Pasta Restaurants near Santa Monica, CA

“I frequented this establishment almost weekly while growing up, and it set a standard I have yet to encounter since relocating from California. The quality, consistency, and overall experience remain unmatched, to the extent that I would seriously consider returning solely for proximity to this location.“

“Absolutely loved Rosti Tuscan Kitchen! The waiter was super friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and perfect, and the food is incredible. I had the spinach ravioli, it was amazing it was fresh, flavorful, and just perfect. Definitely coming back!“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“Food is bomb ! (plain Fettuccine Alfredo).Service although a bit unorganized - it reminded me of a Three Stooges clip; lol smh however it was very surprisingly pleasant very attentive and pretty accommodating...my ONLY real criticisms are for the prices which are good, however as a courtesy they could include a complimentary piece of garlic bread with the meal ; also the Kool Aid could have used a bit more sugar other than those two small suggestions I really enjoyed the food and service !“

“Might be the best Lasagna I’ve ever had! Food was amazing and the staff was awesome!! Definitely will be a permanent stop each time I’m in LA.“

“Wow! I didn’t expect such good pasta from a ghost kitchen. The garlics bread was not bad at all either. What surprised me more was their commitment to not using any seed oil! Is this real? Has this day finally arrived that Americans finally understood what “healthy” means?! I’m eating delicious shrimp pasta that doesn’t come in a slob of overpowering and greasy sauce made with bad oil, at this price point, of this portion. on the west side, AND with delivery under 30 mins?! Im grateful you guys exists 🙏

The only thing I could wish for is that 5 pieces of medium sized shrimps was a little lacking. I wouldn’t mind having a bite or two less noodles but a couple more shrimps would be more balanced. Also even less oil would be my personal ideal.

All in all, this is a very positive experience and I’m going to become a regular here!“

“Best food ever. Best staff ever. My daughter suffered a medical emergency at the WeHo location. The manager and staff were beyond kid and helpful. Not that I recommend having a seizure at a restaurant, but Pizzana handled it beautifully. I do love their food. Authentic, fresh and delicious. Their gluten free pizza is the best in town.♥️“

“Where do I start. Liz and Maggie are amazing. They made my family feel like some type of celebrity. I can’t state in this short paragraph how blown away I was by the service we received. THE BEST SERVICE, I’VE EVER RECEIVED. The drinks were excellent and the food was so good. I recommend the wagyu meatballs. The dessert was so tasty. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order here. The piano bar is a musical nice touch. I really appreciated the attention to detail on the decor of the restaurant when it came to the music. I’m so very excited and satisfied with Osteria Florence and I can’t wait to comeback again. 10 stars ⭐️ thank you Francesco 🙏🏽❤️“

“I wish we had found this place sooner, we probably would've eaten here 3 meals a day and im not kidding.
I always order Alfredo when given the option of pastas at a new restaurant. Its my favourite pasta dish and its just what I do.
This was THE BEST ALREDO SAUCE I have ever had in my life. I had it with the gnocchi which were also very good.
My husband had a side got garlic bread- even that was fantastic and the best we've had at a restaurant. (how does one make garlic bread that good, i dont even know, but fabio does).

The service was great, the man taking our order (im assuming that was fabio but I couldn't tell you,) was so sweet.

I wish he had a restaurant so the seating wasnt just on the beach mixed with people having food from the other places near by, cause this should be its own space.

Best food we had in LA.“

“Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. I took my families and friends to celebrate my sister‘s 60th birthday in their beautiful wine cellar dining room. There’s just not enough words to explain the experience. I will be back again ! Highly recommend!“

“Great Kosher’s restaurant…. Very good service and delicious food .. I been there couple of times and each time they were great and good customer service and friendly“

“Service was friendly and efficient. Wasn’t too busy for a Tuesday night. We were a large group of business travelers and the servers were always very helpful. Food was good, not mind blowing, but our large group of 10+ collectively agreed this was a nice find and a good meal.“

“They are my favorite Italian restaurant in LA!!! As someone who has lived here all my life, I’ve tried them all! I love all of their large selection of pasta sauces & You can definitely tell everything is made from scratch. Portion sizes are good. I love the pink Ragu Especially because most places only do a Ragu in a red sauce. My other favorite go to dinner is the grilled salmon with garlic spinach & Mashed potatoes. The potatoes are delicious enough on their own, where they don’t even need gravy. My favorite sauce for the grilled salmon is the piccata sauce. It is so lemony.& buttery with the capers giving it that little extra pop of freshness.
The staff always goes above & beyond too.
I Always forget to take a photo & This time I remembered, even though I had already taken a few bites. Better late than never… right?“

“Hugo's is our family's ultimate go-to place when we need a place that satisfies everyone of every age and taste. Great salads, burgers, sandwiches, breakfasts, sides. Everything leans towards healthy-ish, so that's a plus. The wait staff has always been consistently professional.“

“Wow, the pizza and salad were sooo good!! It took me back to my trip to Italy. The staff was super friendly and attentive too. We accidentally walked in a few minutes before they opened and were super chill about it. They greeted us, sat us at a table, and asked what we would like to drink (A++ customer service).“

“Super service and good is great!“

I will come back again definitely. The best pasta option at The Grove. Just get your wine from the bar in front.“

“We have been here twice and both times were excellent. Monday nights they offer pasta specials and Wednesday I believe are the martini specials. The food is very good and the service is really good as well. We love that atmosphere. I highly recommend you bring a date here.“

“Excellent customer service. Thanks guys highly recommended“

“Small spot with solid sandwiches, plus some pasta and some salad and bowl options. A few seats inside and about three tables outside, so better as a pick-up spot. Got the prosciutto burrata sandwich which was really good! It has a shared parking that's typically pretty full“

“Really good food. Ate here twice in a week so far.“

“Thank You for such delicious food the presentation is beautiful and hot“

“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.“

“Great fresh food. Good sized portions. Consistently good. Make sure to get a side of the shishito peppers.“

“I recently visited Terra at Eataly L.A. and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is very spacious with beautiful views, and the first thing that catches your eye is the large open kitchen where they grill using wood instead of charcoal — it was impressive and added a unique flavor to the dishes.

Since we didn’t have a reservation, we sat at the bar, which had a nice view of the drinks area. The grilled dishes were absolutely delicious, and the drinks were excellent as well.

Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I would definitely recommend Terra at Eataly L.A. for its food, drinks, and inviting atmosphere!“

“Just all around 5 star with service 5 star food! Stephanie was so pleasant and kind I even asked if she had younger siblings! Great people skills! The hot turkey sandwich w sure of mixed green salad was to die for! Just the right touch of sharp cheddar and healthy gourmet vibes to start the New Year! Our bellies are full for long flight to India!“

“Eataly will not disappoint. The market is full of delicious products from Italy. The food and restaurants are not to be missed either. After eating, we normally shop in the market before going home. This store is located at the Century City Mall, and it's also fun to walk around and shop a little too. Great location, great service from everyone and the food is consistently delicious. If eating at La Piazza & La Pasta, a few of my favorites are the Cesar Salad, Salsiciotta pizza, any ravioli or lasagna. Enjoy!“
