I'm a local resident but for some reason I missed this joy for years.

If thinking about meal pricing, believe me, affordable.

Can I give them 10 stars. I had been coming here for years, then I moved. Then moved back. I had heard that ownership changed, unlike most ownership changes this one did not disappoint. The food (linguine in clam sauce), is my go TO and it's AMAZING!!!! Food is amazing, portions are amazing. Nothing left to say, treat yourself, and / or your family. It's a definite 5 star plus. Well done!!!

We recently came to Pasta Connection for Breakfast. Though its an odd combo of Italian & Argentinian food, the breakfast menu was great! My wife & I got omelets, and the kids got the pancake combos. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere & service were great as well. Though the name is Pasta Connection, go here for the breakfast!!!

Im from Utah and anytime I’m in California I always come here for the entraña and fettuccini Alfredo, the best steak and pasta I’ve ever had. Their bread at the being is warm and delicious, the service was very nice and genuine, I love the atmosphere as it’s cozy and elegant.

This is our new favorite restaurant. Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Family owned and been there since ‘83. Staff is friendly with large portions leaving you very satisfied. The food tastes out of this world making you wonder how they do it. Highly recommended! Go see James.

I’m 5 months pregnant and work in healthcare, so after a long shift, I was really looking forward to picking up dinner from Pasta Connection—one of my longtime favorites. I scheduled a pizza pickup for 5:05 PM. My husband and I arrived on time, and when it wasn’t quite ready yet (no big deal), we politely asked if we could wait on the patio.
The pizza didn’t come out until 5:45, and when it finally did, a waitress came out with major attitude and told us rudely that if we planned to sit and eat, we “should’ve called.” That was never our plan—we were just waiting for our order. My husband calmly let another staff member know we were only waiting for the pizza and weren’t sure why she was being snippy.
Instead of owning it, the waitress gave a half-hearted apology and rolled her eyes at me. Super unprofessional. We still left a decent tip out of respect for the other staff, but we will not be returning. Really sad, because we’ve loved this place for years—but I won’t support a business that treats loyal customers this way.

Unfortunately, not great. They only have meat for people with celiac disease
The meat is amazing but the portions are too small. I had to go back home to cook a full dinner and eat again.
It's kind of hard to find really good quality and authentic Italian-Argentine restaurants and markets in southern California but this place hits the spot. Especially with the pasta, empanadas and sandwiches de miga, the food is authentic and delicious, and you always experience a great atmosphere with good service here.
