Lot 1 Pasta Bar - Saanich, British Columbia

We went here not knowing that there is a late night menu which starts at 8:30pm which is comparatively cheaper than the normal menu and comes in smaller food portions We ordered from late night menu: Moroccan chicken spaghetti (I substituted) This was flavourful but the portion was very small and it had ... cashews and nuts in it 7.5/10 Pesto rigatoni - cheesy creamy and delicious 8/10 Garlic breadsticks were really good and the marinara sauce it came with was super-good Drinks : Lavender fizz - tasted like lavender candle 4/10 Peach ( I forgot the name) - really good 8/10 Overall the food was good and ambience is brilliant. They have a bar so you will get really good cocktails and mocktails Read more

This restaurant is definitely on the high-end in price and atmosphere, but a great place for dates, anniversaries and semi-formal get-together nonetheless. I love the pastas they have here, and how you can customize the noodles and sauces to your preference free of charge. Their happy hour menu also has a ... good selection of foods and drinks to choose from. I loved the Raspberry lychee limonata! The staff here was very engaged and attentive to our orders. You also get free cheese cubes as an appetizer too, on the house before your meals arrive. It's never busy when we visit during the early afternoon for happy hour. I recommend this place if you're looking for excellent quality pasta meals at a luxury decorated restaurant. Lot 1 Pasta bar fits the bill! Read more

Lo1 Pasta Bar is a pasta lover's delight: wonderful ambiance, sumptuous food, unique and cheerful staff. Portions are generous. Love the place. 100% recommended.

Food was very good. Disappointed that the TVs that were above the bar were removed. I asked about this (both to the server and via e-mail) but never received an answer as to why. On 2 separate occasions, after ordering a dish, the same server came back and said they were ... out of it. Shouldn't they have known this information in advance and presented it to the customers when they take orders so that the customers don't have to waste time thinking about what to order again? On 2 separate occasions, we had an issue with the same server. On one, when my son spilled his water (and it made a loud enough noise such that the server could obviously hear it), she never came over to wipe it up. I had to get up, go over to her, and ask her to do so. She then came by and quickly wiped everything once, but the table was still wet. On the other occasion, after we paid the bill (and tipped), she gave me the receipt without saying a single word and then just walked off. No "thank you", "hope to see you again soon" or anything. Like what kind of server does that? It felt awkward and shocking. As we were walking out, a man whom I presumed to be the manager said "Thank you folks for coming in." This was nice (and what I originally expected from the server.) Read more

Great pasta, fast service, modern decor, decent price. I had the braised beef campenelle, they ran out of campenelle and was substituted with radiatori, which worked just as well with the sauce. Beef was tender and flavourful, each mouthful was filled with sauce, beef and pasta. They also gave the fried polenta ... as appy and I would order them myself. They were nice and crispy, perfect little bit size with just a bit of the tomato sauce. Will definitely recommend for lunch or a quick bite. Read more
