Queen's Pasta Cafe

Yesterday we took some friends out to Queen's Pasta Cafe for a birthday lunch. Mmmmm.

The food was excellent, and the desserts were just naughty. I had rigatoni with sausage, in a tomato cream sauce. I'm not usually a fan of blue cheese, but the gorgonzola in the sauce gave it a nice bite. For dessert I had a piece of blueberry-white chocolate cheesecake.

We were a group of six, and the service was prompt and friendly. Everyone enjoyed their meal and dessert, which I find rare in a group.

Prices are reasonable, given the quality, at about $12-15 for entrees. They also offer half-portions, although the consensus was that the full-portions were generous, while those ordering half-portions were left wanting more.

After filling up on dessert, we decided it would be good to go for a walk around nearby High Park. After about an hour of walking I finally felt ready to contemplate eating again (in the abstract).

I've been eating too many frozen dinners and too much take-out over the last few months. This was a welcome treat.
