“Flaming Pasta — La Tijera Blvd, Westchester, Los Angeles

I’ve seen Flaming Pasta on social media several times, so I finally decided to stop by and give it a try. I ordered the Cajun Pasta, which comes with penne pasta, shrimp, bell peppers, and a creamy Cajun sauce that reminded me of Alfredo with a little tomato mixed in.

You can choose your spice level, from no spice to spicy. I went with medium, and the heat was very subtle. You could definitely taste a little kick, but nothing overwhelming. Then again, I’m Mexican, so my tolerance for spicy food might be a little different! 😂

The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious, and the portion was satisfying. Based on the pasta alone, I was impressed. I enjoyed it enough that I plan on coming back to try some of their other pasta dishes.

Now, let's talk about the price and a couple of things that could use improvement. The pasta was around $18, which is a little pricey, but I felt it was worth it. However, they charged me another $3 for what they called garlic bread or garlic toast, and honestly, that was a disappointment. It was basically a piece of toast with hardly any flavor. I couldn't taste garlic, cheese, or much of anything else. Definitely not worth the $3. My advice? Skip the bread altogether!

I also ordered some Kool-Aid, which was good, but come on, it's Kool-Aid. Nothing particularly special there.

One thing to keep in mind is that although this is a quick, casual pasta spot, expect to wait around 20 minutes for your food. Personally, I didn't mind because the pasta was worth the wait.

Overall, I recommend Flaming Pasta if you're craving a delicious bowl of pasta. The Cajun Pasta was flavorful, creamy, and satisfying. Just skip the overpriced garlic toast, and you'll probably walk away happy.

I'll definitely be back for round two! 🍝🔥“

“A small spot right on Venice Beach with about 20 seats—all outdoors, but they have heat lamps, so it’s pretty cozy. Prices are fair for the area at around $ 16 a plate. We showed up at 7 PM, just 30 minutes before closing, but still found a table easily and got served super quickly. The staff was really friendly! As for the pasta, it was okay, but a bit plain and nothing to write home about. Overall, a convenient and affordable option near the beach.“

“I’m a new customer and will absolutely be returning — fed the whole family tonight in one click of a button.

I loved the build-your-own feature because my wife has a gluten allergy and daughter is vegan. Very fresh, thank you.“

“I can’t believe this has lower than a 4.8. Pizzana is the real deal. We just came back from Italy and it’s not too far off from our favorite spot in Italy, truly. The Neo Margherita is our go to, it’s so delicious and not like any other pizza in LA. Their salads are also super fresh and the focaccia is so yummy. Pizzana stays in our rotation and never disappoints.“

“I've been coming to this place for 35 years. Not one thing has changed about their great quality since. If you like old school dining rustic places with full arcadium and salad bar, then you will feel right at home here. Red West is a famous local spot in Wilmington.“

“First time here had the lasagna and it was delicious and so was the bread that comes with it“

“Great Place! I found it by chance, but am very happy I did. Pizza by the Slice, cooked to order, no heat lamps here. excited to try other items on my next stop.“

“Super service and good is great!“
