Everything was phenomenal!
The pasta dishes are outstanding and bring a true taste of Italy to the table. Dining here feels like a little escape, with rich flavors and authentic touches throughout. Easily one of the top spots for Italian food around the Brentwood area.
Such a hidden gem. Fresh handmade pasta. We love the TAGLIATELLE VERDI AL RAGU.
Also super thoughtful decor. Everything from tables to utensils/plates are thoughtfully selected. Lovely ambience. They also apparently sell fresh truffle (we never bought any since we don’t cook truffle at home).

Casa Modena is an Italian restaurant located on the second floor of a small shopping mall in Brentwood. From the outside, it may not seem impressive, but inside, the ambiance is warm and inviting. The decor features reclaimed mid-century Italian kitchen tables, authentic Italian plates on the walls, and various decorative items, including olive oil for sale. The dining area is charming, making customers feel like they are in a local Italian spot.
The food is fresh and tasty, with homemade pasta that is a standout. The lasagne, with its thin layers of pasta, is described as the stuff of dreams. The tortellini with truffles is also highly recommended. While some found the New York strip steak to be just okay, there are plenty of other delicious options. The salmon was reported as a bit overcooked, but the accompanying sauce was very good. Desserts like pannacotta and Italian chocolate cookie are a fantastic way to end the meal.
The wine selection is nice, featuring reasonably-priced options like Sauvignon Blanc and Barbaresco. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff who make great food and wine recommendations, adding to the overall experience. Although the restaurant is not always busy, it has a cozy vibe. Casa Modena is considered a hidden gem that serves authentic Italian food, making it a must-visit for those who appreciate true Italian cuisine. Overall, Casa Modena is a delightful addition to the Italian food scene in LA.
