Best Posts in Thread: Pasta King

we gave up on pasta king long ago, too many other decent options now.

 

Was introduced to Pesto during a visit to Assisi in Tuscany...it was the first time...I stayed several hours in any Restaurant. This pesto is available at Robinson’s and Hypermart. Italian pasta available at HM and SL. Italian wine, across the street from Bo’s coffee on the Blvd.

I have been to many countries during my military career...my 3 year assignment in Naples...is the most memorable.

 

Had exactly the same experience.

Excellent food, lousy service. Long waiting time to place your order,to get your food, drinks and change.

Not really understandable cause the place is not that big, so waiters should be able to do a better job.

It's quite a petty. Food is really not bad. But overall dining experience can be improved.

Anyway, if I want to have a decent Italian meal, I would go again.

 

In my first weeks in the Philippines I had the same - til I started to order first "the starters", than the main meal and at lest the dessert!
Never again had problems with the "Philippines schedule", what means "No schedule"!

 

I'll take Marco's Lasagna over Pasta King any day

 

I was a more than frequent visitor of that place after opening in 2011. I do remember you even have to make reservations to be sure of a table @ your desired time of diner. After the Italian guy, Andreio, left and it was taken over by Peter from Munich, I did still like the place and its food. However after Peter went away, I noticed step by step a detoriatuion of everything. One time I did not give any tip, tip is not an automatically geste, but something to show you were content as a customer. The waitress dare to ask why I did not give any tip, like most foreigners do. I told her for you to find out the reason I did not. Any way to make a long story short. I hardly do visit the place any more. Sometimes as an escape when no parking places left on the boulevard @Why Not or Sans Rival, I just go there while my choice is limited to the salad and tomato soup I still can appreciate most of the time.

 

Personally, I like Pasta King and go there frequently. I do notice lately a change in some of the dishes, I don't know if it's a new chef or what? Particularly spaghetti con polpette used to be an absolute favorite ... I don't know if it was sun dried tomatoes or truffle oil or what it was they used in the recipe, but that sauce was one of the best I ever had. But, now it is still very good, but sadly just not quite the same as it used to be. I do also like the lasagna and carbonara. Most dishes are available in small/large size order, I always get the small size and it is generously more than enough to leave me very filled.
