Gourmet quality for Diner prices and Fast Food speed. Always stop by when I'm in the area!

Fast food pasta! Who thought this great idea? If you want a quick meal that is excellent quality for a low price this is an amazing place. My husband and I go here at least once a month and can eat for less than $20. If we have a coupon which frequently end up in our mailbox, we can eat like kings for just $5 each. One of the other things we've always noticed is that despite the younger age of the staff there always either end and enthusiastic about their jobs. I don't know what the management is doing here but they're doing it right. In our experience most places that hire college students, they don't really want to be there. This is not the case with Presto Pasta.

I eat at the Presto Pasta in Granada Hills all the time High hopes... Totally impressed!! Like usual I got the cheese ravioli with Alfredo sauce (extra sauce) and my eating buddy got the chicken Marsala...both were totally yummy and tasty! The guy who brought us our food was a little new but he was nice and friendly, just like someone who is learning the ropes should be. Presto Pasta has fast become my favorite local restaurant when I want something fast and something that will fill me up and keep me happy. I never worry about going away dissatisfied, I know they will always take care of me.

Wow, what can I say?! John gave exceptional service helping me select the perfect dinner tonight. Was really feeling down today (lol so hungry & I have so many dietary restrictions), but John went above and beyond with kind professional service. I’ll definitely be patronizing this business! Also noticed the thank you cards on the wall from local schools and organizations! Nice to see this company is giving back to the community.

I really like the build your own pasta selection. My kids enjoy the fact that they get a delicious dinner, plus a cookie, PLUS a token to get a toy! Friendly, relaxed atmosphere with patio and inside seating gives a variety of ways to unwind and enjoy friends and family.

This place is simply amazing. The quality and price of food seems unreal. Everyone needs to come and try the garlic knots...I'm sure you'll fall in love with everything after trying these delicious balls of garlic goodness.

I love to come here when it's a chilly day. The food is delicious and comforting. I really like the garlic knots and chicken broccoli Alfredo.

Great place to get good food at a decent price. The garlic knots are very good. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo was very good, I'll get it again. The chicken parmasean is decent. Good amount of food for the money.

1st time last night my son said it is the bomb and he is hard please. I ordered off their specialty menu had the chicken and pasta, I ordered extra pasta ! not needed the serving was large and the food was better than I expected. for the price.. it is my new go to for pasta can't wait to try the whole menu .ps I have NEVER left a review before.but this place compelled me to leave one. if you don't try this place your missing out...i wish there were more stars

Amazing customer service. Food is excellent and always served fresh. The staff goes out of their way to make sure each guest gets their food in a timely manner, they always keep the restaurant clean and they have a very professional attitude

Love Presto Pasta; usually order the Cajun Chicken Penne. This time ordered a side Ceaser Salad to go with the pasta, and the portion size was perfect. Service was fast and friendly. Parking shares lot with T-Mobile.

The pasta was so tasty. The flavors are just perfect for me. The restaurant has affordable prices and as student that works part time, this restaurant is excellent.

I haven't been to this location in a year due to a bad experience with a manager (he was a really short guy) Last week when ordering in person the gentleman on the register provided me with the best customer service experience from beginning to end! ( he was a African American gentleman) Further more, the female manager ran after me way past their parking structure with my order that I had forgotten to pick up.

This was my first time here and I am very impressed! The portion sizes are large for the price and both pastas we had were covered in the perfect amount of sauce. It was nice since some places can skimp on the sauce. The garlic knots and the pastas were so delicious. We ordered on the phone, which was quick and the person who answered was friendly. Also, our quoted time of 10-15 min was perfect and ready for us. It was a great first time— we will be back!

I never really write reviews but needed to commend John. He was running around the whole time we were here cleaning tables, making sure everyone had what they needed, holding doors open for people, moving heaters around. 5/5 exceptional service. Thanks John!

We have been craving it for a while. Everyone there is so helpful and friendly. I ordered Cajun Chicken Penne, it was great. A lot of food for lunch, I took half, actually more, home for tomorrow, at least.

Great casual place , excellent food at reasonable prices. The lunch specials are a great deal. The chicken piccata was better here than at a fancy Italian restaurant that charged twice as much and you got half as much!

Just stopped by to say thank you. I called earlier today. I spoke with Tammy, she is and was very helpful. Please give her a bonus or comp day if that is something your company offers. Grandma got her Spaghetti and she was so happy. She is “a member of the clean plate club”, her words. She said it was so good. Thank you for delivering it via DoorDash since I’m in Seattle, WA. -a happy Grandma makes for a happy Granddaughter.

This Presto Pasta location in Simi is awesome. The food is a great value & the quality is good. The entire staff are positive & professional.

We love getting take out from this restaurant in Granada Hills. The food is delicious and freshly made and the service is always excellent. The employees are very friendly and always smile even when it’s busy. Linda Orozco March 3024

Had our team fundraiser there twice. The staff was courteous and hard working. Very attentive and continuously asked if we needed anything else. Even when they were very busy. As we were leaving, the kind employee thanked us for coming. Food was great. Cookies were delicious. Almost as good as my own home baked ones.

This place is so Old-Fashioned Awesome, has a Great Vibe and not only are the employees wonderful (thank-you owners for hiring a great group of caring kids!) the food is hearty and delicious. The servings are real good with a kiss of generous on the plates (I like that~don't ever change!) and it's just really really fun to go there. We don't go to "Italian restaurants" or any real "official" restaurants nowadays because everything is so dang expensive, and then when we found THIS Place (and it truly is just as good as the expensive "dine-in" restaurants) we were thrilled. We actually came here three times in two weeks. And we are picky. Every time, ... consistently delicious. Try it if you haven't already. Also, there is just something about being there, that makes you feel like you are on "vacation" too. It did that for us. Try it and you may feel the same way. Truly, a 5 Star restaurant, and an A+ in every way.

My husband and I had the sampler plate. Fettuccine Alfredo, lasagna and chicken piccata. Absolutely delicious and very nice size servings of each entree. Highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very delicious food! They give large portions and for a very affordable price! Parking is shared in a large lot with other retail stores. Management is great for catering as well. They worked very closely when we have had multiple catering orders and fundraisers!

Presto Pasta has become a go-to for me — casual, comforting, and quick. But what really keeps me coming back? Their Caesar salad. Crisp romaine, that creamy, tangy dressing, just the right amount of parmesan, and crunchy croutons that actually hold up — it hits every time. Simple, but genuinely satisfying. I love all the workers — great service every time!

I really loved my Cajun Chicken Penne pasta. It was flavorful, filling and so tasty. My friend built her own pasta. She got Penne with Pesto and grilled chicken. She is very happy with her choice. I truly recommend this place.

Employees were great! Other customers in the restraunt were rude. A group of 4 or 5 took up the entire wall of tables to the right and wouldn't let anyone else sit down. One of the lady's even told my friend that he was taking too long to fill his soda up. It was only halfway full. The food was good. I love this place. The subway of pastas!

Food was great! You get to choose your type of pastas, sauce, and topping! The service was awesome, the service was fast, and the employees were very kind. The place had a regular smell. Me and my kids sat down only to see a sparkly, wooden table, and soft orange seats! 5 stars!

Absolutely amazing, great food, great pizza and salad, extremely affordable as well!

Presto pasta is the best! 1.Affordable 2. Family and kid friendly 3. Great tasting food and portions for the price! 4. The tea is good too!

Really good Italian food. We are always met with a smile and friendly staff.

Best place ever love there food gor to love there platter meal 3 food items for $15 bucks wow

The service here is amazing! The staff is so friendly and smiley, Sam is so nice and polite. John is so kind; he brought a water bowl for our dog. The Food is so delicious and prices are very affordable. We had a wonderful experience :)

Stopped by on the way home from A nice day at the beach .great fast food Italian food I have had . Try the spaghetti with Italian sausage 😋 Chicken Alfredo even cheesecake all good prices

Excellent people greet you and make sure you leave appreciated. The options are perfect as are the prices and flavors for the category. I will be back anytime I am in Cali!

This place has awesome service, all the employees are super nice. The atmosphere her is great as well, and you can that it comes off as a bit higher end even with the presecnce of families (though there are often times where there are no children, for those of you concerned). The food is bomb, even if a bit Americanized. I love coming here, although I must say it is a bit pricy, so it's not on my frequented list of restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a casual date place or just a nice, calm, and classy place to eat dinner when you have a little extra to splurge. Totally worth it!

Anna Derderian

Great spot for fresh, fast, and affordable Italian food! Presto Pasta in Granada Hills is a solid go-to when you want something quick but still delicious. The restaurant is casual with seating inside, perfect for a relaxed meal. The pizzas are a great personal size and come out fresh and tasty. The garlic knots are delicious — soft, flavorful, and definitely a must-order. What I really love is how customizable the pasta dishes are: you can choose your pasta type, sauce, and ingredients exactly how you want it. Ordering is super easy online or by phone for pickup, and the food is always ready fast. The staff is friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend Presto Pasta for tasty, affordable Italian food that’s done right

The Chicken Cajun Pasta is so yummy. Reminds me of tandoori Pasta from India. The smokey rich flavors. The Pesto pasta is also great. The bbq pizza was delicious and the garlic knots dipped in garlic oil … OMG.. some of the best food with great ambience.

Ray G

Always clean that's a big plus for me and the worker's are very polite.

Geo

This place is awesome! My favorite from here is the Alfredo fettuccine with chicken! The food is amazing, they have great service (the food usually comes out very quickly), and the atmosphere was super nice. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!

Gregory Serrano

Had a great meal because of Gabby and John and their team. .. I highly recommend...

Linda Garcia

It was my first time here and the food is amazing!!! My kids loved it as well. The meals are super inexpensive. I would definitely say the adults are able to order off the kids menu just because the portion size are the same except the kids combo you get a cookie, a milk or water plus a token for their toy machine versus the regular combo it's minus the cookie and you get a regular drink. I had the combo penne marinara with veggies and minestrone soup 🍝.

Narine Harut

If you want fresh, homemade pasta or I can say Italian food and fast, this is the place. Very clean, cozy and well organized restaurant. My favorite, mushroom ravioli with Alfredo sauce (by the way you have options to choose different sauce and also size of your dish). Always satisfied with good food and drinks, and also great customer service.

+1

They have great service and the chicken picata is so tender it almost melts in your mouth. I would also recommended the Cajun chicken penne. would pass on the crispy artichoke hearts though they taste good they are not worth $2 for six small ones.

Delicious food. Great prices.

Nice place with a good selection of pastas and sauces. They also have a small selection of beer and wine. Staff is friendly and the place is very clean. I really appreciate that the background music is at a pleasant volume. Too many places have blaring music.

The food is great! We wanted tea, but they were out of ice. We decided to get the cold beer instead of the warm tea. We thought we were going to have to pay the difference, the Manager says just take it. She was sorry they had ran out of ice. They only draw back, it was too noisy with families. Small place, but loves the food and friendly staff.

The service here was great. The team working here is very attentive and nice. The food is good to, not anything to die over, but for the price, you can't beat it. They also have a Coke-Cola Freestyle machine, which I always enjoy seeing a business being updated with the times. The atmosphere is very clean and family friendly.

I love the decoration and ambiance

Not bad for a quick pasta joint. I like that you can create and customize the pasta dishes to your liking. My daughter loves the cheese pizza and the kids meal is totally worth the $7. The kids' meal came with a cheese pizza, kid drink, and a cookie!

My aunt & uncle went for lunch. They brought me an individual pizza & a slice of banana cheesecake. It tastes pretty good. I have never personally been to this restaurant.

The Chicken Marsala is delicious and even better the next day. My husband loves the Parmesan Chicken. I’ve eaten at many high end Italian restaurants, considering Presto Pasta is a chain, it’s a really nice surprise. The staff are friendly and they haven’t messed up a single order.

The Italian fare here is always fresh and tasty. Their combo meals are a very good deal and you can mix and match pastas with sauces. Portion size is generous and the quality is above average. I think a couple areas of improvement would include better timing of food delivery. They bring your salad and hot food at the same time. Also, the cleaning of empty tables in a more timely fashion. Parking is decent and they usually aren't busy around dinner time.

Food is good and comes out fast. Service is great.

The pasta was pretty good. Pricey but was nice to be able to build your own pasta.

The service here is very welcoming and respectful. I appreciate a place that places service high on their to-do list. If you'd like to park out front, it's going to be a hassle seeing as it's a very busy parking lot. The prices for the meals are very simple and fair. Just get the pricier option for the best bang for the buck. The interior is very clean and very well decorated. The employees keep active in cleaning and making every table ready for the next customers. The food is very flavorful, and that's coming from a guy that doesn't like Italian much. Haven't had a bad visit yet, good job PP.

Everything was quite nice, one thing though is there fried artichoke isn’t the same as the place in Valencia. It’s like mashed up or something and was not the same

Michael Cohen

Excellent value for the money. Often cheaper than fast food. The staff is friendly. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo is a classic there. A great neighborhood find.

Rex Cranford (Roses)

I ordered delivery so I can't comment on anything but the food. The food was good but the alfredo sauce needs way more parmesan. Since I cook a lot I was easily able to fix it up and make it delicious but it technically should already come that way. However, the prices are reasonable, and its difficult to hit that price point if you are spending tons of money on high quality parmesan.

Enjoyed a nice dinner @Presto Pasta, they delivered very flavourful dining experience! Ordered Chicken Cajun Pasta, Chicken Parmigiana Pasta & the Spring Salad. Chicken Cajun Pasta was the standout dish—rich, creamy, and packed with bold, spicy flavors as per personal request. The sauce had the perfect consistency, coating the pasta beautifully without being overwhelming, and the chicken was tender and well-seasoned. The kick of Cajun spice added just the right amount of heat. The Chicken Parmigiana Pasta was equally impressive. The crispy, breaded chicken paired wonderfully with the too tangy marinara sauce and pasta. Probably the too much of tanginess was something off on the pasta. The Spring Salad was ordered as a salad actually, refreshing contrast to the hearty pastas. Crisp greens, fresh toppings, and a well-balanced dressing made it a light yet flavorful addition to the meal. Overall, Presto Pasta exceeded expectations with its flavorful dishes, generous portions, and great quality. Definitely a spot worth revisiting! Just a small suggestion to the restaurant, please keep the floors tidy and clean.

Jeni Partee

Reasonable prices, great combos, nice sized portions. I loved the chicken piccata dinner. Salads are amazing. Try the garlic rolls, wow!! You order at the counter, they bring the food to you. Helpful and super nice. Lots of parking.

Kristy Garcia

Food was delicious and service and atmosphere was very pleasant. Portions were a little too big. You definitely get your money’s worth. Food was not pricey.

Tina Belmont (SoftEgg)

A very long line for lunch. This made seating a bit of a challenge, which cut the atmosphere rating a bit. Food portions could be 1/2 to 2/3rds the size and price and be just as good. Bringing the food to your table is a nice touch for what is otherwise a fast food experience. Would have appreciated some more daring pasta options for the lunch specials.

Chester Paul Sgroi

Came here to help benefit a fundraiser where the restaurant would donate (I think it was) 20% of the total bill if came during a certain day. I found the staff here to be courteous and the prices pretty good. The restaurant was clean and the the food in the "decent" range of taste. You go the counter to order and pick up your meal. You fill your own drink at the soda fountain. They are a good option as a fundraiser for your organization.

We ordered dinner to go. The guy taking the order talked very low and may have been new. He took our order and said it would be a 20 min wait. We decided to walk across the street to get some Menchies. Came back and the order was ready and wrong. The girl did say she'd fix it after going back n' forth for a bit. My son said it was going to be cold and she got snarky saying they were waiting for us because the food was ready in 5 mins. I stepped in and said your employee told us it would be a 20 min wait. Did she think we wanted cold food? She also pulled the guy to the side to ask him what happened and to correct him, not sure, but we felt she should have done that in private, especially if he was new. Overall the girl we spoke to fixed it, threw in some extra garlic bread and doubled the pasta as originally ordered. This time chicken was left out of the 'fixed' order. Good thing we checked before we left! She did fix it tho, so we were happy. Overall the place was nice, seemed chill and the employees were nice.

I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Broccoli and Scampi( shrimp) and it was alright. First of all the sauce tasted like Prego, and not like real Alfredo sauce. Second the Parmesan cheese looked like it was old. I understand that this restaurant wants to cook Italian food, however it's not Italian, it's mangia cake food. Real Italian food is simple and not easy. You do not throw whatever you have in your kitchen and call it Italian. My rate : 3/10

Food tastes like canned food. We tried 4 different plates and only one had a fresh taste all others had a canned taste. Service was ok. It’s was our first time and though there was no line behind us the waiter kindly rushed us to order when we really don’t know what to order as first time comers. Also no hot drinks at all, no tea and no coffee.

It's okay if you're looking for a quick italian fast food. You can buy the pre-made stuff from the super market and it'll taste better than what they serve for the price.

ordered the chicken alfredo to go & it’s quite dry & has no flavor. also doesn’t really have any sauce

Jack D

I ordered this through DoorDash. My daughter and I got a couple of different plates. The Cajun chicken pasta was definitely the best out of all but now I know why it’s called Presto pasta… Because it’s like eating pasta at hometown buffet. It’s like fast food pasta

Doris Guido

The service is great but the food was kind of meh. The garlic bread was the only really tasty part. The salad was way overdressed and the pasta lacked flavor. Overall and okay meal but not great.

I had Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli add sautéed mushrooms. It's nothing special and a little over priced. It seemed like everything was cooked separately then thrown together when ordered, therefore there was no flavor. The portion was okay for the price, but not worth it. There was no flavor. I can the same price at an Italian restaurant.

Presto Pasta has usually been good food and good value for years... until now... They dropped the good value and gave into shrinkflation! Very dissapointing! They recently switched to digital signage style menu which is never a good thing as that means prices will be increased to cover the cost of digital signage and allows for dynamic and frequent price increases at the click of a button! So along with some price increases comes smaller portions! When you've been going for years and years, you kind of know what the portion sizes are, so it's obvious when those shrink and the prices don't! And come on, Pasta is CHEAP!!! Especially in bulk and wholesale, so that's a bad sign when you start skimping out for something that costs you pennies... Well, may have to consider cooking at home next time instead of eating out here..

Had 2 carbonara pasta today (one with shrimp and regular) .. it was delicious, BUT what we had after with stomach and toilet was horrible!( threw the rest to the trash

I was craving pasta but didn’t want to go to a sit down style restaurant. This place came up on Maps and I thought I’d try it since it had decent reviews. Upon driving up, the place looked modern, clean, and inviting. Inside the staff were welcoming, I ordered the Shrimp Piccata and honestly, it was horrible. The sauce was mostly butter with some lemon and hint of wine (like menu says) and the shrimp tasted like old chicken... overall the food just tasted EXTREMELY processed. Like it was worse than anything I’ve had from other fast food restaurants. Unfortunately I did not find this place very appetizing. Though this was my first visit I don’t think I’ll be returning. *two stars for cleanliness and friendly staff.

Ordered from here on 2 separate occasions and both times forgot to add the proper add-ons that were paid for. Figured I'd give them a second chance from my pesto experience which left out what I paid to have added on and again with the 2nd order same deal. At this point they owe me money. 2 stars for flavour

Daniel Garcia

I used to love coming here but did this place fall off or what? The pasta was fine, nothing terrible but my favorite used to be the salads here. They absolutely butchered them. They drenched it completely in a dressing that tasted almost exclusively like vinegar and I asked for a side of their "creamy Italian dressing" which is basically mayonnaise. It ruined that whole portion of the meal. It's kinda sad but I don't think I'll be coming back.

I ordered a pickup from uber eats, their Alfredo sauce was just heavy cream no taste, total disaster, they just give garlic bread which was really awfully and handled poorly. No quality check.the place is italian but would never try again.

My partner and I thought we would try this place since we were craving pasta, but after we tried it immediately the pasta tasted like microwaved pasta. The pasta just lacked flavor and it was not good at all. The staff was friendly but that does not compensate for the quality. I would not go there again, if you want good pasta do not go here.

I went to this place for lunch with my friend about an hour ago she ordered a personal pizza and the crust was completely black with just a little brown so it’s definitely burnt. I ordered the sampler which came with lasagna, chicken piccata, and fettuccine Alfredo. Well the chicken piccata had a sour taste to it, so I didn’t eat it and the Caesar salad that came with it it taste like they just makes mayonnaise in there with croutons and sprinkle Parmesan cheese. It was horrible and I’m a chef so I know how things are supposed to taste. So it’s actually insulting when you go somewhere and you order something off the menu and the chef or whoever is cooking don’t know what they’re doing .if you don’t know how to cook at then be trained properly because that was horrible and I will never go back to this place again totally disgusted.

My girlfriend and I have had issues with there management and quality of food at there Granada hills location. They provided an email address starting with "we care" for us to communicate with but the email address doesn't even work. That tells you how much they care. I'm pretty sure there going to respond with the same email address to this review

Food was okay! Till i found this in my salad! Disgusting! Never again will i be coming here! 🤒😡

Ordered from the Camarillo Presto Pasta. The linguine with cream sauce came with no sauce on it. The Caesar salad lettuce was brown and for some reason contained a random piece of salami/sausage in it (had to throw it all away). This place is on a fast slide down hill. Will not go there again.

An employee named JOHN wearing a covid mask was handling my food and extra sauce that I bought separately (take-out) with his disgusting bare hands. He wears a mask to cover his face, but he should wear gloves to cover his hands when handling food. Disgusting. His fingernails looked dirty. Ew. I'm not going back there!

Your description of chicken piccata is not what turned out to be. Options once I went to Guber Eats were totally different from what you described dish to be

I ordered spaghetti bolognese #trash. They just gave me sauce… they should go and train the chef, he doesn’t know what he is doing. In fact, it’s tasteless. When I called to report, the manager was very Rude. It’s called Italian but nothing is Italian there. It’s just some bunch of Spanish people who doesn’t even know what they are doing in the kitchen. Cheap Labor.

Every time I order chicken piccata, I get diarrhea and makes me feel sick from my stomach. Are you guys cooking the chicken right?

Jazmine Hernandez

I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and was excited to eat it when I opened the lid and saw a hair. I ordered my food to go… so there is only one way that got into there. They tried to convince me to get a voucher but why would I go back and order if the stores cleanliness is obviously not in order. Now they said I need to go in person for my refund.

Kya Smith

Food was good, at first. Very well flavored, great portion size, everything you want from a good pasta place! Until i got about a third of the way through- there is something that appears to be bright blue plastic. Of course I couldn't finish it. I ordered via grubhub and they were able to refund my money.
