This Pasta is Absolutely Addictive—Can’t Stop Eating! 🍝✨

I’ve been dreaming about this amazing pasta spot, DOVETAIL, and finally went with friends… and WOW, it did NOT disappoint! 🎉🔥 Honestly, it’s more memorable than any other pasta I’ve had before. Just these two dishes alone are worth a second visit—no question! 🤤❤️ Let’s Talk Veggies First! 🥗🌿 BABY GEM LETTUCE Not gonna lie, appetizers usually don’t excite me, but this one? A game-changer! 🥬💥 The baby romaine leaves were small but perfectly coated in dressing, crispy breadcrumbs, and shredded cheese. Every single bite was flavorful—no bland leaves here! BRUSSELS SPROUTS I order these at almost every Western restaurant, but DOVETAIL’s version is the BEST yet! 🏆 Each half-sprout was huge, with layers of crispy leaves and that delicious charred edge. The sauce? A brown-black garlic aioli—creamy, tangy, and slightly acidic, balancing the richness of the sprouts. I could devour an entire plate myself! 😍 Now, the REAL Stars—The Pastas! 🍝💫 "CARBONARA" This is their signature dish, and for good reason! 🥓🍳 Instead of a heavy cream sauce, the richness comes from a poached egg mixed into the pasta. The noodles themselves have deep ridges, trapping every bit of sauce for maximum flavor. It’s rich but not overwhelming—unlike traditional carbonara. SPICY VODKA PASTA The perfect pairing with the Carbonara! 🍜🔥 This one uses shell-shaped pasta, holding onto a thick, creamy, slightly spicy vodka sauce. It’s bolder and richer than the Carbonara, with a kick of heat (but not too much). Topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano, it’s pure comfort food heaven! 🧀😋 Drinks & Dessert 🍹🍨 My friend’s drink was a mystery, but I went for the Aperitivo Spritz (alcohol-free). It had this sweet-orange-meets-bitter flavor, almost like grapefruit—super refreshing and addictive! 🍊✨ And of course, we had to try the pistachio gelato—SO GOOD! 🍦💚 Plus, we spotted the cutest, most peacefully sleeping dog—mood goals! 🐶💤 📍 Address: 1079 Mainland Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 1S3 #PastaLover #HandmadePizza #RestaurantRecs #WesternCuisine #HiddenGems #VancouverEats #ItalianFood #BestPasta #VancouverLife #FoodExplorer #MustTryRestaurant #VancouverDining
