On Thursday, I was meeting with one of my service providers about my short sales and how to make them more salable. We decided we needed somewhere that was in between both of us and wasn’t McDonalds and that is when Pasta Veloce was presented as an idea and I’m glad it was.
You see, Pasta Veloce is located
right in the middle of a
little strip mall, in a small, little parking lot near a bank and
across the
street from a small, little medical center. Now, when I went in at
lunch time,
I quickly realized that my idea of having a restaurant in a strip mall
was a
weird place was way wrong, there were only a few seats left.
This place is a cross
between a fast food restaurant and a casual restaurant.
As soon as you walk in, you walk up to the counter, pick up a menu and
order
right from the counter. Then they give you a number, you walk to your
seat, and
about 10 minutes later your food arrives. The atmosphere was perfect
for
meeting with my vendor, as it was quiet enough to talk and you didn’t
feel
weird talking business like you would in a McDonalds or a Burger King.
Now, I ordered the
Tortellini Veloce, a three cheese dish and oh, I wanted to
come back for dinner and have even more. I do like my
pasta and cheese and this
dish satisfied both cravings! If you are in Tigard or Beaverton I
suggest you
check it out. It is located just off Scholls Ferry at North Dakota
Street. The
only problem I had was finding a parking place since the bank, the
restaurant
and Starbucks are all busy. But, in my opinion, it was still well worth
it.

Todd: This sounds like a great place... I wish we had one near my home in Fort Worth. And... what a great Localism post this is. Way to go... !
Hi Todd -- great localism "shout out."
From the desk of David Dee,
Todd, sounds like a great spot to meet and eat. We have Olive Garden here and their pasta is delicious.
I'll have to try it. I have an appointment in Beaverton.
I'm hungry! We have a great italian place here in Sonoma also..right in the strip center with our grocery store. Sooooo good.
I have to say I was a little shocked, wasn't sure what to expect when I entered. But, after getting my food, I was very presently surprised. I have to say when I saw the order counter, I first thought great fast food pasta, but it was certainly non Kraft on my plate.
Looks like you have a new place to take clients Todd, when it is time to talk some serious business.
Todd - There is a small Italian restaurant in a strip mall in Sandwich MA, that was introduced to me last summer. The food is fantastic.
Sounds like a great place Todd. I'm still having morning coffee and now I'm already hungry.
Yummy...I know what you mean about being hesitant with the strip mall location, but after enjoying a few nice meals in places like this, I too have to get over that! Yummo
Todd, I love it when pleasantly surprised in a 'good' way, especially when it comes to food! Your post made me hungry!
