So we headed to Originals in Port Moody Moody, as I’ve heard it’s very good.
But it was closed. Posted hours indicated it was open but definitely no one was there.
All right, what else is around here?
Pasta Polo isn’t too far, and it’s been a little bit since we’ve been there. Good enough.
Have you ever been served at a restaurant by someone who is just a little bit too good at their job.
Annoying almost?
I’ve had some incredible service at restaurants. Hell’s Kitchen being a prime example. The service there was perfect. They knew when to be there and when not to be there. How much to say and how much not to say. It really was something to behold.
Our server today did provide very good service. But they just encroached a bit too much and overspoke a little too often.
And funnily enough I had this server the last time I was here also.
But all that aside we were here for the food.
Prawn Penne Carbonara.
I have always enjoyed this carbonara here. It’s not a real carbonara. It’s a cross between a carbonara and an alfredo I think. But it’s still excellent. Fresh in house pasta always makes a difference.
The whole dish was cooked well. I think it’s just bacon, not pancetta or guanciali, but it works well. The pasta is creamy and very flavourful. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not robbery at all.
I decided to have the Baked Cannelloni.
Which was a very good choice.
Veal, herbs and cheese stuffed pasta in a wonderful marinara that’s maybe as good as mine. Maybe.
Often in tube pasta dishes the filling can be very dry but Pasta Polo’s version is not. And just look at all that gooey, crispy mozzarella cheese on top.
Finished off with some fresh cracked pepper and a big helping of grated parm and you have a really nice meal here.
As usual Pasta Polo did not disappoint.
