Love fresh pasta? This new Vancouver restaurant is for you
Pasta fans, take note. There's a new Vancouver eatery that's going big on the assorted slippery strings and shapes of dough. Article content Angela Pastifico, located at 1869 Powell St., is angling to be a hub for fresh pasta in the city. Article content Article content Under the guidance of chef-owner Calvin Vogstad, the eatery brings the chef's obsession to an everyday menu offering. Article content 'I opened this restaurant because I wanted to show off my love for pasta. And also to explore my family's history going back to Italy 100 years ago,' Vogstad says. 'It's something that we've become disconnected with, for a time. And it's been really rewarding for me to go back and revisit that through cooking.' Article content Article content Article content 'My cuisine is based on traditional Italian food, but also incorporating Pacific Northwestern elements and the beautiful things that grow around us to show off both sides,' he says. Article content Vogstad points to the restaurant's pasta tasting menu, which features alongside some snacks and salads such as Scallop Crudo ($21) and Anchovy Toast ($15), as its specialty. Article content 'Really, the showcase is the five or six handmade pastas that you won't see anywhere else,' Vogstad says of the revolving offering. Article content Still in its early days of operation — Angela officially opened in May — there are a few early favourites popping up on the eatery's menu. Article content Article content Beet and Ricotta Casunsiei ($33), a stuffed ravioli filed with roasted beets, ricotta and Parmesan cheeses, is one such dish. Article content Article content 'It's a very traditional pasta from Trentino, which is in the north of Italy,' Vogstad explains. 'It's served in a brown butter that we make to order flavoured with poppyseed.'
