Complimentary bread and oil

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)

WOW!! Okay so I haven't given a review in quite some time. The reason being in all honesty there hasn't been anything ive tries worth reviewing BUT... this place is absolute FIRE!! I haven't had such a great meal in years!! Well at least not while dining out. I've tried many Italian restaurants in Modesto but this little gem is 100% PHENOMENAL!! every detail was spot on!! I started off with the calamari and an order of capresses, the calamari was seasoned to perfection, nice crisp but not to crispy. Followed up with my all time favorite Chicken Marsalas, now folks let me tell you I make a mean Marsalas myself but this guy made some next level stuff..chicken was absolutely perfect,sauce was very tasty,mashers were on point and even the veggies were cooked to perfection. Im posting pix you guys gotta try this place. My wife ordered the shrimp scampi was delicious as well,every shrimp was perfect and the sauce was SMACKIN!!!. Last but not least I had the tiramisu and a double shot of espresso. Perfection!!!

Penne Timballo
McKenzie N.

My boyfriend and I had a craving for some good Italian food tonight. Pastas Pronto completely exceeded our expectations. Not only was the food delicious, the service was amazing! The service was super fast and our server made sure we were well taken care of. This family owned business was the perfect vibe for our date night. We started off with some delicious homemade bread. I could go on and on about how good the bread was. Then we ordered the calamari for our appetizer. This calamari was seasoned super well and not tough at all. For our entree, we shared the penne timbolli (i believe) and the shrimp scampi. The shrimp scampi was the star of the show. The sauce was so delicious. We will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you, Jesus for the fantastic service!!

Penne paisano
Alejandra O.

Came in after seeing a reel on Instagram. It's not located on the best side of town so beware . I ordered the penne paisano and it was absolutely delicious. A basket of bread was brought out to our table and a vinaigrette dressing before our food ,the dressing tasted more fitting for a salad than bread . So we ate the bread once the pastas came out . The waitress was patient and very kind . The business feels Like A Very mom and pops like business ,with its hanging plants and glass over table tops .i will definitely make my way back To try other dishes.

Yummy rolls

Tonight I ordered from Pastas Pronto, I ordered the eggplant linguini and added mushrooms I also ordered a batch of their amazing rolls. My dinner was wonderful they provided cheese and oil with vinegar for the rolls. I am a fan already of their minestrone and yummy salads the food is fresh cooked and very tasty with good presentation! The portion was generous and I have enough for tomorrow The price was fair a bit more expensive for me as I had it delivered. Money spent well worth it, for a delicious dinner.

Chicken Pollo Parmigiana Pasta

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!

Half of a Pepperoni & Sausage Calzone
Shelly Y.

Excellent customer service and good food! We tried the Cioppino which we thought had too much lemon flavor and a bit too much spice. The sausage/pepperoni calzone was pretty good but the bread was too soft for my taste. My favorite was the pollo Jerusalem. The mashed potatoes were delicious and so was the cream sauce. The chicken breast wasn't seasoned much and had a boiled chicken texture which I didn't love. Overall it was a pleasant experience and the food was fresh but I feel like with a few tweaks it can be so much better. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes!

Cioppino
Tony M.

Food was really great. Loved the Caprese. Cioppino was a tad spicy for me but loved it over all. Service was awesome. Will definitely be back to try the calzone.

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.

Lemon Cake
Michelle R.

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!

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.

We ate at Bauhaus for the first time tonight and everything was perfect. Every single bite of…read moreevery dish was remarkable. I started out with their house made soda - a sparking strawberry drink that was extremely refreshing. We were there early and had the pleasure of sitting at the counter and talking to Tye - the owner/chef and Shauna the wait staff. Dishes are to share. Tye explained that he serves the dishes in particular order to deliver balance with intensely flavored dishes alternating with milder bites. We started with a simple plate of Marcona almonds, Castelvetrano olives and Manchego cheese. We then enjoyed the cabbage with peanut sauce dish - which may sound unusual but was absolutely delightful. We practically licked the plate - in fact asked for a spoon to capture all of the sauce. Next came whipped feta and ricotta cheese served with thinly sliced stone fruit some chili crisp and honey sprinkled with red walnuts and olive oil. This is served with bread slices. It's hard to describe how delicious and flavorful this dish was with such simple ingredients. We were going to order the steak and chimichurri but were talked into the lamb pops - and we are so glad to have tasted these marvelous lamb chops. They were cooked perfectly. In fact they were so good - we went ahead and ordered the steak too - which was extremely flavorful on its own but served with a fresh house made chimichurri. We also ordered the patatas bravas which were perfectly seasoned and cooked - almost crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside with just a perfect level of heat. We finished the meal with the cinnamon rolls - don't know how they cooked these to perfection so quickly but they were fantastic. Bottom line - how have we not been here before! Most important - we will be back!! Thank you Bauhaus for a great meal and dining experience.

Among our group we ordered the bread basket, cesar salad, mescalun salad, veal scallopini, gnocchi and manicotti. All were fantastic. Even the side vegetables were delicious and not an afterthought. Desserts were excellent. We had lemon creme brulee, zabaglione and a flourless chocolate torte. service was so friendly. It is beautiful inside. The price was great for the quality. We spent about $50 per person. We were dining at an off time, 3:00-4:00 PM on a Tuesday, and the place was fairly empty. Highly recommend.

An overweight waitress with black pulled back hair and heavily applied makeup showed up at our table with obvious contempt written all over her face. From the moment she approached our table, she seemed unhappy to be serving us. Her attitude was curt, uncooperative, and made us feel unwelcome. When I asked simple questions, she reacted as though I was inconveniencing her, responding with visible irritation and a dismissive tone. It became clear she was upset that we chose to sit outdoors. When she returned with our water, she was visibly sweating, flustered and frustrated, and probably worried about her heavily applied makeup running in the heat... so the entire interaction felt strained. If outdoor seating is open and available, customers shouldn't be made to feel guilty or unwelcome for choosing it. It's disappointing, because we actually enjoyed the food. But no matter how good a meal is, I won't return to a place where I'm treated with contempt. This was our first and last visit to Verona Cucina Italiana.

I've driven past and planned to stop in one day; that day was today as I had a little extra time…read moreand wanted to sit and enjoy dinner. The place is attractive but also kind of empty for dinner time on a Tuesday night. The kind of empty that has you wondering if you made a mistake as you're being seated. Actually there were a few cars parked outside and the place is just so big and kind of compartmentalized so maybe I just couldn't see where the patrons were. My order included a beef taco and chile relleno. The taco protein was entirely cold, the hard shell was cold and oily and even without these issues the taco was nothing special. Why even bother serving the most boring office taco bar version of a taco possible. The chile relleno tasted like old oil which meant the neither item was very good. When I left there was maybe 2 cars in the lot which made me realize maybe I came during the evening rush. All those patrons I couldn't see had left before 7:45 pm. Overall, there's no reason for me to go back. Unfortunate.

I don't recommend anybody to come to this restaurant. You been warned…read more This place is very deceiving. Such a brand new restaurant with elegant interior, but the food quality is horrible! This is the worst Mexican restaurant I've been to in my life. The seafood was extremely salty, no flavor and enough to spit out and the soup was very simple bland. They also charge an arm and leg, very expensive. Not worth coming back.

Donoby's - A Soft Spot in the Night…read more I walked into Donoby's tonight while waiting for the crowd across the street at Toriis to thin out, and honestly... I'm glad I did. This bar has an underrated, easygoing pulse that a lot of places try for but can't quite land. No shouting, no chaos, just gentle conversation, light laughter, and that familiar hum of people enjoying being out without needing to prove anything. The bartender, Amy, we actually sang "Broken" by Seether & Amy Lee together at karaoke here a couple weeks ago, pours with care. You can feel when someone takes pride in the small things, a clean pour, a quick smile, a read on the room. She has that. The crowd here tonight is relaxed. Mixed ages, no pressure, no edge. Just people unwinding from the week. It is a place where you can sit with a beer, breathe for a minute, and not feel like the world is tugging at you. Plenty of seating, the lighting is warm, the décor is classic without being stale, pool tables in good shape, and a vibe that makes you want to stay for just one more....because it is comfortable. That is rare. Donoby's isn't loud about who it is. It doesn't need to be. It just is....and that's what keeps a place alive. I'll be back.
