Scarolies Pasta Emporium

Great Italian restaurant near Pierrefords. Went on a Friday night around 6pm. Had two people with no reservation. Places was very busy, but the front of the house is rum so efficiently and the wait was only like 15 minutes. To sit down. Service was friendly and helpful. Had a could drinks to start, Daquari and a Negroni, both were decent size and tasted good. The waiter brought us a warm bread with some oil and balsamic on side to dip into. The Ceasar Salad was excellent, the dressing was flavorful and creamy. For mains we had a Roasted Rack of Lamb, and the linguini pasta in cream sauce with shrimp and mushrooms (Linguini con Gamberetti alla Brandy Rosa) We were stuffed, but couldn't pass up dessert to go for later. A strawberry cake, and tiramisu. Overall the food was done well and tasty. The service was great. Atmosphere was nice and lively. Would be great to bring large groups, saw a lot of larger tables of 6 or more there (obviously with reservations). Would recommend and will be one of our go to options when in the area in future trips.

What can be said about Scarolies? Yummy! Must-go! Delicious! Great value! Fantastic service! It really is a place worthy of being called a pasta emporium. The food is awesome and come in big portions so you'll have leftovers ready to enjoy again the next day. There is a lot of staff who are very focused on tremendous customer service. It's very popular so make sure to get a reservation.

It was alright. We had the lunch menu. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiano? Actually not sure about what dish. With a lentil soup, which was meh. "Un bon bol de brun" but the only other choice was Minestrone and I have never been a fan of it, regardless. The meal was fine. Scarolies is a safe choice for lunch or dinner, because everyone will find something they like. Heads up on portions. The lunch portions were massive. And apparently the dinner portion sizes are twice what we had. Definitely a great place to have leftovers. Generous portions

The food here was great m! They had so many pasta options to choose from, the table bread was fantastic, and our server was kind and attentive—top marks for the food and service. That said, the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. We came in around 4:50 PM on a Sunday, and the place was packed to the point of chaos. Patrons were constantly bumping into our chairs, and some were downright rude, unapologetically shoving past each other and us. It was frustrating trying to navigate to the bathroom with people practically running into me, and it felt like basic courtesy was missing from the dining room. The food is absolutely worth it, but unless the restaurant can better manage the crowd or address the behavior of certain guests, I’d only recommend ordering takeout to enjoy the amazing dishes without the stress.

A huge restaurant with a great service in Pointe-Claire :) We went for lunch and started with the mushroom cream soup which was really tasty! We then moved onto the main meal where I had the Chicken breast with rice and veggies while my partner had veal with pasta and super delicious ❤️❤️ Cannot wait to come back for dinner at this 10/10 restaurant as it’s the perfect venue to bring family and friends and have a wonderful time 🎉🎉

I've been to Scarolies multiple times, and it never disappoints! Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious, and the service is just as fantastic. The portions are huge, and the fresh baguette is unlimited—a rare and wonderful touch. It does get very busy, so I highly recommend making a reservation. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a special occasion, you’re in for a treat!

The place had so many waiters to make sure the service was impeccable. The food was amazing. Will definitely come back soon.

Food portion is super, but except lamb.. lamb rack too tiny..we asked divided to 2 plates, but still .. most dangerous parts is toilet flash handle,, broken… super sharp.. hopefully can change better.

Whatever your dietary regime they have something to please your tastebuds and leave a smile on your face. It's not an everyday restaurant but you need to treat yourself to some gourmet food once in a while and enjoy the great service offered by its servers and their French hot baguet and balsamic olive oil starter. The lamb chops rack and t-bone steak a dishes that you want to try if you are a carnivore and if not try their overwhelming salad dishes.

Only a mile and a half to 2 miles from the airport, Marriott is a great restaurant to take a short Uber ride to. I would rate this as a great find in the Montreal suburbs. The outside appearance is charming and inviting. The interior and ambiance are also a good vibe. The entire wait staff was very attentive and right on point. The food matched the service. My friend had a whole lobster over a bed of pasta and some gnocchi. The lobster was perfectly cooked. The temperature was just right, and it was sweet and succulent. I had the chicken cacciatore the pasta was spot on, being perfectly al dente. The sauce was delicious. The tomatoes were super fresh. My only comment would be the chicken could have a little more spice to it. Overall a great experience, and I would undoubtedly return.

Our reservation for six people but the table is in the middle of the aisle, server keeps passing by my back with food on top of my head. I feel so annoyed. Then the server elbow my head, I'm speechless. Food wise, I remember the lamb is good. That's it.

This is a magnificent place in every way, and has been for years. The manager (owner?) walks around to check personally with each and every table about how they like their food and service. I find this to be an exceptional attitude. The food is superb and first class, probably top quality food critic stuff too. The waiters and waitresses are also true professionals who talk with you and their friendliness is a big motivator to going back here again and again. The quality never changes, even during very busy times like on our last visit just a few days ago. The decor and ambiance is also very warm and refreshing. There are large windows all around and a central, rounded ceiling with lighting.

Great selection. Great value. We live the bread! They are alway busy so make sure to book in advance .

This place is very known in the west island If you love pasta this is the place to go, so many different choices, there's a choice for everyone. They also have pizzas and other dishes The thing that I love here is that they serve you fresh hot bread with oil and vinegar, which I'm obsessed with. Plates are very big, it might be that you won't be able to finish you plate. The place is pretty big and nice, they have a nice patio in the summer aswell. This place is always packed when I've been, so I would suggest to get a reservation just in case. They have a good selection of mine and cocktails. Definitely recommend this place for small or big groups.

First time at Scarolie's last night. I'd always seen it full and put off going, but what a surprise. The quality of the food was outstanding and portions enormous. I would have liked to try their dessert selection but I was pleasantly stuffed. Next time, cause I will be back. Ryan was our server and Steve the Maitre D and both were very pleasant and efficient. As for ambiance, it's a great restaurant with many repeat customers, therefore very busy , no complaints here. I most certainly will return and highly recommend them.

Perfection doesn't exist except at Scarolies. The food was an Italian culinary experience, please go with friends so you can share. We had fried calamari, literally melting in my mouth, Italian meatballs don't forget to add Parmesan on it, the fresh salad with raisin, grapefruit, feta cheese. I forgot to take a pic of our penne a la GiGi creamy flavorful and the rib eye medium (forgot to take a pic ). The server was smilling the whole time, good customer service.

I love this place!!! Used to come here all the time. Haven't been back in years, I met up with a few friends for dessert on a Sunday night in the West Island so I came here for dinner. The free bread which is already a pillow of softness, comes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yo that's awesome. The fried calamari hits the spot, not too much batter and tender inside. Their portions are generous. Their rosée sauce is my favorite and always tastes good every time I come. They have multiple table d'hôte under 30$, what? I had the linguini with giant shrimp in rosée sauce with brandy. Could barely finish it. 27.95$ wow. The service is friendly and efficient. Love this place. Will make the effort to come more often even though it's far for me.

First time at Scarolies. Found on internet review because the popularity. The quantity is more than enough. I noticed that everyone must take out for left over. Calamari is very tasty even not seasoned. A half pitcher of sangria is enough to share with two persons. Loved the baguette bread. I want to highlight that our waitress is very friendly and helpful. Probably first time to highlight the service. For the price, you can't go wrong.

I think this place can be considered my favourite italian restaurant in West Island. Since they only do takeouts now (Covid-19), we ordered by phone and went to pick it up! The portions were huge and they also offered a whole bread and cheese on the side for the pasta dishes. I highly recommend if you live in West Island.

So much pasta!! Lots of pasta dishes to choose from and all of them looked and tasted so good. Saucy and fillling. The bread and oil/vinegar appetizar was also great

Visited this place again recently. Was able to get a spot without reserving ahead of time, though it was very busy on a Monday night. Service was flawlessly bilingual and very friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable, considering the huge volume of food you get! As soon as you're sat down, you get a whole fresh load of bread and some olive oil and balsamic for dipping. The bread is soft and very good - not the best I've had but reasonably good. I'd like if the oil had a bit of salt in it. I got one of the table d'hote offerings (there's a long list) which come with a choice of soup (minestrone or soup of day, which in my case was lentil) or salad (italian or caesar). The caesar salad was very good and sizeable, with plenty of dressing and cheese added (not so healthful, but you're not here if you're dieting). My linguini dish came out hot and nicely sauced with a rich brandy cream concoction, with plump shrimps on top. It was a big portion (easily shareable, honestly) and delicious. I'd like if the shells were easier to separate from the shrimp though. It was a bit difficult with the sauce, though they did give you a small fork to aid with the process. Overall this is great american italian food.

Ahhh yes, classic scarolies. Comforting because while it's not great, you always know it's going to be good.

Always enjoyed their restaurant, had a rough patch a few years ago and recently started going again... Food and service is good again, family, friends and the kids are happy and satisfied - good balance of good food and value, service is overall very good. Always a pleasure and look forward to them every time :)

I've been coming to this restaurant for years. And with good reason. The restaurant is large enough to accomodate large groups where you can sit together but intimate enough that you can still have a romantic date. Menu: they have a large selection of pasta, pizzas, salad and main dishes. I always love to eat their pasta because theres so much variety. It's also great to dip the unlimited bread into. Price: a I love coming here for lunch to take advantage of their table d'hote offering. You really get your bang for your buck with a full meal.

Amazing! We had reservations for 24. My meal was the Linguine Pescatore and it was excellent! Mussels, scallops, shrimp, and octopus with red sauce. The flavor was wonderful. At the end of the meal, the waiter said it is really good with the Alfredo sauce, too. Next time I'll try that!

Been coming here on and off for a decade plus! The food is excellent and the service is attentive. I recently had the chicken Parmesan and spaghetti with arrabbiata sauce and it was excellent. Their seafood pasta options are great and I loved the Gorgonzola pasta I had there one time.

One of the worst pasta I've ever had not only was the sauce super gross and tasted like dish water the owner of the place was so egoistic and pompous it made me wanna puke I would never come back here again even if you paid me to eat there. The food was grotesque

Our group of 5 tried Scarolies for the first time on an early Saturday afternoon around 2pm. We were seated promptly and offered complimentary baguette bread to dip into oil and balsamic vinegar. The bread was delicious, toasty, fresh and all you can eat! We browsed through the extensive menu and ordered a variety of dishes like the calamari, chicken and spaghetti, "Pappardelle alla Giovanni", "Linguini Pescatore" and tortellini with cream sauce which were all generous in sizing and fairly priced. If you are a seafood lover you will be pleased with the offerings here, the Linguini Pescatore dish had lots of big shrimp, mussels, calamari, clams, scallops - it is a real feast. Whatever kind of pasta you may want, this emporium lives up to its name. I do not usually order desert at restaurants but once they came around with the platter showcasing a variety of cakes and pastries, I had to get something. I tried a creme brulée and it was perfectly unctuous, creamy and sweet. Great food all around, cozy setting and impeccable service.

Best pasta joint in town hands down, many choices and variety. Their bred is also awesome. Had at least 4-5 serving. Can't find a better place that is worth your money. Scarolies is definitely a must go.

I have dined quite a few times at Scarolies over the years and enjoyed it very much . We went last weekend with another couple and requested a booth . We were shown to our table which was on the north side of the building where the washrooms are . Right next to our booth was a door used by employees. There was a fair amount of traffic in and out of that door and several times the door was left open . I was shocked to see the wall on the inside of that doorway . Black with fingerprints and filthy . Makes me wonder how clean the rest of the place is . Disgusting. I will not go back .

This is a very large and busy restaurant with class. The food is excellent. The service was very good, servings were extremely large. The quality of food was on par with some of the best Italian I have eaten. You won't be disappointed here!

Went there a few months ago and had a delightful night. A very calm aspect to the restaurant, relatively quick service and some very good Italian cuisine.

Belle ambiance, service sympathique et avec classe. Excellent salade Caesar, table d'hôte à prix abordable et plats raffinés et d'excellente qualité. Nous reviendrons!

Let's start with the positive. The food was good. Plenty of people on friday lunch time. But here is the negatives: There was a fan blowing cold air in the lower middle section where no one was seated and where the clueless "seater/maitreD" first brought us, even though I specifically asked to be seated in a very crowded area... Who wants a fan blowing cold dusty air in an air conditionned restaurant ? Not me. I pointed to the upper section and the semingly annoyed man host brought us to the table of our choice. Better table, but their menu is way too massive...it is beyond heavy for certain people to even hold. This section was much better, but it came with the coldest , uncharismatic, robotic server I have ever had the unfortunate chance of getting. There was no greeting involved, he just pivoted from his other table and asked me in a low mumble "Do you want me to bring you a beer?" I asked him if he was actually talking to me, then asked him "How about presenting yourself first and addressing all 4 of us?" How about "Hello, my name is Chris, can I offer you...." He looked annoyed. Our catatonic waiter Chris actually ended his lackluster performance by switching the bill's numbers on the interac machine from $47...to $74...!!! Then blamed it all on dyslexia, as a joke! Wow. Very badly placed comedy from a person with no perceiveable personnality. 2 stars because the staff is just TERRIBLE. Again, good food, but horrible Twilight Zone experience. Stay away from Chris, the balding, never smilling, unsympathetic, mistake maker. He also liked to fill everyone's water except for mine...etc...etc... It might have been the full moon in full effect.

I ordered 4 antipasto & 1 tiramisu. Everything was VERY Unfresh! I gave this place 2 chances and both time is it very disappointing! Never go back again.

Scarified is a great go to pasta restaurant in the West Island with so many varieties and items to choose from there's no way you can wrong. There tends to be a line up on busier days like Friday and Saturday but it still worth the wait. When you walk in your transported back to Italy with clouded sky painted ceilings and bold wooden arcs as decor. One you Get seated and settled in the waiter will bring over a whole baguette for you to dip in a olive oil and balsamic vinegar mixture. Any appetizer I've tried has been fantastic but I'd defiantly recommend the mussels. And for a pasta dish any of the ones are great and even better if you switch your pasta for gnocchi ;) If you manage to find room for dessert go for any of the slices of cake they have !

Ambiance, food and service are good! We were served by Richard (if im not mistaken). He is a young gentleman, very polite and we were very happy the way he served us. We went there Sunday lunch at 1pm and they are open. However, this yelp account says it is "close". I hope someone fix it.

I lived in the West Island for years but never had the opportunity to try this place until now. I had a craving for pasta recently and ordered a spaghetti carbonara and spaghetti bolognese. The spaghetti carbonara came swimming in oil. The first few bites tasted good but I had to stop eating after a while because the extra grease got me queasy. The spaghetti bolognese was generous in portion but they skimped on the meat sauce so the spaghetti ended up being dry. The meat sauce tasted like something out of a jar. I've had better spaghetti from my highschool cafeteria. Both dishes cost $20+ each so I was expecting higher quality. Not impressed. The only highlight was the free baguette that came with the meal.

ATMOSPHERE: It's a very nice restaurant with lovely Italian decor. It's beautifully designed but also makes you feel homey with its warm colors. FOOD: The pastas are all delicious but heavy. You can tell that all of their sauces are all homemade. I also really enjoy their rack of lamb although their sauce does contain a lot of pepper so if you're not a fan of pepper, you might not like the dish as much. The meat is tender and has a nice flavor to it. And their fried calamari is delicious! Overall, every time I come here; I am usually very happy with my meal. PRICE: It's decently priced if you compare it to similar restaurants. Although I do find some pastas to be overpriced, they do offer a table d'hotes menu which includes an appetizer and is usually a little less expensive. SERVICE: The service is always great. They make sure that you always have freshly cut up bread on the table and are always attentive.

Absolutely adore this restaurant, in-fact it's actually even my favorite takeout. Dining In is always a pleasure -- wonderful ambience and I've never been disappointed with the service. However, with take-out they do not miss a beat. The meal is always prep to perfection, the temperature accurate, they always throw in there amazing baguettes and cannot forget the great packaging.

I went to Scarolies for a relative's birthday party this weekend. The cheeky interior design and the large, comfortable seating made for the perfect space to host a family event. However, the service was subpar and the food was meh at best. I ordered a kale, mango, asparagus and chicken salad from the list of weekly specials and asked if it was possible to replace the chicken with zucchini, as I am vegetarian. The waiter said that would be no problem. However, when my salad was brought out, it was literally just a pile of romaine lettuce with a handful of grilled zucchini on top... When I finally tracked down the waiter, he tried to tell me that I read the menu wrong and that the salad of the day was actually a seafood salad. The menu clearly said "Insalata di Pollo Chipotle". I remember explicitly because I had taken a photo of the menu before ordering. When I told this to the waiter, his response was, "Yes, pollo. A seafood salad." What??? Even if it was a seafood salad, it had said it was a kale base with almonds, mango and asparagus and the salad he brought me had no toppings whatsoever. The waiter offered to go get the menu so I could see *my* mistake. However, when he came back from the kitchen he admitted that he was the one in the wrong and brought me a side plate with mango and asparagus that I could slide onto my bed of romaine lettuce. Overall, a very disappointing experience, food wise.

Food: I had the cacciatore pizza off the menu special. It was a 10"-12" flat pizza with Chicken, Olives, and Red Bell Peppers. The special came with a choice salad or bruschetta. Servings of healthy portions of food. Cost: $17.95 Service: We were seated immediately with reservations. Danny, the waiter, is easy going, knowledgeable and attentive. He spoke clearly and his performance was flawless. Restrooms were clean. Staff was very polite. I will definitely eat here again. Scarolie's menu attached (See photos)

It started wrong. We reserved a table of 8 for 20h45. I arrived 5 minutes earlier, but the table wasn't ready, when I asked them at what time will I get my table they said that I will have to wait for at least 15 minimum, because they had a waiting list. That's the perfect example of bad management. However, I noted a good point, the young hostess was nice, and she offered us bruschettas while waiting. Another thing I didn't like, was when I went to the bathroom I noticed that the hand soap was mixed with water. On the other hand, the waiter was polite and messy, we had to repeat several times our orders, which he even messed up, same for the bills. Food was less than average, tomato mussels were salty, portobello portions were too small. Finally the peanut butter chocolate cake was good.

Big portions for good food, for a good price. No wonder why they're packed even on a Wednesday night! Nice interior with chandeliers, tall Roman-like columns, and ceilings painted like the sky. Perfect for families and large groups... But wouldn't recommend for a quiet dinner with your bae. For starters, try the fried calamari - fresh and crispy. Or the fried zucchini - big pieces of freshly breaded zucchini (served with a strange goopy sauce tho). Both excellent! The antipasti plate was alright but nothing to rave about. Same with the dinner entrees unfortunately. From the grilled salmon to the spaghetti bolognese, all of our entrees where a bit underwhelming. While the dinners were cooked perfectly, everything seemed to be under seasoned. The bolognese didn't have enough meat, the red sauce was under seasoned, the salmon was bland... But everything was cooked so nicely! And presentation was on point too! Scarolies just needs a little more umph to their food and sauces. Hands down I would award them another star if the food was jazzed up just a smidgen more. Still a great Italian establishment in Montreal!

We had a wonderful lunch here. A very nice red wine paired well with my pasta dish. The warm bread is delicious and the portions are enormous. I ordered the half portion of a pasta primavera. It had mushrooms, peppers, broccoli and spaghetti in a mild tomato cream sauce. The decor is very cute and I would return to this little gem in a strip mall.

I can't believe I've never written a review for this restaurant. This place is amazing. I've been coming here for years and it's never disappointed me. I don't often give 5 stars but i really feel this place deserves it. The staff is always efficient and courteous. The fresh baked bread is excellent. As difficult as it may be, try not to fill up on the bread as the meals are large and delicious. If you like seafood, I definitely recommend you try the linguini pescatore. Do not pass up a chance to go here if you are in the West Island. Make reservations as this place can be quite busy. It's a great place for any occasion.

I've been coming here for years whenever I'm in town and generally leave very impressed. I most recently ate here a couple of days ago and while it wasn't the best experience, I still stand by this place. This place can get busy and noisy at dinner time, so I generally elect to come a little earlier. Plus, it also allows me to order of the menu of the day which includes salad and dessert - a steal in my opinion. Service can be spotty but is generally good - I see the same staff over and over so the restaurant has good enough owners to keep staff there over the years. Food is yummy and includes all you can eat bread. There are lots of options to choose from and prices on the menu are fairly typical for Canadian Italian. Overall, this place has always been memorable and hard to replicate for me in my own city so I do enjoy coming here. I wasn't thrilled about the $3 sauce change charged to my bill the other day or the not as fresh bread, but I still think this place offers some pretty great food in Pointe Claire.

We were seated right away without a reservation which was pretty cool. The linguini pescatore was on point. The seafood was cooked well. The sauce was delicious! Their bread was fresh, hot and moist. The place does get busy so a reservation is recommended. We just got lucky. The prices tend to be a little high considering Canada does have double taxes on everything.

To start off, yay for fresh baguettes! This place is delicious! Ive gone a few times and have really enjoyed my meal. Last time I got the angel hair pasta with seafood. Delicious. A bit heavy, but got to have it for lunch the next day

Worst service I've had in Montreal. Reservation at 7.30, sat down at 7.55. Managed to order at 8.15... I've waited longer for good food but this wasn't worth it.

Food is great, service is very good and we had a nice family outing. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants some good Italian. We went there with our kids and they too had fun as are well. If you are in the area then u should pass-by.

Scarolies is one of my favorite places to go for a nice Saturday night dinner. Out of the many times I've been, the food has been out of this world so I can depend on it for a nice dinner night out. They have all kinds of pasta dishes to suit everybody's tastes alongside some other dishes if you feel like having something else like a luxurious rack of lamb or a nicely made pizza. When seated, you are brought a baguette sliced at your table with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to hold back your hunger until the main course. As for the pasta itself, I've never not enjoyed a pasta dish there myself and they have a large variety. Pastas from basic spaghetti and meatballs to a seafood linguini with scallops, mussels, clams and jumbo shrimps. The portion size is large and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. You can easily spend under $20 and bring food home for lunch tomorrow! Scarolies is very worth it and is a unique experience and accessible as its right across from the Fairview terminus. Should you find yourself with extra time for lunch or want a nice outing, drop by Scarolies Pasta Emporium

My favourite Italian restaurant! Best service Best parmesan Best warm bread Best prices!

I personally love this place. From the atmosphere and decor, to the staff, to the awesome food - you can't go wrong. I usually go for their table d'hote menu options. Their pastas and meat cuts are so filling and tasty and portions are great for the price you're paying. I personally love their rack of lamb and any pasta. Although I will say that their tomato-based pastas can be a tiny bit bland but that's just me! They also give you fresh bread and cut it up for you to dip in their balsamic vinegar and olive oil mix. So good!

Favourite pasta place where you get your money worth this was a takeout order of linguini pescatore

I love this place!!! This is the truly Italian restaurant. I'm from Dallas TX and every time I'm in town on business trip I always have to come here and order "Capelli d' Angelo con Scalope e Gamberi". The servers are very friendly and accommodating.

This restaurant took me out of near YELP retirement. After 418 reviews, this one is in the worst 10 of all time! Food was terrible, the service was clumsy at best. I've had better frozen pizza, and the rest... Just avoid. This place shouldn't still be here after this many years.

If your looking for great Italian appetizers, pasta dishes and meat dishes, look no further, Scarolies is your stop! It's been years that I've been coming to scarolies. The service is exceptional and the food is delicious! They also make outstanding pizza if your not in the mood for pasta or steak. The pasta, meat and pizza portions are perfect! They also serve pipping hot bread that is baked on premises.The managers of the restaurant are awesome! There always there taken care of quality and service. Make sure you call for reservations, the place is always packed! I drive 30 minutes to come eat here. Well worth the trip! Every time! Hats off scarolies, awesome Italian food.
