    Been coming here since day one. Still has the freshest and reasonable priced fast food around. Keep it up. Just my humble opinion.

    Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Broccoli

    I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli absolutely horrible bland no flavor whatsoever I'm so disappointed

    Felix B.

    Presto Pasta Valencia, CA Affordable, fast, and surprisingly flavorful Presto Pasta nails the casual Italian vibe. I tried the Chicken Piccata and Garlic Parmesan Knots, and both were fresh, hot, and generously portioned. The staff was friendly, and the space had a clean, welcoming feel. It's not gourmet, but for a quick pasta fix that doesn't skimp on taste, it hits the spot.

    The food was great, but the service was even better! Alison brought my pasta, and I noticed it had onions, which I don't like. Without any attitude, she immediately offered to change it for me. She was so kind and attentive, and the overall service was outstanding. The food quality was excellent, and I'll definitely be coming back!.

    Garlic Parmesan Knots

    We have gone back a few time since my first time. This is definitely one of my kids' favorite places. I tell them, I can make cheese butter pasta at home and they said, but it doesn't taste as good! Ha! One thing I know that I can't make as well is the garlic knots. But I have to try because they are so so good! Again it's fast casual American Italian food. Please don't expect a high end gourmet meal. But it's a great family friendly place that is reasonably priced with fair portions and prices. Make sure to hit their beverage area where they have olive oil and balsamic vinegar for your bread dipping needs. They also have nice fresh lemonades that make the perfect Arnold Palmer with the tea. I do wish they would season and cook the veggies a little better. They are always so bland and hard. But I always eat it with the chicken and it's ok. The garlic knots had an odd shape this time around, but fortunately they still tasted good.

    Hardly any beef
    Pope C.

    Service was excellent. Friendly and efficient. The place was clean and nice. The price has continually gone up, with an extra $5 for the more pasta option. I understand that. What I'm not too happy about was the sparse meat sauce. Hardly any ground beef, so it felt anemic. Nothing like how it used to be. I wish they'd rectify this situation. But I'll be back.

    Angel hair with marinara cream sauce and garlic toast (only toasted on one side)
    Bob E.

    I come here probably once a week or so. I typically order angel hair pasta with marinara cream sauce. Its OK. The 2 things that baffle me: they serve pasta with parmesan, then come to your table and ask you if you would like parm on your dish. Why can't you just serve without if you're coming to the table to grate it anyway. (Some people like me don't like parm, or am I the only one?) Secondly, why is the garlic toast only toasted on one side? It has so much potential if toasted on both sides. And it is so weak and unappetizing toasted on only one side. I like crisp, hot garlic bread. Atmosphere is fine, price is fair and staff are generally OK with a few hit and miss.

    Stopped here on my way to Ventura they have a very good 10 dollar lunch special. I got the Caesar salad and fettuccine Alfredo and it was very good. My boyfriend got the tomato bisque and spaghetti and he really liked it. The workers were all very kind and nice and helped with recommendations. Service was good. Ambiance was nice and chill and good break from the road.

They have a nice interior build-out with a huge wine bar, but it was a nice evening and we elected to sit on their spacious patio. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by Sarah, who is the bartender and also manages a couple of nights a week for the owner. Sarah is super friendly, explained the menu and provided great table service. They have a large wine selection. My wife ordered a chardonnay and I stuck with an Arnold Palmer. We ordered their bruschetta appetizer, served as six pieces of toasted bread and the expected toppings. It was a perfect start to our meal. We were not super hungry, and selected a three-cheese charcuterie board. You are able to select your cheeses, and Sarah again helped us make our decision. It was perfect for a summer-weather afternoon (although in March) and we chatted, had our drinks and picked at the board until it was gone. During our meal, Sarah was very attentive to our needs. My wife tried another chard, and we ordered their banana dessert, which had great flavor and was a nice end to the meal. This is a great place to quietly enjoy some wine, beer and food. They have a good sized menu and offer a brunch menu on Sundays. (Diane, Sarah needs a bonus, she made the evening much fun).

    If I were to ask you to picture the most elegant and sophisticated wine bar anywhere on earth, you…read moremight think of, oh, I don't know, La Compagnie St Germain in Paris or Oscar Wilde in New York or even Wally's in Beverly Hills. You probably wouldn't think of one in Valencia, would you. Well, I have been to all of the above and I am telling you, you would be missing out on a one of a kind, out of this world experience that can be had any day of the week at Kindred Spirits, adjacent to the Hyatt Regency. No, I didn't expect it to come anywhere close to the stratospheric experiences you could have were you to choose any wine bar you fancied, but, the minute I got inside, I knew I was in for an unforgettable experience that I will want to repeat. First of all, it's downright beautiful. Flawlessly decorated with a chic living room vibe with just the right elements to suggest a curated museum-level sensibility. See my pictures as well as all the others here on Yelp. I spent the entire time noticing little details like the plush velvet banquet, the clubby wing back arm chairs, the art deco artefacts and furnishings, paintings, sculptures, even the ceiling lights were unique and obviously carefully selected. And then there is the stupefying wine and spirits menu that goes on and on. I rarely drink anything alcoholic but I couldn't pass up a taste of one of the exquisite sparkling wines that caught my eye. There is a full range of everything. If you really must have beer, it's there, but! For heaven's sake, try something elevated -- ask for recommendations. You won't be disappointed. However, the star of the entire experience is the menu. Now, remember, I am a lifelong vegetarian. I had fun limiting myself to four choices -- I could have had more were I not on a perpetual diet. You can see what we ordered in my photographs. Each dish was superb, really, first in class. Nonetheless, take a good look at my photographs of the Autumn Apple Tarte -- it is the g.o.a.t., believe me. Not only did it taste celestial but notice the tiny flowers? The chef, Priscilla, is a highly skilled and trained artist, her medium just happens to be delicately flavored and arranged plates of heaven. And Sarah, our attendant took a concierge approach to caring for us. A cosmopolitan playlist provided a lyrical backdrop that just made everything flow like silk. Parking is easy, simply use the Hyatt Convention Center parking lot adjacent to a verdant golf course or their garage, for free. There are two main rooms and we asked for the "lobby"-like large room with a giant table that we had all to ourselves, given we were there in the late afternoon on a Sunday. Even so, clientele were coming and going. It was the golden hour and we were draped in a warm light and cozy but uplifting spirit. The entire experience was flawless. And the tab? Ridiculously reasonable. You may not be headed to Rodeo or Saint-Germain-des-Prés or West 27th street any time soon. So, instead, treat yourself to this epic wine bar. You will thank me, when you do.

The street front seating and building architecture is very appealing and welcoming. As you enter the main doors, you are greeting by friendly staff. We were offered any open seating, we decided to take a table against the back wall that was adjacent to the entry. The decor inside is very rustic with a touch of micro brewery, the ceiling has many tap handles that adorn the ceiling. The menu and food, we were initially drawn into the Refinery since they seem to be the only spot that offered Brunch and Mimosas in the downtown street. Key point of clarification, the Mimosas are simi bottomless (you have 90 min) to pour down, some of us really like Mimosas, plus the price was just slightly higher that we typically expect at 27, per person. Were they good, yes, so we decided to go with one Mimosa and an Old Fashion drink, it was very well done, Buffalo Trace Bourbon. We ordered from the Brunch menu, the Steak and Eggs, cooked to your liking, they did a great job on both, the one item that we were less impressed with were the overcooked Oreda looking potatoes that accompanied the meals. We also ordered the Cacio e Pepe Beni, Prosciutto, perfect poached eggs and all of the other fixings, it was great testing and the presentation was amazing. As far as my overall rating I could not give it a 5 star due to what other customers have shared in their reviews, the wait staff is not timely, almost forced friendly and possibly just lacking some restaurant experience, they did not come around or notice things like empty water glasses and a few other things, could have been understaffed possibly on this day. Overall I would still recommend the Refinery due to the location, atmosphere, drinks and main dish prep. Thank you for providing a break from reality during a very trying time in our family.

    Lovely spot for drinks and dinner in Santa Clarita…read more I was in the area running errands and decided to grab dinner nearby on a Thusday evening around 6:30 pm. I found this place on Yelp and dropped by for dinner. My party of 2 was seated immediately. Personally I thought the menus were hard to read. The gray lines in the background were quite dark and clashed with the actual menu items. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to reprint the menus with lighter background. They have an extensive cocktail menu with a lot of gin-based drinks. They also have good selection of wine and NA drinks as well, including some mocktails. I got the I'm Driving mocktail ($13), which I really liked. It had good passion fruit flavor without being too sour. Felt like a really nice tropical juice. My friend really liked his drink Bramblin' Man ($17), which had strong notes of bourbon and blackberry. I wasn't super hungry, but the braised short rib looked amazing so I got that for $43. It was very tender, but I personally found it bland especially on the inside. I asked for additional sauce so I could drench each bite in the sauce. My favorite part of the plate was surprisingly the potato croquette, which was perfectly crispy and well flavored. My friend got the chicken club ($23), which he enjoyed. I stole a bunch of his seasoned fries since they were so good. I would've loved to get dessert but was too stuffed. Next time!

Upon entry, the restaurant feels super intimate- almost a cozy vibe if it weren't for the white tablecloths and linen napkins. Once I was seated, looked over the menu and ordered, I decided to look up reviews on Yelp. Not as positive as I usually look for before selections a restaurant but I am so glad I came in before I made this snap judgement! I also saw that although being open for lunch, they again close to prep for dinner service so I am equally glad I stopped when I did. I selected the tequila chicken fettuccine, at the recommendation of the wonderful man who sat and served me, ( I was thinking about carbonara). I will probably wake up craving this pasta!! Flavorful, chicken cooked perfectly and not sitting in an overly creamy sauce. I also enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, crisp and lovely, and upon inquiry, learned it is not available in stores! I'll probably be back for a glass or two of wine at the very least!
