The 14th annual Taste of Yaletown presented by the Yaletown Business Association is now on until October 28 with 25 participating restaurants offering innovative pairings, and special menus at set prices of $25, $35, and $45. La Pentola is presenting a $45 menu for this year’s festival. I had the opportunity to try out the Taglierini De Mare at a media preview featuring side stripe shrimp, mussels, arrabbiata, and herb breadcrumbs.
