Anton’s Pasta Bar

March 17, 2011 6:00 am / 8 Comments / 604munchies

Time to get your game face on!  Marv ‘n I decided to join the crowd and line up for a seat at Anton’s Pasta.  Yes, the dreaded lineup, we even showed up before 5pm and the line was stretched past 2 neighbouring stores!   Yikes, good thing we dressed warm enough.  I can’t imagine how cold it’d get standing there in a negative temp windchill!

Anton’s Pasta Bar
4260 Hastings St, Burnaby BC
Tel#:  (604) 299-1610

After a good hourish wait, we were finally chosen to head on in to our table.

The bread we received was your normal run of the mill bun.  It wasn’t even warmed up or anything, I could’ve done without with the bread.  On the right is the Hot Almond Mocha. This was not too sweet and quite strong.  I enjoyed this drink.

Ahh, here’s the real food!  This is where it counts.   Game faces on??  Marv ‘n I are about to face off on who can eat the most tonight!!

Marv decided to go with the Conchiglie Frutti di Mare – mixed seafood and mushrooms in a cream sauce.  I thought he had made a crucial mistake ordering a cream sauce based pasta.   It was very hearty and rich, and I was thinking this would fill him up quickly and allow me to lead off into victory!

My choice of battle dish was the Penne All’Arrabbiata – italian bacon in a spicy tomato sauce.   I figured this would be the best choice considering it would be more light to eat.   When our plates arrived, mine was a lot bigger than Marvs!    Alright, are we ready to commence this chow down?!?! =)

Haha, alright, Marv ended up beating me and finished off his entire plate of pasta!   Look at him gloating!  There’s no need to point :p  ahha!  And yes, Marv was awarded with a pen from Anton’s which he so graciously paraded in front of me lol! =)

I on the other hand, did not even make a dent in my plate and had to do my walk of shame carrying my takeout container out the door.   I admit defeat!! I guess it wasn’t too bad, there was enough leftover for the next 3 meals at the very least!

      Haha, agreed! Marvs choice was actually quite good =) I think next time I’ll have to go with a cream sauce instead of the tomato! =)

    I’ve only been to Anton’s 3 times, and that was over 10 years ago, I was able to finish my plate twice. I’ve never been a fan of Anton’s aside from that it’s just quantity over quality.

      Agreed, the only reason we went was cause I had purchased one of those deals from a coupon site for this place lol! Otherwise Marv would’ve preferred cooking at home =)
