clientele here was French (and all seemed to love the food). I think our taste can be trusted more than theirs! Won't be back. Ever again. So disappointed! read more

As someone who knows, Lachine very well and grew there. Pasta Andrea has been my number one go to restaurant. The place is usually very full during the weekends and, on Friday's nights. The service is amazing, and the food is delicious. My friends, and other family members have adored this restaurant dearly. Totally recommend for those, who comes to Lachine. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try something new last night and Pasta Andrea did not disappoint. We both loved the look and layout of the restaurant, the staff was very nice and attentive. Our food came within 15 minutes, and was very delicious. We will definitely be coming back to try other dishes. read more

I've heard so much positive reviews about this place, but was very disappointed. The service was not the best even though only two tables were busy. The food was terrible! My seafood smelled a bit and I couldn't eat it. Will never come back! read more

Food is good. Great eating outside in summer. Been there at least 20 times, had only one so so experience.

Nothing special - my veal scaloppini was dry - and pasta is pasta... English on the website but not on the menus - funny because there were many English speaking customers read more

I was eating with my family today I was an unpleasant experience The waiter did not have a English menu told us to go to the web site For desert we never got it but charged to the bill which one memener of your group paid for it . We asked him he tolda they do not have that type of desert but never offer alternative The services was poor to say the least and the food as just ok read more

In a city with hundreds of Italian eateries to chose from, and being a local couple who has dined at numerous dining options throughout the city, it is refreshing to be surprised. A friendly welcome is a harbinger of things to come, as we look over an appealing menu featuring Table d'Hôte specials. I have developed a habit when dining at a place for the first time to check the washroom to see if it's clean, and try the soup to see if the chef knows what he is doing. On both counts Pasta Andrea wins. The washroom was spotless, and the fennel soup simply delicious. I chose pasta with white clam sauce and a nice green salad, and my guest chose one of the Table d'Hôte choices called Duo Pasta, which came with dessert and coffee. Everything was delicious. Service was great too. read more

Being my first visit to any restaurant in Lachine this was my daughter's choice as it was close by to her new home. We opted to sit inside as we did not want to be bothered by bugs outside - however many patrons seemed happy to sit in the sun. This is a simple, casual spot for basic Italian food. We were promptly seated at a nice table and offered a complimentary bruchetta on toast. The house red wine was tasty and went well with our pasta dishes. I ordered the manicotti which was pretty good but found the tomato sauce to be a bit runny. The crusty rolls were tasty but the butter was frozen and not allowed to soften before serving. Desserts were good. Service throughout was attentive. Also, the bathroom was nice and clean. Pasta Andrea was o.k. and I will probably visit again if in the area but will try some other establishments first. read more

This used to be my "go to" restaurant. Good food, great views, friendly staff. I would bring all my out of town guests. Then slowly but surely, it started going downhill rapidly. I kept going back refusing to let go of this "used to be" great place, hoping it was just a hiccup. Maybe I could speak to the owner, I thought. Went back last Friday (For the last time!) when the owner rudely told me to leave the table I was seated at, after an employee had just seated me there. I'm done! Going out and spending your money, to be treated with disrespect....No thank you. Regardless of your incredible location, may you learn the hard way, that you cannot treat the people that fill your pockets this way read more

Andrea is actually down the street on 32nd Ave and the waterfront, this "Andrea" on 17th is a similar restaurant named Andrea "L'Athentique." Looks like they just copied the name or maybe it was one partner that left the real Andrea on 32nd. They have stock pasta and a selection of pizza, and a decent (yet sometimes poorly stocked) Italian wine list. The restaurant is split between two or three levels under some apartments. The one on 32nd Ave is amazing, they just moved into the newly renovated building and do consume the entire building (they added on a lot of new space even.) The real Andrea has an amazing menu with a full kitchen and a beautiful wine cellar encased in glass walls as you enter. Still these guys on 17th are worth much more than one star as the previous review gave. I give them three to four because the service has always been good and friendly, and usually pretty quick. This Andrea is a good restaurant and for a real dining experience go to the big Andrea on 32nd (you'll pay a bit more there though but worth it.) read more

Food was amazing. Perfect location near the lake shore and the service was also great. Spent the afternoon on the terrace. Highly recommended. read more
