Pasta Restaurants near Venice, CA

“Delicious pasta & great tiramisu, if I could rate this place 6/5 I would.

I ordered the gnocchi with mushroom sauce and burrata, and it tasted almost homemade. The gnocchi had the perfect slightly chewy texture, and the sauce had a slight olive oil flavor to it that kicked it up a notch.

The man at the counter was also quite friendly and chatty, he said “it’s so good you’ll want it for breakfast, lunch and dinner” and I agree.“

“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.“

“Best pasta ever! I ordered three trays, fettuccine Alfredo, bolognese, and shrimp pasta and a tray of salad. They don’t open until 11:30 but I needed the trays for a brunch at 10:45 and they were able to accommodate for that! The pasta was fresh, hot and sooo delicious all the guest wanted to know where is was from and they all loved it! And you can not beat the price! Sooo affordable. I got a quote from a different place that was charging sooooo much more for the same amount! Love it and would go again and order again too.“

“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.“

“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 🙏🏽❤️“

“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“

“We ordered the Tuscan flatbread, baked lasagna, a Paloma and a God Father. The cocktails were excellent.

The flat bread was a good balance of sauce, cheese olives, tomatoes and onion.

As always, the baked Brussels sprouts and rosemary potatoes were delicious.

The baked lasagna did not disappoint. The sauce was superb and the lasagna was so frigging good!

This place is a must on a date night or a good family meal.“

“I am a vegan and I loved their mushroom pizza! The margarita was more on the sweeter side (coz of the cheese)
We had the pistachio apple salad- that was delicious! I would love to go back for the mushroom pizza and hoping they can add more starters that are vegan!“

“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!“

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

“​Stopped by Pasta Corner at the farmers market and had a great meal. I absolutely loved the Alfredo it was fresh, saucy, a huge portion, and piled high with cheese, which totally made the dish! My son ordered the spaghetti and thought the sauce tasted great, but the texture of the pasta was a bit off for him. I also paired my meal with a really good Italian soda . Service was quick with zero wait time, though the cashier wasn't overly friendly. I'd definitely come back again for the Alfredo!“

“Super service and good is great!“

“A great neighborhood spot - everyone should go in and support their business!! We got a few different pasta dishes and they were all delicious. The bread they serve everyone is sooo good! And last but not least - the service is wonderful!

New addition to my review: we came back and I got the fettuccine Alfredo and it is SOO good, I highly recommend! I added chicken and it was fabulous!!“

“If you’re anywhere near Santa Monica and craving AMAZING pizza, this place is an absolute must. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel so welcome, the vibes are always warm, friendly, and cozy. It’s the kind of pizza parlor that instantly feels like your go-to spot.

My personal favorites are the Spicy Bear and the Bianco pizzas… both are insanely delicious and packed with flavor. And don’t even get me started on the spicy BBQ wings, the PERFECT balance of sweet and spicy. I literally crave them all the time.

A huge shoutout to Ruben, who always goes above and beyond to make customers feel welcomed. His energy, personality, and friendliness truly make the experience even better every single time.

Great food, great people, great atmosphere. Honestly, nothing but amazing things to say about this place. One of my favorite spots to hit for my lunch break with my coworkers and definitely a hidden gem.“

“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.“

“The first time I tried this place, I asked the employee at the front (the one with the red hair) what their specialty or best-selling item was. She replied, “We don’t have a specialty here.”

I clarified that I meant what customers usually order or what their most popular dishes are, but instead of answering, she just started reading the entire menu to me. At that point, I decided to leave.

I gave the place another chance on a different day when someone else was working the front, and I’m glad I did. The customer service was much better, and the food was actually pretty good. I’m happy I came back because my second experience was completely different from the first.“

“Me and my husband came out to Santa Monica and ate lunch at Rosti's on Thursday. The pasta dish Rigatoni Beef Ragu that Lisa, my server, suggested was really good! She was personable and friendly, really thoughtful about my food choices since I’m pregnant. Thank you!“

“Great food, friendly staff w reasonable prices. Pedones has a outdoor patio w acoustic music on Fri & Sat. The menu has a wide variety from pasta, pizza, wings, appetizers, desserts as well as beer/wine“

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

“I got the lobster pizza. I had to have them remake it because they brought me a soggy pizza and it was my birthday. Overall the atmosphere was good. And the pizza was good after they made it over. But I do feel the crust should be thicker since it does has sauce that goes on top“

“It had been a while since our last visit, and it was so nice to be back. We loved the remodeled patio, it looks fantastic. The food and service are top notch, the staff very attentive, and the vibe is simply the best rooftop experience in LA.
Well done guys!“

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

“The service was quick and friendly. The Mac & cheese was delicious - as were the chia cups. The quinoa breakfast bowl was ok. Nice to have somewhere that you can sit and eat rather than being in the food court. They have both alcoholic beverages and coffee/espresso drinks.“

“We had a nice experience at La Pizza & La Pasta, probably the most modest restaurant within Eataly.

The day we visited, there happened to be a 3-course dinner menu available, so we opted for that. I choose mortadella with pesto, gnocchi arrabiata, and panna cotta. My girlfriend got the kale salad, beet ravioli, and gelato.

The food was quite nice. Not transcendent, but solid, well made, and well seasoned. The atmosphere is lovely. It's situated within Eataly, and we ate on the patio, overlooking the Avenue of the Stars.

The main misstep here was the service. As I said, it was a 3-course special menu, with limited options. Despite there being just two of us, every course except for the entrees came out at least 5 minutes offset from the other person. Even the two cortados we ordered with dessert were brought by different runners, minutes apart. That sort of pacing really damages the experience, and I would expect a restaurant like this to get that right.

Overall it's not my favorite restaurant at Eataly, but it's still definitely a nice place for a satisfying meal.“
