    Complimentary bread and oil
    Ray N.

    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)

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

Looking at the exterior, we could only guess what was coming. Walking in just after opening gave us opportunity to marvel over the beautifully appointed interior without bothering yet to arrive lunch customers. After perusing the menu, which we had somewhat studied pre decision to dine here, our waiter Matteo filled in item by item our understanding of the many menu options. With his help and suggestions we four decided to share two "starters" - the whipped feta - half classic and half smoky. Both were delicious! We chose the 4 piece Bruschetta with a suggested cheese added. It too rang the delicious bell. We picked paninis for our main course: Flank steak, French dip and Prosciutto & Fig Jam. Each would be served with a side salad - either Spinach or Spring. We all chose Spinach. The sandwiches were full of the components as described. My wife's Prosciutto & Fig Jam had prosciutto from end to end countering a review to the contrary I had read. The other paninis were likewise filled. The Spinach side salads were loaded with walnuts and cranberries. The amount of feta was adequate. the total amount of salad was more than I expected. My wife ordered a dessert to go, and just reported to me that was superb. We had to forgo any wine with lunch as we had miles to drive home afterward. But I await the day we can spend the night in town and enjoy some selections of their impressive wine stock and not have to drive home. A Friday evening comes to mind. It must happen so we can try out more items of their well chosen fare. A couple of the pokes look scrumptious and a few more of the paninis await my gastric juices. We were pleasantly surprised by Damon bringing us a complimentary Chocolate Panini served with house made whipped zcream (who even serves that these days?) He said that we HAD to try his #1 selling item from the whole menu before we left. We tasted, and learned why it had reached that status. Good in appearance. Perfect in creation, Superb in taste. Kudos by the bucketful to Damon, Matteo, and the rest of the staff who helped this Birthday Bash be warm & fuzzy and highly enjoyed. If you haven't yet. I suggest you put Camp 4 on your high priority list and enjoy the experience as I'm sure you will. We sure did!

We got there right when they were opening I think. I love the decor. It's warm and classy. We got a booth (always get the booth Fellas).

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.

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.
