The best Ragu sauce in town
Mike G.

The food is made fresh and it's very delicious. They make the bread fresh per customer comes out very hot. Very nice people and well done. I highly recommend eating the food here. I had their tiramisu which they make themselves and it's absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

Chicken Pollo Parmigiana Pasta
Claudia A.

We were the only ones there, so our service was pretty great! Unfortunately, they ran out of calamari, so we're gonna have to come back to try it because the pasta was absolutely phenomenal!

Lemon Cake

Amazing service provided by Nikki! She made a delicious SangriaWe started with the Shrimp Scampette and thoroughly enjoyed the cream sauce. Then on to Lasagna and Penne Paesano, loved every bite! Pricing is very reasonable, hidden gem; nothing fancy but taste great!

Sausage & pepperoni Calzone

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!!!

Pollo Alfredo
Jean A.

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.

The clam chowder and salad were large portions and delicious. I had the pollo Alfredo. Super large, you can share the plate. Prices are reasonable. Service was welcoming and wonderful

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.

Calamari

Great food and desserts!! Even the bread was so yummy. Definitely will go back to try other dishes! I had the Spicy Pollo Pasta and it was delicious.

Here, you order your food, grab a number, and find your own seat for the food to be brought out to you. We sat at a table outside to decide what to order. There were no menus available so we just had to search for it online before heading inside to order. Despite being third in line from the register, we had an extremely long wait to order. There was only one person running the register who also had to make the drinks, meaning the service incredibly slow. We wanted to order the five taco platter, garlic fries, chicken Caesar salad, and mimosa pitcher. Sadly, we were only able to get the pitcher and salad. The cashier told us "sorry, we aren't doing fries right now." Not doing fries? Every plate in the vicinity had fries on them. She said that because it was brunch hour, only food on the brunch menu could be ordered. We looked at the brunch menu again and literally saw garlic fries as an option as a side for the burgers/sandwiches. No where did it specify that you can't order off the other menu and both were available online. What bothered us about this is that we placed this order at around 1:50pm, and brunch ended at 2:00pm. I understand that we are not entitled to things on the lunch menu during brunch-time for items like the tacos, but considering the menu swap was less than 10 minutes away and they were quite literally were "doing fries" at the time, it didn't make much sense to us. The only food that we ended up ordering was the Chicken Caesar Salad. This one dish took a super long time to receive. By the time it was brought out, the three of us nearly finished the Mimosa pitcher. The waitress noticed we had no silverware and said she would go grab us some. Because of how the service had been going thus far, we placed a bet on whether or not the waitress would come back with the silverware. Surprise, surprise. She didn't. We had to go inside later and search for silverware ourselves. We weren't even able to get sharing plates which was upsetting since the waitress asked us if we would be sharing the salad. The salad itself looked delicious, but was bland. The dressing was missing that zing and zest that a Caesar dressing typically has. I do appreciate that is was a chopped salad, had avocado, and seasoned croutons. It is just unfortunate that it was lacking any flavor at all. The food prices are quite affordable for the quantity of food you receive though. This experience was disappointing because I was so optimistic about the place. The menu looked good, it had fun and casual vibes and a cool crowd of people. If Commonwealth worked towards better service practices, it would have been a more positive experience.

Location does take reservations and they get very busy on holidays. They have a full bar they have bench seating and regular table styles. High-end cuisine with flavors that pairs, so great together. We started with the bruschetta while enjoying our cocktails. Then moved onto the absolutely perfectly cooked filet mignon coated, and garlic butter. Vegetables cooked to perfection.. Then, of course, we had to finish it with their crème brûlée, amazing vanilla flavor, perfect caramelized sugar top. This is not a cheap place to go to so make sure that you bring your wallet, and your appetite.

It was Cesar's first time there, and I told him he wouldn't be disappointed. When the food came out, his portion was noticeably taller than the others, but I didn't think much of it at first. As we started eating, I noticed both Misha and Cesar pushing most of the pasta aside. When I looked closer, the majority of the dish seemed to be mostly ricotta cheese. Neither of them ate more than a few bites before stopping altogether. I politely let the waitress know the lasagna just didn't seem like the quality we were used to. She immediately took the plates to the back and brought us the bill, still charging for all three dishes. I asked if I could speak with the manager, and she told me she was the manager. I explained that we were simply disappointed with the meal and would have gladly shown what the issue was, but she told me the dishes had already been thrown away. She said she had shown the chef and that he makes it the same way every time. She eventually removed two of the lasagnas from the bill, but then came back and said the chef's response was, "If you never come back again, that's fine." That honestly surprised me more than the food itself. I've owned a business for 30 years, and I can't imagine ever responding to a customer that way, especially a returning one. I'm not writing this out of anger -- just genuine disappointment. We had always enjoyed coming here, but after tonight, unfortunately, we won't be returning.
