The pasta factory is a refreshingly unique business - no franchised carbon copy store, just a family company! They supply fresh/frozen pasta meals, pasta sauces etc.

The service is very friendly, when you go in they give you a loyalty card (buy x meals, get 1 free) and they're happy to help you out checking ingredients, for example, if you can't eat onion.

The pasta itself was good - I'd been hoping for a fresh-out-of-italian-kitchen type pasta but my expectations were too high, I don't think its possible to get that outside an actual italian (home) kitchen! The pasta is fresh, you can identify the ingredients, and tastes good. Good meal sizes and there's instructions on how to reheat on the container.

Definitely give them a try and support VIBRANT LOCAL business instead of vanilla corporate!

Approximate cost: $10.00
