Went to the Pasta Bar on Sharrow Vale Road (opposite Two Steps) last night as part of my carb loading festival in advance of a race on Sunday (that and I couldn't be bothered to cook as had been in London all day).Wasn't overly busy but the service was very good, the garlic bread starter was a decent size and not one out of a freezer either. Decided on the ragu for the main, again, very well cooked, good size portion and pasta cooked properly too. Worked out at just over £20 a head with starter, main and a bottle of house white between two of us, so pretty good value for money too. Only two small downsides; the wine wasn't properly cold to start with, and there were out of prawns even though they featured heavily on the menu. Other than that, I can't really fault it. Will go again.
+1 - very much the same experience - even down to the white wine not being chilled enough (we asked for more ice to put in the bucket). Enjoyed it though.
RE: White wine & temperature.I often pop a couple of ice cubes in a glass of white wine... (esp if its just house/bar) though people do sometimes look at me like I'm an alien...

The only bugbear I have with the place is the waitress who's really good with kids thinks everyone's a kid and talks very very slowly and deliberately. Think James Pearson but 45 blonde and boobs.
I don't have curries at home, more of a sit down to be waited on treat. Whereas I'll have Chinese takeout but won't go out for chinese.

Really impressed with the food, service a bit slow but super friendly. They've got a special fixed menu on next Sunday for Tamil New Year which I suspect will be superb.I really like this place too. Agreed the service is slow but the food is delicious. It is still the same owners as Dhanistas, they just renamed the place. They did explain why but I can't remember now.Great food!
