" I have always loved Jamaican food but I was curious about the fusion here. I tried their pasta with jerk chicken and while the execution was good, I still felt it lacked the authentic jerk kick I expected. The service was decent and definitely a lively setting, but I might stick to the traditional next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations from Rasta Pasta given its reputation. The pasta with jerk chicken was enjoyable although the jerk flavor was a bit subtle; still, I found it delicious. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun, just what was needed after shopping in Kensington Market. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Rasta Pasta was a delight! The staff were welcoming and took their time explaining the menu, which I appreciated. The jerk chicken was flavorful, served piping hot, and perfectly spiced. The little touches, like the house-made hot sauce, made all the difference. Definitely returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just... wow. Every dish I've tasted from Rasta Pasta has been an experience in flavor. The jerk chicken was juicy and seasoned perfectly, while the pasta dishes brought a unique twist to Italian favorites. Perfect for lunch after a morning at the market! I can't wait to return and try more menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was excited to try Rasta Pasta after hearing some great things from friends. The food was decent but not as authentic as I hoped. The service could also use some improvement, as we found ourselves needing to wave down staff. However, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, which I appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)

" The reviews had me excited to try Rasta Pasta, but my experience was mediocre at best. My dish lacked the vibrant flavor I anticipated, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. The ambiance felt cramped which detracted from the experience. I might give it another try, but it wasn’t the home run I was hoping for. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delighted to have discovered Rasta Pasta! The jerk chicken had a perfect char and was so tender while the pasta paired nicely. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, which is a big plus in a busy market! I’ll be coming back for sure for a more extensive menu experience! " (*Curated Review*)
