Great place for pasta. We had the classic spaghetti with meatball as well as an order of lasagna. Both came with a toasty piece of garlic bread. The sauce was just the way we like it... classic full flavored and not overwhelming on any flavor note.

Unless you're getting something like lobster ravioli with a squid ink and a balsamic reduction, pasta is a SIMPLE, supremely tasty comfort food. That's it. This was great, delicious, inexpensive comfort food served in a very pleasant cafe by an efficient and very nice staff. Loved it. This will now be my go-to place for good, solid pasta and pizza. Great value Wish I could give it another star.

I was looking for some pizza and stopped in this place. The hotel recommended them for pasta but told me their pizza was ok but suggested another spot. Since I’m just in town for the night I saw them and didn’t want to drive any further so I chanced it. I ordered a Pepperoni & Mushroom Pizza and asked for xtra red sauce on it and a Spring salad with vinaigrette & oil dressing. The pizza barely had any sauce as you can see in the pictures and the Spring salad was Swimming in dressing. Although I wouldn’t recommend this place for either items, the Pasta I saw being served looked fabulous. If I go back it will be to try the pasta.

Taste bud magic!!! Lasagna, recommendation spot on, Penne with Sausage and a pepperoni pizza all for $34.00. High Class taste buds for economic price. Don't let the prices fool you. Italian music makes the atmosphere fun!! "Good Food, Good Loving, Forget About it"!

This is an amazing place to find delicious food at a reasonable price. You can choose your pasta, sauce, and other toppings I highly recommend adding the garlic toast. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area. Fast service with hot, yummy food!!

Italian fast food chain. Pizzas are respectable but not inspirational. Definitely good if you're in a rush and have a hankerin' for Italian pasta or pies. Interior has a pleasant, fast-food kinda vibe that is low-key. Popular at lunchtime.

Environment was cool. Food portions are small and mostly sauce. Garlic bread was good. The service was quick. Sauce is watery probably from the noodles .

Chicken Parm was very flavorful and tasty. Could have used a thicker sauce. Garlic bread was so good! Very quick service and good price. Satisfied for sure

Fast food pasta that tastes better than most restaurants. They run a tight ship with tasty Italian dishes and an efficient service process. You do some of the work like ordering at the register and filling your own drink so it is not quite full service. A popular dish and one of our favorites is the shrimp piccata with fettuccine. They have a healthy take out business so phone in your order and pick it up in a flash. I like this place to get my IItalian comfort food fix.

This place is such a pleasant surprise. Had no idea fast food Italian could taste like a sit down fancy pants place.

I absolutely love presto pasta and is one of my favorite pasta places in Santa Barbara. Would give it a 5/5 if it wasn’t for the bread. Not a fan. Needs to be toasted on both sides or something. Staff is nice, good seating arrangements inside.

I got mozzarella sticks and shrimp scampi with marinara sauce. I COULD TELL MY FOOD WAS MISHANDLED. MY CHEESE IN MY MOZZ STICKS TASTED LIKE RAW SHRIMP SCAMPI...ALSO SMELLED LIKE IT. THAT MEANS THAT WHOEVER FIXED MY SHRIMP SCAMPI DROPPED THE SCAMPI IN THE SKILLET AND WITHOUT WASHING THEIR HANDS THEY STARTED CUTTING THE CHEESE FOR MY MOD STICKS. ATTN: MOD STICKS ARE NOT COOKED LONG ENOUGH TO KILL GERMS AND CROSS CONTAMINATION SO YOU MUST WASH YOUR HAND AFTER TASK....,... THAT SOUND FAMILIAR???

Its good & cheap italian food. Portions are big as well. A great place to eat if you are not looking to spend a lot of money to eat Italian.

Nice selection of Italian pastas and pizzas. Great ambiance and friendly staff. The portions are generous and it won't break the bank. Great option for a casual dinner.

Terrible! Just picked up a Togo, pasta carbonara no onions (allergies) add chicken…pretty sure they gave me a canceled order. Was handed to me in 5 mins, was cold and the sauce had coagulated (think it was smothered it in Alfredo) had Onions! And no chicken. Just terrible

Never been.but today I learned why it's popular. Good service.great food.good prices too.

Great place for a quick and budget-friendly meal. The service was incredibly quick and friendly, and I can confidently say this place lives up to its name. The pasta carbonara I ordered was quite good, but the standout was the garlic bread. For just 99 cents you get a slice of some of the best garlic bread out there!

The ravioli with marinara creme was absolutely delicious! I was very impressed with their Minestrone soup, very flavorful and authentic. Highly recommend!! Many delicious options for all!

The staff is racist, only if your white... it's gross to know that racism is LIVE in America...we were served plastic Parmesan containers ..when the table next to us had glass ware/the waitress Evelyn laughed at us for asking ..she is very clueless and will fail in real life where goodness and kindness is core to any sustainable business. Evalyn (waitress/cashier) wanted to escalate the conversation into an argument, which she is entitled to but she'll lose a paycheck and a repeat customer. I'm fascinated in America, we are served substandard service based on the color of our skin.

The food is delicious and the portions are a good size! The only place in Santa Barbara that I will go for pasta! It's a cozy atmosphere and overall a good vibe and restaurant!

For the first time we ordered a Uber eats delivery from Presto pasta.. Awesome quality, pricing and delivery. Definitely a repeat!

Good sized portion for $9.95. Overall taste was excellent. Great location on upper state and fun vibe. Highly recommend for an early, tasty, affordable dinner before going out downtown!

1st time here. Shrimp scampi was hot, fresh & good amount. Could have been few more shrimp but flavors were good. Will be back.

Love Presto Pasta. Especially enjoy their Chicken Piccatta and Shrimp Scampi. Portions are large for what you pay for. Ambience is more of a fast casual restaurant than an upscale restaurant, which is fine as the price point matches. Also appreciate how they stay open fairly late on a daily basis. It's a 5/5 for me.

I pick up orders for delivery and tonight I was a customer and ordered for myself. Polite and knowledgeable help. Would recommend to all. The shrimp Alfredo is very tasty!

A very strange fast food Italian chain... The staff is friendly but the food is strange, such as the chicken parmesan being less chicken and more nugget. It's not bad food; just really processed. In my opinion (my messed up twisted opinion), Italian food is really something that can't be made in massive vasts and should be enjoyed at small owned places. Maybe I'm dumb for being an American that doesn't want the McDonald's version of Italian

So bomb just like when I was a kid! A friend was talking about this restaurant so I just had too! I got the create my own. Cajun Alfredo, Sausage, shrimp and mushrooms. So good!

The BEST Family place to eat in Santa Barbara. The most delicious Italian food with Beautiful people working their hearts out with Great respect and EXCELLENT customer Service. A testimony of why they have been in businesses for so long. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The food was delicious, reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly.

I Never usually eat Red sauce that I or someone I know didn't make. But the red sauce here is excellent. The Chicken Parma is great and a very generous serving. The Pizza is also excellent. Albert who owns the place is a real Italian and knows quality. Another place when in the most over rated(but very pretty) city in America you have to eat at. Great prices, good food. what's not to like? Plus it's far from State Street which is now more than ever over run with miscreants.
