I have been going to Pasta Polo for years. The food is amazing and the service is always great.
Prices are fair, portions are large and the Sangria just might be the best thing I have ever drank in my entire life!!!! -

I wouldn't dine here again. It smells delicious walking in there, promising a yummy meal. But the prices don't match the quality whatsoever. I had the Mediterranean which cost $14.95 and it was ww spaghetti, with minimal veggies mixed in olive oil and garlic. I can make the same thing at home for $3. Really not worth going to a restaurant for.

Quiet atmosphere for our dinner with excellent customer service. I had the baked gnocchi with alfredo sauce and my wife had the seafood canoloni. Both meals were very good and served quite quickly. The only thing I was really disappointed
In was the small wine list. We choose the yellow tail cab-shiraz which was the second highest wine on their menu. Luckily it was $5 off tonight (thurs). We had an entertainment coupon which gave us $15 off our meal. I would definitely go back to pasta pollo again. -

I'm a lover of Italian food and this was a great disappointment. Soggy pasta, mushy eggplant parmesan. It appeared the food was microwaved it was so hot and so overcooked. I wouldn't recommend it, if you're looking for authentic italian

Service: 4 stars
Food: 3 - 3.5 stars
Had to head out to Langley and came across this place on Yelp. Combined with the Entertainment coupon in the car, it was a great choice for a cheap dinner!
Service is fast and friendly. It's a family friendly restaurant. Upon arrival, you get foccacia and marinara sauce right away so there's something to nibble on while you go through the menu. Portions are huge here and pastas are around $15 each and pizzas are $13 each.
The food is really only a 3-3.5 star though... I like that everything is fresh, but the pasta is definitely cooked more than al dente and the sauce we had on our spicy sausage dish was quite watery and a touch bland, even with the additional baked cheese extra we added. Gnocchi dish was good.
Honestly, this is far from being a 5 star, but it's inexpensive and will fill you up with fresher ingredients than the local Olive Garden. Solid 3 to 3.5 stars. -

This is my ALL TIME favourite pasta place.
Organic fresh pasta, delicious sauces, and awesome specials keep me coming back for more. Even the kids lick their plates clean.
I first tried it with the Entertainment Book coupon and now we go back every month. Not into pasta then try one of the delish thin crust pizza's.
Oh and check out the bathrooms, the vanities are too cute!Listed in: Where I get my comfort food!

Great lunch for $11- pasta and a rack o ribs! Went in here based on previous reviews. Lunch special: Pasta was al dente, ribs were fall off the bone tender, the sauce was a tomato basil- a bit plain but still good! Funky decor, this aint no chain restaurant! It was actually refreshing to be in a place that wasn't emulating or trying to emulate a Cactus Club. Will be back for more.

Unassuming little Italian place in the back corner of a strip mall.
As mentioned in other reviews, the food is pretty much 3 to 3.5 star. Service is very good.
Daughter and I agreed to share 1 appetizer, 1 salad and 1 entree.
We chose the Meatball Florentine as our shared appetizer. House meatballs in red sauce next to slices of toasted focaccia, with a healthy handful of chopped romaine lettuce in the corner. This was very, very good. I would definitely order the meatballs as part of a main course (or on a pizza!). This easily could be a standout dish if it wasn't so disjointed. We felt we should have had instructions to eat it. If I were judging it as a "Chopped" dish, I would comment that I was confused on how to eat it. The disjointed elements could have been pulled together if the lettuce had been dressed with a lightly acidic vinaigrette.
We selected the Pasta Polo salad. This was mediocre with great potential. It had so many raw elements going on that it seemed somone went into the kitchen, cleared out the refigerator, and then was too tired to cook the ingredients that could have benefited from heat. The tender baby greens were fresh. In addition to the greens, the salad was composed of raw red onions, red and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms and tomato. The peppers would certainly have been better had they been roasted. The red onions were cut large and the amount overwhelmed. Roasted red onions would have been a bit mellower. The mushrooms could have been sliced thin and sauteed until just beginning to crisp (not a fan of raw mushrooms). I would have skipped the hard, chewy strips of sun-dried tomato and instead, lightly roasted fresh tomatoes. Crumbled feta instead of shredded feta. Perhaps finished with some minced pickled peppers. The balsamic-based dressing was very good. We both felt that after a few moments, the flavors just flattened out and in general, the salad finished bland.
For our entree we shared the Baked Chicken Penne. Another dish with potential that fell flat. I would have preferred the chicken diced rather than in strips. It could have used 3x more mushrooms and we never found the tomatoes (fresh or sun-dried) mentioned in the description. Again - this dish started off good and then continued to fall flat.
Service was outstanding. This is just the kind of place neighborhood folks could saunter too on a regular basis. Get to the know the staff as regulars. They just need to focus on improving flavors and cohesiveness.
I'm torn. 3 stars or 4. There are some standouts (meatballs and service), but there is great room for improvement. -

Thought I'd give this place a try after driving by numerous times. Took home an order of the Fettucini Alfredo. I couldn't believe how bland it was. I don't believe I'll be going back again.

Our favorite Langley restaurant
Been coming here for some time now, always good food, excellent portions, good prices, and the staff seems to be interested in you. Had the Mediterranean pasta last time, with an iced tea. The flavour combination is simply great. Our server was very attentive, providing us with the experience we enjoy in a restaurant. We'll be back, again and again!
I can agree with the previous assessment of Simone, she is always great! -

My second review. We had the same wonderful server Simone. She is as efficient and nice as she is pretty. Since I was not very hungry & it was hellishly hot, I ordered the same 1/2 Greek salad & added spicy chicken which was really good. (But the salad had much less feta than last time & was served in a bowl & was harder to eat. More feta please.) My husband ordered the pasta Chicken Genovese. It was over the top amazing. It was SOOOO GOOD!!!. The restaurant serves complimentary bread which a wonderful marinara sauce. What a great restaurant. Langley is so lucky to have a neighborhood restaurant like this one.

Good quality and good tasting food. Have had better Italian but unfortunately Langley does not have many choices for Italian.
Oh, well. This one does the job well. -
