Pasto Italiano Restaurant & Bar

Stumbled upon this place this evening. Don’t let the strip center setting fool you. Nice atmosphere, amazing food, great wine and wonderful service. Highly recommend.

Excellent food & service. They don't have pasta with red clam sauce on the menu but they made it for me upon request. Absolutely delicious!

Outstanding meal. They accommodated our large group and the food and service was exceptional. We'll be back for sure.

A couple family members and I decided on Pasto Italiano for dinner. The entrance had a nice patio and was fairly well labeled. We entered to a nearly empty dining room. This was surprising, as I was expecting a restaurant with only 5-star ratings to be packed at dinner. We started with bread, calamari, and salads. I enjoyed the appetizers, but the calamari felt a little chewy for my preference. The sauce and banana peppers on the calamari were good. For the main meal, we ordered Parmesan chicken, penne pasta with vodka cream sauce, and shrimp risotto with iced teas to drink. Everything looked good and our orders were correct. There were only a few mentions of improvements to the food. The first was that the pasta with the Parmesan chicken was too buttery and the second was that the vodka cream sauce was very bland. I also noted that the iced tea had an odd taste like it was bottled instant mix or was from the soda fountain. The service was average, only getting refills once my drink was completely empty. Overall, not a bad meal but I left unimpressed. The bill for three people was a steep $100, which did not match the more casual food and ambiance. Next time I'm in the mood for Italian food, I may look elsewhere before returning here.

It was delicious and the owner took the time to introduce himself on a busy Saturday night! I ordered the vegetarian pasta and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Had a couple glasses of Moscato for dessert, so tasty! Would definitely recommend!
