I was excited about the prospect of PastaBAR - hipster Italian dining in downtown PHX. Unfortunately, I forgot that too often hipster is synonymous with pretentious.
I thought I liked the ambiance of the place, until I found out that supposedly the paintings on the wall are of serial killers. If that's true, its laughably stupid. The service was OK, not overly helpful as we already to look up several things on the menu since it made no sense to us non-foodies. And I understand that we get overserved in America and portions should normally be smaller, but for what we got versus what it cost, I felt slighted. And it wasn't that tasty either.
So Meh PastaBAR. You have promise, but you're executed with an attitude that apparently just isn't for me. Maybe I'll try again if you decide to serve some of those evil carbs in the form of actual bread.
