A fantastic discovery. After almost ten days of burgers and American junk food, finding a place that does real Italian food was like finding heaven!! Fair prices compared to average and fair portions.
I had the spaghetti with pesto and burrata and it was really good! A small clarification: the pasta was a little overcooked, I prefer it al dente.
Don't pay attention to the negative reviews, coincidentally they are non-Italian people who know little or almost nothing about pasta.
I highly recommend you try it!!

The price is cheap, overall delicious and the ingredients are good.
When ordering, be aware that the spaghetti noodles are a bit chewy and special to this restaurant! The arrabbiata is a bit spicy.

The worst it was about $36.13 including 10% tip and we hardly got anything in the containers. The taste of the pesto gnocchi was gross. My ten year old is almost done with it and I haven’t even written 100 words on this review 😫 it’s so salty also ewww 😫 going to return the gnocchi I tried my sons and the meat sauce or whatever kind of meat that was tastes really bad it has that nasty after taste that won’t go away with anything

Great authentic tasting pasta. Freshly made. We ordered the Bolognese & it was delicious. Michael was super friendly & advised the best combo. Definitely would recommend & will be back. 10/10 & was the best way to end the night on the boardwalk

This place is honestly the BEST pasta around Los Angeles! Every single time the quality never stops impressing me and all the new people I bring. My go to favorite is the papardelle pasta with black truffle and tiger shrimp and if that doesn’t make you fall in love then I can’t help you. Michael makes the experience here overwhelmingly great. The seating outside is a couple tables and chairs and is best accessed by walking but there is a paid parking next door for 15 dollars. Don’t skip this staple of Venice and come fall in love!

This is the best food in LA in my opinion! The pasta is handmade and owner Fabio is from Italy!!! authentic as it gets, and you can taste the love. I’ve been going here almost every week for 3 years and make all my friends come. 1000000/10 give them a Michelin star. Fabio and his staff are all the sweetest people too.

tldr; beautiful location, but very disappointing food
Pros:
- beautiful location, just steps from the beach
- fast and kind service
Cons:
- the food tasted like something I would have made in my dorm room in college
A more detailed review of my dish (fusilli with basil pesto and seasonal veggies):
- fusilli: had the taste and texture of overcooked boxed pasta—would not recommend
- basil pesto: fine but tasted more like watery basil. It didn’t have any of the richness or cheesiness that pesto can have
- seasonal veggies: these seemed like reheated frozen vegetables
Overall a fine place if you just want a quick, cheap bite in Venice. However, in my opinion you’d be better off with a box of pasta and jar of sauce from the grocery store.

Got the fuseli with Bolognese sauce. Tasted like middle school cafeteria lunch. Noodles were limp and sauce was wanting. I hope that the other menu items are better, but this one does not reflect the 4+ star rating. Would not recommend.

Very unappetizing, extremely sour, and the noodles are very hard and not fully cooked.

Lovely spot! You can really taste that the pasta is handmade. I can recomend the Alfredo and Marinara sauce:)
