Hands down to the Chef....
This place gets a A+ review. The food is delicious and makes the Olive Garden food taste imitation.
The food is made to order, the flavors are delicious. Tour of Italy was my favorite dish but the chicken parmesan sandwich was delicious as well. Im sure all food is delicious 😋
Service was excellent.
Only down part is the restaurant is small for a big party but there is nothing wrong with take out for big parties.
Definitely coming back.....

Very Pricey for 3 people to eat but Food was great, large and filling portions. Due to the time we went they were out of Garlic knots. Kinda sad about that. I like garlic bread with pasta! Place only has 3 tables. They could do a little new year's cleaning and get rid of the cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and dust around the walls and window seals, But if you don't mind that, food was great....

So good! The food was EXCELLENT! Everything home made, no cans all fresh! I met the owner and the person preppingand they were FLYING to meet all the orders and we never felt neglected. They were very attentive and generous. I had already taken a couple bites before it occurred to me to send a pic to my wife!
We're going again! 40 minute drive one way and it was so worth it!

I forgot all about Pasta 209! Used them during Covid. Was wanting that hot meal… Lasagna…Once again awesome meal!! Thank you!!
Food was great. Seating area not so great, need some tables for 2 people if possible. I've noticed the chef doesn't like critiques, be it good or bad. When making a suggestion, refused to listen. Could have been better for his business if he took time to listen to customers.

First off, let me say that hands down, the food here is absolutely delicious. As a self-proclaimed food snob when it comes to Italian cuisine (I've had the pleasure of dining in Italy), I can confidently say that this place ranks just below Tony's in San Francisco. Those are really the only two spots I’ll go to for authentic Italian fare.
However, on September 9th, I reached out to confirm if they would be open on Saturday, the 27th, at noon. I received a response confirming their hours from 11 AM to 7 PM. So, yesterday, three of us drove separately, all coming from an hour away, eagerly anticipating a great lunch. When we arrived at five minutes to noon, the restaurant was closed. Optimistically, we waited about 15 minutes, hoping they would open, but ultimately left disappointed.
As a bodybuilder who only gets one free meal per week, the hangry in me was bodybuilding hangry yesterday! I had a nagging feeling that morning something might be off, especially since I had noticed their Instagram bio had removed their hours and phone number. A quick check on Google Maps indicated they wouldn’t open until 3 PM. When I messaged the chef-owner about our experience, he explained he had an emergency and that staff would arrive at 3 PM. While I understand emergencies happen, I can’t help but feel this was an excuse. Given the discrepancies in the hours listed online and what I was told, it seems like there was a lack of communication about their actual availability.
Over the past year, it feels like this place has become increasingly inconsistent with its hours. They’ve gone from being open six days a week to five, then only for lunch deliveries, and now it’s a real hit or miss. It’s disheartening because the food is so good. I had plans for November with friends from over an hour away, but now I’m left scrambling to change those arrangements.
Pasta 209 has so much potential, and it would be a shame to see it falter due to these ongoing issues. I hope they can get their scheduling sorted out because I would love to return for that amazing food.

The place is a gem! The food is always perfect. Taste every bit of care and love in the food. From the fresh bread to the pasta.

I have been following them on social media for a while now and had finally planned to visit them next week for my birthday when I saw they’ll be publicly closing. That being said I made time to come down (I live 1 hour away) to try it before they close and I can say that it is 100% worth it. Overall so delicious and so many layers of textures and flavors. 10/10. Can’t wait to see what they have in store.

Have enjoyed this place several times. It has never disappointed. It's a small location, I have only had it to go. The owner has ALWAYS been nice. The food is good in my opinion. I have tried several different pastas from them and they are ALWAYS good. Some small restaurants you go to the owners aren't front of house like he is. It's nice to have tasty food made by people that take pride in what they do and are welcoming to their customers. I recommend pasta 209 to anyone that has a craving for tasty pasta. They have pizza too, I haven't tried it yet, but I saw a couple eating at the restaurant and it looked and smelled tasty.
