Food review: Firenze pasta

Food description: Penne with grilled chicken, eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini, red onions
Food rating: 6 out of 10
Times ordered: 1

It might sound a little weird to order pasta at a creperie, but I've actually had a few of their pasta dishes (couldn't resist). Their pastas are ok if you're looking for something quick, cheap, and basic. It's more of a lunch/takeout style thing. This was my first time trying the firenze pasta, and the overall experience was pleasant. I'd consider ordering it again for lunch or dinner on-the-go. In terms of flavor, it's definitely better than the Roma or Palermo pastas. The downsides? The sauce wasn't really a sauce at all, just some leftover juice from the vegetables. It was too watery and splashed around when I stirred it. The penne and eggplant were overcooked and the zucchini was undercooked, creating a feeling of both crunchiness and sogginess in your mouth at once. But, if you're not a stickler for texture, the flavor's not half bad, especially after adding some grilled chicken to the mix. And unless you really really love garlic, I'd avoid the garlic bread.
