Pasta Cup

I love pasta cup but this store is a shocker. They get one stars for at least getting the pasta to sauce ratio correct as other pasta cups are more like a soup! The staff are ok but I found the manager unnecessarily rude when she served me once because I wanted to swap out the meat as I was vegetarian. Not that this matters as several times its been made with meat anyways. The staff are unenthusiastic and bored most of the time but my biggest issue is when the eftpos machine wasn’t working and they gave me a choice between the ATM machine that charges $ 3 to withdraw or for them to record all of my credit card details into a note book for them to put through the payment later. Privacy act breach anyone?! Seriously they where taking CCV codes and EVERYTHING! Beware. Ps. The membership cards don’t earn points
Don’t waste your time.

«You don’t like Pasta Cup?! Burn the witch!»
I’ve heard it all before and I’ll hear it all again. So come at me, bros.
Truthfully? Pasta cup is great after the first bite or two. Afterwards it feels like you’re swallowing straight lard. It makes me nauseous. I can actually hear my arteries cussing me out.
I’ve never felt so sick after eating half of a small serving. Too rich, too fatty, too I can’t button my pants because I’m a tubby tubster. No thanks. I have enough problems buttoning things as it is.
Great concept but the execution is just a no-​go.

I was pessimistic. I mean good pasta as a takeaway? Never, not possible. So here I am humbly eating my words. This pasta is more than good, it is fantastic. They make the pasta fresh in store everyday. You can taste the difference to the dried stuff you make at home. If you are there at the right time of day you can watch. They have a variety of different pastas to choose. Then you get to choose your sauce. I had the milan with penne pasta. The milan sauce was creamy with subtle hints of bacon and mushroom.
The takeaway pasta cups in a big cup with two pieces of crusty bread and a little container of parmesan cheese There are 5 different sizes of takeaway. I had the regular for $ 12.95, which was big enough to fill me up. Before I tasted the food I thought that $ 12.95 was a bit of the pricey side, but now I think that is great for restaurant quality food.

Fast food pasta. Don’t be put off, it is the bomb.
I love pasta, I would be happy to eat it everyday and I could definitely eat Pasta Cup everyday. Unfortunately, they don’t have it in Adelaide.
I enjoyed the fact that the sauces were a bit different from normal, it wasn’t just your regular Bolognese, Napolitana, etc. I got a variation of Arabiata and it had so much chilli! I actually had to eat at a normal speed for once because it was so hot. I got a regular size too and it was massive, however, if you are starving there is a large and one even bigger!
The containers the pasta came in were cool. It was a round heatproof container with another compartment on top with bread and cheese. Not many places these days still give you free bread. We also purchased garlic bread, which was delicious. It was good because it had garlic butter on both sides– so much garlic.
The prices were very reasonable for how good the pasta was. I got the deal where you paid an extra $ 5 and got a can of drink and a piece of garlic bread. This took me to a total of around $ 17, about how much you would pay for a bowl of pasta at a restaurant.
