Reviews for Anton's Pasta Bar in Burnaby, BC

Huge portion and delicious food for hungry people. You can hardly finish the whole plate of pasta, everyone pack and leave with... a lunch box. way too many choices and just let the waitress/waiter know what you prefer and they will recommend you the rightchoice. Read more

I'm conflicted about how to "rate" this restaurant. It's not a great restaurant in terms of delicious fine cuisine. In fact,... the meal was somewhat bland, with perfectly acceptable pasta covered in sauce that would not even meet the bar of canned sauce. I would rate the taste of the food as two or three stars. The decor in the restaurant is best described as eclectic and busy. There's lots to keep the eye busy here. It's clean and organized, as is needed in a busy place. There are signs of normal wearin this place. I would give this environment a three star rating. The service was excellent. The waitress was friendly andattentive without becoming too familiar. There was a local family vibe here that suits the restaurant. The food arrivedquickly and I have nothing to complain about, perfectly adapted service to the venue. I would give our waitress five stars. Thefood portions are huge, as everyone else has already said. Yes, it's good value when calculated by price per pound of pasta. However, it's excessive and unhealthy from any perspective. It's not just enough for another meal when reheated. It's actuallymore like three or four healthy large portions. I completely respect that this is a signature element of this establishment;but that is not, in and of itself, a reason to award a higher rating. At some point, the large portion size becomes a negativeand that's the case here. I would suggest they concentrate on a better flavor and reduce portions by 25% to 33%. In thisregard, the portion size is not honestly a five star rating and I would say it is three stars for being excessive and negativelyimpacting the flavor of the food. So where do I land on an overall rating? Ultimately, I will say four stars. Those who eathere want lots of pasta and accept the impact this has on flavor. This is not fine cuisine; but they are good at putting amountain of pasta on a plate and some want that. I likely won't eat here again, as I want something Read more

We visited Anton?s pasta bar and were amazed at quality of food. We had the pesto and beef lasagna. This is easily one of, if... not the best pasta we?ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Delicious high quality plates! Read more

Great food, big portions even for the small plates. There is another option for 2.75 to get a huge plate which easily serves two... people. The best dish we had was penne antonio with extra tomato sauce. Baked rigatoni was great, it?s in the dinner menu. Theservice is so fast, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Minimum charge per person is 18, I would suggest you get asalad, one meal and a dessert because the portions are huge. It is a little busy, but definitely worth trying and waiting in theline. Definitely recommended. Read more

The service is good. Pasta is good but certainly not gourmet, the portion is HUGE that you can certainly get another meal or two... with the left over. The bread in the sandwich is over toasted that I feel like I?m eating cracker with sandwich fillings. Read more
