## Resource

After 44 years, beloved West Island pasta institution Pastamore is closing its doors on June 14th — but its legacy lives on in generations of loyal customers, former employees, and family traditions. Founded in 1981 by Venetian immigrant Mario Novati, who named sauces after his kids and grandkids, the spot became more than just a restaurant — it was a community anchor. Current owners Vince Curro and Richard Zaki say it’s time to “turn the page,” while the original family watches heartfelt tributes pour in, proving that Pastamore wasn’t just a meal — it was a memory.
