I ordered a seafood pasta and chose a rich, silky Alfredo sauce in place of the usual tomato. I ended the meal with their caramel custard, which was smooth and satisfying. A wonderful dining experience overall.

We’ve been wanting to dine here for years and I finally convinced the wife to go! We were impressed with the restaurant upon arrival as the dining area was decorated with Christmas lights, trees, and holiday themed items. We were served by Sarahi and she took great care of us! We ordered their house bread, Caprese salad, mushroom ravioli, and their large meat pizza. We got a large bottle of Saratoga sparking water. The pace of our food coming out was on point, Sarahi checked on us regularly to make sure all was going well. LOVED: Caprese (plenty of fresh mozzarella cheese & tomatoes), and mushroom ravioli. LIKED: meat pizza (tasty but Italgo is called a pasta bar for a reason, it won’t threaten to put a pizza house out of business) but it was reasonable, fresh, served hot, and was tasty enough to order again. We loved the food but loved the service, prices, and ambiance more! Oh, they also have private parking in the back and the restaurant is accessible from the rear of the building. If you live in the South Bay area, IPB is a place you should try if you’re a fan of Italian food…

A little hidden gem in Chula Vista that serves high-quality tasty Italian pasta at reasonable prices. Save yourself the trip to little Italy in downtown and visit this restaurant it’s much better. The walls are filled with cute art deco pieces and the atmosphere is cozy. We stopped by for lunch and ordered a variety of pasta dishes while sipping on white sangria. If your a fan of Italian soda there are different flavors to try just ask the server. There was also plenty of seating for large parties. Make sure to try their homemade bread!

We’ve been going about 2 times a week for years. I don’t know how they do it. Everything is really good. Their vegetarian pizza is the best pizza in town. Their clam chowder is made from scratch. Their burrata salad is so good. And fresh baked bread….yum! Waiters and waitresses and the chef are so friendly.

It’s pretty good, I’ve ordered a seafood pasta. Switched it with a very creamy alfredo sauce instead of tomato. And then finished it with their homemade crème brûlée for dessert. They didn’t refill my drink tho and was waiting for water, but I’m sure they would’ve if I ask since the servers are very nice.

My women’s book club recently decided to dine at this restaurant, as two of our members had previously visited and left positive reviews. We arrived last night around 5pm. on a Tuesday. It took some time for our server to acknowledge us and bring our waters. For our meal, three of us ordered salads—one with salmon, one with chicken and dressing on the side—and three orders of various pastas served with home-style bread. The food was generally enjoyable, though I found my salmon portion to be slightly overcooked and dry. When it was time to settle the bill, we asked if it could be split. Unfortunately, the server said she could not do so, explaining that we should have requested this when ordering. She also mentioned she was quite busy, being the only server on the floor, which might explain the limited check-ins during our meal. She pointed out that one of the ladies did not ask for the dressing on the side and also noted that the restaurant does not typically provide free cake or desserts for birthdays. Overall, while the experience was pleasant enough, we might consider trying other options in the future. Additionally, parking is limited to street parking. No, I will not be coming back or recommending this place.

Went in for a late lunch on a Friday, it wasn’t pack. I wanted to take my fiance here to try it, and it didn’t disappoint. He really like his chicken plate, and I thought the salmon was very good. The staff was attentive and friendly. Food didn’t take to long. They have vegetarian options. The food was very good. The restaurant itself is between some closed down businesses, so it is easy to overlook it, but food is so much better than the Olive Garden down the street.

They had us at “the homemade soft, fluffy & exotic bread!”. The main course “Pollo” was exquisite but the tomato soup should have basil in it. Ribeye was huge for only $38, tender and wow with the also big & perfectly prepared asparagus. Customer service is always excellent. Definitely recommend

We have been here many times. Always had excellent service and food dishes. If you are looking for an Alternative pasta restaurant, well this is the place! Don’t forget to order the bread with balsamic and olive oil dipping sauce.
