World Pasta Day: October 25th

Warm steaming spaghetti in a rich red sauce or fettuccine in creamy Alfredo sauce; there’s nothing quite like a warm dish of pasta. October 25 celebrates World Pasta Day! Head to these seven San Diego restaurants and celebrate World Pasta Day:  For a warm bowl of spaghetti just like the one your mom would make, make your way to Brian’s 24 in the Gaslamp Quarter. This Spaghetti is created with rich and savory house-made marinara sauce, served with garlic bread and your choice of soup or salad. Down in Bonita, Romesco offers a wide range of pasta dishes on the menu. It is hard to choose one but the must-have on the menu is the linguini. The Linguini Pescatore is loaded mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari in marinara sauce topped with basil and extra virgin olive oil. Bellamy’s fall menu boasts the Baja Shrimp Garlic Pasta crafted with pancetta and peas in a delicious garlic cream sauce.  Union Kitchen & Tap Gaslamp and Encinitas have a wild twist to your World Pasta Day! Head to either location on the 25th and try the Wild Mushroom Ravioli. Raviolis filled with wild mushrooms in a roasted tomato cream sauce with Boursin, shaved grana Padano and sweet basil. Aside from bringing a slice of the Big Apple’s pizza to San Diego, The New Yorker has also brought pasta! Get your choice of fettuccine or penne pasta in a creamy Alfredo or saucy vodka sauce, served with a side salad and warm garlic knots. Make this meal even more hearty by adding shrimp or chicken. Backyard Kitchen & Tap in Pacific Beach features Shrimp Linguine tossed with vibrant yellow squash, spinach, ricotta stuffed squash blossoms in pesto and topped with parmesan cheese. World Pasta Day may be on a Tuesday this year but head to Uptown Tavern in Hillcrest on Monday to get the celebration started a little early. Stop by for Pasta De Jour Mondays for the chef’s pasta creation of the day all for $10.00!
