Pastafino Restorante -- Classy Encounters by Charles M. at InsiderPages
Saturday, October 08, 2005
Everytime I'm in Allendale I always see a big crowd at Pastafino Restorante especially at dinnertime. I never thought I would ever get a chance to eat at that place but I did... and twice! People do love their Italian food!
The first thing that needs to be done is to make a reservation. If you don't then you are definitely taking a big chance. We had a big party the first time we experienced this place so we managed to get the true flavour of what this restaurant had to offer.
The menu selection is incredible. Everything on there makes your mouth salivate with anticipation of the food coming out. You can't find a bad selection at all so don't worry about what you are ordering. The staff is very accommodating and friendly, and patient at times for those of us who are indecisive.
The restaurant is a good medium size place. When you have a big party, you quickly realize how tight a fit it can be at at times.
Is this place expensive? Surprisingly it's not. It's very reasonable and given the portions that are served to you, you definitely can't complain at all. All wines are available for you to match any entree you order from the menu.
Parking is plenty in the lot across the street. Like I said, just be weary of the crowd that forms quickly at dinnertime. You want to make sure you don't miss out on experiencing what Pastafino has to offer.
PROS: Great selections, wonderful food
CONS: none
