Really good food. Nice atmosphere. Surprising inside considering how it looks from the street.

Really disappointing. I ordered just 2 things. Chicken parm and bread pudding. The bread pudding did not even make it all the way to mediocre. Usually you get a fluffy square of moist pudding about 2 inches thick with a nice sauce. This was barely a half inch thick, with very little flavor or texture. The sauce was like half a shot of cheap whisky with a little powdered sugar mixed in. It was truly dreadful. Onto the chicken parm: again truly awful. Instead of the usual piece of chicken breast cutlet, this was a chicken thigh. You can actually get away with a a thigh if you pound the crap out of it with a meat tenderizing mallet, but they didn't bother, it was just a stringy thigh. I ate my way about halfway through, then gave up. It was just too much work. The flavor and preparation of the dish itself was decent, so if they had just spent about another 20¢ on the meat, it might have been good. The spaghetti had a decent red sauce. I won't be trying this again. read more

Super friendly & helpful staff, the food is absolutely delicious (ordered the seafood linguine with spicy marinara & the pepperoni and sausage calzone) everything was perfectly cooked and the focaccia was heaven! It's a little pricey, but worth every single penny. I'm looking forward to exploring everything on their menu! read more

Underwhelming- over priced- unimpressed. The food does not look like the photos at all. Did not taste homemade or special. We had lasagne, chicken Alfredo, chicken pesto and calzone. It was $86!! There were maybe 6 tiny pieces of chicken. Will not go back. Bella Italia to-go is WAY better. Big mistake. The bread was the only winner in this meal read more

Just tried this place for the first time yesterday and fell in love with the food. Wow!! It reminded me of our restaurant we used to own.

My family had a wonderful meal. We had a party of 9 and they accommodated us with no problems. We made reservations if course since it was a Friday night. The staff was friendly and attentive and fun!! Food was fresh and delicious...we will definitely be coming back and I will spread the word about this little gem on Coffee Rd. read more

The food was really disappointing. We had a party of 6 and everyone was unsatisfied with their meal. I had the salmon pasta the the salmon was fishy and tasted old. My friend had chicken fettuccine and the chicken was freezer burned and had that off chicken taste. I will say that the service was really good. The wait staff was so kind and gave us two free dishes which was so great. I wish that service matched the food...but it didn't. There is another Pasta Pronto on H street in Modesto but this was a different restaurant entirely. The menu was different the quality was bad. read more

As a former Italian restaurant owner/chef I feel I know a little about Italian cuisine. First time at this small but cozy neighborhood place (takeout only in these covid times)) and I couldn't be more pleased. The eggplant in the eggplant parmesan was firm, not mushy as is so often the case, and served on a bed of tasty and al dente spaghetti marinara. The shrimp puttanesca featured an equally al dente fettuccine with a red wine sauce with capers and kalamata olives. Delicious and boldly spicy. I would have been proud to serve this sauce in either of my two Italian restaurants. Some former reviews i saw were not all complimentary. Maybe there's been some changes, I don't know. But all I can say is right now today, I'm impressed and hoping they're around for a long while. Looking forward to sampling more of their menu. In addition, their covid protocol is very good, an added and appreciated plus. read more

Walked into this place knowing it was going to be good. Really quality Italian food once of the best I've ever had...clean and nice scenery great customer service! read more

Still the best food in town. Everything is made to order and is absolutely delicious every time. And, oh, the hot bread is to die for. Either restaurant is excellent. And, I love the family that has worked so hard to make these places so great. read more

Best Italian food in Modesto! I had the Grigliata Di Polenta from the appetizer menu and a house salad. It was molto delizioso! It's grilled polenta with wild mushroom & white wine cream sauce topped with Gorgonzola cheese and roasted almonds. Unfortunately they forgot the roasted almonds and I forgot they were supposed to be on the top. It didn't make a difference, it was the best thing I've eaten in a long time. Our waiter was wonderfully attentive and very cute too. The bread was also very yummy! read more

The food was great. I like the atmosphere. Feels good. Let's me air it out if you know what I mean. It's a family joint. Good food. People keep to themselves. It's perfect for us. read more

I had Pesto Chicken Pasta - 4 stars. I liked the fresh baked bread & Parm flakes they sprinkle on top of your pasta. My wife had the Seafood Pasta dish, we didn't really like that dish. It had extremely salty olives that were inedible and capers that really overpowered the delicate seafood - 3 stars. Overall, some good, some bad but we will be back to try other menu items. read more

I liked this restaurant a lot .I wished dinner came with a green salad . My meal was yummy .Service was good Sergio was friendly. About 13.99 $ for a pasta dish no salad :-( read more

Excellent service, quaint yet elegant establishment with live roses on the tables. Iced tea had a peach/mango flavor to it that was a refreshing surprise. Food was priced right for the quality and portion size. Sauce was hot a tasted authentically homemade and sausage had just the right amount of spice to it. I'll be back read more

Some of the best cioppino in the valley. They are so accomodating to make your just the way you like it!

Today was my first time here, I can confidently say it will not be my last. It's the best Italian food I've had in the valley. The food reminds me of what my Italian grandfather cooked. The shrimp scampette is a must have appetizer, I want that sauce on everything. read more

Was definitely yummy. Got the seafood linguine with Alfredo. Kiddo enjoyed hers and so did hubs. Bit pricey and I was sad they didn't have many drink choices but it was good. read more

One of our favorite places in Modesto! Consistently delicious and super great service! Love this place!!

We used Pasta Pronto for our Spaghetti dinner and silent Auction which was catered. They delivered our pasta n bread. The Spaghetti was so good we had no complaints from the crowd of 85 seniors that can be picky. Not this bunch they loved it and with that we definitely recommend them. read more

loved this place!! was looking forward to a night out with my boyfriend and thought this is the perfect place!! unfortunately this visit I found my chicken to be hard and chewy and our waitress never came to check on us! so disappointing. I was not compensated at all and I over heard the kitchen staff talking about me :( too bad, they normally have really delicious food read more

I'm not easily amused and it takes a lot to impress me I was definately impressed. I didn't know what to expect but when I got there it was really damn good read more

Great food. Reasonable prices. Small place, so I would recommend getting a reservation.

Can't go wrong skip the Olive Garden and strings they have nothing on this place. Food is amazing.

Went in to Pasta Pronto today for lunch and it was the best. Food was delicious and Cindy was very attentive. I will definitely be back again!!! read more

What a hidden gem! I didnt know this restaurant was here until a family member suggested it. The food was fabulous! It reminded me more of "home made" italian food...as opposed to Olive Garden. I went for lunch on a week day for a family birthday. The food and service was excellent! read more

What can I say. Linguini seafood. Sooooo tasty. Even though don't sell the wine I wanted by the glass they opened up a bottle for me. My wife had the Mona Lisa something and it was incredible also. Definitely come back read more

Amazing food and great service!!! I had shrimp Alfredo and a salad it was delicious! Highly recommended this place!

Had their pollo Alfredo and my husband their combination calzone. My husband always enjoys the calzone and I their Alfredo because of its rich, creamy sauce. Gave 4 stars because we tried their new mozzarella cheese sticks for appetizer and although the cheese sticks were decent, the ranch to dip them in was too tangy and clearly out of a Hidden Valley ranch bottle. The service is always great. read more

Awesome food. Comforting. Delicious. Fresh. Creamy. Just how I like my pasta. Portion size was just right I ate my whole plate but I did kinda stuff myself because it was so good. The service was also good. They came right away with water and bread without having to ask for it. Food came pretty fast too. The waiter kept up with us and even plated our to go box. The price is very affordable and in my opinion worth paying for good quality. Bomb.com read more

Pastas Pronto - Farfalle gratinate - Italian Near Me - Modesto, California

Excellent tasting Italian food! The server was super friendly and fast. The atmosphere is nice and romantic...an absolute must when we are in town again; definitely much better than Olive Garden in my humble opinion! read more

This was one of my favs. Took my husband there for his birthday. Totally disappointed. Service was terrible food was over cooked. They said there was new owners. The old owners need to get their name back because this place is gonna Hurt the other restaurant. Makes me sad. I would never recommend them to anyone. Only the Coffee Rd location. Not the original owners. read more

Its good but I have had better. I particularly think another restaurant which will go unnamed that is also resides in Modesto is superior to the food in this restaurant. read more

The best original italian food in the area. Small restraunt one in the hood another location on coffee road. Great servers and staff.

Very good food and service! Small place not in the best center but good food. Best crab cake ever had!!!

We were recommended this place by a good friend. My boyfriend and I took his parents. It was all of our first time there. The place is small and quaint. The servers are friendly. The food comes fast. The wine selection is good and not overwhelming with too many fancy wines. We ordered an appetizer that was prompt on arrival. I ordered the salmon with bow tie pasta and an orange sauce that was amazing. The other entries ordered was pesto pasta, shrimp scampi, and pollo del parma. Everyone was extremely impressed with their meals and the sauces. They offer shaved parmasean to top your plates. INCREDIBLE! My boyfriend's dad is rarely impressed with most restaurants but he was enamored with the culinary prowess. By far the best restaurant in Modesto. We will be returning. Although Olive Garden is pretty good, I debut we will be going there anymore. The prices here are either equal or better! Can't wait for our next visit! read more

This is a good option in the Modesto area- serves good food, variety of dishes, within reasonable prices. My experiences have been awesome here. Our server Cindy the last 3 visits is a dream! So attentive and always seats us straight away. I come here ever chace I get. Defiantly a family favorite. Also, they are very child friendly! read more

This place is literally some of the best Italian food I've ever tasted in modesto, way better than Olive Garden !!their pasta is freshly made and not frozen like a lot of restaurants. The staff makes you feel very welcomed. 5 stars for sure ! :) read more

We did make reservations on Valentine's Day and we still had to wait which was a little bothersome however they made up for it by offering us dessert on the house! I ordered the shrimp ravioli and it was amazing!! Well worth the wait. I will definitely be going back there! The bread was even amazing!! Great place great food great people!! read more

Outstanding service and food! They have your interest in mind from when walk in till you finish. Wonderful local mom and pop shop!
