Pastas Pronto is already a fav of mine for Italian dishes for lunch and dinner but they are now open for BREAKFAST! Came here around 9 am on a Friday to try their breakfast for a change. I'm the type who loves steak for breakfast and it's one of the items in their menu! So I ordered the Steak and eggs (sunny side up) that came with red potatoes. Both the steak and eggs were seasoned well and they had A-1 steak sauce too. My wife got the 2 eggs with Ham. And we shared 2 pancakes as a finishing /dessert item. Overall, the meal was excellent and since not many people are aware they serve breakfast now, I wanted to promote this as something to try. Definitely a favorite place and I believe that even the regular lunch and dinner menu items can be ordered in the morning (they open at 8:30 am) read more

Tonight we celebrated Valentine's Day at Pastas Pronto. We were extremely happy to have come to a restaurant that serves VERY delicious Italian dishes. I'll begin by saying the following, "HUGE SHOUT OUT AND OUR COMPLIMENTS GO OUT TO THE CHEF!" Him and his team truly outdid themselves. My husband and I could not stop eating our delicious dishes. The creamy lemon sauce on my Shrimp pasta was our absolute favorite. We wanted more with the house bread they serve. We also ordered the Pollo Parmesan (spelled differently in the menu) and that was also very delicious. Chicken was tender and juicy while the exterior remained crispy. The marinara sauce tasted authentic. My husband order the Sausage & Pepperoni Calzone and was very satisfied with it too. It was huge, to say the least. And to make it a fun night, I ordered me one of their special Valentines beverage... A Strawberry mint & Guava wine mixer. So refreshing. So tasty. Not strong, Just the way I like it. Our host was a polite young man. For being a Friday night, we got seated right away. The restaurant may be small but it has a warm cozy feeling atmosphere. You know what they say, "The best jewels are found in hidden spots." Think we found ours. Thank you Pastas Pronto for making tonight a delightful evening. We will definitely be returning and bringing along some guests. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

We visited Pasta Pronto for our first time for a birthday dinner. Right off the bat, the host/waitress was so welcoming. The menu has a good amount of options. The inside is a bit smaller, but it has a very cozy feel to it. While we were there, there were only two other parties, however, they had so many to-go orders. What we ordered: Pollo Alfredo: It was a good pasta. I really like the mushrooms in the pasta, it added more depth to the flavor. Lasagna: This alone is good enough reason to go back. It was so good! It was really filling and it was a large portion. The flavor was classic. You cannot go wrong with this lasagna. Tiramisu: It wasn't a classic Tiramisu, it was a little different, however, the flavor was still there. It had a little more of the créeme rather than the ladyfingers, but it was such a good flavor, that the missing ladyfingers weren't missed. We can't believe that we haven't been to this restaurant! We will definitely be back again. read more

Love this place... they literally treat us like family. My daughter is autistic and very picky with her food and this place is her favorite (spaghetti marinara plate). All the food is amazing here - the whole family has tried different plates - my personal favorite is the chicken parmigiana with Alfredo sauce - soooo yummy!!! And their bread is also a plus! Don't think twice - try out this cute and delicious family friendly Italian spot! read more

I have not been in awhile. Not sure why... it is so good. I prefer this over Bella Italia. it is amazing how homemade everything tastes. and I was so glad my fettuccine was Al dente versus squishy pasta as some places just don't know the proper way to cook pasta in this town. Both our meals were delicious. highly recommend the chicken Marsala w/mashed potatoes. Yummy. 1 cook. 1 server. They rocked it last night. Fabiola kept a smile the entire time as she was hustling to accommodate everyone on the front end. she communicated. She acknowledged. she delivered. that's all one can ask for in these times when restaurants don't have the staff needed. Why not 5 stars? well.. I do think they could decorate this small space a little better. I was impressed they carry Rombauer & William Hill. Definitely will be back. please go support this little local restaurant. You wont be disappointed. read more

Went on 10/30/2024 Decided to give this little place a try and did not disappoint in any way! The environment was very homely, it felt like a little authentic Italian restaurant. The sangria flight was delicious, had cute little touches of pomegranates on every glass which was unique and the peach sangria was especially delicious! Calamari was a great portion and delicious, the breading seems to be different than other places but that's what made it taste a lot better and gave it flavor. We also tried the Shrimp Puttanesca and were amazing! My partner and I work at Italian restaurants so we usually don't like to eat pasta, but my partner could not stop eating the pasta and sauce. It was so amazing and we can't wait to come back again! read more

A Taste of Home at Pastas Pronto. Walking into Pastas Pronto is like stepping into the home of a genuinely passionate chef, and the food reflects that warmth in every brilliant bite. This isn't just a meal; it's an experience built on love for cooking and a commitment to quality. Culinary Excellence That Sings The food here is truly brilliant. It's the kind of cooking that makes you pause, close your eyes, and just savor the moment. Every dish I've tried tastes profoundly home-made. It has the depth of flavor that comes only from ingredients that have been thoughtfully chosen and hours spent perfecting a technique. It's comfort food elevated, stripped of pretense, and executed with stunning precision. It manages to be both complex and familiar, proving that the simplest food, when made with care, can be the most memorable. A Passionate Heart in the Kitchen You can practically taste the passion the cook has for food. It's clear that the chef Freddie views cooking as an art form and a way to connect with people. This isn't someone just putting ingredients on a plate; it's someone pouring their soul into every dish, and that emotional investment translates directly into the incredible flavor. Service That Goes Above and Beyond The excellence doesn't stop with the food. The service is excellent--attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. The server is always fantastic, offering perfect recommendations without ever hovering or rushing us. They were happy to explain the subtle nuances of the dishes and truly made us feel like welcomed guests rather than just customers. During a recent visit I asked the waitress if the cook knew how to make Chicken Madeira, one of my wife's favorite dishes and not on their menu, she returned to our table moments later with a free dish of Chicken Madeira for us to try. It was amazing. If you're looking for a restaurant where the food is absolutely superb, tastes like it was prepared by a loving family member, and is delivered with heartfelt care, then Pastas Pronto is a must-visit. read more

I'm not entirely sure what I expected when I walked in but it was a small dimly lit restaurant tucked away in a not so appealing tiny "shopping strip". I was greeted promptly upon entry and sat down to order a glass of wine and ravioli. Unfortunately they were out of the Butter Squash Ravioli that I had been looking forward to, so I settled for the meat lasagna. When my dish came out, the cheese oozing off the top made me not at all disappointed about the switch. It was exceptionally cheesy (which I appreciate). Flavor wise, the sauce and meat were decent, nothing spectacular. Portion size was good though; this will last me two meals They have a rather small wine selection, but it works. Service was consistent, attentive and friendly throughout. I'd go 3.5 stars more so than a 3, but the meal itself just didn't "wow" me to that much above average if that makes sense. Would I recommend checking the place out? That I would. You may feel different! read more

The penne chicken pesto is AMAZING!!! So unique and flavorful. Mouthwatering. The bread is so so so fresh and delish too!

I ordered from door dash. I was excited to order and try. We got the lasagna , garlic fries side, bread, and chicken Alfredo. The lasagna was decent, the garlic fries seemed microwaved which was a huge disappointment. The chicken Alfredo needed salt. Breads good. read more

Ambiance : 10/10 a good date spot, plays oldie music and is more intimate as the restaurant isn't huge which I prefer Taste : The meatballs lacked integrity as they were more squishy than they felt firm, they also tasted like they were reheated and they don't look house made. The sauce was pretty good, a bit runny and not super tomatoey as I myself prefer but for the craving it did its job. I came in today as I was recommended this place for its pasta and seeing the high reviews on yelp defiantly encouraged me to want to try it. I was craving pasta and haven't ordered Spaghetti in a while so this was something that I was planning to order. As I enter the restaurant I was greeted by the server and usually they ask for how many and I automatically assumed the server said "how many" instead of "you can where ever ". The music didn't really let me hear her good and I think that this miscommunication made it kind of awkward as I waited for her to seat me as I didn't hear what she said. I felt bad because the server probably thought I was being rude but I just genuinely could not hear what she said. Despite this the service was still good and she was very sweet. Overall I really enjoyed coming alone I thought that this place was very nice and played good music and the service was good as I was given my food pretty quickly. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a cute lunch/dinner spot! read more

Takeout order. Staff was friendly. Pollo Picatta and Pollo Alfredo were amazing. The bread is so good. I can't wait to eat here again.

This is based on an online delivery order. I will first say that I gave 3 stars just for the bread! The garlic cheese bread and the house made rolls. Very good. Excellent. The actual pasta. All of the pasta I ordered was very overcooked. Even the chicken in each order was like hard, rubberlike, chewy. The sauce for each meal was not seasoned at all. Had to add soooo much salt just to get some kind of flavor. We ordered chicken parm, chicken Alfredo and chicken with creamy pesto sauce. There was an abundance of garlic in each dish as if that's the only flavor that was added. This is the first time we have eaten food from here and we were extremely disappointed. We wanted so much to love it. read more

3 when you order to go. 5 when you dine in. When i got home all the sauces were spilled inside the bags the pastas didn't taste as good as when we dine in. My order as also not correct when i got home. I didn't double check it because the bag was tied tight several times. read more

Previously rated this place 4 stars, but after my last experience I will never order from this place again. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich and calamari through DoorDash on a Tuesday night, hoping I wouldn't have to cook for once, but what I received was completely inedible. It was as if both items had been sitting out since lunchtime. The food was stale and lukewarm, probably microwaved. The calamari was so rubbery I could barely bite through it or even tear it! I even took a video because I couldn't believe this place would let this food leave their kitchen. The chicken Parmesan was, for lack of a better word, disgusting. Hammered down so thin, it was rubbery and tasted so old, it was not edible. I don't know if they have a new cook/chef but what I received was not ok, I feel violated and taken advantage of. read more

Just ordered 2 plates from Door Dash. Horrible! The portions were kids size, meatballs were NOT homemade (tasted like Costo meatballs), and the pasta was very bland. Dennys makes better Italian food...seriously. We usually order from the Ceres Pasta Pronto and LOVE it, but sadly they went out of business. This was a complete waste of $40. read more

My husband and I just ate at Pastas Pronto on Coffee Road in Modesto for the first time. We loved the owner Maximillian. He warmly greeted us right away when we walked in. My husband loved the spaghetti and meatballs he ordered, and I enjoyed the penne. Freddy, the chef, prepared delicious dishes with very generous portions. We finished the meal with a slice of lemon cake and tiramisu. Yum! It is a small restaurant which allows the owner to interact with his customers. What a great personality. He made us feel so welcomed. If you are looking for a quieter, more intimate restaurant, with individual attention and delicious food, check out this restaurant. We will be back! read more

This is one of the BEST pasta places I have ever had! My husband and I come once a month and it never fails! Excellent service as well!

We just ordered from Pasta Pronto. It was our first time. Never will we order here again. Bland, bland, bland! No flavor! I should open a restaurant, people don't seem to know how to cook much anymore. Plus I barely got any noodles. They did gv plenty of sauce, but who cares, it is so bland I wd not eat more sauce anyway! The sauce was also very spicy, and I never asked for spicy sauce! U live and learn! with doordash Spaghetti and meat sauce, and chicken Alfredo 46.00. I wd not mind paying it if it was good. read more
