  • I don't quite get PastaBAR. This place is 1000% right in my wheelhouse. Passionate about one thing. Focus on getting that completely right. Focus on quality ingredients. I'd heard positive recommendations by many friends and colleagues I respect. I was expecting to love it. How could I not? I don't know. Maybe my expectations were way out of whack. They had been knocked down a bit that same night by 3 or 4 friends that had been there. I was in the area and itching to go even though I'd heard multiple comments that it was kind of meh. Well, we ended up going later in the night. First of all, I get the space. It's cool. Has character. No problems there. Service was great as well. No issues at all. No problem with the pricing or portions. In fact I thought it was quite reasonable. I first tried the buffalo mozzarella, basil pesto, heirloom tomatoes. It was nice. I dug it. Would have happily eaten more. No fireworks though. And maybe I'm unfair for expecting them. Then I tried the two entrees I most wanted. Both had gotten rave reviews in a recent article. I ordered the chitarra alla carbonara (guanciale/bacon, farm egg, local onion, pecorino) and I tried the orecchiette con salsiccia (home-made sausage, greens, pecorino). Now over the past couple of years I've really developed an appreciation for people doing simple or standard things really, really well. That was what I was expecting here. The food was definitely good but with all the pub that it's gotten, it definitely didn't knock me off my chair. And the thing is that I've recently been repeatedly knocked off my chair by other spots doing standard, simple homemade pastas with killer, killer ingredients. Have been hit totally out of left field and couldn't believe how amazing a pappardelle with homemade sausage was. Or a linguine with clams. I'm guessing that maybe my expectations were out of whack but I left appreciating the meal but saddened that I felt no hurry to rush back.
