Pasta Castello

I’m going to have to agree with Michelle on this one. I ordered spicy meatballs with basil. I have to admit, I’m spoiled because I make some mean meatballs at home. The food was decent and a bit over priced. The desert was great. The service and customer service was excellent. I would eat here again considering everything overall.

This is my local Italian. I… they…it’s… Ok I’ll just say it how it is. It is a very overpriced eatery with substandard inconsistent food. I said it. I stand out from most of the peeps in donabate so if they read this they might spit in my food. Please don’t. Sometimes because of the lack of options I have no choice but to eat here…
Pizza is a pretty under average choice. The crust is always too doughy although they do pile on the cheese and garlic…
Out of the pasta choices I’ve ordered:
The lasagna– it’s a pretty good choice. It’s just good. I can’t really even go into detail as it’s just a standard lasagna
Spaghetti amatriciana– bacon, onion, chili and tomato sauce. It is just spaghetti marinara with chili flakes and bacon. It’s um… Decent
Spaghetti marinara-​mixed seafood and tomato sauce. The mussels are always good in this but the prawns and smoked salmon are eck.
Tagliatelle Alfredo-​fresh cream sauce, mushrooms, parm, egg and white wine. It’s very very rich. My fave pasta option but is fatty… And no one likes a fatty paddy! (Hahaha)
I’ve ordered the chicken stuffed with goats cheese and bacon once and I couldn’t eat more than 2 bites as it was pretty awful.
So if you are looking for options to eat in Donabate… I wouldn’t recommend pasta castellos… Unless you just want dessert. Their dessert is awesome. Bannoffee, chocolate biscuit cake, death by chocolate… Of them yum. Yeah just come here to dessert.
