Food is great and service is excellent. Lunch specials are especially wonderful.Several of us ordered and all of the orders were correct.

While traveling to Simi Valley for work, I decided to take a chance on a restaurant I had never heard of, and I had such a wonderful experience. The staff at Presto Pasta were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring every need was met with a smile. Service was impressively quick, and the pasta was fresh and delicious. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience. read more

This is a great fast casual chain which the very tasty food. The service is very friendly and fast. My favorite is eggplant parm and my husband gets the Caesar salad with chicken. We love the chicken piccata with pasta and Alfredo sauce and would order it all the time but it's not on our health-nut plan, LOL. One option is to sub out the pasta and get veggies instead. Great for takeout, and last we ate there (during the pandemic) they had a few tables for outdoor seating so could bring our dog. read more

Pleasant staff. Good value for the money. Will go back again. The pasta was very tasty.

I've been here twice and both times the restaurant was clean and the cashiers were very friendly and so helpful! This time Rylie helped me and she was welcoming and super patient with me while I tried to order my create-your-own pasta for the first time! I asked her a couple of questions to clarify the kind of confusing add ons (like what veggies come with "add veggies"? Carrots, zucchini, broccoli and mushrooms. Which was helpful because I cannot stand mushrooms in pasta! ) Rylie repeated back my order, said it sounded really good in a genuine way, and even handed me my order while she repeated it again and checked the bag in front of me... excellent customer service!!! The crispy artichoke hearts were pretty good but had too much of the leaf for my liking, I loved the marinara red sauce though. The salad was very fresh, plentiful and handed to me outside the bag of other foods, which is super thoughtful as it maintains the quality. The pasta was good. Everything in it was tasty and there was a good amount of everything I ordered... especially the sauce! There was wayyy too much sauce! I actually love extra sauce but this was like a soup. Literally swimming in sauce. It did make it reheat and taste good the next day but I could hardly eat it that night. Overall, I will definitely be back! (I'll just ask for the sauce on the side from now on ;) read more

We have been coming to this Presto Pasta location for a number of years now, and are always pleased with the quality of food, service, and atmosphere while price in spite of recent strong bouts of inflation, continues to be most reasonable for what is a very good Italian quality meal. The Chicken Piccata and Eggplant are especially good authentic Italian dishes which they cook to perfection including modifying requests, for example, light on capers, or light on Alfredo Sauce. The most delightful part of this dining in experience, continues to be the quality of the staff that always makes one feel welcome, while checking in from time to time to make sure everything is pleasing for their guests. Manager, Ashley, here in SImi is a stand out food service professional who genuinely cares about her customers. Thank you for the great food and service! read more

We had the food delivered to us and it was good. Better than Olive Garden but not better than Betos. I was happy I asked for extra Alfredo sauce. Don't waste your money on the garlic bread. read more

Not chain Italian food. Locally sourced food and very high quality dishes. I have gone to Newbury Park and Simi. I am hooked on the Chicken, Shrimp Picicadas and the Parmesan chi is also delicious. It is a wonderful family owned restaurant and they care about the quality and quantity of the plating, Walter is the welcoming Manager at Simi and Nick is the awesome Manager at Newbury Park. Try the variety cheesecake deserts as well as the best frozen lemonade I have ever tasted (organic and not too sweet - just Right). I can't recommend Presto Pasta enough for quality Italian dining, and wonderful hospitality! read more

I have eaten here over 50xs and I have always enjoyed my meal every time and I highly recommend trying the artichoke hearts

On the plus side here you've got a great ambiance and a ton of food for an unbeatable price point. Oh, and friendly staff who can help you get the most for your money. We got all the food in the photo, with tax and tip on top for $38! On the downside is the protein portions. Skimpy amounts of chicken and meat is sparse in the sauce. So if you need actual meat to get full like me, it's hard to get enough protein here. But, they have Merlot and the pasta here is better than Macaroni Grill for $15 less, so when in Simi this is the way to do pasta. read more

Service, quality and value..my big three, and Presto Pasta passes with flying colors. Staff is friendly and very welcoming. The food tastes like mama made it from scratch and the portions are enormous! This is a must for those that enjoy great Italian food, but don't wanna hassle with crowded, fancy and expensive outings. Find a location near you, it's well worth the experience. read more

Brand new for Simi. I've been once or twice before in other places. Food was a great deal but tasted like... Well... Nothing special. But everyone there was way friendly. Clean. New. I hope it stays open. read more

Presto Pasta - By Smart & Final - Italian Near Me - Simi Valley, California

One and a half stars. Disappointing. Beware of the ridiculous, over-embellished 5 star reviews. A Yelp red flag they ain't legit. I tried the Eggplant Parmesan. Mediocre playdoh. Also the sauce is very bland and wasn't extra sauce like described on the menu. Side of meat sauce means spaghetti noodles with no meat nor sauce. Garlic toast was about the size of a saltine cracker and slightly thicker with no flavor. Wife had their Spaghetti, nothing remarkable and pretty much sauceless. We were hoping for an off-the-hook experience but got tasteless chain style food instead. Italian food is the easiest thing in the world to cook delicious and not costly. That theory is lost here. They have no clue what they are doing when their fare tastes worse than out-of-the-can Chef Boy R D. Even Dominos finally woke up and started serving decent sauce and food. We wanted to love Presto Pasta but we won't be back. read more

The food is great but what I want to mention is the customer service. I have noticed customer service seems to be a thing of the past but this is not true at Presto Pasta. The staff is so Friendly and attentive, in fact they are outstanding. read more

They made my food very fast! I made my own pasta and the salad was so good! The food was ready in less than 10 minutes! The cheesecake was delicious as well!! read more

First time here. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is great! Will def come back here again! 10/10

Nothing but deliciousness. This is our go to place for delicious pasta. It's one of my husbands favorites. He loves the Cajun shrimp pasta with penne. I love the chicken picatta. Our son has tried the pizza, spaghetti and meatballs and loved them all. They also have yummy freshly baked cookies. Staff is always quick and attentive. The place is clean and spacious. We've only ordered takeout though and love their order ahead option online. read more

The food and service is always good and the prices are reasonable. The services are generous enough and the facility is always clean.

Good lines of communication. If there is ever a problem, or delay which is rare, they will always tell you. Fair prices for good fast satisfyingly good food. It's a family friendly place so it can get a bit loud but it's a jolly festive place. You can get a bit exited about having a great meal here. 2 Adults can eat well for $25 - $30 including drinks, sides and a tip. Lightning fast take out! Everything is good. P.P. is always a WINNER FOR US! read more

We had a fundraiser last night and it was great. Food was delicious and fresh, prices were great. Service was excellent! Kid friendly, they have a token machine to keep the kiddos entertained and happy! I will definitely go back!!! read more

Big portion sizes and pretty good pasta, esp for that price point. Super casual vibes and clean. The people who work there are super nice!!

Amazing portions and quality, as always! These people know how to do it right. Never a bad meal at any of their shops. Thank you!

The food at Presto Pasta is good especially for the price and they are very consistent. What we like the most is that the food is extremely hot after doing take-out. The only knock is that their online ordering is great on making special requests for items and their pizza is average at best. read more

Food is good. The veggies sadly were saturated in oil. I'm vegan so when I eat here it's just pasta and marinara. It be nice if they could cook the veggies especially the mushrooms in less oil. read more

Been coming here for about a month and everytime we've come in its been great. There is a guy who works here named Walter who always greets us at the door with a smile and the rest of the staff definitely has the same friendly energy. The food here is always good and good portion sizes for the price. Well continue to come back and recommend to many others. read more

Presto Pasta - Wall picture inside - Italian Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Definitely not the worst Italian I've ever had, that was actually at a pretty big chain I will not mention here. The food was okay, even if our salads were big, yet really quite dry and lacking in anything resembling flavor; pretty though they were when delivered. The lasagna was okay, but honestly the stuff from Stauffers tastes a lot better if baked properly. Still the food was served fast and that is the saving grace. Honestly, the garlic bread was the best part of the entire experience, and of course you only get one small piece if that, definitely not enough to help soak up all the watery sauce that came with our lasagna orders. The roving parm folks never hit our table either, they always seemed to pass by when we were busy and never offered us any. All in all it's fast and not TOO bad, not great, just not bad, sort of just centered enough not to get three or more stars or a one star rating. There were tons of kids there and the noise level made any Chilli's seem like a library in comparison. Some parents just need to be 'talked to' for letting their spawn run amok, or screaming for an entire meal without any "discussions" about behavior. All in all I did have a few good laughs at those around us, many questions came to mind, but then I digress. read more

I thought this place was really fantastic! It's clean, modern and has spacious seating. Parking is easy as they are located right inside the parking lot of a large strip mall. The food is very reasonably priced and everybody working there was friendly and courteous. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you when it is ready, so no tipping is necessary. I had the Pasta Combo, which was spaghetti with meatsauce and a meatball, salad, garlic bread and a drink. All this for only $10.50! Finally, they also have a Coke Freestyle machine. This, in of itself, is worth going there for! read more

So glad they've opened a location in Simi Valley. This one is more convenient to me on a daily basis. I love Presto's menu - especially the Cajun Chicken Pasta. And their garlic knots are to die for! Great service at this location and I will definitely be back. read more

Update: The owner took my address and said he'd send free meal certificates, that was WEEKS ago, have still received NOTHING. Came to pick up our order, all the way inside, then was told they're closed. No way, we were on time, never eat here. Owner contacted me claiming falsely that the manager said closed unless picking up, we WERE picking up and said so, the manager only barked out We're Closed. Again, don't eat here. read more

Very tasteless good unfortunately. I've ordered them 3x, tasted the same each time. Bland. Meat sauce is watery as well. Oil and garlic pasta is basically just just garlic and a lot of garlic :( I'm honestly confused why people find them good. Service was ok, they weren't late with order. Just very bland food. read more

Presto Pasta - Uncooked dough inside garlic knots - Italian Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Well, we all know now that Dunkin Donuts is not coming here in this spot, its a Presto Pasta Its nice to have alternative choice of something different than a burger joint. Simi has to many. They had a soft opening yesterday and driving by I could see that they were very busy. Always a good sign to see that. So I went today for dinner. To my surprise the interior much better than the Granada hills location. I liked the colors and most of all the layout of the interior. Very contemporary. Seats about 61 inside and about maybe 25. I ordered spaghetti and meatball,and enjoyed it very much. I was impressed with the taste that I enjoyed from their Granada Hills location, so it's great that back of the house is following the recipe,same taste and most of all quality. Great Job. So to the kitchen staff,stay consist and most of all don't cut any corners. Follow procedures. During my visit tonight all the employees had smiles and were very attentive to all their customers needs. Remember smile's are free,but sends a everlasting moment. As a customer, All I ask is that you stay consistent on Quality,cleaningness and most of all service and you will continue to earn my business. 13/100 Yelp Challenge.(2018) Welcome to Simi Valley. read more

This place is so good! The price is right, the service is great and they seem to have everything under control with how the run the place (being so new). You get a lot for your money. The chicken piccata was great. They even have cheese cake factory cheesecake! **The one downside is the one soda machine that is touch screen.. it builds a line quickly. read more

Venus was absolutely amazing and so kind to us! We came in with a party of about 40 people and the staff were eager to serve our team efficiently and kindly. The pasta, salad and garlic knots were delicious. I would 10/10 recommend coming to visit this place if you are looking for quick service and a good meal. read more

I'm very disappointed in the customer service I just experienced. Sat there waiting for my to go order. Asked the young girl how I would know when my order was ready she just said they would call me name. I waited and waited no one made eye contact with me. Overall waited 30 mins. They had my order on the counter, no one called my number or my name definitely felt discriminated on. read more

Friendly and courteous staff and absolutely delicious and consistent food. The soda selection machine is always a favorite.

I was so hesitant to try what looked like "fast food pasta"... but we finally did and it was great! I had the chicken Parmesan, husband had the Cajun chicken pasta... both were delicious. Portions are fairly large. Pasta could be a little more al dente, but we also ordered delivery so that's to be expected I think. Overall a great dinner for a fair price. read more

Pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food here was. Usually, I would expect a restaurant as this to have just a mediocre experience. However, I was wrong. And grateful I was. I might come here over CPK and/or Macaroni Grill. And, it's nice to walk up and order and just seat ourselves. Thankful we have a new restaurant that is not a fast food or burger joint. A server brings the food to you and also offers freshly grated Parmesan Cheese. Take away/to-go boxes are available. If coming with a large group at a busy meal time, probably best to go early and grab seats as most seats are for 2-4 people. There is a larger booth that can maybe fit 6. And in the middle of the restaurant there are tables can possibly be moved- but not sure. We ordered: Chicken Marsala and Shrimp Scampi- both come with fettuccine with a cream/alfredo sauce. We also ordered a Greek Salad and Spaghetti with nest sauce and meatballs. All pasta dishes came with a slice of garlic bread. Oh, you can customize your order from type of pasta, sauce, and other ingredients. The chicken was tender and moist- usually it can be dry. I can taste the wine in the Marsala sauce- maybe it could have been reduced a little bit more but the flavor was great. And, the amount of mushrooms and sauce was perfect. It tasted well with the fettuccine. The shrimp scampi looked o.k. I don't remember the taste but I don't think I would order that one. Two young kids shared the spaghetti and it was very flavorful. I don't think we needed to add the meatballs as there was plenty of meat in the sauce but it was good, so I'm glad we did for this trip. The Greek salad was fresh and good. I liked how hot and fresh the food came out and felt like we were eating a home cooked meal. We would return. The amount of food was good for me. The reason for the 4 stars is because there were little things that could be improved but I'm sure it will because it has only been open for a short time. read more
