Rasta Pasta

What Reddit says

Italian-Jamaican fusion spot from Kensington Market, cheap and long regarded as a neighbourhood staple, with jerk chicken praised. Some say the newer Waterworks location is pricier and doesn't cook meat over fire. One mention of closure appears to refer to other places in a list.
