Pasta King

Pasta King has been serving authentic Italian comfort food to Cotati locals and wine country visitors for years, earning a devoted following with their commitment to fresh, handmade pasta and traditional recipes. This unassuming gem proves that exceptional Italian cuisine doesn’t need fancy frills – just quality ingredients and time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

The menu showcases classic Italian favorites alongside creative seasonal offerings, with house-made pasta taking center stage. Their signature lasagna layers rich meat sauce with creamy béchamel and fresh ricotta, while the fettuccine Alfredo is prepared tableside with imported Parmigiano-Reggiano. Don’t miss their rotating selection of stuffed ravioli, featuring seasonal fillings like butternut squash in fall and fresh spinach with ricotta year-round.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between casual and welcoming, with checkered tablecloths, warm lighting, and the comforting aroma of garlic and herbs filling the air. Families gather around large tables while couples enjoy intimate dinners, creating a lively yet relaxed dining environment that feels authentically Italian. The open kitchen allows guests to watch pasta being rolled and shaped by hand throughout the evening.

Whether you’re exploring Sonoma County’s wine trails or seeking a satisfying meal after a day in nearby Sebastopol, Pasta King delivers genuine Italian hospitality without pretension. The generous portions, reasonable prices, and consistently excellent food make it a perfect spot for anyone craving soul-warming comfort food in the heart of wine country.
