Presto Pastaworks - Halifax

So fresh, grilled sandwich perfection, friendly service. If you are looking for fresh pasta or sandwiches and salad then this is the place to go. One look at the display case and the menu and you'll be sold. Great for quick to go meals for entertaining, or for a bite while at the mall. My fave is the Tomato & Mozza Panini, with Tabbouleh. Best I've ever had.

Located in sunnyside mall next to Pete's frootique. Mostly pasta dishes plus a few sandwich style foods. Not bad but don't go to far out of your way for it.

I'm not sure if I have even eaten anything I didn't like. Owned by the same owners for a number of years. Staff is always friendly and will to suggest. Enjoying the new sandwiches recently (the last year or so) to the menu.

For years I've gone to this spot for a reliable quick lunch every time I shopped at nearby Pete's Frootique. But something's changed: this time our food was well below par (the balsamic dressing for the miniscule salad was gloopy, oily and congealed, my Reuben panini was tasteless, burned on the edges and soggy inside, and my husband's chicken skewer was overcooked and dry), and the staff were not their usual perky, efficient selves. Has there been a change of management? I'm hoping this was just a bad day and not a sign of things from now on. I used to really enjoy this place.

Mass produced pasta but tasted ok. Not what I would want for a meal but a snack is OK.
