3 reviews for The Pasta Bowl Truck
Streeterville workers, I have the inside scoop on a great CHEAP meal!
We all know and love The Pasta Bowl. Did you know they have a truck (aka roach coach) downtown parked at 340 E. Superior?
I know what you're thinking - "ew, roach coach! I don't eat food off of a truck!" I know, I know. I thought the same thing. But everyone in my office wouldn't shut up about it and today when a coworker came back with some delicious smelling food I couldn't resist checking it out.
For the insanely low price of $4.50, you get an entree (choice of a pasta dish or salad), bread, and a drink. All for $4.50! And the portions are huge!
Did I mention it's only $4.50?! (and that includes tax)
For coming off of a truck, it was surprisingly really good and fresh. I was shocked!
Tip - go there early if you can, like before noon. Not only will you not have to stand in line (it's very popular), but you'll get a better selection.
Oh, my heavens, this little business serves up some very good grub, but pick your pasta carefully. Some of the sauces are rather creamy and when combined with hearty pasta and cheese, a postprandial food-induced stupor is a very real possibility.
Do not bother with the caesar salad. I tried it once, and it was a disaster compared with the pastas. Brown-tinged romaine lettuce leaves? Not for me, man.
i have to say that the salad is pretty good.. chicken caesar. i am a little upset that they raised the price from 4 to 4.50 over the course of one academic school year though....
and the pasta can get super greasy also. i have to use a napkin to soak up all the nastiness and it becomes hard to eat the leftovers after having to do that sometimes
