The restaurant's last day will be Oct 30, 2025. After serving locals and visitors in this fabulous location for 31 years, the owners are moving on to other pursuits. Apparently this beautiful, wespace is to be utilized by the pizza place next door. - Service was friendly and attentive. I wish the owners all the best in their future pursuits! read more

Went to eat at this cute little place and had lunch outside. The weather was gorgeous. My server was very nice and helpful. Food was delicious. The sauce and noodles were cooked perfect! Great place! read more

Delicious sandwich, disgusting place. The restroom was super dirty, the kitchen looked questionable too.

The service was very friendly, location is great--but the food was extremely disappointing. I hate leaving a negative review and rarely do but I wish I had known what the food would have been like before we went. I got the tomato and basil spaghettini with chicken added. It completely lacked any flavor. I needed to add salt which is rare to do at a restaurant as things usually come over salted. The chicken was poorly seasoned and weirdly cut, the skin of the chicken was served face side down, and extremely soggy with strange cuts in it (I'm assuming the cuts in the chicken were to make it cook faster). Everything felt very plain and basic. My mom got the spinach chicken and it was the same type of chicken I got, but with melted cheese on it over a bed of raw spinach that had zero flavor as well. There was not a single hint of garlic in anything. The sliced bread that came with each plate was basically like sandwich bread and not even toasted or warm. I really wanted to love this place but I'm honestly a little surprised at the other positive reviews--maybe we came on an off day? But one look at the photos of the food would have told me all I needed to know. read more

Absolutely THE worst food experience I have ever had. Food Horrid - Service - subpar- ambience- not good.

The food was very disappointing. As soon as I saw the chicken, I knew we chose the wrong restaurant even before taking a bite. -Cannelloni-was the best meal but nothing special to note. The sauce was flavorful and well seasoned. -Jumbo scallops-Sauce was bland and broken. Husband described the scallops as "Not horrible even though they look rubbery and bland." -Vendura pasta-was very salty and tasted strong of garlic but was also surprisingly bland. Added chicken and it was very dry. Seemed to be cooked from frozen in too much liquid making it dry and unappetizing. All 3 meals were served with a cold dry slice of bread. We were heading to Chipotle but walked past Island Pasta and thought it would be more fun. We should have gone to chipotle. It would have tasted better and we would have saved $ read more

Stopped by to have a quick lunch after a walk along the beach nearby. The antipasto app was enough for two and really good. Bought some fresh made spaghetti for 5.00 as well. What would life be like without pasta. read more

my husbands cat just died and we just wanted some buttered noodles. Website and map says it closes at 9:00, but they refused to take our order (for pickup mind you) at 8:34, leaving him crying outside on the curb. read more

Riley and Alfonso. YOU BOTH DID AN AMAZING JOB. Both of the 2 young people were short staffed but they were handling the customers with a smile. I would love to come back and eat here again. Food was amazing. The view is beautiful. We had more food than this but I didn't want to be rude and be all over the table. read more

Fabulous service, great location. Food was good and price was very reasonable. Stopped here for a quick bite before watching the sunset at the Hotel Coronado. We were greeted and served by three young and very friendly servers who were fabulous. Don't always see that these days. Had a Caesar salad which was very good and a meatball sub which was pretty good. There was a side of pasta noodles and tomatoes which I thought was spectacular! We were in and out quickly to walk down the street to see the sunset! Great overall experience for a quick, inexpensive but good bite to eat in a casual environment read more

They have the most delicious food, and the nicest wait staff. I was in Coronado for three days and ate there twice. I strongly recommend the eggplant parm, soo good!! read more

My wife and I wanted to get a bite to eat before attending a performance, and we both had a yen for pizza and beer. Island Pasta to the rescue ! We ordered a 12" pizza loaded with mozzarella, red and green peppers, black olives and onions. Hooboy, it was delicious, and very satisfying for two hungry people. The beer was served with ice cold glasses, an important feature some restaurants forget. Although the place was pretty busy, the service was friendly and timely. All in all, a great experience. We plan on returning soon. read more

i canttttt breathhhhh whennnn you're notttt there Now that i have your undivided attention...i order the manicotti with my pookiebear and id give it a solid 4/10. The pasta was chewy and the sauce was bland but ok. I would rate my overall experience a skibidi out of 10 read more

Food was disgusting and cold, with no flavor, no taste this was our first time here and last time The lady who served us was so sweet beside anything else its ashamed to serve that food read more

Decided to stop in for lunch when kiddos were craving pizza and pasta. I try to stay low carb so was super excited to see they have something called a Pizza Bowl, which is really a pizza just without the bread (I know! I know! That could be the best part but my waistline may not agree). The Pizza Bowl comes with sauce, cheese, and your choice of 5 additions. I ordered mine with Portobello, spinach, artichoke hearts, and pepperoni. It arrived hot and definitely satisfied that pizza craving. Daughter and hubs shared the Sundried tomato pizza. Although my daughter liked it, she thought the feta was just a tad too strong tasting and thought adding basil might have made it even better. Son ordered the fettuccine with clam sauce, and killed it. Service was great and very attentive. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch. read more

My family and I visited Coronado , we went to eat at island pasta. excellent food. That was the best Italian food that we have had. great servic. enjoyed. We will go back just to eat there. read more

The lobster ravioli was the only dish that tasted good. The pizza tasted like junior high school cafeteria pizza. The ravioli was bland. The lasagna tasted equivalent to your run of the mill grocery store freezer section lasagna. The garlic bread was more like buttered baguette toast. The pastas came with a slice of I think wheat bread, I'm not sure if it was plain wheat but it wasn't good either way. I've never encountered anywhere that gave you a slice of un-toasted plain bread with your pasta. I do not recommend this place in the slightest. In fact the person who decided we should go here is barred for a week from any further restaurant suggestions. The staff was friendly although weren't very attentive despite the place being practically empty. read more

Was in town for comic con and we were on our way home when we saw Island Pasta so we thought a quick bite before heading home. The restaurant is cute and adorable with a great little patio for outdoor seating. The openness of the restaurant was wonderful the breeze was so refreshing. It really was a beautiful day to enjoy with the breeze. The service was fantastic, the ladies who seated and helped us were so friendly, welcoming and attentive not to mention patient especially with so many tempting options on the menu it was hard to make up our minds. When we couldn't decide between items she was quick to help us pick which one she liked. The lasagna was incredibly good thank you. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Cute little place, romantic spot for a date night or just even for a dinner stop. I ordered the lobster ravioli and my husband wanted to try the pizza. First thought service was great we got seated right away, brought out the waters and menu, we already knew what we wanted. First bite of the ravioli was just WOW, the sauce was so delicious, the lobster def taste fresh and the pizza was even more delicious, great food great service. Will def coming back here! read more

Very dissatisfied with my palette at this place, if you are a foodie i would not recommend! I am a big fan of pasta and pizza but sad to say Olive Garden would have been more pleasing. Such outstanding prices for the quality. I really hate to tarnish on the homemade pasta but something should definitely be adjusted to the recipe! The pasta was just very doughy with no richness. For the Ambiance and style i expected so much more and to be sitting still in the restaurant having the time waiting for service to express my true thoughts would speak volumes to me as a business owner. I fear if it wasn't in a tourist area there wouldn't be much returning business. I guess I should've taken the hint when using the restrooms. read more

Island Pasta - my marinara sauce that seemed more of a tomato sauce consistency. Very watered down and no thickness to consistency what so ever. - Italian Near Me - Coronado, California

Saw this place with a friend as we came to spend the day in San Diego, definitely was not as we expected. The pasta was very doughy, would not recommend at all. Not to mention the sourdough bread they served as that was dry too. read more

Awful service. We were waiting at our table for about ten minutes and a server never showed up. There were only a few other tables occupied, including the one right next to us. A server was tending to them and even noticed us and gave us a dirty look. You'd think the server would acknowledge us and let us know someone would be right with us or even apologize for the terrible service, but nope. Don't recommend. read more

It was super hot in the restaurant and it was the most mediocre food I've had. Frozen pizza is better than the pizza they served me.

Such a cute place with plenty of inside and outside seating. The service was fast and friendly. We made our own pizza with tomato..pepperoni..and mushrooms. The pizza was so good and this crust. The red wine was smooth and good price. We also got spagatteni with basil and tomato and garlic. The food was good and fresh read more

Instead of eating at the Hotel Coronado, we opted to walk around the island to see what was available and this is what we found. Fairly busy on a Friday night, but the wait was short. A little pricey, but the Italian food tasted great and the portions were plenty enough to share amongst the four of us. The customer service was fine. The restaurant was cute and the atmosphere was very chill. read more

Great food at a very affordable price! Definitely will be back. You can't go wrong with a sandwich and a side of pasta salad.

The service was good for the most part. Our first waitress was attentive and got orders correct. At some point our waitress got switched. The 2nd one brought out a cold side of Alfredo when I asked for a side for my nieces pasta. Food was not good at all, we all had stomach aches afterwards. All the pasta seemed DRENCHED in oil. No flavor whatsoever on any dish. I had the salmon, it was supposed to have a "spicy pesto" which was just bland. Only gluten free item was noodles, I tried those and they were too, drenched in oil. Coffee was terrible as well. Had nice seating inside and out but would never go again. read more

After a nice cool down by the beach we stumble across this little restaurant for lunch. It's a nice little Italian food base restaurant that is comparable to Olive Garden. The atmosphere is a very chill beach life vibe and there is no AC! But! The ice tea made the intensity of the heat melt away. The food quality is average, but their service is awesome. They are friendly, warm and VERY accommodating. Our cheesy garlic bread came out late and they gave us half off the price. Phenomenal! Furthermore, after our tab was paid we needed a little more time to figure out where to head to next and they did not pressure us in any sort of way to leave. We were very grateful for the hospitality since we were new to the area. The noise level can get loud and the place is clean. No WiFi. Overall, great service and decent food is not too shabby in my books. read more

We visited Island Pasta in Coronado Friday night. We sat outside and we ordered the CaesarSalad with chicken and the Spaghettini with Meat Sauce and a meatball and Italian sausage. I also ordered the Island salad for an appetizer. The island salad was fantastic. The dressing was little bit salty,little bit sweet which complemented the greens and olives perfectly. My wife's Caesar salad with chicken was pretty disappointing. The salad itself wasn't flavorful and the chicken pieces all still had their anemic skin on. Very unappetizing! Pictures to follow. My Spaghettini was cooked right but the sauce was bland and the sausage was overly spicy, which I can handle, but if others don't know it they would be shocked. The meatball was ultimately the worst meatball I've ever had in my life. It tasted as if they just scooped out hamburger, made it into a meatball, didn't season it and microwaved it. Now, as I have said before in my reviews, I'm third generation Italian from both sides, retired professional firefighter that knows how to cook and a pretty good reviewer of Italian food. Please pass on this restaurant if you're looking for good Italian food. read more
