    Fast service, friendly service, good food. I can't complain about any of that. The food tasted great, the broccoli tastes fresh, the pasta tastes delicious, & I would definitely come back here again.

    Presto Pasta is a nice place to get a quick family meal that is on the healthier side. The staff here is always very friendly and helpful. The food is fine, it lacks seasoning. But it's good enough and my kids like it. The best values are the kid's meals and the lunch specials. Oh and don't forget the garlic knots. They are so delicious!

    came here for the first time!! it was pretty good. i had the personal pesto chicken pizza and the chicken picatta, both of which came out pretty fast and tasted good! was pleasantly surprised to see actual pine nuts in the pesto :) something that stood out to me is that the employees genuinely looked happy. i hope the management treats them well here bc i know how soul sucking food service can be. they also could just might be very good at acting like it but i sincerely hope it's the first.

    Got great service with friendly demeanor. Love that they are very considerate here. Ambiance is family so there may be small fussy children sometimes. Pick your table for your most appropriate atmosphere that you want. They have outdoor seating if you brought your dog. That's nice. Food had flavor and I appreciate the generous toppings. Kinda wish they heaped the pasta on a bit more since pasta is really not the most expensive item in general. Parking is satisfactory for the space they have. They also serve wine and beer and have Cheesecake Factory desserts for $6.. smaller than the restaurant of course. I really like coming here when I feel like pasta but don't want a full sit down experience,

    Solid pasta place! it's a great go to of ours for awhile. PARKING: Located in the same shopping plaza as homegoods, tj maxx area SERVICE: customer service is always friendly & fast when we come in. they are very professional & the turnaround time from ordering to receiving our meals is quick. FOOD: pasta has been consistently delicious & flavorful - our favorite is the chicken cajun fettuccine pasta that comes with garlic bread.

    Kids Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce

    Rounding up from 4.5 stars to 5 because I'm still a fan on this concept of fast casual Italian food in a pleasant environment with friendly staff. We used to come here more often when our grandson was in high school nearby. Got to love Italian food to feed a growing boy! Now he's off at college, and we're taking his little sister around to some of our favorite haunts from the past. After picking her up from school yesterday, Dear Hubby and I were both hungry and ready to eat. She said that she'd had a snack and wasn't ready for dinner, but by the time we ordered and got settled, she didn't have trouble tucking into a plate of spaghetti with marinara sauce. Inexplicably, she's not (yet) a fan of garlic bread, so more for DH and me! I used to love their Chicken Piccata and Fettuccine Alfredo, before I had to give up on dairy cheese, milk, cream, etc. Now it's red sauces for me, so I went for the spaghetti with meat sauce. It was delicious, especially with the garlic bread to help soak up the sauce. We had a relaxing time enjoying our meal together. The restaurant dining room was empty when we first got there about 5:00. By the time we were ready for our cookies for dessert, the place was filling up with hungry families. Even though they don't offer full table service, their staff members were circulating through the dining room, picking up plates as they were finished. They also still come around with fresh Parmesan cheese to grate for you at the tables. It's a nice touch. The only thing I didn't fully love was the Greek salad as a side option. It was missing something, and I can't quite put my finger on it. The lettuce was fresh, and kalamata olives added a savory taste. More tomatoes would have helped, and a lighter dressing. I ended up bringing half home and we can dress it up ourselves with more cherry tomatoes. I also brought half of the pasta home, so my dinner tonight is set!

    The food here is amazing, there's this particular worker her name is Alina. She works in the front. She's amazing and no matter what she's doing. Same thing with the cook in the back I believe his name is Josue. As soon as I walk into the doors, one of the other managers, Jonathan and Tammy are super helpful and helping me choose what's best for my diet. I love coming here. It's just about every other day for lunch or even just as an outing for my family and I. It seems like everyone here genuinely cares.

    Update! Garlic bread had a hair on it!

    Ordered an entree for pick up, got home and it was the completely wrong sauce and didn't have the chicken I was charged for. Called to complain demanding a refund. The local customer service rep said it was store only offered vouchers and he could not even guarantee it would be for the full value of the dish. Why would I want to go back to a place with such poor attention to detail and customer service? Very upset! Demanded a refund which is pending. Will update upon receipt. Found a hair on bread after complaint!

    This is their $4 brownie! Should have gone to Ralph's instead.

    Food is still mediocre, but the offspring likes the pasta. He brought this home for me since I have a weakness for chocolate.

    So, went in on Memorial Day and Marcus & Bella were AWESOME!! You're lucky to have such GREAT employees!! THANX Pesto Pasta!! UPDATE: Was so happy, got home and the whole container fell on the floor and my shoe!! Only got ONE bite! It was my 65th birthday reward, so I hope that isn't a bad sign for the rest of the year!!! At least I had a good experience while I was there, and I did get to eat the Mango Key Lime cheesecake and OMG was that DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx again for the great service! I'll have to rate the food another time :)

The restaurant interior is cozy, clean, and elegant. Our server, Eddie (I believe!), provided excellent, attentive service while we waited.

We learned the restaurant has been in business at this location for around 35 years, and it really shows--the owners clearly know what they're doing. I didn't get a chance to check out the dining room experience fully or use the restroom since I was on a tight schedule, but I will definitely be back when I have more time to sit down and enjoy a proper meal. Highly recommended!

    Yesterday morning (October 3rd, Saturday) I dropped my car off at a Hyundai dealership. When…read morelunchtime rolled around, I went to an Italian restaurant about a 4-minute drive away to grab lunch with my mom and one of my brothers. However, two of my brothers had to participate in a parade for a Korean festival in LA that afternoon, marching with the Korean flag (Taegeukgi). My mom absolutely had to be there to take photos and videos of them (I did it last year, but she decided to do it this year). Since my mom had gone to the dealership with me, my brother came to pick her up. Because they were so pressed for time to prepare and get to the event, there was no time we could sit and eat at the restaurant, so we ultimately decided to get our food to go. First, my mom said she only wanted some clam chowder (she decided this after the waiter listed the soups of the day and the menu). So, we ordered that for her to eat at the restaurant and asked the waiter to pack the rest of our food to go. Our waiter's name was Eddie, and he was unbelievably kind. From the moment we walked in until we left, he was incredibly friendly. My mom said the clam chowder was the absolute best she had ever had, which made me really happy to hear. After that, I ordered the Chicken Piccata to go, and my brother got a Chicken Panini. (Before ordering, I asked if the Chicken Piccata would take long; he said it would be quick, so I went with my favorite.) While we were waiting for the food, the waiter came over to our table again to let us know that the kitchen knew we were short on time and they were working really hard to get it out fast. My brother then asked how long the restaurant had been around. The waiter replied that it had been open for 35 years and had changed ownership three times, adding that people say the current, third owner is doing the best job so far. By the time I came back from the restroom, our to-go food was ready. But when we got to the car, I noticed that both of the piping-hot dishes were packed in one large bag. I went back inside to ask for an extra bag, and Eddie very graciously and quickly handed me one. He was just the kind of person who makes you feel good. He truly understands what proper customer service is, and I really want to give him a big shout-out. Also, when he first brought the bill, there was a $1.45 credit card surcharge included. I asked if he could remove it if I paid with a debit card, and he happily agreed. I handed him my debit card, asked him to take off the fee, and he brought the updated receipt right back. The atmosphere of this restaurant is great, the service is incredibly kind, and the food is delicious. It's definitely a place I want to visit again whenever I have the chance and the time. I took my to-go Chicken Piccata back to the dealership and ate it at a table there. My brother and mom ate in the car on their way to the event, so I didn't have time to take a picture of the panini.

We were on the fence if we should leave or not because it looked like they were having an important, impromptu meeting because you can see mostly everyone wearing a denim shirt in the kitchen corner. The timing for someone to ask if we wanted drinks or had questions of the menu was off putting. Once we finally had service, the food came promptly and it was delicious but it took awhile for our drinks to come because we had already finished our apps and halfway through our entrees. I have always enjoyed their happy hours here and the hours are: M-F 3-6PM, at the bar and high bar top tables. I like their garlic soup extra hot, the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta with Italian sausage, squid ink pasta with calamari and shrimp, and I don't remember which one I liked more or if I like both as well: the bolognese or the braised short rib. I'm sure you cannot go wrong trying both though. I also enjoy coming for their DineLA, so this one experience is probably just a one off.

Unfortunately, after that, the service was basically nonexistent. We sat at our table for about 20 minutes and not a single server came over to greet us, take a drink order, or even acknowledge that we were there. What made it even more frustrating was that the restaurant was extremely slow. There were literally only about three occupied tables and a couple of people sitting at the bar, so it wasn't as if they were overwhelmed with a dinner rush. After waiting long enough with zero acknowledgment, we finally decided to just get up and leave. I've eaten at North Italia before and the food has always been great, which is why this was especially disappointing. But no matter how good the food is, one really poor service experience is all it takes ruin your impression of a restaurant and make a customer not come back. Hopefully management takes situations like this seriously, because simply acknowledging and having a server to just come greet your guests should be the bare minimum.
