• 5 Star: Plenty of plant-based options. Go there right now!

I've been traveling around SE Asia with my wife for the past 4 months and now and then we'll mix it up a bit and have some Italian. Our experiences have generally been mediocre at best. So going to La Pasta my expectations weren't aligned with what I experienced. It was phenomenal! My grandparents were born and raised in southern Italy and so I've eaten a lot of Italian. Honestly (and I never thought I'd say this about a restaurant in Cambodia) we had ONE of the best Italian meals I can remember. It's certainly up there. Particularly when considering the value for someone who's from UK (lives in US). The tomatoes/basil on the bruschetta were so tasty and the pasta in "pink sauce" is outstanding — al dente homemade pasta and all. We also try to eat vegan / plant-based (or at least vegetarian when possible) ...we were very happy/pleased to see they had lots of amazing options. It was so good that we more or less reordered the entire meal again. Roberto was a kind and attentive host who noticed the small things (e.g. like when we were missing a spoon after deciding to order the pasta for a second round). We'll definitely be back and will spread the word. If they can keep the standard to what we experienced, this place will be packed each night of the week in weeks/months to come :-) P.S. I think it's kind of silly to disallow any restaurant for receiving a 5 star. I'd definitely give it a 5. It's important to encourage this kind of diet/lifestyle and progressive restaurants like this are moving in the right direction. Not sure this rule really helps evangelize or change anything...
