Pasta 54 Italian Cuisine on BumRes.com







Today I just went to an Italian Cuisine – Homemade style, the Pasta 54 located in the Soi Sangthong in the Soi Thonglor 25.  The set up is a house converted into a restaurant, small and cozy.  Inside the restaurant, there were two rooms.  In the room that I was seated, there were only three tables.  We were the only table in the restaurant, so the food came out fast. 





For the two of us at Pasta 54, my mother and I ordered four dishes.  First one was the Rocket Salad (150 baht).  When I saw this dish, there was nothing but the rocket with the minimum amount of dressing.  I felt like eating the rocket by itself.  Lucky that I liked the vegetable, so I didn’t have problem finishing it.  But, it still failed.  Next up was the Spaghetti garlic bacon (200 baht).  The cook who took the order recommended it; she said that it was a popular one.  Presentation was great but the taste was boring.  Unlike me, my mother liked it.  Perhaps I don’t like dry spaghetti so I didn’t enjoy it very much.  Third one was Pork Lasagna (200 baht).  It was a cube of Lasagna and that was it; tasted yummy but the portion was too small.  Pork was the only option for the Lasagna but I usually liked it with beef.  So, if it was a larger block of beef lasagna – I would have loved it more.  Last one was the Pizza with Salami and Mushroom (300 baht), my most favorite menu in this meal.  Its appearance was simplest possible but the cheese over the crispy thin crust was truly spectacular.  This pizza was much better than any pizzas from all franchise places I have had.   




Total price of this homemade Italian meal was 870 baht without vat or service charge.  Although I still thought that it was overpriced.  Several choices in the menu should be about 20% cheaper, consider that it was a homemade style restaurant.  Pasta 54’s selling point must be their authenticity.  With its location being deep in the Soi, I believe that majority of their customers must be regulars.  There are some other people’s reviews of this Italian joint, you can also get a second or third opinion from there.  Personally, I wouldn’t get to come back here often since I am not a big fan of Pizza.  I usually eat Pizza as snacks when people around me want to eat it.  Pasta 54 is not bad.  You can check it out for yourself.  Please don’t forget to share your experience with me though.
