Pasta Fresca
ALLISON WILLIAMS Special Projects
A one-time hair salon turned pet store
may not seem like the ideal locale for an
Italian restaurant, but Columbia's newest
pasta place calls it home.
Pasta Fresca, on Forest Drive in front
of Kroger and Richland Fashion Mall,
may have an unlikely home, but the food
more than makes up for its unusual roots.
Good, inexpensive pasta doesn't seem
like that difficult a request, but for the
most part, Columbia restaurants have
managed to dodge both. And if anyone
is an expert on good, cheap pasta, it has
to be a college student.
Pasta Fresca is definitely a find. Prices
are cheap ? pasta costs as little as $4.95
? but if you have the cash, give up the
soft drink or tea and go for the slightly
more expensive fare. The pasta with
marinara sauce and artichoke hearts
was definitely my favorite. At about $7,

On recent trips, I tried pasta with a
garlic-based sauce and one of the specials,
pasta with a wine sauce, but I prefer the
marinara However, I would recommend
trying one of the specials. They are about
the same price as some of the more
expensive entrees, but unlike the entrees,
the specials come with salad. Salads are
not served with regular items on the
menu ? a pet peeve for me.
One negative point: Pasta Fresca's
lunch and dinner menus are the same.
There are no bargains for lunch,
unfortunately.
Also, be aware Pasta Fresca is not
made for large groups. On my most recent
trip, I went with four people. It was a

The atmosphere is very casual. Seating
works on a seat-yourself basis, and food
is ordered at the counter. This leaves
first-time customers a little confused
and patrons unsure how to tip.
Although food is ordered at the counter,
it is brought to your table when it is
ready. Drinks are also refilled without
making a trip to the front. ,
The priority at Pasta Fresca is the i
food, not necessarily the atmosphere and
service. But for college students adept
at eating at their desks, from plates on
laps or sitting on the floor, and whose
only requests are for decent plates of i
pasta, Pasta Fresca fits the bill.
Pasta Fresca is open for lunch and ;
dinner, serving a variety of salads and
hot and cold pasta. Food is also available ]
for carry-out.
