Pastalini, San Diego CA

I the here (9 yr review). Brought kids on a lunch out after school. They loved choosing the ingredients and enjoyed he experience (mom’s review).

If you want great food that is fresh with great service this is the place to go. Dine in or take out it’s a win!

I am honestly upset that people reviewed the food here positively. I had a CRAVING for pasta, and so based on 500 or more 4.5 star reviews, I got linguine with red sauce, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms and zucchini with garlic, pepper and chili flakes. My daughter got rigatoni with red sauce and vegetables. I LOVE some nice firm pasta. Whether home made or whether I go to a nice restaurant. The pasta had an awful aftertaste, the vegetables were not well sautéed, the sauce was really just NOT good. Not my daughter’s, not mine. It WAS firm but the TASTE was terrible. The vibe was nice. The two staff members were courteous and knowledgeable. The food was genuinely awful. I have never written a review this bad. I felt like I had to.

It's a hidden gem. My kids love this place. The pasta is very satisfying and ingredients are fresh. Can't ask for more.

I recently ordered the Salmon Caesar Salad for delivery, and it was a disaster. The salmon arrived excessively salty, rendering it unappetizing. The overpowering saltiness of the salmon overshadowed the flavors of the salad, making it hard to enjoy. The salmon is so salty that it is already inedible. I cannot recommend this dish due to its disappointing flavor profile.

Awesome Italian place. Nice servings of pasta and Stromboli. Customizable with a few preset options. Will be coming back

What an awesome place! They have many awesome menu options but what I absolutely loved was that you can make your own pasta, calzone, etc. Such a simple idea and yet the possibilities are endless. Food is prepared quick and fresh personalized for you and it's DELICIOUS!

Surprisingly delicious! Shrimp and calamari calzone, I made the combo up myself, loved the calzone the crust was crisp and flakey
Not oily or dripping with excessive sauce.

It's a build your calzone option which is nice with numerous options of sauces and filling ingredients.

I could pick it up and eat it by hand. Bottle IPA probably exceeded it's shelf life as it had gone skunky. Which shouldn't be the case for a Stone beer from just 20 mile up the freeway, but not so much a critique of the restaurant itself.

The ominous is definitely not why you are stopping here, The decor and furnishings could be easily upgraded, unnecessarily large tables poorly spaced and about the most uncomfortable steel chairs you could possibly find.

Staff was friendly and bubbly, the two working on a slow Saturday afternoon. He took an extra few steps of confirming order details were accurate, which was nice to see.

Definitely worth a run through if you're in the area.

Incredibly fast and good!

Walked here while getting car maintenance done. Great place to get lunch if you're in the area for business!

The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was flavorful! Excellent choice in toppings. Each order comes with a free side of garlic knots!

Similar quick service concept to a Subway. Everything is already cooked. Your bowl is mixed together and quickly fried on a pan to make it warm. No microwave, no soggy noodles! Just a pan fried plate of firm pasta.

Service was friendly and helped with ordering!

Ordered calzones: 3 meat and a vegetarian with sausage and fresh tomatoes. So good! Didn't need the marinara because it was moist inside, but the marinara is VERY good. Used it too! Bread on the calzone was on point! Flavorful alone, but let the flavors of the cazone shine! Will be coming back. Lots of food!

This is a must stop for me every time I pass by.
Every one of my family is picky, so making pasta at home can be difficult. Here. We all get exactly what we want. The products used are good. They are a personable staff. I wish there were more stores. I highly recommend

LOVED this cute little place!
The subway of pasta!
Delicious freshly made everything!

Visiting from another state, took the family here, and everyone loved the food! And we have picky eaters

I came down to San Diego for top surgery & just happened to drive by this super cute little restaurant. The best pasta & service ever! It's so clean & the staff is very friendly. The subway of pastas & I highly recommend you check it out!

Overall amazing experience. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was chillin. The service was great, too. However, there was one employee who walked away while taking my order and started making my pizza, and I still had some toppings I wanted to add to my 10" pizza.

I love this place always fresh and delightful food the pizza I stand with the great crossed and the pastas are amazing and made on the spot! ;
