I have really enjoyed Pasta Mia every time I order out from them. My go to favorite is their Castroville pasta which has artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes with chicken. Tasty and a large portion. Usually have leftovers.

I came to the Pasta Mia at the Northridge mall and got a regular chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. It was very watery and tasteless. No flavor what so ever. Almost tasted frozen. Would not recommend.

Tasteless I can do way better at a fettuccine shrimp. Water down sauce spilled all over the bag. Never again.

Most disgusting pasta I ever ate. the guy who cooked my food wasn't wearing gloves, started coughing then grabs a napkin to cover his mouth. Food was tasteless, runny, no sauce or flavor, and some parts of the food was cold and warm. Never ever again will I eat from that nasty place.

Omg! What an amazing place. The food is beyond great. I love that everything has a latino flair to it. The pasta was cooked perfect, proteins cooked perfect and didn't taste frozen, great customer service. Wow I'm impressed and will be visiting again. Definitely high end food for a mall food court. Oh and great prices.

The food taste really good. I like the Californian pasta entree, blackened chicken fettuccine, my daughter loves their kids meatballs and spaghetti. The food is not dry and rich in flavor.

Excellent food and service! I've been here three times and I have always been very happy with the experience. The sandwiches are wonderful. The outdoor dining is comfortable and clean.

I have never been to the Restaurant before; I get food from Pasta Mia delievered everyday
Thru the Pandemic Food Program. If I had to base their food on what I revd , I would Never Go to this Resturant. Thou Im grateful to have food delivered free of Charge to my home, I'm disappointed by the Quality of the meal and the menu, it makes me feel like Im getting scraps of leftovers, throw carelessly together. Today I decided to check out the Menu on this Site, and yes a Shocking difference.
Im a bedbound disabled person does this matter or should it matter?

We had a very enjoyable time at pasta Mia. There are plenty of vegetarian options and they make their pasta in house;which of course is all incredible bonus. I highly recommend this pastaria for it's flavorful dishes and comfortable atmosphere

Pasta Mía has great service, I love the food and the portions are great! The only thing I would say is order any take out through the phone because if you order through here (Yelp) you are not getting charged the correct fees for the food. The prices on Yelp are much higher than the prices really are on the actual pasta Mia website. I called Hub and they said it was a fee the restaurant gave me for using this system but the restaurant said it was Yelp. So I don't know who it is but the point is don't order through Yelp. I didn't order for delivery, I ordered for take out and somehow

Their outside dinning is amazing!!! The heated lamp kept me warm on this cold-chilly day.

I wasn't sure what wine to have, so I just told the waitress what I liked and she understood me very well. The wine was on point..i'm taking a bottle with me. The shrimp fettuccine was /is delicious. "Ruben, the cook " took time to come out to meet me when he was informed I loved his cooking. thanks Ruben. Your all sweet, sweet like my wine. Thank you Pasta Mia your awesome!!! Orlando was the man that took the time to tell the cook I loved his cooking. Thank you Arlondo. Mary my sweet

Overly salty food, okay decor. High prices.
Left the restaurant with a bad taste in my mouth, the food was not good nor satisfying for the price - way too salty, mediocre flavor (for the price.) The only thing that wasn't unacceptable was the decor. But even this was ruined by a large bright television placed over us.

Let me tell you a story, I like this place.

It's not the New York style pasta place but it's good and decent for the price. I would definitely come here again. You are asking where is the story? Hold on, I'm getting to it.

My wife wanted Pasta, and you know me, I can't disappoint, I recommended this place. She wasn't as excited as I was. Anyways, we order the food, received a price and was a little shock. Think it went something like this, "dang, that's expensive."

Anyways, me being the boss baller, low-key local celebrity as I am, I brushed it off

Very good food, I was amazed at the prices of the pastas when I received my pasta, one bowl can easily serve two people. The flavor of everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. I'm happy there's finally a good pasta spot in the mall area. Will definitely be returning

Service was fast. I called to order and it was ready in under 10 minutes. The staff was awesome. Everyone was really friendly and wearing masks. The food was hot and really good. I rated a 4 because the menu is very limited and their bread sticks are hard enough to crack a tooth. Maybe they microwave them? I don't know, but we also only got one fork in our bag with two to go orders. All around we had a good experience though, so I would get food from here again.

Haven't been here for a while but it did not disappoint. Had the Castroville fusion pasta and it was delicious! Everything was perfectly cooked & seasoned, sauce was thick and delicious. I like that they give a slice of garlic bread with some parmesan cheese to add as a topping.

Came down from San Francisco to visit daughter. Tried the pesto pasta and was not up to expectations. Would not recommend this place for authentic delicious Italian food. 😂
