YYC Pasta Bar Douglas

Our favourite pasta place in Calgary. They cater to both my vegan and my wife's celiac needs. The carnivores at our table loved the options. We'll keep coming back.

NOT GLUTEN FREE - Celiac Awareness This place has Gluten Free options - Please be aware! I should have known better, and I take full responsibility for my choice on the restaurant choice. I have Celiac Disease and am highly allergic to Gluten. I called YYC Pasta Bar in Douglas Dale and they informed me over the phone that they offer Gluten Free items on their menu, which they do. I enjoyed my meal and ordered there Gluten Free Gnocchin which was outstanding and thought to myself this is too good to be true. The waitress made note of my allergy and confirmed that the pasta would be Gluten Free. After dinner and on the way home I fell very ill, to the point where I couldn't move, the pain was so intense that my husband wanted to take me to the hospital. It takes about 24-49 hours for a Gluten attack to go away. I am only writing this post to warn others who have a Gluten allergy to be careful, so you don't experience the immense pain that I had and still have. Other than my meal not being safe when I was told it was, I sadly won't be back. This was my first time going to this restaurant and it will be my last. I love GF pasta and I was hoping for Gluten Free Gnocchin. Just want to make other people with Celiac Disease aware, and I should have known better to not enter a Gluten filled restaurant. Service was amazing though and the waitress was so lovely.

We had the pleasure of eating here after trying it a few months ago, very rarely do we find that there is consistency and they didn’t disappoint. The pasta was fresh and el dante …felt like I was in a cozy place in venice! The fellow (Ganesh) speaking to us was also very nice and told us about the fresh ingredients that go in the pasta. I had the gluten free gnocchi and my hubby had the creamy pesto ravioli. I’m always nervous eating out but he made sure everything was done absolutely perfectly! Really recommend this place as a nice night out and value for money!
