It was our first time eating here. We ordered calamari and garlic knots and some clam chowder for appetizers. Delicious! I ordered the lemon chicken caper entree and my wife had a dish with an amazing cream sauce with mushrooms, but I don't remember the name. Literally everything was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend this spot. Great service from our waitress too. I think her name was Shelly or Chelly or something like that. We will definitely be back. read more

The pizza was fresh and delicious. It's not your cheapest option around, but the quality was there. So the cost didn't bother me. We also go a beet salad that stated there would be goat cheese on it- we didn't get much if any in ours, unfortunately. Staff were great and kind. Dining room was clean and neatly decorated. Plenty of parking too. I look forward to my next stop for food from La Pasta. read more

La Pasta - Beet salad with no cheese to be seen - Italian Near Me - Lynwood, California

I'll be honest -- the first time I saw La Pasta in Lynwood, I wasn't super intrigued. But then I kept noticing police cars and fire trucks parked there during lunch. And if there's one thing I know, first responders always know where the good food is. That was enough for me to give it a shot. We decided to grab takeout, and wow... this place is legit. The lasagna was amazing. Not one of those basic ricotta-only lasagnas either -- this had a great cheese blend and an incredible sauce that really brought everything together. You can tell care goes into the food. The bread they serve tastes fresh like it's baked there, which makes a big difference. We also had the chicken fettuccine, and my daughter absolutely loved it, which is always a win as a parent. We've only done takeout so far, but this spot has officially upgraded our movie nights at home. One of these days we'll probably dine in, but even to-go, the quality holds up -- and that says a lot. Definitely a spot worth trying if you want solid Italian food in the area. read more

Must eat local small business! Food was priced right & delicious. I love a good family run place, food came out fast and hot. Very good quality and flavors. Good portions and good price. My only complaints too much salad with ahi and offer olive oil and balsamic with the fresh bread. read more

Alison Moreno This was the worst service I have ever received at this restaurant, and I've come here many times on Friday .I had never seen Alison before. We've always had other servers, but never someone so arrogant and unprofessional. She forgot to place our order. After all the tables around us had already been served and we had been waiting over 30 minutes, she came back and asked us to repeat our order. Her excuse was that the kitchen didn't have a piece of equipment turned on, but everyone around us was already eating. Then, with a sarcastic smile, she said, "I'm not the one cooking. I can't do anything." We politely asked for water, and she literally slammed our glasses on the table. Later, she brought out a dish we never ordered and dropped the plate on the table. When I told her I didn't want her serving us anymore, she arrogantly replied that we had to keep her because the other server was busy training other server. At that point, I asked for my food to go. She turned around with a mocking smile and eventually brought my daughter's pasta. I could clearly see my salad sitting at the counter while she kept walking around without bringing it. Several minutes later, she finally brought it, but my husband's food still hadn't arrived. Another server came out of the kitchen to apologize on her behalf. Alison never came out. She stayed hidden in the kitchen and never once apologized for forgetting to place our order. It would have been so simple to say, "I forgot to put in your order. I'm very sorry. It will be out in a few minutes." Instead, she tried to cover it up and continued with her rude and arrogant attitude. This was unacceptable service. I honestly don't understand how she is working as a server if this is how she treats customers. If you don't know how to provide good service and have no interest in treating people with respect, this is not the right job for you. Alison Moreno Alison Moreno was the server who gave us the worst service we have ever experienced at this restaurant. We are not complaining about the food--the food was as good as it has always been. Our complaint is entirely about the service we received from Alison. She forgot to place our order, and because of that, neither my husband nor I ended up eating our meals. We were not asking for a discount or anything for free. We simply expected to receive the service we were paying for. We have always been generous customers and normally leave well over a 20% tip. This time, we only left 15%, which was more than Alison deserved based on the service she provided. I can't help but feel that we were treated differently. Unfortunately, there is a stereotype that Mexicans don't tip well, and after the way we were treated, it seemed like that may have been the reason we received such poor service. We hope management takes this feedback seriously because no customer should be treated this way. read more

I am blown away. This gem. Very very pricey. Very delicious. Not expected at all in the area. Its like artisan level food here. Traditional oil/vinegar for the delicious pita cake looking bread. it looked overbaked, some pieces slightly too crispy for my taste but the taste was wtf amazing. unfortunately Im a butter dude, i dont like how oil feels on my lips and black vinegar is ick to me Chicken Cognac $27 - Flattened chicken cuts kinda meh but the mushroom sauce was sublime. The veggies were firm but seasoned just right, and that sauce on anything was phenomenally yum. The closest i could compare the shroom sauce to might be the steak diane sauce at Cheesecake factory but while theirs is savory rich, this one has like depth. Fettucine Alfredo $24. my friend said it was good. and he eats good food....that his mom cook. but the way it looked im coming next time foe this. Parking - tiny little lot shared with other tiny shops Bathroom - single occupant Service - dude this guy was a boss, remembered everything our 14 person party would ask for and i dont remember seeing a notepad. The way he spoke and recommended things was kind and gracious, not pushy at all, just downright pleasant. which in turn just makes a pleasant dining experience. read more

Amazing experience from start to finish. You can really feel that this is a family-owned restaurant--the care and attention shows in every dish. The ahi tuna was fresh and flavorful, the salmon was perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce, and the lasagna was rich, cheesy, and a standout. Everything tasted homemade but elevated. Great food, warm atmosphere--I'll definitely be back. read more

I really love this place. Compared to the pasta places in DTLA it's one of my favorites for a quick bite during lunch. Every time I've been their service has been quick and friendly. It's clean in the inside and also has a nice cocktail selection to choose from. I haven't been here for dinner but definitely love coming here for lunch during work. Highly recommend their linguine arrabbiata if you enjoy a mild spice. read more

Good spot for pasta in Lynwood. They have plenty of parking in the evenings. The service was excellent. The decor is nice, like a modern Italian restaurant. The bread they provide is made out of the pizza dough, and it was good! We tried the eggplant Parmesan, the Ribeye Steak, and the Vodka Penne. All were good, but the steak was my favorite. The cognac mushrooms were super flavorful. I practically licked the plate clean. Definitely recommend! read more

Amazing restaurant in Lynwood located on the corner of Imperial and MLK. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. Fresh bread while you wait for your order. Their Margherita pizza is the best . My son likes to add pepperoni. He is a very picky eater but says La Pasta is his favorite restaurant. Have tried several pasta dishes and they're all delicious. Absolutely must try if you're in the area. read more

La Pasta - Margherita pizza with pepperoni. - Italian Near Me - Lynwood, California

LOVED THIS PLACE! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. They had a bunch of roses and heart decorations for Valentine's Day and there was plenty of available seating inside. Elgar greeted me warmly and was incredibly helpful and kind throughout my entire time dining in. I asked whether I should get the Chicken Cognac or the Chicken Parm and he suggested the Cognac, which was BOMB! One of the best chicken dishes I've had in quite some time. The chicken was cooked to perfection, the sauce was just the right consistency, and both the potatoes and veggies were well seasoned. Lots of food and great quality so you feel as though you get your money's worth. They also bring out complimentary bread with oil & vinegar which hit the spot, kudos to them for making sure the bread was fresh, warm, and soft with a nice crunchy exterior. Totally going to check this place out again when I'm in the area. Shoutout to Elgar for the phenomenal service and the chefs for whipping up such a delicious meal!! read more

It's a small place but with plenty of seating if you're looking to dine in with a lot of wine selection, I tried the penne and pink sauce. My wife had the lasagna and we shared the small pepperoni pizza and I must say I was impressed, especially with the penne and lasagna. It was really delicious.

High prices, the food doesn't taste good, and the portions are very small. The service is slow. it's just not worth it.

You wouldn't think from the location, but the food here is delicious. We got to try a lot and everything was great. My favorites were the lasagna (which had a hint of something sweet, perhaps nutmeg?), and the lemon caper chicken. Great flavor! The rigatoni was great, as was the alfredo, garlic bread, and seafood pasta. We had the desserts which were unique: the bomba which was a chocolate and vanilla ice cream coated in a hard chocolate shell, a pistachio gelato dessert which was delicious, and the cheesecake which was also so good. I usually avoid cheesecake at restaurants cause they're all the same, but this one had a creme brûlée mascarpone crust and was really really good. Great service as well! read more

This place a frozen "Italian food" I was so disappointed with the "food" the cheese sticks looked and tasted worse than the carls jr next door. Look at this lasagna? There's not layers of meat, cheese nor sauce. It was just as you can see layered pasta with no flavor. Can Italian food is better than this. The service was good, the lady at the register was nice. The place is cute and quaint but omg the food is terrible. The best part of the meal was the free bread and the Diet Coke I had. Don't waste your money. read more

First and foremost, La Pasta has a very cute and warm environment. The decor is subtle, clean, and welcoming it's the kind of place you want to sit down and enjoy a meal in. Now, the food. I started with the garlic rolls. The flavor and seasoning were actually really good, but they were a bit overcooked. The bread was pretty hard almost hurts the roof of your mouth when you bite into it and a little dry. The flavor is definitely there, though. I'd recommend maybe using a different bread or leaving them in the oven for a bit less time. The chicken Alfredo had decent flavor, but there really wasn't anything special about it. It was pretty boring and kind of bland overall, and definitely under-seasoned. The chicken was cut into very small pieces, which felt unnecessary and made the dish less satisfying. On top of that, the portion size was small for the price, which made it feel overpriced. That said, I've had other pasta dishes here in the past and overall they are flavorful and good they just seem to consistently need a bit more seasoning, and the portion sizes still don't quite match the prices. The Caesar salad honestly felt like very little effort was put into it. It looked like a packaged supermarket salad, and parts of the lettuce seemed like they may have been a day old. A classic Caesar should feel fresh and intentional, and this one just came across as cheap and store-bought. The pizza, on the other hand, was good. The crust was really well done great cook and texture, and overall enjoyable. I've been here a few times, and each time the restaurant has been mostly empty, maybe one or two other tables. I truly think this place has a lot of potential. The food doesn't need a full overhaul just a few small adjustments, which honestly feel like easy fixes. This review isn't meant to offend, but to help. I genuinely like the restaurant and the atmosphere, and I hope to see it improve. read more

We ordered the boscaiola with extra chicken and linguine arrabbiata. Do not even bother adding extra chicken. It was $5 for a few pieces of tiny chicken cubes. The linguine was supposed to have tiger prawns but I only got a few pieces of frozen small shrimp. read more

First time at La Pasta and I was very happy I gave this restaurant a try. The complimentary bread with oil was delicious and freshly made. We started off with a green salad, it was so good and tasty. We had the seafood pasta and salmon dish with vegetables as our main courses. Both were delicious and freshly made. We received a complementary birthday slice of a heavenly chocolate mousse dessert. It is a cute and clean restaurant. The staff was so kind and helpful. I was very impressed. The restaurant is located in a corner of a strip mall with lots of parking to the front. Give this little gem a try, you will be happy you did. We were so hungry that I forgot to take pictures of the food. read more

Una experiencia Única. Para comenzar: calamares fritos sencillamente deliciosos mixeado con zuccini y zanahoria en tiritas...acompañado de una salsa marinará arreglada no muy ácida como en otros lugares. Mi orden Seafood spaguetti ... me hizo retroceder el tiempo más de 35 años .. hay un lugar en ajijic Jalisco Mexico..por nombre El Tejaban.. alli cocinaban una pasta como la que comí hoy.. Pan recién horneado en tu mesa y te sirven aceite de olivo con balsámico reducido,,perfecto... El servicio sin prisa , agradable y NO necesitas pedir nada porque lo tienes todo. Un Ambiente agradable, familiar estilo italiano.. donde predomina la madera y el color café y No faltan las botellas de vino expuestas en racas para vinos en la pared.. Para cerrar un tiramisú.. flameado con cognac.. 100% recomendable.. Tengan una excelente noche bendiciones. read more

We came to this spot to celebrate a friend's accomplishment and the service was patient and friendly with us. The pasta was delicious. They also gave bread to dip with olive oil and I believe balsamic vinegar. We shared two desserts the tiramisu and bomba (ice cream dipped in chocolate) both were amazing! The place has a chic modern look with a unique music playlist. Our waitress was good at making recommendations and we enjoyed a bottle of wine, Chardonnay. I would come again! read more

Honestly everything we've tried here is so good. The service is sweet. One gentleman in particular is top tier, he's also the bartender sometimes. The cocktails were good but my nonalcoholic drink (passionfruit lemonade) was way better. We've had the the calamari, Salmon which has a creamy lemon flavor sauce with veggies, the penne pink pasta with shrimp, the Boscaiola pasta with sausage, and the Margarita pizza. All delicious. The bread is awesome when not over baked. It's my new fav date night spot because it's very peaceful and near by. A little pricey but honestly worth it. read more

La Pasta a family owned italian restaurant with all the classics - ranging from traditional pastas to pizzas to sandwiches as well as protein entrees. i looove a good cheesy mozzarella stick and my motto is: if it doesn't pull, i don't want it and thankfully, la pasta's did !! their calamari is packed with flavorful seasoning and i loved that they added fried carrot and zucchini strips too. I got both their fettuccine alfredo pasta and boscaiola. Afredo is super creamy and thiccc and while it was good, my fav was their boscaiola! BBQ chicken pizza is also great - pretty big slices. Their tiramisu is SOLID and my only complaint is that i wish i had more (btw portion size is pretty big to begin with) overall, if there's one thing they're doing right - it's flavor. PRO: they also give complimentary bread + olive oil :D read more
