For the pasta, 5 stars.The service, 5 stars.The porchetta sandwich, 3 stars. Not enough ingredients between the bread. Incredibly underwhelming. Everything else was great, if not a little heavy handed with the salt. I’ll feel it tomorrow but it was worth the binge.
I have never, in my life, had a better Italian dish than their Meat Lasagna. I have eaten here countless times and tried all their regular pastas. They are all amazing! (Pro tip: pay extra for extra pasta and share the dish). But tonight I had the Meat Lasagna (which has never been my thing) and it was so perfect I couldn't believe it. Soft, crispy top cheese, soft cuts, delicious flavor, plenty of soft ricotta cheese (or a different cheese, not sure). Definitely a beautiful spot for a date!
Undoubtedly one of the very best places for pasta in LA! As Chef Francesco, which we chance encountered, described, the intention is to recreate and offer what one would eat at home. I really fell in love with the Porcini Mushroom Pappardelle - creamy with the soul of the mushroom. Also really liked the Arrabbiata Spaghetti - the touch of spice really brought the otherwise classical red sauce based taste profile to another level. Also great vibe and a perfect place to casually hang out with friends =)
Absolutamente delicioso! this lasagna is definitely memorable. Reminded me of lasagna in bologna. Soft bottom layers but the top layer was at the perfect layer of crunchy?and it had the right quantity of sauce, meat and cheese. wish i was there eating this as i look at the photos and reminisce. anyway, the ambiance at the place is like between a restaurant and casual bite because you wait in line before ordering and find a table. Weekend visit was pretty crowded the later it got, the longer the line got too (sat outside) there was also an outdoor propane heater which was appreciated as culver city can get chilly. They also had desserts. I will probably order another lasagna to go next time and some pastaaa. and the pricing is pretty good. My friends have gone to this location at least 3 times so i was excited and want to say it did not disappoint. there is parking but weekends seem to be pretty busy go with time :)
We went at around 6:30pm+ and there were lines but not too long. We able to get a table and have our dinner. The three cheese ? was really cheesy and creamy and delicious. Even it looks small portions, but it fills up my stomach. Yummy! The tea bags was so cute as well. The chamomile tea taste good as well.
Solid pasta, solid price, lots of customization options. It was quite busy even on a weekday night, and parking in the area isn't great. But it's much cheaper than a place like Early, while being comparable if not slightly better quality.
Everything we got tastes great and the restaurant was clean and inviting. The only disadvantage is that there are no gluten-free options available on the menu for those on a special diet. Parking is close by, free and convenient.
Food 4/5- Aesthetically pleasing, authentic, but nothing special to distinguish from other excellent Italian Restaurants.Staff 5/5- Great service, attentive staff, and friendly.Atmosphere Relaxed- Nice patio, limited indoor seating, and overall family experience.Value 3/5- For $30/head expected a little more pasta.
Warning - Pasta Sisters does NOT live up to its hype. In fact, the food experience we had left my guest and I wondering why people love this place so much! We just didn’t get it and personally both don’t agree.Before I dive in, it’s important to note that these are my thoughts based on my tastes, but what I always strive to do is chronicle my experiences honestly.What we ordered - Arrabbiata Linguine with Burrata, Pesto Spaghetti, Caprese Sandwich, Roasted Vegetables, and Panna CottaThings to know - this is an order at the counter and first come first serve seating.Let’s focus on what was good - it has a nicely organized store front/counter. The table bread (salted focaccia) was the best part of our meal. The food presentation is beautiful (certainly leads you to believe it tastes as good). And the vegetable side was simply prepared but tasty.What wasn’t good - the pesto… on man… it just didn’t do it for us; it’s made as a very thick dry paste which I found almost to be inedible. If you’re a fan of the way pesto is done in Genoa, this is not that! The Caprese sandwich wasn’t good either (note that it’s made with that pesto). There just is no flavor in this sandwich at all; nothing in it had flavor even when you deconstructed it. In the Arrabbiata, you could only taste the spiciness in the sauce and nothing else. And lastly, the Panna Cotta was just way too dense. Our three mains were such a fail, we ended up leaving so much food to go in the trash which I HATE doing. Lastly, we were never given water for the table or napkins - both a basic necessity ALL restaurants should offer guests.This Italian restaurant missed too many marks and failed to impress.
The best pasta in L.A.!!!
