For the past several weeks, we have been coming to this establishment as much for the incredible staff as we do for the delicious food. Beatriz, Tammy and John make each visit memorable because they are so warm and welcoming to us and our little puppy. Yes, we sit outdoors on their lovely patio and they frequently come over to make sure we have everything we need. I love their Caesar salad (the dressing is perfect) and I usually pair it with the Chicken Piccata which comes with a creamy Alfredo sauce and topped with capers. You can substitute any pasta you wish. My wife has a gluten allergy but that only makes our visits more special because they serve fusilli which is a gluten free pasta. We can't get over how wonderful this staff is. They seem to enjoy their jobs and it certainly shows. We love the atmosphere and enjoy the nostalgic music featuring Dean, Ella, Darin, Sinatra and others of that special era. It really sets the mood to enjoy an Al Fresco meal. Thank you Beatriz, Tammy and John for making the start of our weekends so pleasant. read more

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! read more

Presto Pasta - Italian Near Me - Granada Hills, California

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, read more

We had a good experience here at Presto Pasta for my granddaughter's 4th bday. Food is good. Service is exemplary. Ambiance is kid friendly. We'd love to come back for another birthday celebration here. Shout out to Jonathan for taking our huge orders. He's very professional and most accommodating. read more

I continue to be a fan of this place. The most important thing is that they appear to have gone back to the original style of garlic knots which were far superior to what they were serving the previous few visits. Their pasta dishes are very tasty and you can build your own pasta bowls and the price is very reasonable for this senior citizen. Service is very nice and the place is always clean. The parking situation is awful, though I still recommend them and I will keep coming back read more

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. read more

Presto Pasta - Chicken Cajun fettuccini - Italian Near Me - Granada Hills, California

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! read more

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. read more

John was very helpful when taking our order , and the to go order for our two items was only a 7 min wait ! Which is incredibly fast for a restaurant in my opinion. They have a My mother had the Chicken Piccata lunch special, and I had the Eggplant Parmigiana. She really enjoyed hers, however for me... my order felt like it needed more flavor so I give it a 3/5. Over all a great place for Italian food. read more

I love Presto Pasta! Anywhere and everywhere. I tried the shrimp scampi at this location and it was delicious. Always a great value at this restaurant. good customer service and location is nice, situated in an outdoor shopping center with plenty of parking. read more

Got home, opened it up looked like the food was out of the pan and a few pieces of shrimp on top that wasn't even coated in any kind of sauce totally disappointed. I've been there before I don't know who did it. My 10-year-old could make better than this and then on top of that to give you one piece of bread for two orders and they forgot my garlic bread and . The knots won't be returning. read more

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! read more

Presto Pasta - Dropped my dinner on my shoe!!! :( - Italian Near Me - Granada Hills, California

I had super low expectations of this place. Knowing nothing about them. First time here. Honestly, first impression. I was blown away. Service was absolutely Immaculate. My cashier was Tess. Just the most polite and warm greeting I never expected. Menu is digital and so easy to read. I had the pasta Combo. Comes with one pasta dish, salad and fountain drink. My whole order was just over $17. Excellent Pricing. The food was brought to my table in less than 10 minutes. They have a nice fountain drink machine. They even had nice aluminum take home plates. Seating was vast for single diners, small groups and larger groups. They also had ample outdoor seating. I was approached twice by two different employees asking if I needed anything at my table. My server even grated fresh cheese for my salad and meal. I'll say it again. The Service here is A+++Immaculate. I haven't received service like this in awhile. I signed up for their Loyalty Rewards. I'm definitely coming back. Definitely Recommend Them. Food was Amazing. read more

My parents and I tried this place for the first time about two weeks ago. The cashier was very friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good. We were all pretty disappointed -- my mom didn't even finish her shrimp scampi because she felt the shrimp wasn't fully cooked. Both of our pasta dishes tasted watered down and lacked flavor. read more

This is regarding my order on 12/6/2025. When we received our order from Presto Pasta Granada Hills, it wasn't until we were home that we realized  1. There was no chicken in the carbonara  2. We received one chicken Cajun and one SHRIMP cajun.  I contacted the store and requested a refund, they offered me a $5 credit, I said no thank you I'd prefer a refund. The supervisor on the phone told me she was going to pass my info to the store owners so they could reach out to issue a refund. THIS. NEVER. HAPPENED. It has now been over a month! This is horrible service! read more

Presto Pasta in Granada Hills never disappoints! I especially love their cheese ravioli -- perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious every single time. Pairing it with a side of Caesar salad is my go-to combo, and it always hits the spot. The staff here is consistently kind, attentive, and welcoming, which makes every visit even more enjoyable. Great food, great service -- what more could you ask for? Highly recommend! read more

Pasta was dry even though it had Alfredo sauce, no taste. Most likely won't go back anytime soon.

Been a regular customer of Presto for years and experience is consistent. My daughter and I would come here to eat in or take out on weekends this is her favorite pasta place. Today we came in for a take out and as always, staff are friendly, service is great and pleasant. Until... we arrived home and my daughter was signing to me (she's non verbal) that she can't find the "cookie". Well technically, it was a brownie . I called the store and the manager for the day was very friendly and sincerely apologetic for the missed. I mentioned to him that if possible the next time we come back, if we can have the brownie then. He took our info for the next time we come back at the store we can get a brownie. He was really pleasant to speak to very friendly and accommodating. Food as always is delish, my daughter took a liking of having breaded chicken with her fettuccine Alfredo and she loves it . The establishment is well maintained, staff are very attentive to the cleanliness of the seats and tables inside and outside of the restaurant. This is our no.1 go to for pasta the serving and price are great. Thank you for the great service and the yummy dishes!! read more

My first time trying this place and it was so good! Can't believe I haven't ever tried this place considering I always shop at this plaza. The service was quick and they offer fresh Parmesan to add to your entree once they bring it! The pasta is so fresh! I always make my own because I want to be able to try everything one day. I got penne pasta, with veggies, and the Alfredo/marinara sauce. They have a variety of drinks since they have that soda machine. The place is clean and not too loud. The set up at the table is cute because they have little flowers. Their garlic bread is so good! I would recommended ordering extra. The togo containers are located by the soda on the right. They also have a reward system so make sure to sign up! read more

This place is really nice. It's clean, the food is a great value, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Great place to take your family.

A solid and cost effective option if you are craving some pasta! I like the pasta combinations you can make on your own. A common take out option for our family as the kids really enjoy it. Friendly staff and fast service. read more

In today's economy, Presto has affordable menu options that are great for families or groups. Lots of pasta options - recommend!

Was in the area Monday evening around 7pm and was craving some pasta. Found this place on Yelp and decided to head on over. It was pretty empty upon entering, but had a small mini dinner rush shortly after. I was impressed with how fast my food came out after just having ordered it. This does give me a fast food pasta feel, since my food was out within 10 minutes after ordering, but I appreciate it. Here's the thing, I love cooking pasta. Not tooting my horn, but the flavor is really lacking compared to homemade recipes I've spiced up in my own kitchen. What I'm saying is, the sauces tasted as if they came out of a jar, warmed up, and tossed in with the pasta - so if you are a pasta fanatic of some sort - best not get your hopes up! I would say, do not order anything with shrimp because the shrimp was previously frozen 100%. I ordered the shrimp scampi and right from the look of it, I knew it wasn't fresh. The chicken Cajun penne was pretty good. I would say 7/10. It was spicy and had a lot of chicken and peppers. The price is immaculate. SO AFFORDABLE. Overall, yes I would come back because I understand what I'm paying for. I think I'll try the spaghetti and meatballs next! read more

We ordered pick up for lunch. Chicken piccata was bland and rubbery. Also ordered garlic knots. To our surprise, I took a bite of one of the garlic knots and I noticed there's a blue material imbedded in it. Lost our appetite at that point and was sick to my stomach. How do you not notice that part of your glove is missing! It's very bad! Needless to say, we will not be going back there. We called the restaurant and spoke to their GM and all he can say was "It happens sometimes". I can't believe he said that! read more

I think for a quick food experience Presto Pasta is doing a great job. I say quick food instead of fast food because they take the time to make quality food quickly but without the dining room experience. The employees were friendly, there was plenty of seating and I loved how the decorations made it feel like I was in an Italians home. The food was delicious and fairly priced. They also give a military discount which I love. I got the Fettuccine Alfredo and would definitely get it again! read more

This place is a such a gem! Service was great thanks to Sam, who took my phone order and had it ready to go for me when I got there! We did a variety of different build your own. My favorite was probably the cheese tortellini. Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT, forget the garlic knots! Such a great addition to any pasta you get. So many different offerings, it's hard to pick just one! I will definitely be back, the craving for this will kick in soon enough. read more

I ordered food for my family here for the first time & I am very impressed ! I usually visit here due to DoorDash which is what brought me in . The restaurant is always immaculate ! Super clean , always smells incredible & the staff is always super friendly & welcoming . Even as a dasher , they update me & are always on top of everything & always secure their bags for the customers . So I ordered some Cajun shrimp pasta which was absolutely incredible ! Their garlic bread was also amazing ! I did order two fettucini Alfredo , one with shrimp & one without . Now , it was simple like fettucini should be & my kids absolutely loved it . They're little & picky & even showered then came back asking for more . Definitely recommend checking this place out . read more

When I don't feel like cooking Presto Pasta is a place I go for some comfort food. I always get the spaghetti and meatballs. Flavor is great and always consistent. I have tried a few other items on the menu however I always tend to go back to spaghetti and meatballs. Prices have gone up a little bit. I generally do not order a combo I go right for the entrée and I will get extra pasta and forgo a side salad and soda. I decided to reward myself after a hard day at work with a delicious piece of cheesecake that they sell from The Cheesecake Factory. They offer four flavors:bananas Foster, plain cheesecake, Oreo cookie and white chocolate raspberry. One decent slice for the price of $5.50. The only thing odd about my slice was the outside of my container smelled a bit onions so perhaps it was close to some in the refrigerator. The cheesecake was delicious so no damage done there. This is very close to my house and very convenient. The staff is always very friendly and the restaurant itself is always very clean. Good place for eating alone or meeting a friend or even bringing the family. Seating can be difficult for groups bigger than four just keep that in mind when you want to go out as a family. read more

Great place for an Italian fix! Love their specialty dishes but also very cool that you can "build your own pasta dish. My personal favorite is the chicken piccata. They have plenty of seating, highly recommend sitting in their patio on those nice sunny days. Staff is always friendly and ready to help as soon as you walk in. They also do catering which we recently tried and it was great! Very affordable and portions were perfect. read more

So I haven't ordered from here for a long time and I decided I was going to order my normal angel hair pasta with butter and what is a parmesan sauce and a salad. I asked for utensils, which it came with utensils. However, it came with 0 parmesan to put on It 0. How do you eat pasta without Parmesan, no like do I have to remind them I mean, I didn't even think to remind them because I don't. I haven't ordered from here for a while. So I have pasta with no parmesan on it. And i'm not gonna drive all the way up there to get parmesan read more

Been here a bunch of times years ago but haven't been in a hot minute. My bf has never been so we decided to come out and have lunch here! I wasn't sure what to get since we recently had other Italian dishes over the week. I usually get the shrimp scampi but ended up with the fettuccine chicken Alfredo combo with Caesar salad and he built his own tortellini pasta. We placed our order and waited a bit. We got our meal and took it home to enjoy while watching a show. I'm not sure but maybe I'm just over fettuccini or wasn't feeling that type of noodles but it ended up just being okay for me. He enjoyed his and I also loved the garlic bread! Not sure why but they gave us like 4 slices but it tasted amazing. Still love this place and looking forward to coming back to try something else. Maybe a pesto since I haven't had theirs before! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Found this amazing pasta spot and I LOVED IT!! Prices are super affordable ranging from $12-$15 and good portions. I would say tastes almost the same or even better than many other places at a much cheaper price. This place is possibly my favorite "Italian" place now! Presto Pasta has a fast food restaurant concept where you order first at the counter and then they bring your food out to your table. I got their Eggplant Parmigiana and it was sooo yummy, even comes with half a toast! I loved that they offer fresh Parmesan as well! It was a big portion so I had leftovers for the next day (best leftovers I've ever had btw). You also have the option to get the combos, they come with a soup or salad and a drink (refillable). We tried their tomato bisque which was super satisfying since it was a chilly evening hehe. It had the perfect consistency, not too thick or runny, with croutons on top. One thing that I thought was super cool was that you can build your own pasta! Loved my visit here and I would for sure come back again to try their other menu options!! read more
