Ordered lunch to share and sat out on the patio. The gentleman working the front was nice and helpful when figuring out what to pick. We decided to split the gnocchi in a pesto sauce and the veggie lover pizza. Everything tasted amazing and had quality ingredients. We will be back to try more! read more

Best pizza and pasta in the area and I love that they use olive oil! Highly recommend them.

Ordered the chicken parm for take out. It was really just soggy breaded chicken in a dish of sauce and melted cheese. It was good, but not great. The chicken should be crispy. The sauce and cheese was great, but maybe serve that in the side so the chicken stays crispy. read more

Food was gross! Mushy pasta is never ok! I had fettuccine Alfredo- ew. Service was unfriendly at best. Ambiance? lol. Basically an airport 'restaurant' experience. Totally sucked. $48 for two pasta entrees- no salad, no bread- I got water, husband got pellagrino. Never again. read more

Food: 5/5 - been missing homemade pasta that tastes like it's from Italy. Little shop in the San Juan Riverside Marketplace! They had so many options and we wanted to try a few different things. The gentleman recommended gnocchi with vodka sauce, which I don't think I would have ever tried. But wow, was it good. Pillowy soft gnocchi, but ton soft delicious sauce Service: 5/5 - takeaway food that came out quick and piping hot Ambiance: 5/5 - cool little marketplace. Really enjoyed the vibes, open concept with several stands for food. Ample seating too. read more

This is such a gem! We have been back twice already in just one span of 7 days. It is that good. They are located inside the River Street Marketplace in the big building with multiple food stalls. The first visit I tried the ravioli with asparagus. And I took pappardelle with their vodka sauce to go. The second time I came with the family, and we tried the rigatoni with vodka sauce, the chicken meatballs, and the kids fusili pasta with butter. They were, unfortunately, out of the beets and carrots so I didn't get to order the insalata I was craving. Hopefully next time they will have the ingredients they need to make the salad on their menu. The meatballs were good but I would have hoped for more/larger quantity for that price so wouldn't get it again. Definitely realized that the most economical way is to get the fresh pasta to go with their sauce. That was enough for all 4 of us to eat plus have leftovers. Their cooked pastas are the perfect size for two people to share $12-15. The kids pasta is a great deal $5, and they polished it off easily. They loved the shape and have asked already for us to get it again. So excited this place has opened and is close by. We will probably be getting it once a week. read more

First time visiting this area in SJC. Very nice outdoor area. Tried Pastalia for a quick dinner. We ordered the - arugula and prosciutto flat bread - it was the right flavoring but i wish it was cooked longer. The bottom of the pizza didn't get crispy and the cheese wasn't fully melted. - kids butter noodles - more pasta water than butter but it was decent - lemon ricotta raviolis - very decadent and the sauce was a heavy cream. Good flavor but could only eat very little. Overall portions were good for the price and there were a lot of options. Recommend for an easy, quick dinner in the area. read more

I scarfed down my pasta before I got to take a picture because I was so dang hungry. This was one of the few popping places here and I am so happy I got some pasta from here! Pasta is made fresh and you can customize the sauce and pasta you want. It doesn't look like much in the to-go container, but you'll get full off the serving of pasta! Flavors are amazing. There is a bit of a wait to order and get your food (buzzer system), but staff is so friendly. In addition to pasta, they also have pizza (more like flatbread). Seating is outdoors since it's part of River Street Marketplace. You'll have to pay for parking! read more

A fun place for both kids and adults. Choose you pasta, sauce and toppings. Pizza made as you like it. Quick fast-food kind of place that offers "good food." read more

The pasta was insanely fresh! This was the only food my kids would eat and they LOVED it! I got the pizza and it was delicious. It had a little kick to it which I loved. The staff were nice and patient. There's not really a lot of indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in SJC read more

It's a long wait, but it will be hot and very yummy! And the beauty of it is choosing you pasta, then your sauce and any add ons! That is if you prefer to customize otherwise they have traditional orders. We got the lemon ricotta ravioli green beans, am tempted to get just the green beans it was so good! Then an Oder of pasta with vodka sauce. Over the top delicious. I can't wait to go back! read more

Asked for fettuccini with tomato basil sauce, one of the worst pastas I've ever had. The sauce was so bland and the fettuccini noodle basically falling apart, way overcooked. My child loves pasta and wouldn't even take another bite. Had high hopes but didn't deliver read more

Tried Pastilia for the first time this weekend. I love all the options they have and I especially love the 'create your own' pasta with various pasta, meat and sauce options! I got the butternut squash and brown butter sage ravioli. It was pretty good. The service was fast too! It was a great option if you're looking for a quick, and yummy bite! read more

10++ Incredible Experience at Pastalia! As a native New Yorker and Italian, I've had my fair share of great pizza, but nothing--and I mean nothing--compares to what I had at Pastalia today. My mom, my son, and I enjoyed an unforgettable lunch, and I have to say, this place is beyond exceptional. I ordered the prosciutto pizza, and my son had the pepperoni--both were out of this world. The bread, the cheese, the buffalo mozzarella, the prosciutto--every single bite was perfection. It's hard to put into words just how phenomenal this meal was. If you're looking for top-tier Italian cuisine and a pizza experience like no other, Pastalia is a must-visit. This is a solid 10+++ in my book. I'll be back, and I highly recommend you check them out, too! read more

The Alfredo sauce was excellent. The spaghetti was good too. The chicken meatballs were average. Service was great. A great choice in the food hall read more

So yummy! PLEASE try this amazing, fresh, tasty Italian restaurant! The concept is fun - pick out your fresh pasta, pick out your sauce and voila! A delicious Italian meal made just for you. No kidding, their food is super fresh, super delicious - the flatbreads are amazing (my fave is the burrata, arugula). The owners couldn't be nicer and every single thing I have tried I have LOVED. Also, the servings are very generous so I actually get 2 meals out of my order. read more

The best service! These pasta and pizzas are amazing. They even sell the pasta by the pound and make them right there in this little kiosk. If you're lucky, you'll even find them at a local farmers market!! The oats and sauce is authentic. I asked for a side of Parmesan for my pizza and she freshly grated it right on top. Very delicious and great customer service read more

So excited that my favorite pasta maker opened a restaurant!! We've been buying Mr. DoValle's pasta for years at the farmers market and finally got the chance to eat the pasta cooked at his restaurant today! His pasta is the best pasta I've had in Southern California, and I often buy it to gift to family. Today, we tried the Cacio e pepe, puttanesca, and calabrese ?piadina (like a pizza). All the food was delicious, and we especially liked the cacio e pepe. Also wanted to mention that everything was well-priced since I'm used to paying $20-$30 for pasta dishes. Will definitely go back in the future! read more

With Ben twice now and it's certainly our favorite cacio e pepe around. The pasta and the sauces are tremendous. You can taste the quality compared to most Italian places in the area. If you're ever at River Street this is a great spot if you're hungry for Italian food. The portions are quite large and one dish can easily be shared. read more

This kiosk is AWESOME, my kid loves it, he always order bolognese but has fun choosing a different kind of noodle every time he goes. Prices are great, service is quick and portions are generous. read more

So I really wanted to try this from the 5 stars. It was a bit disappointing. The marinara was bland. Pasta noodles were good. I ordered a side of the parmigiana crusted chicken and it was very dry. I thought it would come with sauce but did not. We also got the chicken and beef meatballs that were decent. Our granddaughter had the vodka sauce and liked it. I will have to try something different if I go back. read more

My favorite place. Everything is so good and great sized portions. They have a variety that you can mix and match everything to your liking. The owners and employees are all super nice. We go here multiple times a week! read more

I'm not big on pasta but the pasta here is probably some of the best I've had personally. Including for a partner of mine who has a gluten allergy, they had so many different unique and freshly made pasta options for her. Truly worth the drive and the portions are really generous. If you're craving Italian and want pasta. Skip the restaurant and go here! read more

This place looks delicious but they should not advertise gluten free pasta if they boil it all in the same water. It is not a safe option to eat here if you are gluten sensitive or Celiac until they change this. read more

Amazing !!!! Chef Huseyin made us the most amazing pasta from scratch. Everything is handmade and we cannot wait to come back. It's located in the rodeo River Street, which is such a fun area and there's a great cookie place next-door. Definitely coming all the time. And the prices are so fair, it's some of the best pasta. I can't wait to try the pizza next read more

The pasta and service was amazing! Loved both of the items I got...the fettuccine bolognese was my favorite! Will be craving this and can't wait to go back to try the other items. Their pasta noodles ARE SO GOOD! read more

Love the food here. So far I've ordered the meat lovers and prosciutto arugula pinsa they are both amazing. The meat lovers is a little spicy, just how I like it. The crust is crispy, yet soft in the middle. read more

We stopped by to walk around and then at the last minute, decided to grab a bite to eat here and realize we had one minute until closing, and the gentleman helped us was super accommodating said no problem. Will keep the kitchen open. Glad that they did because the food was absolutely delicious. We had eggplant Parm Spinach raviolis, grilled vegetables with Barada cheese. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for being so awesome. read more

I am in love with this place. We went first in a very cold rainy night and ate in our car but dang that was some delicious pasta. Butternut squash ravioli in a garlic butter sauce that was multiple chef's kisses! So good in fact I had to go back the next week and have the exact same thing again. I couldn't stop thinking about it. Fresh pasta. Delicious flavor. Great friendly service. We will be back again (and again) read more

Ordered the lemon butter ravioli with asparagus. Very fresh, extremely delicious! They also have kids options and the kids enjoy picking their pasta from the glass case. Would come back! read more

This is the best Italian food I've ever had- and I come from an Italian family. REALLY good.

The rigatoni pasta noodles were good but the bolognese ragu sauce was watery and absent of depth and flavor. A big miss. It was served in a cardboard box, and the outside of box was covered in fingerprints of sauce. Just a subpar experience overall. read more

The pasta is so fresh and authentic. Their raviolis, tortellini, tortellini are stuffed very generously. I prefer their pasta and delicious sauces to take home and prepare later. They are fit to impress company. It's the same concept as the pasta makers in the borghi antichi (old villages) of Italy. read more
