Cicao de Pepe

Food was cold and tasted microwaved * Cute online, disappointing in person * Service felt passive aggressive * Overall okay, but wouldn't return

Alfredo Bolognese Garlic bread
Ashley H.

Food was yummy here!! Prices aren't actually as cheap because some sauces and add ons are more... Service is quick and they bring the food to you once you order. Outside is cute on the beach in the alley! Heaters too

Menu

This place is a hidden gem! Big variety of pasta that can be customized with different sauces and toppings for very reasonable price. It has seating outside overlooking the ocean and by the boardwalk - perfect for a beautiful sunny day. Very friendly staff. I'll be coming back again soon!

fusilli + black truffle + italian sausage
Caroline C.

Delicious handmade pasta with an ocean view at a reasonable price? I don't think I can recommend Fabio's enough. Fabio himself was extremely kind and recommended some great pairings. Despite him being the only one working, our food was out very quick. The pasta itself was perfectly cooked with a nice texture. Both sauces were also very fresh, flavorful, and creamy. Solid portion sizes too. You order at the counter and sit outside. Either they call your name or bring it out to you. It can get a little cold at night, but there are heat lamps thoughtfully placed out by the tables. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options as well. The beautiful bowls are also such a memorable and unique touch. 100% recommend and I will certainly be back!

Entrées: * Gnocchi Bolognese - rich, tomato-forward, and comforting. Adding sausage was a great choice and balanced the dish really well. * Rigatoni Alfredo (with chicken) - creamy, smooth, and satisfying. The chicken added extra protein and made it more filling without being too heavy. Overall: Fabio's is a great choice if you're looking for a casual, local-feeling spot near the beach. Dining outside with the ocean breeze really enhances the Venice experience. It can be a little challenging to find a table during busy times, but it's worth it. Service & Ambience: The owner was especially friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel warm and personal. The seating area is shared with other businesses, so be sure to sit only at tables designated for the restaurant. Out of courtesy, we also returned our plates after finishing, which felt fitting for the laid-back, local setup.

Pesto pasta

A little pasta shop around venice beach. Pasta is delicious, the server is wonderful.

Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
Tap D.

Such a cute unassuming place in a side street off the Venice boardwalk. Just far enough to escape the noise. Cute walk up counter order, with quick service, and outdoor patio seating with heat lamps at night. The food was so fresh, the spaghetti feeling a little extra a la dente. The portions are very generous. We shared a cacio e pepe spaghetti and black truffle papparadelle pasta with added mushrooms. Dont forget the garlic bread, you could every table raving about it next to us! I preferred the truffle pasta over the pepe but they were both nice and creamy!

Ricotta Spinach Ravioli and pesto pasta
Kirstin Z.

We went for a friends birthday dinner and I'm so glad I joined. I never knew this little gem existed. You almost don't know this place is there as it's literally a door in the wall with a Window. We ordered a plethora of items and everything was delicious. I especially liked the ravioli that was textured perfectly. The pesto was also really good as well as the spicy rigatoni. We completed the evening with a homemade tiramisu and it was everything I hoped it would be. Fabio was as fabulous as his food! He was smiling the entire time and you could tell took pride in what he cooked. I will certainly return!

Ricotta spinach pasta

This was some of the best pasta I've ever had and the gentleman working the front counter was very sweet.

This place is the real deal. Fabio, the owner, is truly Italian -- from Northern Italy -- and you can taste that authenticity in every bite. It's very much a hole-in-the-wall setup: you order at the counter, pay, and then Fabio personally brings your food to one of the small tables set up outside. The whole experience is minimal, efficient, and completely focused on quality. As an Italian born and raised in Italy, I find it very hard to eat pasta outside of Italy without being disappointed -- but this place is a true testament to how it should be done. The pasta is fresh, and the ingredients are divine. We tried the fettuccine with truffle and mushrooms and the rigatoni with basil and shrimp. We pretty much licked the plates clean. The outdoor seating is simple and cute, tucked into a little alley just a few steps from Venice Beach. It can get a bit breezy with the ocean air -- we visited in February -- but they have several outdoor heat lamps placed around the tables. I'd still recommend bringing an extra layer just in case. Being Venice Beach, you'll likely see some quirky characters strolling by, but that's part of the atmosphere. Parking-wise, there are paid lots nearby, but they can be expensive. I'd suggest parking a few streets away in the residential area where you can usually find free street parking.

Ravioli
Itzel M.

I ordered the potato gnocchi with the black truffle sauce and added burrata. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so beautifully balanced with black truffle. My boyfriend ordered the ravioli with marinara sauce and added Italian sausage as suggested by the gentleman taking our order. Ravioli was amazing!

Pappardelle with Arrabiata sauce and fresh Burrata on top and Italian sausage
Harrison T.

Delicious and freshly made pasta right on the Venice Beach boardwalk! This spot has a variety of pasta options and sauce options to choose from with a variety of proteins and toppings to complete your pasta! Every order is made once you place it and it comes in a beautiful blue plate. I chose to get the Pappardelle with Arrabiata sauce with italian sausage and fresh burrata. It was simply amazing. The pappardelle was al dente and the arrabiata sauce had a great kick of spice and great tomato flavor. There was plenty of italian sausage in my plate and the fresh burrata on top was delicious and creamy. Eating my pasta on a colder night for dinner at one of the tables outside with people bustling around provided a unique and great atmosphere. The person helping me order was quite friendly and answered any questions I had. There is parking available in one of the nearby lots or you can park on one of the streets

Pappardelle and Ricotta Spinach Ravioli
Jordan-Johnson N.

Definitely a safe and convenient choice for when you just want a quick dinner to end your night in the area. Super friendly and fun staff charming area however seating can't always be guaranteed. Now food is totally fine nothing too complex. Surprisingly fantastic bpunce on the pappardelle and meaty sauce but my gosh that cheese on top was cold and not melted in any way so kind of a let down. Raviolis were pretty decent nice filling but mild sauce. Overall a very nice meal after spending a day shopping and walking.

Expensive and NOT WORTH IT. Food is not even a little bit good :( Very confused about all the good reviews

Ospi Venice does a great job and I'm glad to have tried them at last. I had enjoyed restaurant…read moreJemma di Mare in Brentwood and imagined their sister Ospi would also be a hit. Ospi is a bit more Americanized, and they do that very well. Spacious and gets crowded, so a reservation is a good idea. Fun cocktails and a variety of wines to choose from, if you're so inclined. The Chef's Negroni is a soothing, smoky and somewhat sweet cocktail that starts with cathedral mezcal. I loved it. We ordered a several dishes - and let's start by saying you must try the ricotta. 'Whipped cheese, sea salt' does not do it justice, but it's wonderful and perfect to share. The Beef Tartare is another winner, served with crispy potato and parm. It's pretty huge, and rich, and conveniently cut into pieces for easy sharing. The crunch potato chips on top are a nice finish. A creative take on a classic, purists might wonder what's going on, until they taste it. The Caesar is huge and great to share, too, as well as the Crispy Rhode Island Calamari. These are more in the department of comfortable staples, but are delicious crowdpleasers, nonetheless. Of the entrees we ordered, everyone seemed to like mine the most: Malloreddus (bbef cheek, ragu napoletano, thyme, toscano). It sounded a bit quirky, but inviting. The server gave it a bit thumbs up, so I'm glad to have ventured this way. Served over the small pasta pieces that you can watch being made closer to the front of the restaurant. The Lemon Tagliolini features lobster 'fry diavolo', basil and pistachio. Not too spicy, and the lobster and pasta were perfectly cooked. The cannelloni was perhaps the one entree that, while good, did not rise above 'just fine'. Perhaps the flavors were a bit toned down that night, or maybe overwhelmed by the gorgeous Sorrentina blanket of mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil. Dessert was good, and the DIY affogato was delicious. Noteworthy service, and a friendly sometimes boisterous energy in the restaurant help make for a fun dining experience.

Next was Copione pizza with a super thin crust and beautifully balanced sauce. Spicy Rigatoni was not spicy at all but delicious. I was a little disappointed by the Breakfast carbonara. Poached egg on top of the pasta is not the best choice. Overall our experience was great and we will definitely go back if we are in the area.

Appetizers: Focaccia (sfincione) - 5/10 (GF rating 4/10) Super greasy, like, very. Make sure to ask for extra olive oil on the side, as that does make it better as they do have delicious olive oil. The bread seems like it's also cooked in olive oil, but frankly if they made their bread and had olive oil on the side it would've been much better. The bread itself though, ugh that whole bottom was wet in oil. Super unfortunate. Solid but oily as heck. Rice Croquettes (suppli in Bianco) - 5/10 (GF rating 2/10) Forgettable. Nothing special, no sauce paired with it. They're mediocre. I wouldn't get this again. Mains: Lamb Ragu (malloreddus) - 9/10 (GF rating 7.5/10) Extremely tasty. Pasta was very well cooked, lamb meat was perfect, as goes for the cheese on top and the sauce. Amazing meal. Would've been far better without having the subpar appetizers beforehand. Cheese and pepper pasta (cacio e Pepe) - 5/10 (GF rating 6.5/10) Non meat pastas aren't my thing, so take my rating with a grain of salt, as I would never get this myself. Girlfriend thought it was wayyyy too peppery, but that the pasta were cooked very well). Dessert: Panna Cotta - READ BELOW The panna cotta as a whole - disgusting. Jam on top was awfully bitter, quite literally inedible. The crouton like things were whatever. The panna cotta itself, as in only the white part, VERY good. After painstakingly doing our best to scrape off the jam, we were able to get to the base, and that itself tasted great (bar getting even a hint of the syrupy jam flowing into your bite). Service was fine. Didn't care for the ambiance.

I ordered the huevos rancheros and they asked me if sunny side up eggs were ok and I requested over easy if possible. They served sunny side up eggs to me (not a big problem, but why even ask?) I also don't like that they serve hot lattes in those plastic water cups (first of all, that looks cheap like did you run out of mugs? Second of all that means these cups are too hot to hold for a couple minutes!) When I visited the WeHo location, I remember liking my latte (that was served in a mug), so I was pretty disappointed. Also just anything hot in a plastic container makes me feel weird consuming. Also justice for those sitting on those tiny stools, because not only are they tiny, but you're in the busy aisle so people are always bumping in to you! Wish I had a chair with a back. One good thing was that this place doesn't rush you when you're seated and finished eating, which I really appreciate! They let us sit and yap for awhile when lots of other places try to get more tables open. Overall, it's a cute place, but I'm never excited to go when this restaurant is chosen lol.

And Paulina is perhaps the hardest working, most efficient manager you'll ever come across. There is never a moment when she isn't bustling around, getting things done. You can see she's under enormous pressure with the amount of customers that are constantly coming through, but she is just on top of everything.

An example - yesterday we arrived after having waited an hour for our table, there were 6 of us including our toddler - she could see we wanted to order ASAP so she just came over and without taking notes, we reeled off the 9 dishes we wanted, and she recited everything back to us perfectly, coursed it out, and said she'd get the toddler's plate out immediately. If I ever was to set up a restaurant, she'd be who I'd choose to run it, that's for sure. Thanks Uovo!
