Pasta Fresca

Oh my gosh! Delicious. Spaghetti with Shrimp, Chicken, and Sausage. Lots of flavor. This is a must try! I went on a Tuesday afternoon. The place wasn't too busy. The market is small and cozy. I was a little hesitant at first but it did not disappoint.

oops forgot to take a picture before eating located in San Pedro, across from the pizzapasta always seems fresh & chewy the lunch specials are much better bang for your buck - includes a drink and two pieces of garlic breadchicken comes w a lot of skinsausage is just standard lunchables esque sausage lol , not Italian sausage kinda greasy but it works - I make sure to take a lactaid firstas gen z would say: pretty mid

Took my younger cousins here because they were craving pasta, and for what we got, I would say it's better to just make your own pasta at home. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait.We paid over $50 for two pastas with garlic bread. One of my cousins got the shrimp fettuccine alfredo, and my other cousin got the fettuccine alfredo with chicken. The food was served on black plastic plates. It was sad-looking white sauce and noodles. The flavor and presentation of the pastas was lackluster. It could use more salt. The shrimp was cooked well. My kid cousin didn't like the garlic bread; he took one bite and stopped eating. It wasn't the worst, but it could be softer, fluffier, and more flavorful.I'd pass on this one.

Really upset at the service. I chose a table nearby (there are only two in the corner). I'm not usually very picky about service unless it's overtly hostile.The chef had my name on the order since I ordered at the kiosk and not at the counter, which is when they give you a restaurant pager for pick up. He didn't call me by name, knowing I was sitting right across from him. When another person came to pick up their order with a pager, he let it ring as if he didn't hear it for maybe 5-10 minutes. I came over and asked him to shut it off. As I continued my meal, another person picked up their order and dropped off another pager. He let this one ring as well. I had to take my food over to Voyager Coffee. It's not an if, it's truly that he didn't want me watching him cook.Ain't that something. I wonder what it is that he's doing that he's so worried about an observing customer hmmm?PS - I got a $45 ticket in order to write this review. That's how serious this is.

This is in the back of the market and could be missed - but shouodnt because it has some delicious Italian flavors! They have house made sauces and I love the red sauce. I got the chicken parm which wasn't dry and was crispy. The pasta even had some veggies in it. Pasta was a little mushy but overall pretty good. The Garlic doesn't have any garlic flavor but isn't bad tasting, it's probably toasted in olive oil. You have to order on a kiosk but the chef was quick to work on my order as soon as we submitted it. Nah too much of an Italian ambiance to it but it does sell the sauce so that's a plus!

Stopped by before a sporting event. I haven't been in a long time so seeing how busy this place was on a Friday afternoon was great. Pasta Fresca was my choice and glad I went! Their pasta is cooked fresh in front of you. I enjoyed seeing the cooking process so this was a treat. The pesto pasta was really wonderful. I could order this again next I go. The side salad was good; however, I would ask next time that the dressing be served on the side. It was tossed really well but I'd probably go with much less if self-served. Enjoy seating anywhere throughout the Market. We went over towards the beer hall, grabbed a brewski and enjoyed our email.

How anyone can eat here and give this place anything but 5 stars is beyond me. Incredible. 7/5 stars. I love this place to the moon and back. The pasta is freshly made and you can tell. It's soft and cooked perfectly. I had the bolognese, which was like your classic bolognese, but so much better. The tangy parmesan was the perfect addition to all of the dishes. I'll be honest, I shed a few tears writing this review and thinking back on this place. It was really that good.

Got the shrimp alfredo on a Saturday evening. The fettuccine pasta was cooked just fine, but the sauce and shrimp were slightly bland, creamy sure but not buttery nor cheesy... seriously for $20, I think they could add some salt or pepper, maybe some garlic, a little more of anything to enhance the taste... maybe it was an off day?!? On the bright side, there was no wait to order at the front kiosks and my food was ready in less than 10 minutes, served piping hot. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they now offer free parking for the first 1.5 hours at the garage across the street from San Pedro Square Market.

Chicken Parmesan is the best!!! They can modify the recipe to make it with Chipotle sauce as well.

TLDR: Great Chicken ParmigianaI know we didn't have much time before our TSO concert, so I thought we would re-visit San Pedro Market again. Maybe there's some new restaurant that looks interesting? I'm pretty much fine with any food court fare; my wife... is a little bit pickier. After perusing BOTH buildings, she "settled" on this place. It's in quotes, because to our surprise, it was settling at all!The chicken was amazingly NOT dry at all! It was crunchy on the outside, but tender on the inside. The pasta was cooked al-dente, just the way I like it, although my wife would prefer a bit more mushier. Yeah, she's an odd duck. In a nod to being unique ( and perhaps a way to get you to eat more veggies!) , the chef included some nice squash, some broccoli, and peas.... Well, I could do without the last one.For the price, $20, it's a bit pricey... but you have to factor in the location (Downtown) and for the quality, it's actually a decent meal.
