10/10 if youre a business looking to cater, they accommodated every request I had and arrived 10 minutes early! Our facility caters every Friday, so we have had our fair share of let downs, but not with Pastalini, the food was hot, tasty and well presented. Theyre Covid Safe and gave me everything individualized. give them a call, ask for Jordan!

I always love coming here! The food is as fresh as can be and all the staff members are wonderful and kind! I ordered the 3 cheese honey garlic pizza yesterday with extra ricotta and it was to die for. The prices are very reasonable and the military discount is appreciated!

Pastalini is a magical place. Its like Chipotle but instead of Mexican food, its freshly made pasta dishes. All the staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. A must try in the Miramar area.

This place is so great. The pasta was delicious, and everything was made in store, which makes it all fresh. The employees were very kind and the place was super clean. They offer a wide variety of options as well as complimentary bread, free refills, etc. Definitely one of my new favourite places.

Went last night and both got pasta. It was so delicious that we went back tonight to try their pizza. They didnt disappoint. They are so good and they remembered us from going last night. They will definitely be a regular go to place for us. Nothing is greasy and everything is perfect

Great pasta and bread knots. The calzones also look amazing but I love the pasta so much that I havent tried them yet, honestly. :)I get the pesto sauce (Ive tried some of the others and you really cant go wrong with ANY of them, they are all so good). You get 3 toppings and bread knots with every order, so I get the artichoke, corn mix, and black olives. Then you get to pick seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, etc.) and they make the pasta fresh in front of you.Great alternative to sandwich shops with the same set-up - - sort of a build your own Italian dish. I work in Mira Mesa and go here regularly for lunch. Id recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick but delicious Italian meal.

Nothing to go crazy over just some decent Italian cuisine. We had calzones the smaller size was plenty for one person, had some weird sauces to go with it but overall it want bad food

Food smells and taste great! A good place to go if youre in a Pizza Hit rut! Fresh salads and they prepare your food right in front of you at the counter! It also has outdoor dining during this pandemic.

This place has been one of my favorites on Miramar Rd for awhile now my brother James turned me on to this place and I have been stopping in every chance I get. I also got to take my little family to eat here. But I must say the food is really good and the ones that work there are very kind I had the pleasure to enjoy a meal there yesterday and I have to give thanks to Mr. Javier for being kind and showing his customers respect. Also there way a younger girl that help me out as well but I didnt get here name. She really didnt talk much but maybe she was tired I know I was after coming in after a long day.But I must say this is a good place to go I wish my bro was there but Im sure he will stop in today. Well much Blessings to the square

The place smelled fantastic, but the food was only the okayest. The service was great and fast, and the price was decent. My boyfriend ordered made to order pasta, and I ordered a Greek salad. The pasta was okay, but the Greek salad with chicken was a huge disappointment. The “Greek” salad dressing tasted like straight lemon juice. I’d recommend adding some oil (and maybe some herbs) to balance that out and calling it what it is (lemon and oil) versus Greek dressing. The pre-cooked cubed chicken wasn’t my favorite, but it suits their business model and fast service. I am a bread lover, so I was happy to get free bread on the side, but it didn’t have any flavor. In the future, I might give them another shot if I was craving something simple like spaghetti with marinara and cheese.

We ordered an 18 inch pepperoni pizza as well as a side of pasta. The Ford wasd very good. If you want something a little more tasteful than Dominos, Pizza Hut or any of those other fast pizza shops, come here.

Review №17

Great customized pasta dishes. Like Subway for pasta, only waaaaay better. They have a large selection of pastas, toppings, tasty sauces, and meats to add. The toppings are all good and fresh, but the portion sizes could be a little more for the price. However all in all, they have good quality ingredients and fast, friendly service. Update: Got the spinach linguini with roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, and mushrooms, and added calamari. Also got the whole wheat fusilli, with artichoke hearts, fresh tomatoes, and mushrooms, and added calamari. We usually get shrimp, but this time decided to try the calamari. Big mistake, minus one star. The calamari was extremely salty; you only tasted salt when you bit into it. We will never order the calamari again. Well go back to ordering shrimp from now on. The pasta and veggie toppings were very tasty as usual.

This was my first time here and I had high expectations as I had heard it was really good. I didn’t find the staff that friendly, but the food was ok and I like the concept. I will say it is very affordable and has a cool environment. Will probably come back.

One of the best pasta places around! They cook it in front of you, and everything is fresh. Large portions too.Also they have gluten free pasta

Review №22

Ranch is disgusting. Marinara sauce too watery. Like watered pressed tomatoes. Not enough thickness to it (then why call it a sauce?) pasta was salty, pizza was salty. Broccoli tasted bad and left a horrible aftertaste. Calzone not well seasoned, had no taste. Sticky seating. Table is sticky. Me and gf walking out feeling like barfing. Paid $45, wasn’t worth it. Was up sold without being told of the portion sizes so we over ordered. No remorse, just hungry for profit. But it didn’t taste good. Won’t come back.

This place is very good value for the price and I loved how much pasta they served and how they made it fresh in front of you. The pasta was delicious, especially the tomato cream sauce and even though I got a small calzone it was huge. I will be back.

Like the looks and the set up of this place. The price point is great as well, as well as how much food you actually get for the price is amazing. It can get quite busy at times though. So be prepared for a short wait. Worth it though!!

Review №28

Interesting concept to counter order and prepare on the spot. Wasn’t a big fan of the cubed chicken in my pasta dish. It’s precooked and dry. Gluten free rice noodles tasted like Pho noodles...which I think would be better with a lot of broth instead of a thick cream sauce.

Ka
Review №29

Came here with my wife. I ordered rigatoni pasta with vodka sauce, calamari, mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella. My wife got the angel hair pasta with the meat sauce, shrimp, and mozzarella. We both thought both pastas were a little bland, not enough flavor; it’s probably due to the fact that they throw everything into a heated pan before serving it. If we come here again I will probably ask for extra sauce. Overall the food and the service is ok.

This place will fill the pasta-shaped void in your heart! Just finished eating here and our expectations were so majorly exceeded that I had to write this review before we’d walked 20 feet from the restaurant. You get to choose your pasta, sauce, toppings, and it’s all sautéed for you into a piping hot bowl of nom. There’s even a gluten free rice pasta! Portions are huge—we both got smalls and had half leftover. We tried the whole-wheat fusili (made from scratch on the premises) with the homemade pomegranate marinara (wow, just wow—seriously you have to try this sauce—it’s magical and not weirdly sweet at all). We also tried the gluten free rice linguine—surprisingly good for a rice pasta. Pasta comes with tender little garlic rolls (yum) and we tried a side salad too. Big salad for the price and it was great, although the vinaigrette was a little heavy on the vinegar for my taste. Also want to give the girls that were working a major shoutout—they were awesome and super helpful and patient, answered all our questions, and gave us free samples of sauces! I’m sorry I forgot to ask you your names while we were there and then felt too weird about it to run back in and ask, but hopefully you know who you are Thursday-night-pasta-goddesses—you rock. Thanks for an awesome experience we’ll be back!

Get Your Pastalini On!Have your special dish of pasta made to order right in front of you! Pick the large; is only a few cents more and add what you love to your meal, and dont forget the garlic! Theres vegetables, meats, and all kinds of goodies to add to your meal, then itll be cooked right in front of you! The employees are very attentive, the price is light on the pocketbook, and its the only one in San Diego.Its close to Miramar military base so youll hear the planes rumbling sometimes and dont worry its in a strip mall, so theres plenty of parking and outdoor seating. Enjoy.

They were super nice. Cute place. Sadly, the food isn’t actually that good. Their sauces were runny and the dish lacked flavor overall. The sausage was really good tho. I was pretty disappointed with it my food. And so were my three friends and we all ordered different pasta dishes.

Best Italian food Ive had in a long time and the prices are great! Staff is friendly and food is made fresh to order.

My daughters favorite San Diego restaurant. Its good. You can customize your meal. Best deal is on the large, and youll have leftovers for tomorrow. Baked dinners and salads are just as good as the pasta, but the build - your - own pasta dinner is definitely our favorite. Staff is always very nice and helpful.

Review №68

It is a cool concept. Pasta made in a subway style. I had chicken Alfredo with broccoli and spinach. I would say the price was okay but the pasta wasnt very good, specifically the Alfredo sauce. I went with a group of people who all had different things and they enjoyed their food...so maybe its just the Alfredo that isnt very good.

Their pasta is delicious but they put yellowing/browning broccoli in my pasta which made it taste funky. Im willing to give them another shot, but Ill be skipping on the veggies next time. Their bread is addictive.

Review №72

Pastalini is a restraunt with a really high ceiling for great flavors! The choices put in front of you can be great. I made the tortellini with vodka sauce, red onions, mushrooms, feta, a big scoop of red pepper flakes, oregano, pepper, and half a spoon of garlic. It was outstanding! I would have been very satisfied receiving this same dish in Little Italy for $20+ a plate. But, as satisfied as I was this time, Ive also had some lackluster experiences trying some of my wifes pasta concoctions here. The sauces are definitely not all fantastic. I recommend the vodka sauce, and advise you to tread lightly otherwise.

I love the pasta here. You get to select the type of pasta, the sauce, protien, and toppings. Then they cook it front of you, and then its ready to eat. I really love the sweet tea, it is not just sweetened, but is flavored as well. The price is good too, my wife, my two year old (barely eats anything) my one year old (eats everything, and in more quantities than my two year old) can get fed with leftovers for the low $20s. I have eaten here three times since discovering it last week. I highly recommend this place if youre in the mood for pasta.
