I was craving some good old fashioned pasta so I did a search on Yelp and came across the Basil Pasta Bar on Davie street. The online menu showed a large variety of delicious sounding pastas and the majority of them were priced at $8.95 so I had to check this joint out.
The restaurant itself is located on Davie street right off the Granville strip. The interior itself is pretty small and the atmosphere is fairly average but I wasn't there for the decor, I was there for the pasta!
Once inside you order your meal up at the counter and when it's ready they'll bring it out to the table for you.
To start I ordered the Caesar Salad which was fantastic, loaded with fresh romaine lettuce, croutons, capers, parmesan cheese and creamy caesar dressing. I also ordered a side of the Garlic Bread, I really enjoyed it, it was a dark focaccia type bread oven baked to perfection with garlic butter, so tasty. Since I knew I was going to be reviewing the restaurant later on Yelp I ordered three pastas so I could taste a few of the most popular dishes all at once. The first pasta I ordered was the Penne Arrabiata, it was served up with a spicy tomato sauce, chorizo sausage, red peppers and garlic garnished with fresh parsley and creamy goat cheese, I absolutely LOVED it, it would most likely be my go-to choice. My second choice was the Fussily Primavera and it was absolutely LOADED with broccoli, zucchini, red peppers, carrots, tomatoes, spinach garnished with extra virgin olive oil and parmesan cheese, the dish was light, tangy and full of flavour! My third and final choice was the Chicken Curry Fettuccine which had the house special curry cream sauce with chicken, red peppers, peas, spinach garnished with fresh oregano, this was the only dish that was empty at the end of my meal so maybe it was the best of three? Who knows you'll have to go down and try them all for yourself. You be the judge!
In conclusion I absolutely loved this little hole-in-the-wall pasta joint. The prices were EXTREMELY reasonable, the portions were big, the service was great and most of all the quality of all three pasta dishes were well above average. If I'm ever in the area I won't hesitate to return!
fIrst time here . The staffs are super nice and warm . The tomato soup was tasty. The pasta portion is super huge. I would give it 10/10. Highly recommended this place for a easy weekday dining:)
Love the food and environment. First time I tried custom design pasta.
