VAPIANO

Hello my darlings! So, for those of you who don't know me, you will soon learn that I LOVE Pasta! As a result, most of my food posts may be about pasta - though, I plan on venturing out, we'll see how that goes.

Anyway, on Friday night I hung out with my beautiful sister Tyre and my fabulous friend Ije. We were debating between going to Spice and a restuarant that I hadn't been to before - Vapiano (which we ultimately ended up picking!). Ije had been there before so she gave us the run down. Pretty much, upon entering the restaurant you get a card that serves as your cash when ordering food and drinks; when you leave, you present your card and pay for your meal and whatever else you ended up buying. Then went straight to one of the pasta stations to order.

I chose "PESTO E SPINACI" which is pretty much a light cream sauce, spinach, tomatoes, a hint of pesto, and your choice of pasta. What's great about this restaurant is that, once you order, you can stand and watch them make it in front of you. When we each got our food, we chose our own seating - a table upstairs in a somewhat dimly lit surrounded by other tables and near an area with couches that catered for a bigger crowd.

Unfortunately, I didnt take a picture of my food :( but it tasted and LOOKED absolutely AMAZING!!! It was definitely worth the $12 that I paid for it.

I definitely recommend this spot to anyone who loves pasta (or pizza, or sandwiches) and a chill place to relax and eat. I saw friends celebrating a birthday, families sitting around, as well as couples - so this place, definitely caters for everyone.

For more information check out the website (http://www.vapianointernational.com/vapiano/cms/) and if you're in the NYC area, you can go directly to the spot (113 University Pl. - the only location in New York) and try it out yourself! :)

If you end up going or if you have been already, leave a comment and let us know what you think!
