Recently went to this restaurant with a friend and while her food was delicious, mine was very plain and very undercooked. Disappointed since we had to wait almost an hour for a table. Otherwise, the service was excellent and the overall vibe was super warm and inviting.

We heard about Colapasta from our Uber driver right after we landed at LAX, so that got us excited and looking forward to some good pasta—and they didn’t let us down! We got there around 7:30 on a Saturday night, so it was packed like people said, and we waited about 45 minutes. But honestly, it was so worth it. The service was quick once we got seated, the food was amazing—probably one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The vibe was nice and relaxed, and I loved how everything was presented. Definitely coming back next time I’m in Santa Monica!

It's tough for me to not give this spot a 5 after having tasty food, great service, good vibes, and fair pricing for food. I came for dinner on a weekday evening and got seated very quickly, and our servers were super friendly. The vibes are also real great - super relaxed and I didn't feel weird in casual clothes.
My friends got lasagna and I went with the veneto, which is a squid ink pasta. My food was delicious, but I was really hungry, and there was not much pasta on that plate (especially for the $24 price tag). However, the lasagna my friends got was cheaper, tasty, and had a good portion.
A great spot, but don't come in starving if you want to be full by the end.

Best pasta I had recently! We ordered ravioli and bucatini. Both were great especially ravioli! I would definitely go there again.

We waited 45 minutes while they said 20 minutes. Insalata del Contadino con Condimento Tradizionale contains only lettuce with 2 nano liters of dressing. The pastas we had were eatable. Our drinks came at the end of the dinner after asking 3 times.

This is a review by an Italian at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. The restaurant is in the heart of the city, a stone's throw from the shopping streets. The welcome is kind and the place has warm lights and a very well-attended environment. The cuisine is excellent. The pasta is as good as in Italy. Well done! Italian flavors on the Pacific coast
amazing cozy little place - food was fantastic and service was even better. i had the beet ravioli and it was delicious, the chef even came out and poured the brown butter on right in front of me! my server was so sweet as well and had great recs ♡

CORN SOUP IS AMAZING!!! Tomato pasta was my favorite besides soup. This pasta kept the sause between the noodle. Truffle something pasta was great for the first sip. Later on it can be too cheesy and greasy(+ personally I don’t like truffle) Ink pasta was great before mixed it cuz they have anchovy inside:(
Anyway it was nice experience and I love the noodles(pasta) so I wanna try another menus!!

Humility, quality, and deep tradition make this little gem truly unique in the rich melting pot that is L.A. As someone born and raised in Italy, I was genuinely surprised—and I can say without a doubt that this was the best pasta dinner I’ve had in my 12 years living in the States. And a tip: be sure to order the focaccia (it’s not on the menu) so you can savor every last bit of sauce with a proper scarpetta. This pasta deserves it!
Beautiful place. Delicious food. Arrive early to avoid waiting too long. You can notice that the pasta was made there and the sauces were delicious. The bread was also good. Salads were the perfect complement. The wine was well recommended by the waiter. The decoration was very nice.
