Serves meat, vegan options available. historic old town. Pasta with vegetables or tofu substitutes upon request. JAN 2014 REPORTED SHUT DOWN, PHONE NOT WORKING - REMOVED.
I've lived in Fort Collins for over 15 years and I've gotten chicken mixed in with my "vegan" dishes at least six times at Rasta Pasta. They have some limited vegan options--will sub tofu for meat--but I'm extremely wary of eating here due to past experience. I've also been told conflicting things by different staff members regarding ingredients, how something is cooked, whether it is vegan, etc. It remains popular with many locals (which is why I've been dragged back) and has unique pasta dishes, but double-check your plate before digging in if you go.
The big thing at Rasta Pasta is pasta in the 3 colors of the Jamaican flag. If this turns you on, go for sure. They are willing to substitute tofu for jerk chicken, so I guess they are vegetarian friendly. But it's so much better to go to a restaurant that really appreciates the taste of vegetables rather than just taking out the meat. Go a few blocks further and spend a buck or two more and go to Tasty Harmony.
