Craving Pasta? Restaurants Across Canada Offering It To Go
Pasta may not be the first thing you think of when you think takeout, but this crave-able comfort food deserves a prominent spot on your to-go roster.
Like pizza, pasta is another delectable dish hailing from Italy. Translating literally to “dough” in Italian, pasta might be one of the most versatile dishes around, coming in all shapes and sizes with a wide variety of sauce options to complete the dish.
October 17th is National Pasta Day, so to celebrate, here is a list of restaurants across Canada offering pasta to go:
