Pasto

Wandering around the Eastwood area last Sunday with the Callars was a great way to bump into people, as both Vicky & myself saw some friends shopping in the mall.  We found ourselves having dinner at Pasto Italian restaurant along the older Citywalk area, and while Panini started off with her shrimp bisque, the rest of us enjoyed a sumptuous dinner of pizza and pasta.  The pizzas at Pasto (which means "meal" in Italian) are exactly what we like--thin, crispy and tasty!  We had five kinds of pizza--4 cheese, ham & asparagus, meat-lovers, bianca with seafood, and the "everything-on-it" variety, which the kids munched away, disappearing form the table in flash!  We also had 2 kinds of pasta, a cream based penne with sun-dried tomatoes (this I found a bit odd though, as the tomatoes were on the sweet side), and a mean arriabiatta (spicy bacon).  The ambience is cozy, with red as the dominant color scheme.  The kitchen can be viewed through a glass wall, and this certainly makes for interesting conversation with the kids.  Quite reasonable, as we spent around P350 per head.
