Edit: I'm going to have to change the review from 5 stars to 1. I hate seeing people only leave a review when they have a bad experience yet say they've had a bunch of good times and have never left a review before. I initially gave this place 5 stars bc the food is great and as to my knowledge that hasn't changed. Pastaman has been closed all winter, I get it. I waited for Spring for them to open back, checking their IG everyday, they didn't open when they initially stated. Now they are open, but you never know when they are going to close. Some days they are randomly closed on Uber. On the days they choose to operate they don't open till 4 (understandable) but yet Uber states they will be open until midnight and they aren't. I just checked the app half an hour ago they were open, I went to do something and BOOM suddenly unavailable. This has happened to me 5-10 times. Be closed if you want to but communicate with your customers or set your hours on Uber etc properly :/
I ordered here off Uber the dishes really late. It was open super late and the pricing is affordable. I ordered two pastas the chef's special (chipotle chicken) and the penne arribiata. Portion sizes are generous. The chipotle was great, the flavours are subtle and the flavour the sun-dried tomatoes brings pairs so well with it. The penne arribiata has a robust tomato flavour that keeps developing as you eat it, I couldn't put it down. I had some left over for lunch today and it was still great. Im in Brampton but unfortunately out of the delivery zone for Skip and the Uber driver took longer than expected to deliver, the time continued to extend, but thats an issue I...
Read moreThe PastaMan is MOST definitely a BUSY man, but if you plan ahead and/or can manage your appetite, he’s certainly worth the wait. Friday night wait time was about an hr, for 4 dishes, so don’t expect to have a meal for 5 ready in 20 minutes. Just a word of caution This man went to culinary school to learn how to cook Italian food, which is well clear in the dishes he creates. His Italian cooking skills, and his South Asian background give him a unique skill in preparing “fusion” food, like the Paneer Penne, or the Tandoori Chicken pasta. Two different worlds merged together, to create the most scrumptious, mouth watering pasta you probably haven’t had in a while. The fusion dishes are 🌶 spicy, but that’s generally the rule of thumb with South Asian cuisine. His traditional Italian pasta dishes are simply divine. The dishes range from Fettuccine Alfredo, to Penne Arrabbiata, to Chicken Marsala. I haven’t tried every meal on his menu, but I have tried 4/5 and can whole heartedly say, you won’t be disappointed. The food is savoury, succulent, and very satisfying. More so, you can make minor adjustments to the ingredients in the dishes. I.e., add more chicken or take out the mushrooms. And the portions are more than generous. Not only is his food AMAZING, but he is also easy to work with, is very customer focused, and humble. Give this place a try and you’ll not be disappointed. Food worth the money you pay, and although inconvenient at times, food worth the wait. Side Note: if you can’t believe handle spice, ask him to turn the notch...
Read moreI was really excited to try out the fusion pastas after reading all the great reviews! So I drove 15 mins to this location and got there at about 6:38pm. The website states that they open at 5pm however when I arrived there and proceeded to place my order the guy running the truck said that I would have to wait 25-30 mins and said the reason was that it was a hot day so he just opened. I understand him and I can get its tough working in a truck on a hot day. However, I also drove 15 mins in my car that has no air conditioning to support a small local business and try out one of the pastas. I was disappointed that now I drove a total of 30 mins and wasted my time because the guy running this spot was not considerate about his customers. He looked like a really nice person and I feel bad for him but at the end of the day its a business and more importantly a commitment. If you say your hours of operation are 5pm-2am please show up on time and not waste other peoples time. To anyone who made it this far, call ahead if you're planning to try this spot out.
To the founder - thanks for getting back to me. Preparation is key in any industry. I understand it takes 2hrs to prepare the shop before opening however, it is your responsibility to be open BY the time you stated you open not AFTER. Hopefully with phase 3 of reopening of business during this pandemic, you'll be able to hire more people to help you out and to cut down...
