The pasta looked more like gnocci and wasn’t tasty at all. We feld kind of noxious after eating a few bites didn’t finish the dish. The icewater tasted like chlorine too, 60 bucks down the drain. Edit: my girlfriend actually got sick

They didn't have any gluten free options for pizza or pasta. The salad I had was good.

Terrible pasta !Ordered “Garlic chicken pasta”Over cooked and cold , the sauce is thick and far from being smooth and silky , it had almost a consistency of a pudding, cheap olive oil used , hardly recognizable garlic smell or taste, and non of the ingredients used left a good impression.The only good thing about this place was the waiter , he was super friendly.

Pesto pasta was a little cold for my taste. Almost no flavor other than bassil. The meatball and sausage was very good. The alfreso pasta was very poor in flavor too but with the meatball and sausage was eatable. Overall was good for the price. Soup was good but now sure if rushed.

Horrible service waited for about 25 minutes. And then they gave my table to someone else who had no reservations right in front of me.Did not eat there because they had four empty tables and still did not sit us.I hate to see this as a Coronado
Other than an excellent glass of pinot noir, and a neat table for one with a view of the street, my dinner at Island Pasta was a huge disappointment. Garlic bread had an overpowering garlic taste to it. My entree, Garlic Chicken, was mediocre. The fettucine noodles were starchy and undercooked, the sauce (supposedly garlic/white wine with light cream) tasted more like thickened chicken soup and I only had a few slices of mushrooms in the entire dish. Honestly, the Lean Cuisine Chicken Fetucine is better than what I had. It wasn't nice and hot either, and I was never offered any parmesan. I had to make multiple requests for a mid-dinner glass of water, and the server never once inquired as to the quality of my food or if I needed anything else. While I was pretty well ignored, the server was quite attentive to the table of three young women next to me. Once the bill was delivered, the server completely disappeared. I finally took the bill up to the bar to pay, where I waited some more. My mention of the terrible service brought absolutely no response from the bartender and it was difficult to even get a pen that actually worked to sign the receipt. I should have stuck with my original plan and gone to Panera - I probably would have had better food and better service at about 1/2 the price.

Yall, I kid you not, I went to this restaurant about a year ago. And I just had to come back and share how TERRIBLE everything is. I genuinely cannot forget it!TERRIBLE SERVICESOGGY FOOD"AUTHENTIC" - LY FLAVORLESSPlease do yourself a favor and don't spend a fortune in this terrible place. The waitresses don't care, they deem you not worthy and don't bother serving you.And let me tell you about the decor OH LORD, looks like they thrifted everything the my thought looked "italian" but honestly gives me ?? energy.

We ordered to go. Most of the food was fantastic but the shrimp scampi was not good. It was full of water so it was so soupy and flavourless and because there was so much water it made the pasta soggy. The container was a quarter of the way full of just water.
