PastaBar is perfect for foodies out there such as myself. The parking can be an issue as it usually is when you are in downtown Phoenix which can probably be the only bad thing they have going for them. Pasta made fresh in house daily makes a world of a difference when it comes to great Italian food. The menu is small but covers a variety of flavors whilst including many local ingredients. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and gave honest recommendations. Even though we ate during the week closer to their closing time there was no rush to our whole experience and we were able to really taste each item and fully enjoy the meal. I suppose one other downside was that each table is set with prepackaged grissini breadsticks which could be really tasty if they were able to be made fresh just like their signature pasta. Food should not only be a necessity but treated as an adventure of the palate to tickle your tastebuds and create a lust to discover new and exciting flavors. We found some of those flavors here and will definitely be back to discover more of the menu.
