The name of the Pastabar, one of the suspiciously numerous Italian places on the short Schoutenstraat, suggests a snack bar serving pasta. It is, however, much more than that even though the restaurant does keep the choices to a bare minimum. Choose a pasta base (tagliatelle, penne or spaghetti) and a type of sauce. Some of these are rather basic, such as ‘basil and garlic’ and nothing else, but you’re invited to sprinkle as many pine nuts and parmesan cheese on your food as you like. The food is relatively expensive, but is compensated by its quality and freshness. The house wines are also well worth a try.
