Let me say it “rite ya,” the restaurant “Pasta Right Ya” is nothing short of superb. After finally mastering the name, I visited the restaurant. Rite Ya is located in English harbor, and the visitors have an outstanding view of the sea and yachts docked nearby.

The bistro itself is open, and the fresh breeze envelop you with their touching blanket. Needless to say the restaurant itself has a Caribbean style, with wooden floors and balconies.

The hosts were pleasant, and I was welcomed to my table. The menu isn’t half bad, there were starters, main meals, and deserts. After some questioning and much deliberation, I finally decided I will order the Fish Carpaccio ($35) and Tuna Quiche ($39) for starters. For the main course, I ordered the Spaghetti Alle Vongole ($55) Wahoo Rossini ($95), and for desert, the Chocolate Fondant ($44).

One thing I really loved about this restaurant was the open kitchen. This I must recommend to all restaurants. The sight of your chef cooking meals entertains one’s hunger, but the smell! Oh wonderful scents! Such was the case in Rite Ya, and as the waves of scent travelled pass me, I could feel my stomach rumbling in delight.

When the starters arrived, I was more than ready to receive my meal.

First I descended upon the Fish Carpaccio. The lemon, black pepper and fresh lettuce really gave the delicate fish a “light” flavor. Also, for those of us who want even more punch, the beautifully carved lemon is up for squeezing. The Tuna Quiche was nice and warm after the colder Carpaccio. I found that the tuna and the cheese shone through. I was surprised that they worked so nicely, but the Quiche was simply delicious.

When the Wahoo Rossini arrived, I was ecstatic about the wonderful slices of goose liver pâté! The deliciously tender meat really topped off the Wahoo. Overall, the spices and sauces used in the dish gave it a really unique flavor. The texture was amazing, and the two seemed to melt in your mouth. The Spaghetti Alle Vongole was also exceptional and taste of fine white wine and garlic flavored the pasta and clam to perfection. What I really enjoyed was the balance and the lack of a defining, single flavor in this dish. It was more like a collaboration of flavors than one.
