This is good find. It's a bit dark on the inside. My chair was broken and the tables wobble a little. The service was good. Very friendly staff. Overall the food was really fresh and good. I think this is a solid find where you can't go wrong. read more

I don't get this place. It's take-out only and you place an order and they tell you to come back in about 10 mins and you get a little takeout container dish with some pasta that's sometimes undercooked or maybe reheated but never above "warm". The bolognese is tasty, but it's not like they're serving you a meal with a side dish, it's just a little sampler. Maybe for about $5-8 for reheated cafeteria pasta. But this spot is conveniently located for me so I keep giving them more chances. They sometimes include a jello cup as a dessert but I'd much rather have just the pasta and pay $2-3 less. Now, if they doubled the serving size.... And if I was confident this was just cooked and not reheated. Maybe they just prepare large batches earlier in the day and they scoop from that? For the price, a salad and traditional thick slice of garlic bread wouldn't be asking too much. I would be OK with the $15 or so price tag. This place has the misfortune of being next door to Canada's Most Disastrous Tim Horton's, so you may be stepping over people slumped outside or see people literally smoking g glass pipes in their window when you step outside for that 10 minute intermissing while Via Pasta prepares your order.... So their front door is often locked even when they're sitting right there open. That's not a reflection of Via Pasta at all. Don't let anyone out front "borrow" your phone and don't feel bad for saying no. read more

It's a nice concept...freshly made pasta in a casual takeout setting for a reasonable price. Choose your pasta and sauce and add toppings for an additional price. We shared a large fusilli chicken alfredo and it was satisfying. Positives: huge portions, pasta was cooked al dente and they were generous with the parmesan on top. Better quality than fast food. Negatives: it took longer than I expected to get our pasta after ordering and we were the only customers. Their pasta, sauces and toppings are already cooked so I'm not sure why it took almost 20 minutes. read more

This is a great little find in Chinatown. This rating is based on take out pasta and not some fancy sit down restaurant. I ordered the gamberetti, which is a tomato cream sauce based pasta with mussels, shrimp and zucchini. They ran out of shrimp that day so I got extra mushrooms instead. It was freshly made and fettuccine was perfect al dente. The sauce and toppings were excellent. I have enough for lunch and dinner since the portions are huge. read more

I was on Yelp's guest list to try pasta at this new pasta shop in Chinatown. It was a great experience. First of all, I took a skytrain instead of driving there. I was lazy to find parking and I should just exercise by walking more especially I was going to eat some carb food. When I got here, some customers were waiting for their order. The shop got some online orders as well. I am guessing the server who served me was the owner? Anyway, he was very friendly. He took orders online and offline as well as cooking at the back! He was very busy taking care of the orders and walk-in customers. I ordered bolognese rigatoni and looked forward to trying and eating it!! I waited for a while though. Finally the food came out. It smelt great and looked great. The box was full of pasta and sauce. It was quite heavy. I found a place and sat down to eat. The texture of rigatoni was about right. It was not too soft or soaky or not too firm. The meat sauce was coated each piece of the rigatoni. It was great!! There was some cheese on top that it added a bit of flavour to the meat sauce. I had a great time eating the pasta. I shared the pasta with my husband as the portion could be for two people! Would I recommend this pasta shop to others? Yes! I would read more

Was very excited to try this 3-month old pasta place in the heart of Chinatown c/o Yelp and they did not disappoint. There were 2 men on a Sunday night and both were friendly. This place does not offer dine in options. They ran out of Gamberetti sauce so I tried Chicken Alfredo and Salmon Cream both on Fettuccine. As it's only take out, my husband drove to a park where we enjoyed the pasta. Texture of homemade pasta was just right and sauces were very yummy. I especially liked the Chicken Alfredo. Portions were generous too. The business concept targets people on the run. It's an easy and simple meal to bring to work or bring home after a long day at work. Decent meals in minutes - sauces are ready and pasta are prepped with prices in the $12 to $16 range. Make no mistake, it is a far cry from fast food outlets that offer low quality food. Neither is it gourmet with the likes of EVOO, fresh parsley garnishes, lemon wedges or shaven Parmesan. This is as good as it gets. Will I recommend? Definitely yes. read more

Was excited to try Via Pasta through the Yelp Elite event. I went around 7pm on Sunday evening and unfortunately, they said they were out of the Gamberetti sauce so I choose the rigatoni with creamy rose sauce. In addition, I ordered the spaghetti Bolognese and paid for that to go as well. You can see the large containers of fresh pasta made fresh in-store - none of the dried pasta stuff. Via Pasta is a to-go store with no in-store seating and the prices range from $11.95 to $15.95, which is really reasonable as the portions are huge and heavy. My two pasta orders didn't take long and they smelled heavenly. The spaghetti bolognese tasted hearty and rich, really hit the spot though I added extra cheese and chili flakes at home. The rigatoni creamy rose was also excellent and wasn't too heavy. Both pastas were cooked well though I wish it was slightly more al dente and the rigatoni with some more veggies but was still great. Quick, tasty, fresh, and affordable - a great find that opens until late. Wish there was a location in my neighbourhood as I would frequent often if it was nearby my home. Definitely recommend checking out if you're craving a delicious and quick take out meal! read more

If you're having a pasta craving and like cheesy pasta this is your place! Quick and easy stop for filling meals on the go. This restaurant just off Main in Chinatown serves up hearty portions of to-go fresh pasta and your choice of sauce. I chose Pesto Rigatoni, I'm not a huge cheese fan and didn't realize the pesto was going to be super cheesy but the few bites I had were tasty and my family enjoyed the rest. I also paid for a tiramisu which was enjoyable, personally I prefer a higher soaked cookie ratio but again my family loved the high ratio of mascarpone. I was invited here through a Yelp Elite event and was impressed with their hearty servings and friendly service. read more

Were introduced to Via Pasta through an Elite event and loved it! This is takeout only with no seating. A small place with an area to order and wait for it to be ready. You can also see your order being prepared. You can select the pasta type, sauce and toppings and the portions are decent. Got the garlic bread and creamy rosa the first time. The pasta was yummy. Bread was ok. The second time we got creamy rosa and pomodoro. And they definitely messed up the rosa. We couldn't tell which which was which had it not been for the pasta shell. The creamy rosa had more tomatoes than the pomodoro and hardly any white sauce. The color was also more red than pink. Seems like they aren't consistent, will give some time before trying out again. read more

An amazing little gem for Italian in chinatown. Relatively quick considering it only took 7 minutes (yes I timed it) from ordering to serving. Despite the quick cook times, the serving was comparable of what you'd expect from a restaurant. The menu let's you pick and choose your pasta and sauce as well as additions like extra meat. The pasta itself was al dente. The sauce bursting with tomato flavour. I would have preferred some slighter bigger pieces of eggplant but that's my taste. I'd you like cheese though,this place got you covered. The sauce had the perfect amount of cheese incorporated into it making extremely creamy. In conclusion, give this little place a try. You won't regret it. read more

It was decent! I got the shell pasta with Gambretti sauce. Next time I'll definitely add olives and mushrooms to give it a bit more veggies. Good for a while in the wall quick bite. read more

Via pasta is a new comfort pasta place in town. I got the salmon cream pasta and the matriciana. The sauce was premade pretty good. Small kitchen only to go concept. The pasta was made okay too but its just i got uncooked fettucine sadly. The sauce definitely needed more parmigiano and black pepper to get better taste. I hope via pasta can sustain and get better in the future. Cheers! read more

We needed a quick meal last night and needed a change from all the Asian foods we've been trying, so Italian sounded great. Via Pasta let each of us choose the pasta and sauce we each wanted, so it was perfect! We couldn't figure out how to order takeout online, so we walked there and ordered in person, which was fine. The staff was very helpful and professional. We got a variety of pastas and sauces - the most popular in our family was the cheesey sauce. I really enjoyed my gambaretti - nice pieces of shrimp and zucchini. The pasta was all cooked perfectly. Awesome little pasta spot in Vancouver! read more

Small to-go shop with bounds of homemade pasta ready for order. Staff were friendly and efficient, we got our order within 5 mins. We sat by a nearby park and I will say, the pasta tasted much better than it looked. A little salty for my liking but tons of flavour in the sauce and the pasta was the perfect al dente. Large quantities, fast service and pasta ranged between $12-15. Would def check it out again if I were in the area! read more

I got 2 types of pasta from here, and while the quantity was large, the taste and the pasta itself just weren't great. It was watery and bland. I felt like I was just eating a lot of bland flour...not enough toppings or flavour overall. read more

Five stars for friendly staff! Via Pasta is located in Chinatown and offers quick take out pasta for around $12-$16. You get a choice of pasta noodle and sauce and you add also choose to add on toppings for an additional cost. They have beverages and desserts to go as well. The staff is so friendly and nice. It took about 10 minutes or so for our orders (Salmon cream fettuccini and Chicken Alfredo fettuccini). The sauce is light and not very salty (although I prefer more salty). A decent amount of salmon but there could be more chicken in the chicken Alfredo sauce. A neat concept for a quick pasta takeout restaurant. read more

I had a great experience trying via pasta. The location is convenient, right by the #3 bus stop. The inside is friendly and casual with a family vibe. Their menu (takeout only) had a lot of options, but I was feeling pretty basic so I got the shell pasta with cheesy sauce. This was a tasty and comforting treat, the cheese sauce was plentiful and the pasta was cooked just right and not mushy at all (which I was slightly worried about from the to-go format). I do wish the cheese sauce was a little more flavourful, I think it needed a tad more salt and spice. The size was pretty large, it could feed 1 very hungry adult (me), or 2 medium-hungry adults. The prices were reasonable too - it's rare to find a takeout option under $15 nowadays, especially with such a generous portion. read more

Tasty sauces, perfectly cooked pasta, good portion size and price. My new favourite take out!

Was heading to bank next door and saw this pasta place. I was craving for a nice alfredo so went in and ordered the pasta with Alfredo Sauce and chicken. Went back to my car to put a few spoonful's in my mouth I was so hungry and wow....what a disappointment. The sauce had no flavor at all. Almost tasted like a plain white sauce with no spices. Just flour and milk put together and very bland. The chicken had no flavour at all either. Just boiled meat sliced up. I'm sure the other pasta dishes there might be more flavourfull as they have good reviews here on Yelp. I might go in again and try something else as I don't like to give up on my first try at a restaurant. read more

They make good takeout pasta here, good tastes and fresh, I get my pasta there at least once a week .
