Simply Pasta

Very rare to find a pasta shop around here in the Bay Area because you have to go to a bigger restaurant to order pasta. This place is like the fast food version of Italy. Everything isn’t too fancy but at the same time, well decorated. I was looking over the menu and you can basically customize your own pasta dish. All comes with garlic bread. Otherwise, you can simply get one of their own specialties, which I got since it’s my first time here. The Shrimp Alfredo is very delicious especially when you add Parmesan cheese. The garlic bread is good even though that its quality is average. It’s fine because I only care about the main dish the most. Prices are decent as well and it took them 15 minutes to prepare my food, but I think it depends on what dish you get.

I Took a chance to call from parking lot to order lol However, Jason was glad to place my order with pleasant and eager customer service. The Lady with pretty nails rang me up and was wonderful as well! I ordered Creamy Already Fettuccine with Chicken and Sun Dried Tomatoes. It was amazingly delicious at the first bit and came with slice of garlic bread. If You're a Pasta Lover, I highly recommend!

If you're craving pasta but don't have time to go to a sit-down Italian restaurant, then this place is for you. The pasta here is delicious and it's better than most restaurants. Here, you can create your own pasta dish and the friendly chefs behind the counter cooks it for you. You get to select the type of sauce, the type of veggies, and the type of protein. Lately we've been ordering the pink sauce (from the secret menu) which is a mixture of the marinara sauce and Alfredo sauce. There's 2 types of marinara sauces: fresh herd (taste sweet like ripe tomatoes) and meaty (taste like Italian sausage). Either one is good.

We ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and Classic Marinara Sauce with Meatball, and they were not only reasonably priced but also served in generous portions. The flavors were absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will be back for sure !

It’s a pleasure to have a family style Italian restaurant in this part of town. I visited a few times and the food and service have been outstanding. The dishes cost about $11 to $13 and you get a decent amount of pasta for one person. I’ve tried their Classic with meatballs and build your own option was delicious. Also don’t sleep on their desserts. Their pistachio cannoli and fruit tarts are freshly made and to die for (they sell out so get em fast). It’s a nice change of pace from all the Asian/Filipino restaurants in the four block radius of Alvarado Blvd and Dyer. This will be my go to for Italian food for a while.
