“Little mini mall area where you wouldn’t expect a FANTASTIC meal! Our waiter suggested the kale salad and rigatoni, and WOW this did NOT disappoint. I am extremely picky and kale salads are not exactly my cup of tea, but this salad was INCREDIBLE. Little bit of spice, refreshing, and delicious. We also had a couple of their premium drinks that were also refreshing and worth the expensive price tag. We had the rigatoni and the tonnarelli (which we’ve had in actual Italy) for our mains and both dishes were superb-we shared :) definitely recommend this place based on the AMAZING food, the great service (love a server who suggests the best things on the menu and isn’t just saying it when it doesn’t fulfill), quick service (we never waited long for anything), and overall atmosphere. When I miss taking pictures of the food for a review because it is THAT good, that’s a good sign!“

“One of my favorite Venice spots! The food is delicious, the service outstanding. Absolutely have the ricotta crostini with the gluten free bread (trust me) and the raw Brussels sprouts salad.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options and knowledgeable staff“

“Barrique offers an intimate dining experience with a mix of hits and misses on the menu.The 18-month aged prosciutto and burrata appetizer delighted with its flavors, while the octopus fell short in texture. The standout dish was undeniably the beet pasta, an absolute gem that left a lasting impression. However, the ribeye main dish, though good, suffered from an abundance of fatty pieces, detracting slightly from its overall appeal.The dessert, a Panna cotta with a cherry tart topping, was a delightful conclusion to the meal, showcasing a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess that left me thoroughly satisfied.The ambiance of Barrique is pleasant, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. While not every dish hit the mark, the standout offerings make it worth a visit for those seeking inventive Italian cuisine in Venice. Overall, Barrique provides a solid dining experience that still warrants a recommendation“

“This restaurant is fantastic!!!The food is always great.. full portions and reasonably priced... the Della Casa salad is our favorite.. which has both heats of palm and artichoke hearts and a wonderful light dressing... all pastas are great... we had the sea bass which was fresh and was served with veggies and potatoes. Love this restaurant and when the weather gets better the outdoor patio is fantastic.. 1/2 a block in from the beach... Excellent service and atmosphere.“

“One of the best dining experiences that we've had so far! The restaurant is a smaller more intimate restaurant but had a very nice clean esthetic. My favorite of the meal was the spincione focaccia bread, stuffed squash (fiori di zucca), and the orrechiette pasta. Our server was very knowledgeable of the entire menu and guided us on how much to order. We ended up getting a round of drinks, 7 plates of food, and 2 desserts and the bill came out to ~$400 for our party of 4. Well worth the value of food we got and everyone felt perfectly satisfied after dinner. The food was so delicious, I can see why this place is so popular. We will definitely be visiting again.“

“This is hands down the best pasta we have had in Los Angeles. Having traveled Italy extensively and several times, we’ve always craved pasta dishes akin to the quality and distinct flavors you’d find in each town. Colapasta absolutely nails it with a tight menu of dishes that are each a win. The atmosphere is relaxed. The chef is right beside you making fresh pasta. The staff are friendly with great menu recommendations. The prices are affordable. This restaurant is a true gem for anyone craving a great meal. The Casunziei is a must try if you’re a first timer.“

“I brought my coworkers here a few weeks ago for a company team lunch and everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food! The portions were large and plentiful, so much so that we were super full and still had leftovers to take home. My favorite dish was the kale salad, which was surprisingly flavorful. The pizzas were also great!I contacted OSPI ahead of time to make a large party reservation, opting for the lunch time prix fixe menu. The whole process was super smooth, and they were very helpful in helping me choose appropriate dishes based on the dietary restrictions of our group (we had vegetarians and gluten free people, both of whom were accomodated).My only critique is that the food took quite a while to come out at the start. I expected it to be out sooner since we had a reservation and had ordered a fixed menu, but after being seated, we still had to wait a decent amount, so we were quite hungry. After that, the pacing of the meals could've been slightly faster, but it's understandable because of the large party servings. Otherwise, service was great.Unfortunately I was too distracted eating to take pictures! The food was delicious!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Decent atmosphere, kinda dark and fairly loud. Food was over all good. The meatballs were good, but nothing crazy. The ricotta wip was a good addition to them and the bread was good and crispy. The mushrooms lasagna was absolutely over powered by the balsamic and wayyyy too sweet. The egg pizza was delicious from the dough to the toppings. The desserts however were best described by my friend as grocery store desserts. Tiramisu was ok, missing half a layer... Strawberry shortcake a hard pass. Neither worth it imo.“

“Amazing food, the buratta caprese was excellent. Showed up 45 minutes before my reservation and they got me a table within 10 minutes. Wine and desserts were top notch. Seafood pasta on point. It was a busy dinner rush so there were some longer than usual waits to getting refills, more bread, getting the check. But overall the atmosphere and food make it a must visit.“

“The ambience of the restaurant is really nice and the staff were very friendly. Brian H was our waiter and he was very nice - since it was my first time at the restaurant he gave us some Pura Vita pins and stickers which was a nice surprise. I enjoyed all of the food we ordered and would come back and try more dishes.“

“Awesome experience! There were a lot of people, but we were seated right away. The wait staff checked on us frequently. The drinks and food came out in very good time. A great and cheerful atmosphere. The garlic bread was to die for! Caesar salad was simple and delicious. My standards on pasta are very high - there are very few places that make the cut, but C&O Trattoria made it quite easily - al dente. I almost never eat pasta anymore - likely been years as I do low carb most of the time. An excellent cheat meal - we had the spaghetti and meatballs. Great Limoncello Martini. I look forward to coming back, thank you!“

“Pasta Sisters is a real treat and on our list of places to dine at whenever we’re in Culver City. Our kids love it here and their pasta always comes out so good. The never ending bread service is amazing as well. Today we tried the Bottarga, Tomato and Basil topped with burrata, and the Truffle from the Not So Secret menu. We took a tiramisu to go because we were so stuffed. Afterwards we walked our pasta off at a few of the furniture stores within walking distance.“

“We found this place on Yelp when searching for a good brunch spot in the area. We ordered a few chef recommendations including the spicy southern fried chicken burger, peach salad (my friend), spaghetti and a few others. The burger is great and the bun is slightly crispy which is exactly I am looking for in a gourmet burger. The sauce is well balanced with a slight tanginess. I wish the side fried potatoes could be a little more though.I also ordered an Americano. Interestingly they served you a shot of espresso and let yourself add hot water to your like. Appreciate the touch.The place can get busy on a weekend. We only called 15 mins prior to our arrival without reservation, and were pleasantly surprised we had a seat once we checked in.“

“A high quality spot right off the boardwalk. The pastas and steak were fantastic. The menu always has new items worth trying. The staff are friendly, know the menu inside and out, and have great suggestions. The squash blossoms are a go-to appetizer but honestly everything is good. I noticed a few customers had dietary restrictions and the staff came out with a menu marked with notes to help them order. Super nice!Vegetarian options: Can ask staff for custom orderDietary restrictions: Can order custom - they will mark the menu with what they can accommodateParking: Limited parking with free street and valet nearbyWheelchair accessibility: All one level with ramps“

“Love their pasta and order delivery often but had a babysitter last weekend so we got to go to the actual space for the first time. Very lively and cozy and friendly - the staff and clientele alike. We've yet to encounter a dish we haven't loved. The papperdelle and bucatini are my favorites, and our family enjoyed the mushroom fettuccine and lamb gnocchi. The shrimp diavola and the meatballs make excellent sides/starters. All of the desserts are fantastic - pannacotta is a huge hit, tiramisu is on point and Nutella bites are a pretty unique snack-size dessert.“

“We took our son-in-law and daughter out for his birthday. Everyone enjoyed their food very much. The only reason I didn't give five stars was that I had requested a quiet table out of the restaurant traffic, but we ended up next to the bar, in passing traffic. I have a serious hearing loss and very much wanted to enjoy the conversation. The staff is always helpful and delightful, very professional.“

“The service at this place was phenomenal. I was craving aglio olio e peperoncino and asked if they could make it for me even though it was not on their menu, and they did. It did taste great ? the mussel and veal dishes were satisfying but not phenomenal though.“

“I woke up craving Spaghetti and Meatballs..and found this place.. Ordered a full pastrami sandwich and spaghetti and meatballs..Upon arrival, i realized that I have been in this place before, about 25 years ago or so.The spaghetti and meatballs was phenomenal, with 3 meatballs, and sauce to spaghetti ratio on point.Pastrami sandwich had the perfect moisture and flavor, just the right amount of mustard, would have like a bit more pickles but still a great sandwich.I hate that I didn't get the names of those who attended to me, but 100% great customer service.Safe to say. This is going to be a must go to for me at least once a month..“

“My family and I come here pretty regularly. The food and service is always fantastic! We especially love the garlic knots, the wings and the meatballs. Pizza is incredible as well! The fettucine alfredo is REALLY delicious as well, one of the best I've ever had. One thing we were not impressed with however was the chocolate cake, so I wouldn't recommend it. But then again we don't come here for the dessert!“

“I am glad to see this New Romantic and hip restaurant take over this spot. It is beautiful and great for groups. Staff is kind and helpful. Parking options include self paid parking as well as valet. If you want free parking you will have to walk quite a bit. Prices and portions are as expected. Everything was delicious including the pesto and Tierra Donna pasta, branzino, mushroom and margarita (not a margarita fan since the sauce is normally whatever and there isn't enough cheese but this one is my fav since it has a good amount of cheese and the tomato sauce is robust) pizza but my favorites include the eggplant parm (my favorite one as it was delicious without being a messy heavy dish), tortellini, arancini, and their sundae/ice cream. A great spot if you are a vegetarian. We got salads as well including the Caesar but in the future I would skip them to make more room for the other items.“

“We've been coming here since Fabios opened a few years ago. As much as I love the food in LA, good Italian food is not one of the things we're usually known for or easy to find. It's mainly Italian American food that you'll find at most restaurants and the authentic spots are usually mediocre at best. That's why it was such a pleasant surprise to find Fabio's on the Venice boardwalk of all places. The only times we go to the boardwalk these days is specifically to eat here. It's well worth the trip. Simple handmade pasta and sauces that will bring you right back to memories of your favorite little pasta shop on your last trip to Italy! The owner Fabio is very hands on and passionate about his food and you can taste it in every dish he makes. Simple fresh ingredients treated with love and respect. Forget the trendy hot spots like Eataly, Pasta Sisters, or Osteria Mozza, Fabio's is quite honestly the best real deal authentic handmade Italian pasta that you'll get in Los Angeles. Some reviews complained about the wait time. Well, it's handmade, made to order, super fresh pasta. If you're looking for quickie fast food italian, go to olive garden or pizza hut instead. If you're looking for truly authentic fresh pasta and sauces, then this is well worth the wait. Every dish there is handmade, including the bread and desserts. While we've definitely taken orders to go as well, this is the kind of spot where you want to sit down and eat it freshly made in order to truly enjoy it. First time? Try the pappardelle with italian sausage or the beef raviolis! Everything is good though.“

“We were greeted very cheerfully. The server was polite and helpful. My pizza was excellent. The crust was baked perfectly. The meat and vegetables were fresh and high quality. My wife had the spaghetti with bolognese sauce which she enjoyed. The prices were reasonable. My wife had a glass of Chablis for $5. It is the perfect Mom and Pop privately owned restaurant. Can't wait for my next visit.“

“I walked by this place a million times and it's always busy but for some reason I never expected much. Boy, was I wrong! The pasta here was perfectly made. The staff were friendly and efficient. The timing of the courses was spot on. I didn't even mind the wait when we arrived, we went for a walk around the marina and enjoyed the view and they texted when the table was ready. Best of all: did I mention the pasta? It was absolutely delicious!“

“A small inconspicuous storefront 2 doors down from Wise tires on LA Brea in Inglewood. Walked in and immediately swept up into a comfortable and inviting small space that was all Italian restaurant.The menu was large and prices were extremely reasonable. Food was prepared fresh to order and tasted like food at any of the finest 5 Star Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at.Delicious, wonderful, all made with fresh ingredients and flavor that overwhelmed the senses.I had the meatball sandwich lunch special, including chips and a drink. It came out of the kitchen completely filling the plate. I have a large appetite and could only manage to finish half of it. Huge portions!All of this for $12.95, you can't find a fast food equivalent for that price anymore, let alone fresh prepared like this.I was amazed at this hidden gem ?.No matter where you are, it is well worth a trip to Inglewood for some of the finest Italian food.“

“Super friendly service! After 20 years since my first time, they STILL have $1 salad. Nothing has changed. I love that about this place. It's like a little family. It's very hard for me to pick pasta since i am not familiar with the names, but every time i pick something (always different), it comes out good. Would always come back to this. Plus, there is an ARMY cashier here. IYKYK. ?“

“Can't go wrong with complimentary fresh baked bread served warm. Love Fritto Misto. We've dined in a few times and ordered takeout once. All experiences have been fantastic with staff & food, although on one visit my sauce was broken and I should have sent it back but definitely not a deterrent from future visits. Pasta is definitely made in house along with pretty much everything else. Some of the specials & really complex pasta dishes can be on the pricier side. I appreciate how affordable the simple choose your pasta & sauce option is. They don't accept reservations. This spot can be really busy during normal dinner times but if you go before 6:30 you can generally get a table easily, no problem. If you take any of their pasta to go and need to reheat it, do it on the stove & not in the microwave..“

“I think the key to dining at Forma is to understand that everything you order should be shared with everyone at your table. You can't come here and get a pizza or a bowl of pasta or a cheese tray and eat it alone; that's just weird. You have to come with a group of friends, split a few entres, share a bottle of wine and chat and enjoy your dinner. There are like steaks and burgers and chicken sandwiches and stuff on the menu as well, and yeah you kinda can't those. These items are fine if you're stopping in for lunch by yourself or something, but I advise to skip these if you're on a date or with a group of people and just get a bunch of shareables. Pro tip: pasta dishes are smaller portions here now than they were about a year ago, but they're also cheaper than they were, so you get to order more and try more! Wait staff is amazing btw; they treat each table very well and I've never had a problem here.“

“ne of the best Italian restaurants on the westside serving tradition Italian food in a classic setting with fantastic food and service. Every employee takes pride in their jobs from the hostess greeting you to the busboys, waiters and bar tenders. We treated ourselves to some specials on a packed Sunday night which exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the sandabs which were cooked to perfection as well as the lamb chops which were incredibly seasoned and prepared. The pastas are all wonderful and the Veal meatballs just incredible. Vitos Westside classic cooked the best Italian comfort food in town!“

“Very lovely place in Playa del Rey, the service was very attentive and had a nice local ambiance. We had the seafood pasta, four cheese pizza and spinach and mozzarella salad. The pasta was very well made and had a nice variety of seafood. The salad was basic and made well. The pizza was a little disappointing as it was too dry and we ended up putting the salad on top to eat. Overall a wonderful place and would recommend.“

“We love coming to this place! It’s a small cozy hole in the wall located in prime Santa Monica. Every time we visit family in California this a must go for my family and I. The people and the food are amazing. We stopped in late night a few weeks ago, maybe 45 minutes before they closed. They were super busy but happy to attend us. After being served our meal I asked if it was too late for me to order a garlic bread. The Cook and the server replied “ of course we can!” I felt bad asking because they were cleaning, without hesitation they got to it and served us the order! Thank you! Your service and food always makes us happy.“

Highly recommended dishes include grilled octopus, mussels, chopped salad, tuna tartare, short ribs, bucatini, chicken under a brick, and grilled carrots. Despite its size, the restaurant offers ample space for lengthy conversations and boasts an excellent selection of wines.“
