I ordered the creamy bulgogi pasta. This was a really interesting combination that worked surprisingly well. The pasta was rich and creamy, while the bulgogi added a savory, slightly sweet flavor that made the dish stand out from a traditional pasta. The beef was tender and mixed well with the sauce, giving every bite a good balance of flavors. The portion size was generous and filling, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. The restaurant had a casual, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was friendly throughout my visit. It's the kind of place that's fun to try when you're looking for something a little different from the usual Italian or Korean food. Definitely glad I gave it a shot, and I'd come back to try some of the other fusion dishes on the menu.

You won't be disappointed. What drew me to this place was the homemade pasta as well as the Korean fusion flavors. Went on a Saturday evening and it wasn't too crowded. It was simply decorated and clean. Plenty of seating. You can order at the counter or at the Kiosk on the right side of the restaurant. We ordered the creamy truffle pasta, the creamy kimchi pasta and make your own pasta with the sweet and spicy gochujang sauce. Also got the Mandu and garlic bread. Everything was delicious. I was especially impressed with the creamy truffle pasta. It was better than some of the nicer Italian restaurants I've been to. The sweet and spicy gochujang is on the spicier side but I couldn't stop eating it. The Mandu has seasoned beef in it that has similar notes as bulgogi flavor. Some suggestions would be that they would add some kind of salad or greens to the menu. I also wish the garlic bread had more garlic flavor and less herbs. But this is my personal preference. Otherwise a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend.

I had seen some Instagram posts about this restaurant about a month ago and figured while I was up in the Valencia area I would stop in and give them a try. I love freshly made pasta! They have a Korean fusion menu which elevates the flavors. They actually make the spaghetti, fettuccine and pappardelle pasta in house. I won the lotto finding this hidden gem. I also love the concept of creating your own dish with all the great choices they have. Different sauces, proteins, veggies and spice levels. They also have specialty pasta dishes, ravioli and small 8" Roman Artisan Pizzas! How fun! There is something for every one and every age group. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. For my first time I decided to pick a low key pasta dish. Pappardelle with the rose sauce - no add-ons or spices added. I took it to go and it traveled well. It comes with a seasoned slice of toast. I was very impressed with the taste of the sauce and the quality of the pasta. Next time I'm going to try the creamy truffle mushroom pasta. I was welcomed by a very nice young gentleman with a big smile and he was very helpful. I wish I asked for his name. The woman at the front was also very sweet and friendly. The restaurant has ample seating, very clean and spacious. Casual feel. I literally can't wait to bring my husband and son back up here to have them try it out. Highly recommend giving them a try! WOW is right!

Interesting make your own pasta restaurant that serves you in a to go container. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I got the spicy garlic with veggies, kimchi, and mandu and my husband got the creamy buldak chicken. Both were filling and although I wouldn't get my pasta again because I found the kimchi a bit tart, it did remind me of Koreatown. I would go there again because there are so many options to choose from. Very clean restaurant and the bathroom even has Clorox wipes and air fresheners. Service is great as well. Staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Finally, a solution to the age-old dilemma - Do you want asian noodles, or Italian noodles tonight? Why not both? Enter Wow Spaghetti and an entire world of familiar and new, creative noodle/pasta options are available to you! I took my son (who, all you have to do is say the word "pasta" and he's in for whatever the experience is) for dinner one night. I had to try the Corn Cheese Pasta because I love all three of those things and if they're going to go ahead and put them all in one dish, I'm going to go ahead and give it a try. It was unique and pretty good. My son had spicy chili garlic pasta which he said was pretty good too. So there you have it, an Italian(ish) and Asian dish, both served to us at the same table. Genius! You have a lot of decisions to make (what kind of pasta, spice level, sauce you want in it...) The person who took our order (you order at the counter and then find a table and they'll bring you your food when it's ready) was very helpful in guiding those decisions, using her insight to let us know what other people have chosen and what is popular. It's a small-ish space but seating in booths or tables is available. The best part, I think, is that you can go back and have a completely different pasta meal depending on what you pick. We'll definitely be doing that.

spicy chili garlic bulgogi penne pasta
Tina O.

What took me so long to try this great innovative Korean pasta eatery I will never know! It is owned by a wife and husband team. I only regret not learning their names. We were greeted as we entered and the wife took time to tell us about the menu and food. She gave us many sauce samples along witht the descriptions. There are many fresh pasta choices I am happy to report. We ordered the creamy bulgogi spaghetti mild and the spicy chili garlic penne pasta along with Corn Cheese which is a Korean-style street food. Everything was delicious! The pastas were cooked perfectly. The bulgogi is so flavorful and the servings are enough for two meals. The corn cheese was a baked dish of cheese and corn loaded with flavor. We will be returning here over and over I am sure! There is plenty of parking in the lot, and ample seating inside. It did fill up during the lunch hour. They have a large selection of bottled and canned drinks in a cold case as well as self-serve water. The restaurant was very clean and full of many returning customers. This is a must try!!

I tried the fettuccine with rose sauce and shrimp. The food is delicious and service is amazing! My daughter loves Wow Spaghetti!

Mushroom Papardelle
Jan T.

I redownloaded Yelp just to put this review in. This is the BEST PASTA I've had in a while. Dare I say this is better pasta than some pure Italian places I've been to. This tier pasta is easily $25+ at other restaurants. Would definitely come back. It's Asian fusion (Korean specifically). The best part about the pasta dishes is the noodles themselves, the texture is perfect and some of the noodles are freshly made. The mushroom one IMO is the best. Friendly service, and what a clean establishment. I really hope they stay around. This is a true gem. Ooh btw the bulgogi one was SO good too.

Creamy Dreamy Fettuccine with shrimp Mild spice. .

Pleasantly surprised. I only Happened to hear about this place today by reading a local community fb post. So glad I saw the post while hungry! I can't cook in my house bc I am suffering from debilitating headaches and other health conditions that seem to be environmental.. having to evacuate daily and being forced to eat out for all meals has become a huge burden. I'm over the fast fooderies but not well enough for a sit down restaurant either. I had been craving homemade Alfredo pasta for dinner so this recommendation was spot on! The place is well appointed. Not too big, not too small. Updated. Welcoming & Clean. Friendly service too. There were a good amount of folks already inside and a small line to order... Bc of my vertigo, I can't stand for long periods of time... just when I thought to go turnaround and go elsewhere, I noticed a Kiosk! Another great surprise. The kiosk is all touch screen and the menu items were clear, big enough font and with giant photos for reference. I completed my order in under 2 minutes. (Faster than the ppl who were at the counter! Ha! ) The kiosk gave me an order number and I sat down to wait. As I sat down, my phone buzzed with a text that my order was ready. It turned out to be a mistake but that was okay...When my order was actually ready, a sweet young lady brought it to my table with utensils and a smile. The food smelled so good right away! I'm telling you right now, if you're a fettuccine Alfredo fan, RUN to this place and give theirs a try. They have ruined it for anyone else. Idk how they got it to be so creamy but I'll be coming back for it often! I ordered the Creamy dreamy with Fettuccine added Shrimp and Mild as the spice. The spice level was absolutely perfect for my palate. I'm very pleased. 10/10 I spent $18 including tax and tip. I would've ate more if the portion was bigger. Better for my waistline this way I guess. Enjoy!

Kimchi cream pasta
Yvette H.

I would have passed right by this restaurant if I hadn't stopped to read the menu! The pictures don't do it justice. The Kimchi Cream Pasta and the 'Wow Spaghetti' (sloppy joe over pasta) are what finally drew us in. ​The Kimchi Cream Pasta was perfectly creamy with a nice spicy kick and crunchy bites of kimchi. My husband absolutely devoured the sloppy joe pasta! ​It's great that you can build your own pasta or choose a specialty dish. Portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the owners were incredibly welcoming. We will definitely be back

My cousins from Fresno came over for thanksgiving and they wanted Paik's Noodle because they like jjajangmyeon, a popular Korean dish which contains black paste and other ingredients on noodles. However, the name changed to something different, now a Wow Spaghetti. Interesting to be honest, not sure why this change has occurred. Upon entering a day prior to thanksgiving, it was empty. Not a soul, not a human, nobody inside except the cashier and her dad. The sweet girl from the front was pleasant to customers and pleasant to watch. She was kind enough to give her view of what dish was popular here. There is a list of twelve delicious popular menu items on the wall for the customer to choose from. She requested to try the kimchi or spicy noodle dish. My cousins preferred the bulgogi noodle dish with cream sauce because it looked tasty. Of course I agreed with them. I didn't order anything there because I already have eaten prior but they both haven't eaten for hours and they were craving some sort of noodle extravaganza. The price for every dish according to the menu was around $15 more or less. It was okay I suppose, but could obviously be a better value in my opinion. The dish they chose in particular took around 10-15 minutes to receive. That wait is average for two of these noodle specialty orders. It smelled bizarre to be honest. It had a pungent Alfredo aroma and a blend of barbecue ribs. It however, tasted much different and was quite good. I enjoyed the flavors of the cream and bulgogi mixture to some extent, but it felt like I could have had more albeit, I shared this dish with my cousin. Overall, the ambiance inside is just like Paiks noodle but cleaner from what I remember and definitely tasted better than jjajangmyeon. The portion size was smaller although the flavor and taste of the dish was excellent. I could make spaghetti on my own but at least this dish is more difficult to create and tasted amazing. I would recommend to give it a try, but it was odd that nobody else was in there at any time we were inside which was about 20 minutes. I'd go again and maybe try something different, but the cream with bulgogi choice was one I recommend.

Pasta is delicious! I tried the lobster bisque with broken lasagna, and it was cooked perfectly. Creamy and could taste the lobster essence in the bisque sauce. No actual pieces of lobster though. The bolognese with meatballs was excellent too! Prices are decent. I do miss Paik's Noodles that used to be here! The owners from that former restaurant are still here but re-opened as this pasta shop franchise to appeal to the masses. Hopefully we can get some jjajangmyeon or black bean noodles eventually at this spot too, as another option aside from all the other pasta options!! It was so good, and I miss it so much! Fingers crossed! I've tried Wow Spaghetti at another location almost 2 years ago now (but it closed down sadly). They have another location in the OC and formerly in the IE. It was very spicy back then, and not much options available, but now they have different spice levels and different noodles and build your own pasta! How cool!

Went here for lunch today with a couple of my partners and we loved it. I love pasta and this place was so good. I got the Bolognese with the flat noodles and it was perfect. The flavor was good, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the customer service was great. My partners had the spicy chili garlic pasta, and he also loved it. I usually make fun of him because he's so picky with his food and he cleaned his plate. The side of garlic bread was perfect with the meal. My other partner had the pizza pasta one, don't really know the name, but he also cleaned his plate. The restaurant was cute. We will definitely be back.

They have a menu and drinks fit for all ages, including a cool drink machine which you can scroll and pick your favorite drink from many flavored sodas, Fanta drinks, teas, lemonades and my favorite, Lemon/Strawberry drink. The ambiance is friendly and have comfortable tables with booths. For children, A large gum ball machine with plastic balls filled with trinkets inside each one. At the counter the child is given a coin to put in the giant gum ball machine and turn the dial for their free toy. A very welcoming ambiance for everyone to enjoy, including seniors! Oh!

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!

I was pleased with the toppings on my pizza because they do not skimp at all. The toppings were plentiful, the bottom was nice and crispy, and it is such a good size for a medium.

Flash forward to 2026, it's a Monday around 8pm and knowing that this place doesn't close until 10pm, we figured we'd give it a shot. We arrived around 8:20pm, and asked for a table for 2. We were immediately directed into the bar which I thought was a little odd but I figured maybe they had just cleaned the main dining room for the night and it would be easier for them if they sat us in the bar. There was one customer at the bar, but he left about ten minutes into us arriving. After the bartender closed his tab out, she came to our table and took our order. She offered us bread, but it never came out. We started with an order of the figs prosciutto and salami flatbread, and the Monterey Bay tempura calamari. Both dishes came out in about 12 minutes. My partner and I enjoyed the calamari but were more impressed with the flatbread. The way the fig, and cheese, and prosciutto all blended with one another was deliciously sweet and savory. Once the appetizers came out, we put in an order for our entrees and drinks. My partner got a watermelon spritz, and I got a sparkling water. For dinner, my partner ordered the Penne Bolognese and I ordered the Linguine Pesto. The entrees took about an additional 20 minutes to whip up. I think if you're in the mood for pasta, these are both great picks. Personally, I thought the Penne Bolognese had more meat than I would have preferred, but I recognize that I'm not a huge meat eater, and for someone like my partner who has to have meat in every meal, it was incredible. My Linguine Pesto was perfectly cooked, cheesy, and the pesto flavors were prominent. I'm guessing this is a one off thing, but when we were seated in the bar area - I was getting bit by mosquitos like crazy. When I got home, I had at least 3 bites on my stomach, and then a handful running down my leg. To be honest, mosquitos love me, so I normally wouldn't have mentioned this but my partner who doesn't typically get bit as much as I do, started getting attacked too and we had to leave because we were so itchy. Overall the food here is fantastic - and I think would be a great date night spot. For 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 drinks (1 alcoholic) our bill was $115 subtotal. There's also plenty of parking which is a plus.

I've been coming to Piccola Trattoria for years, although I hadn't visited in quite some time…read more Coming back reminded me exactly why I fell in love with this restaurant in the first place. Graziella and her brother have created such a special dining experience. My favorite dish has always been the pistachio sauce ravioli. I didn't see it on the menu and mentioned how much I loved it, and Graziella was kind enough to make it for me anyway, explaining that it's now part of their rotating menu. That level of hospitality is rare and so appreciated. I usually never order ravioli as a main course anywhere else, but this dish is absolutely incredible and unlike any ravioli I've had. I was on a double date and convinced my friend to order the same dish because I couldn't stop talking about it. She absolutely loved it and understood immediately why it's my favorite. My fiancé and his cousin both ordered the lamb chops and couldn't stop raving about them. My fiancé substituted the seasonal vegetables for the arugula salad. He normally doesn't eat salad, but he finished the entire thing and said it was one of the best salads he's ever had. The dressing was amazing, and after trying it myself, I completely agreed. My fiancé's cousin, who I consider like a brother, was trying lamb chops for the first time and said he felt like he'd been missing out his whole life. I also ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita from the rotating cocktail menu and enjoyed it so much that I ordered a second one. The food was outstanding, but the atmosphere deserves recognition too. The patio is beautiful, romantic, and has such a relaxing ambiance. It was the perfect setting for a double date. After being away for a few years, I'm so glad I came back. The food, service, and hospitality were just as wonderful as I remembered. Piccola Trattoria remains one of my favorite restaurants, and I can't wait to return again soon.

Just don't order the Caesar salad and you'll be okay…read more Stopped by this place on the way back home to San Francisco. They don't have parking unless you wanna pay for valet otherwise you have to walk a block. Bummer off first impression. Living in San Francisco there's endless authentic Italian restaurants to choose from on a daily. Such as Paradisio. Ordered mojito, Cesar salad, shrimp ravioli and Alfredo fettuccine. That Cesar salad was so tasteless and welted. Informed our waiter he dis absolutely nothing lol joke. The mojito was watered down. However the entrees was better. I would recommend entree nothing else. The service was ok. Just seem like the restaurants these days are trying to cut corners and back on cost which the customer is suffering from lack of quality.
