Pastucci's (College Park)

So good I sometimes order twice in one day! Thank you for making such awesome pasta! So inventive too! Love the ability to mix and match sauces and toppings.

My one issue is that it is kind of pricey for pasta though.

A nice and convenient place to grab some pasta. Wanted to always try pastucci and was so excited when I got the chance. The location is located in 777 Bay st. It is inside a mall which has a variety of other stores like rexall and LCBO making this a very convenient spot.

The pasta comes in three different sizes (pictured below) and each size has a different price. They have different options of either building your own pasta and also some premade pasta options. With either option you can pick the type of pasta you want. We got the medium carbonara pasta with extra olives on the side. In addition, we got the build your own pasta box. We got the fettuccini pasta with Alfredo sauce. In the build your own pasta option, you get 3 choices of vegetable toppings for free. I got the crushed red pepper, jalapeño and olives. You also get to pick from 3 types of cheese to go on the pasta. I got the grated Parmesan cheese and it complemented the pasta really well. Lastly, you can pick a variety of meats to go with the pasta, however, it is at an additional cost. We also got the white chocolate with blueberry cheesecake. It was simply delicious and was a great end to the meal. I thought that both dishes were amazing. We did decide to take it home and by the time we got there it was a little dry.

Overall: if you do plan on going to pastucci regardless of the location make sure to check if they charge for the kind of pasta. It was not mentioned on their menu and the staff at the location didn’t mention it to us either. We ended up paying an extra $3.00 for the fettuccini option. Wasn’t too happy about that as it wasn’t mentioned anywhere. Although it was good, I wouldn’t recommend it as the pasta at the end comes to around $17.00 which is pretty expensive and it might be worth while to go to a restaurant and get better pasta for the same price. I was happy that I gave this place a try, however, I don’t think I will be coming back again. I would suggest people to give this place a try and make their own decision.

A great place to grab dinner when you're not quite sure what to get. They make it super easy with lots of choices. The staff were very helpful and super friendly. There are plenty of options to mix together for something light or hearty. Choose a basic or filled pasta, sauce or mix a couple together, veggies, and cheese. If you want for extra you can also add a protein.

I order here almost every week as the gnocchi is my fav and the sauces are really tasty. Love the option for fresh parsley and basil, rather than dried. The only thing that bothers me if that if I pay an extra 6$ for a large, the container shouldn't be half full. Update to reply. There is already an additional cost to add more sauce if that's someone's choice. Based on the other photos from the other reviewers, some pasta boxes are full without the additional 21 toppings. I don't' think people will want to pay more for added pasta at an additional cost. It's simply an observation that I pointed out based on my honest review. Moreover, regardless of this observation I'll still continue to order from this location as the food is good. Reply to added update. No need for a refund as I want to support local :). Continue the good work guys!!

The pasta exceeded my expectations. My linguine was cooked al dente as they advertise. I thought the small was too small, and ordered the medium. The medium was actually very filling because there is a lot of sauce. I wish they saute the vegetable toppings albeit you can't really taste the rawness of the veggies because the residual heat partially cooks them from what I can tell.
