| - Spending the day in W-S recently, I walked up and down Main Street, popping in and out of stores, and restaurants seeing what the locals were saying and what offerings tempted my taste buds.
As the days heat beat me down, and my hunger reached unnatural levels I stumbled upon a beautiful brick enclosed patio within eyesight of the GO Station. I'd seen this building when Google Earth creeping the town and figured I would make this one last stop in before deciding where to eat.
Pastaggio has been in this location for several years, however the local Italian family that owns and operates Pastaggio has been serving delicious eats to the Markham-Stouffville area for over 15 years. With mamma working in back cooking all the meals, and the rest of the family working together to keep the front of house humming, you can feel the sense of 'family" from the moment you walk in.
While the exterior might lead you to believe that Pastaggio might be a touch dated because of the historical look of the building, you'll be pleasantly surprised to discover that the interior is modern and classically decorated. Perfect for a romantic dinner for 2, Lunch/Dinner with a group of friends, or just to stop in for a quick espresso at the bar.
I opted to sit inside to seek refuge from the day's heat and started to look through the menu - delicious! As you all may know, I'm not one to go out for Italian food as I can usually make most items myself at home. That being said, the menu here was tempting enough to have me coming back, and soon!
Not wanting pizza or pasta, I inquired if they were doing anything special that day for lunch, and without skipping a beat my server told me about their delicious veal burger. Made specially for them, it's 100% ground veal chuck (no beef - meaning it's similar to a meat ball in taste), served with my choice of traditional paninni toppings.
This sounded right up my alley and paired with my choice of side salad (all for $10.95 + cost of toppings) I was sold. My Veal burger arrived shortly there after topped with Italian hot peppers, Rapinni, Provolone Cheese and Mushrooms!
It was unbelievable! A totally different taste then a typical burger and with the topping selection I didn't require any traditional burger toppings (ketchup, mustard, etc) - and man oh man... those hot peppers, WOW!! Hot and Amazing.
I'm excited to return to Pastaggio in future and sample more of their menu, in fact when the staff were huddled around a near by table eating freshly made meatballs like they'd never seen them before, I took note that they MUST be that good!
Thanks Pastaggio and Staff!
Eatcrest OUT!
