The food is absolutely amazing. It's flavorful and honestly addictive. However, the best part is the service and attention given to their clients. I have and will continue to recommend this wonderful restaurant. And do yourself a favor and always check out the deserts. read more

i will literally name my first born after this place, pasta 209! i'd literally consider even getting it tattooed on my forehead! the pasta is to die for, i want to reincarnate into one of their noodles. the service was amazing, the crew looked very pleased to be there. their choice of music for the establishment was also very cool, i was bobbing my head to every beat and forkful of food. i'd recommend it to anyone that is looking to try it out, if you're a fan of pasta this place will be a fan of you read more

Took me hour and a half to try this food when I got to Gustine it was hot but it was even hotter in the restaurant everyone that worked there had a bad attitude and looked like they didn't want to be there so with a bad attitude the food wasn't good at all never again will I go back and told everyone I know that wants to go to save there trip read more

One of my favorite places to eat in this small town! Has the best food and employees around. My husband and I try to eat here for date night at least once a month. The food is always delicious and cooked quickly! The customer service is ON POINT! Love it here read more

My brother and I stopped by this afternoon while passing through and really enjoyed our food. I ordered the pasta bowl with chicken fettuccini alfredo and my brother ordered the tour of Italy.

Pasta 209 - Italian Near Me - Gustine, California

Embarrassed to write this review, but I go here often. This is what you wish Olive Garden or any "Italian" food tasted like. It's a good break from the regular places Gustine has which is Pizza and McDonald's. They offer good portions and good customer service, Food is always warm. read more

Simply delicious! The service is great, food delicious, awesome little spot to enjoy a meal!!! read more

See all

The food never disappoints. It's fresh and flavorful. The soups and salad are my favorite. Staff is always friendly.

Yummy !!!!!!!! great service. I am very impressed with the menu selections. Thank you for a great experience!

Excellent customer service! I ordered the bread bowl with shrimp Alfredo and gotta say it's FIRE DELICIOUS

The chicken Alfredo is my family favorite! The best way to order is to get the family plan. You get a lot of food! I

The food the first time I tried it was a bit dry but after a couple more times it was good. They keep the place pretty clean and have great service. read more

Looked forward to going to an Italian place for awhile and went here several months ago. I was disappointed in some of the food. The Brussels sprouts and potatoes were not freshly cooked, the pasta was somewhat decent enough, but the garlic shrimp looked and tasted like it had store bought minced garlic, which wasn't tasty. I'll need to give it another shot. read more

As I walked in I was immediately welcomed. The customer service was great I wasn't rushed to order, the lady answered my questions I had about a few items on the menu. The food was amazing. The portions were great, chicken was juicy and delicious, not dry. The pasta was very creamy with the sauce and was also very good. It was very interesting how they brought my order to me. They didn't call my name or anything for the order they just brought it to me and honestly it felt great, showing that they have great customer care. The Italian soda was bomb as well. As a trucker it is hard to find places to eat around certain areas but walking to this place and with the great service was very welcoming. It definitely felt like a home cooked meal. I will definitely go here everytime i go to Gustine. read more

Chef Buck is amazing and goes above and beyond. We ordered catering delivery for both our children's birthday parties and he brought everything on time as promised, well packed, and hot, along with well packed and appreciated extras. One party was in March and was pouring rain- he came out- to the park (terrible planning on my park but it was too late to move venues) and brought all the food, piping hot. Took time to greet my children and wish my son a happy birthday. The next party was my daughters in august, polar opposite 105F weather. Did he disappoint? Not at all! Perfectly made foot delivered on time and set up. Time time he even brought my baby girl a personal cake. It was so thoughtful and made her day. Everything is scratch made, and all of our guests complimented the food multiple times. Chef Buck is our go to for future family catering now. The restaurant is great too! We've ordered pick up a few times and always loved our meals. I love the Instagram videos of him cooking the food. You can taste the love in the meals, lots of heart. read more

I have nothing bad to say. 209 Pasta has always gone above and beyond my expectations each time. From a party for 30 people with 6 days notice to a Saturday night lasagna dinner for 8. Perfection each time . Professional staff and excellent communication read more

Amazing food and I'm pretty picky when it comes to Italian food. Their Italian dip sandwich is yum! read more

Ok, I'll just say this straight up: we FINALLY have an exceptional chef on the Westside, and I have been waiting for a restaurant even half this good since moving to Newman in 2003! Gustine is just a five minute drive. First visit I had the Penne Amatriciana and my wife had the Spaghetti Carbonara. A piece of the most heavenly fresh focaccia bread is literally the best I have had anywhere. The amatriciana had a hint of heat courtesy of red pepper flakes, chunks of pancetta, and was just bursting with delectable flavor. The fresh pasta completed the "wow", and the generous portions were good for a lunch the next day even after eating until I was ready to pop. The carbonara was light and delectable. The portions were again generous, and were good for a second meal as well. My wife generously gave me some, and I would like to know where chef Jason gets that pancetta... so good :-P Second time, I had the Spaghetti and Meatballs "bread bowl" and OMG is it special. Need to bring a wheelbarrow for my stomach because I ate until I thought I was going to explode it's so good, and I just barely ate half of it ... (what to do, just have to finish it tomorrow ) My wife had the Lasagna Bolenese and she says it's the best she has ever had, and she grew up in Pensylvania and has eaten in Italian restaurants in NY and all around the east coast. I got one bite and that was all she was willing to share (I think I could have a fork stuck in my hand if I made a move on it) so I will probably try that next. We split a desert that I didn't get the name of, but it was an Italian custard with a (?) amaretto flavor sprinkled with nuts and (?) dried pomegranate. Whatever it was, it was light,refreshing, and flavorful as most Italian deserts are. Yummy ;-) I have a feeling that my wife and I will probably try everything on the menu in time. The combination of reasonable prices, generous portions, and the artistry of the preparation is just not available in this neck o' the woods. We will be back on a regular basis, or maybe try the delivery service as well. This is just too good to stay away from for very long! Six stars read more

Some of the best pasta in the area for sure!! The family and I come from Los Banos to get some. Yumm it's good.

Our family was blessed with a special delivery of food from Pasta 209 dropped on our doorstep from some amazing family friends. The food was so fresh and delicious and the added desserts were out of this world! Thank you Pasta 209 for the fabulous dinner and we will be ordering again soon!!! read more

Pasta 209 - Yummy chocolate cake with peppermint frosting! - Italian Near Me - Gustine, California

We hired Pasta 209 to cater our high school senior prom. Chef Buck and his crew brought it!! The chef is a true Italian that generously fed 180 high school students. I think each plate weighed about 2 pounds after they had gone through the buffet line. The students LOVED the food! I heard nothing but rave reviews and no body went away hungry. We served his lasagna, chicken fettuccine alfredo, mac and cheese, roasted veggies, salad and focaccia bread. He also did a lovely panna cotta dessert that was "on theme" for the evening. The chef and his crew did an amazing job for our special event and next year's Senior prom committee is already asking if we can have Pasta 209 cater our next prom. read more

Love the cheese knot meatball sliders and chicken Alfredo was delicious. Great customer service!!! read more

Pasta was undercooked. Sauces had bad flavor. All over steam table. Party of four, charged when ordered. Written on styrofoam to go containers even though eating in. Paid for lasagna and told it would be ten minutes Everyone's meals done and called to pick up at different times so we ate together separately. Told at end no lasagna. I decided since others in my party did not enjoy their entree, I would just get refund. Chef very rude asking why I wanted to be refunded. Skip it. read more

The food is amazing! Made fresh everyday. The people that work there are so nice and so helpful. And inside, it's decorated so cute! If you are in Gustine or around the area I would recommend you trying this place! read more

Great food, good prices, friendly service. Just one drawback from 5 stars...plastic utensils and containers for eating in. But I guess that is how they keep costs down. Would recommend and would eat there again. read more

I never review anything on here but man, this place is amazing. Im not Italian but the food makes me say "mama mia" from how delicious it is. If youre in the area definitely try out Pasta 209. Or even if youre not in the area (seriously, I would drive 24 hours to eat here if I had to). read more

Another One Bites the Dust.. I ordered three different meals. Chicken alfredo, crab pesto and the garlic shrimp pasta. All the entrees where Bland. The pasta was old and crunchy. I also noticed the veggies that were available old and dried out. Maybe, because I came at around 4 p.m. and they were serving the leftovers from lunch. I will say this much and mean it. I will never go back! read more

Omg the volcanic shrimp fettuccine is fire so good has a perfect amount of heat. They had forgot our dessert the Oreo panna cotta. I had called and the owner was so nice to bring it over that's was just so sweet of him. That Oreo panna cotta is to die for omg is so good it's creamy and fudgy definitely a must try and great ice coffee not to sweet and still can taste the coffee perfect. read more

Pasta 209 - Italian Near Me - Gustine, California

The food is amazing and so very delicious!!! Owner and his staff are super friendly and show great appreciation to their customers! I HIGHLY recommend eating here!! read more

I really wanted to like this place. The sauce tasted sour and like the cans of sauce from the food banks. The food was mediocre to say the least. I'm confused on why the reviews on here are so good but a lever tone I have talked to that's gone here has said it was horrible. I did like the soup though. Meatballs weren't terrible.l either. Three stars because I feel bad, they were nice. Food is 2 stars though. read more

Best pasta I've ever had everything had made so meny choices. Don't forget the deserts so good

we haven't ordered from pasta 209 for 5 months because we noticed that the food wasn't as good! so today,4/06/24 we ordered our usual " 4 layer lasagne bolognese, penne amatriciana with a sm. house salad and a sm. mixed roasted vegetables. sadly they don't make the main 2 dishes the same at all!!! the 4 layer lasagna bolognese was missing the béchamel completely and was too spicy!!!! the the penne amatriciana didn't have any penne!! they substituted plain spaghetti noodles instead!!!! not good on both mains!! and they charged $2.00 more for these mains!! also very bad!!!! as for the 2 sides, the sm. salad was the same as before. however the mixed roasted vegetables had only 1 split brussels sprout and over cooked very dry potatoes!!!! horrible!!!! i am so disappointed in all of this!! when this restaurant first started we ordered a lot from them because the food was outstanding and the prices were right on the money for the quality. sadly not anymore!! i hated brussels all my long life, this is the only time i really loved them!! but not only 1 split one with dry,( and i mean very dry!! ) yucky potatoes!!! i am not surely of the rest of the main dishes, but i would lay odds that they are over priced and not like they used to be!! beware!!!!! this place is not going to be around much longer at this rate of depreciation on quality!!!!!! read more
