Basil Pasta Bar - Vancouver

I recently visited Basil Pasta Bar and had a great experience. The food was delicious, the prices were affordable, and the ambiance was decent. It's a counter-service type of restaurant, which adds to its casual and laid-back atmosphere. The alcohol prices were also quite reasonable. We tried the Penne Arrabiata and the lemon chicken fettuccine, and both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. However, my personal favorite was the lemon chicken fettuccine—it had a zesty and refreshing taste that really stood out. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring we left the restaurant feeling satisfied. While the food was excellent, I found the vegetable minestrone soup to be a bit underwhelming. It lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for, and it didn't quite match the quality of the pasta dishes. Unfortunately had to throw most of it. Overall, Basil Pasta Bar is a great spot if you're looking for delicious pasta at affordable prices. The counter-style ordering makes it quick and convenient, perfect for a casual meal. I highly recommend trying their lemon chicken fettuccine—it's a delightful combination of flavors.

This pasta was literally the worst pasta me and my friend have ever had. it had no taste, we ordered pesto and it was just the most disgusting pesto ever. it had hair in their chicken, and the whole thing was just terrible. the cheese wasn';t even cheese, it just stuck to everything like concrete. we couldn't even break it. i feel like the ingredients they used were expired. i really want a refund for how expensive this was, because it was actually the worst thing i've ever had.

I ordered the Pesto Shrimp Linguine which came with a generous sprinkling of parmesan shavings. The shrimps were small, but they made up for it in quantity. Although the sauce was on the heavier side, taking your time to eat will help with digesting all the carbs.

This was our first time here and we loved it. The service was friendly and fast. Our food arrived quickly, was steamy hot and delicious! We ordered: Fussily Primavera w/ salad and Lemon Chicken fettuccine w/ garlic bread, portions are large!

This is a cosy little pasta place. We tried lemon chicken fettuccine and BC smoked salmon fettuccine. The lemon chicken fettuccine had cheese grated in large sheets but that did not create any unwanted textures. The cheese sauce used in the chicken fettuccine was rich, creamy, and lemony and the salmon fettuccine was irresistibly delicious! Both the dishes were bursting with flavors!
