a la mesa
For over forty years our family has cooked two homelands onto one table, right here in Costa Mesa. We still roll our pasta in-house on the same Cerrini machines, fold every empanada to order, and keep a seat warm for you and yours.
Pull up a chair. You are family here.

An Italian dish and an Argentine one, side by side.
Empanadas & Chimichurri
Crispy outside, savory inside. Beef, ham & cheese, spinach, corn, or chicken. The ones guests call the best in Orange County.

A table that has been here forty years.
Cozy, beachy, and unhurried, a block from the coast on Harbor Blvd. Open from farm-fresh breakfast straight through to a late plate of pasta. Bring the family, bring the dog, bring an appetite.

An Argentine tradition
Gnocchi del 29
In Argentina, you eat gnocchi on the 29th of the month for luck and prosperity. We keep the ritual alive. We serve our ñoquis only on the 29th, so mark the date and come share the table.

Our story
Pasta Connection is my family's story, born right here in Costa Mesa from my father's love of food and culture. For over forty years we have blended Italy and Argentina with a touch of SoCal warmth.Yadira
What guests say
A 40-year neighborhood favorite
As an Argentinian, I can honestly say this is one of the best Argentinian restaurants I've tried in Orange County.
Sofia L. · Yelp
The mix of Italian and Argentinian cuisine is executed perfectly. Authentic empanadas, sandwiches de miga, and generous portions.
Roberto A. · Google
The empanadas are amazing, best ones I've ever had. And their pasta is really good too, made in house.
