This small pasta restaurant is very very delicious and has amazing pastas! We enjoyed an Alfredo pasta with chicken and the chorizo shrimp vodka a la pasta . The servings are huge I feel like we could've shared one order. Unless you're really hungry ! It's fast and traditional tasting Italian. They serve a type of bread that was good. I didn't eat a lot of it but it was tasty with the olive oil and vinegar. If you're in the area come on by its minutes from the 210 freeway

I ordered the gnocchi with the pesto sauce. I was happy to hear the gnocchi was hand made. It's all made in house. The focaccia bread was very good! The service was very good, a very nice young man helped us.

Great furniture and delicious food! Staff was nice and inviting. Would come here again!
We had the Italian cold cut sandwich and meatball sub. The Italian: bread was good and meat was good but it was a bit boring. The only condiment offered was mayo. No lettuce, tomato nothing. I brought it home and I will doctor it up. The meatballs were tough. I can only comment on these 2 items and they were pricey. Most of the items were pricey. The atmosphere was nice enough, but the music was way too loud and it was difficult to hear what was being said. There is not a lot of seating but we were there about 5 pm and initially we were the only ones in there. An associate needs to remember to wipe the tables down after people leave as there were crumbs on the two we looked at. Id be interested in trying the pasta, but at about $24, I think I'll pass.

Just tried this place on July 31st for the first time. Being Italian with good cooks in my family, I have generally high expectations for pasta dishes. Pinwheel pasta however did not disappoint! I was really impressed with the quality of the Pasta & Sauce that I ordered (Tagliatelle with simple Pomodoro Sauce). The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente & the tomato sauce was fresh with a great tomato aroma. The accompanying Foccacia bread was also very good. I thought the portion of the pasta may be small for the price when I first saw it, but in all honestly it is more than it seems & is quite filling. I couldn't finish it! I also ordered the Tiramisu to try as a dessert & WOW that really was the bomb! Authentic mascarpone cream cheese with cocoa dusting- it was really good & fresh! And the Staff were also Great- very friendly, happy & treated the customer well! I will be coming back for sure to try the other pasta combinations! Thanks!

Pinwheel Pasta is the newest addition to the Italian inspired California cuisine scene in Rancho Cucamonga. While the restaurant boasts a formal atmosphere and excellent service, the food quality leaves much to be desired.
The menu at Pinwheel Pasta features a variety of dishes, but unfortunately, the prices are quite steep for what is ultimately average fare. Moreover, the menu is quite confusing for those who are not familiar with Italian cuisine. They make their pastas from scratch right in front of you. But the flavors are lacking in depth and the presentation is underwhelming.
On a positive note, the staff at Pinwheel Pasta is attentive and friendly, providing a pleasant dining experience. However, the overall dining experience is overshadowed by the lackluster food quality.
In conclusion, while Pinwheel Pasta may have potential, it falls short in delivering a truly exceptional dining experience. If you are looking for high-quality Italian inspired cuisine, you may want to look elsewhere.

I placed an online order on Friday 6/28 so my husband could pick up our dinner on his way home from work. It was around 3:45pm and the earliest pick up time would be 4:30 PM. Because it was our first time ordering from them, I wasn't sure what the portion sizes would be. Based on the photos, it was hard to tell. It took a while for us to try this place as I've been hearing mixed reviews, more positive than negative though.
I order the Spaghetti and Meatballs ($20.00) for my husband and I got the Bolognese with Rigatoni and added a meatball ($19.50). My husband wanted a salad too so I got the Caesar Salad and added chicken ($18.00).
With tax, the total came out to $61.96. I'm thinking to myself that two pasta dishes and a salad came out to over $60, well this better be good.
My husband arrived there around 4:15 PM. He told the staff that he was there. Nobody had looked at our ticket yet and had not started on our order. They told him to come back in 15 minutes. He said there there was only one other person in there, and they had some seating inside. He ends up going to the store next door and bought some beverages. He came back at 4:35 PM and our order was not ready. The salad was what was lagging which was the last item that needed to be packed up so he had to wait an additional 10 minutes. Both of our orders came with focaccia.
When he got home, the pasta dishes were still hot. I was only able to eat about 70% of my pasta, some salad, and two pieces of focaccia before I was absolutely full. The Bolognese had plenty of meat in it already so I did not have to add the additional meatball. My husband originally thought his spaghetti was bland, but realized all the flavor was in the meatballs. He had to take a break from eating, but about 30 minutes later, he went back to the fridge and finished all the rest of the food. HAHA.
I was actually impressed with the focaccia, loved the texture, and so good with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
They have some outdoor seating so when the weather is nicer, we were thinking of eating out there with our dogs. Overall, the price was quite high, but the next time I don't think we would get the salad again. I may try one of their sandwiches next time as I've been hearing positive feedback from folks about it.

We borrowed the restroom today. Emergency, you know? Even though we didn’t purchase, the staff were amazingly friendly, biding us a good day.
We will definitely come back and try their goodies ?
Woah woah woah pushing their huge door open feels like a going into a little castle.

Me and my delightful family went to this restaurant. the service was exceptional and didn't take as long as it would normally, but on the other half the food wasn't that good at least to me it tastes is always an opinion but it was bad to my standards. On the other hand the atmosphere was great and gave me jamba juice vibes I loved it. It was clean spacious and pretty which is why I chose 4 stars
Wheelchair accessibility: There is only one low table but it's the only place you can the others are to high

The vibe was nice and casual. The service was great. I wish the bread they used for the Porchetta sandwich was less toasted and rubbery. I had a similar sandwich from an Argentina restaurant, and their bread was soft and warm on the inside but crunchy on the outside.
