Incredible food, service, and atmosphere. We ordered the stuffed ravioli, lamb mushroom pasta, crème brûlée, and chocolate cake. Everything was fresh and homemade, you don’t feel heavy or tired after you eat because of the quality of their ingredients. They had a special for $6 Italian wine, which was excellent. Owner came by and chatted for a bit which he was so nice. We’ve been here before and will continue coming back, it’s been excellent every time.

No Italian would recognize this food. Was not aware that pasta could be turned into such tasteless, homogeneous slop. Despite huge portions, not a forkful was worth eating. First and last time I will eat there. Server was lovely.Wheelchair accessibility: Anyone who could walk would be gone in a hurry.

Great food, really good service and a nice atmosphere sat in a heated outdoor area. Would highly recommend for true Italian food.

How to describe it? As an Italian it was terrible pasta was swimming in the sauce. Don’t go. Big mistake

Unfortunately, the chef has probably never been to Italy. Most of the dishes we ordered were greasy and tasteless, the pasta was drowning in sauce. The only tasty one was the Lobster Ravioli. Creme Brulee did not have a crispy shell, it was more like a pudding.

10/10 recommend this gem! We were greeted at the door with a joke and a smile. Our waiter, Carlos, was ✨incredible✨. He is an absolute asset to the Fritto Misto team and I would go back just to experience his service again.The food was superb (New Zealand lamb special) and I can’t wait to try more of the menu. If you’re wondering which Italian place to go to in Santa Monica, this is the one.

Wife and I stopped here on a whim, and turned out to be amazing to say the least. Wife had the Garlic Shrimp and I had the Cajun chicken. We are out of staters from Colorado. Best pasta I’ve had In 42 years of life.

I visited this beautiful restaurant yesterday with friends after the Getty Center trip.I ordered lobster and shrimp ravioli and jumble ravioli, black and white spaghetti, and Misto salad. The salad is fresh and healthy, with fresh veggies on walnuts and pine nuts. The black-and-white spaghetti tastes out of the world! The Ravioli are good too.The Challenging part is parking. It's really hard to park on the street. I tried for a while then went to the restaurant to ask their employee, one gentleman told me to go across the street and park at the Santa Monica Public Library, you can pay 3 dollars to park there.I'm going to take my family next week to the Getty center and then visit this place again. IVegetarian options: They have a vegetarian menu, I'm a vegetarian but I love their food so I didn't order the vegetarian food.Kid-friendliness: The employees are friendly and helpful.

How this place has 4.6/5 is beyond me. Based on the food I'm 100% sure there is not one Italian working in this place, they would have a heart attack seeing the dishes that come out of the kitchen.

Yikes! Where to start…I don’t leave reviews, but like most people, I am highly dependent on them to figure out where to eat when visiting a new city. So if I can prevent just one person from making the mistake of eating here, I’ve done a good deed. I ordered the jumbo ravioli and my SO ordered the lobster ravioli per other reviews. Both tasted like they were freezer burned. Very underwhelming, overrated, and way overpriced for what we got. There are way better restaurants in the area. I should have listened to my gut and walked out the minute I saw the menu.

Great food even better wine prices!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta is so-so, but they at least have it.
