Pasta sister's has been my go to pasta spot for years! I've never had a dish here I did not like…read more My favorite sauce and pasta combination is pesto with spaghetti but any cut will do. The pesto is fragrant and aromatic. The spaghetti pairs perfectly with it and always has a nice bite. My backup order is the lasagna that has a smooth and creamy béchamel that stands out from others I've had. Delicious. Lastly, I never leave this place without grabbing my favorite pastry Sfogliatella. This is a flaky layered dessert with a sweet ricotta filling and usually some type of citrus fruit filling. Croissants wish they could taste this good.

Firstly, I will start this off with the fact that I work down the street with about 50 people other…read morepeople who often hungry and have probably never been here. I was on my way to another store + saw this place and got excited as I am italian. I played it safe + got the traditional spaghetti with tomato + basil. It was good ! Pasta is freshly made but I did ask for more sauce and was told there was a charge for it. Which is fine, but I would have liked to been informed on how much said charge would have been. They do a nice touch with the administration of the olive oil + vinegar for the bread. :) I would return again, this is definitely a neighborhood place that either you stumble upon as a local or you work in the area. I guess my point is as a new customer, you never know what kind of reach people can have. And the pasta in my opinion, did need more sauce. Either that or grandma marie who is from Sicily has been doing it wrong for 97 years.

The decor inside was cute and unique, with an area of the wall displaying their certificates from the city. There is also a good size patio and a small parking lot for guests. We came in shortly after they opened for the dinner shift so our server was a nice lady who ended up being the owner's sister. She was very attentive and friendly. To start off, we ordered some $9 cocktails and $11 martinis on their Happy Hour. For an appetizer we enjoyed the Insalata Cesare, which was simple yet tasted unique and delicious. For our mains we ordered the Pappardelle Alla Domenica and Beef Lasagna. The Pappardelle Alla Domenica is a must try, being advertised as Mamma's special that was featured in the Los Angeles Times. The sauce was light, yet garlicky and packed with flavor from the sausages. Also the Beef Lasagna was delicious with a nice ratio of all the layers.

The lettuce in their salads is also not fresh. Portions are tiny, everything is WAY overpriced. Have to admit my entree tasted good though.

Or for only a few dollars more you can go to Della Terra (fine dining Italian) in West Hollywood, which is fabulous.

For some odd reason, a lot of Italian spots have seemingly cropped up overnight in Echo Park and…read morethe greater region. Out of sheer luck, my best friend decided to chose this spot for our girls' night dinner, and we have decided on consensus that we savored every bite of our meal. We started our meal with the absolutely delectable focaccia erbraica, a cinnamon roll looking starter bread with olives, currant and a generous sprinkle of rosemary and salt. It came with a pad of homemade honey butter and a dab of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. It was so umami and paired with the butter seemingly melted in our mouths. We also countered that carb bomb with deliciously charred broccolini with walnuts and a squeeze of citrus. Highly cruciferous veggies should only be grilled based on how fast we cleaned our plate. As for the entrees, the plates are meant to share, but I skipped lunch and ate my own bowl of mafaldine short rib pasta (yes you read that right). It was so hearty and satisfying. As a kid, I loved stealing the cooked lasagna noodles and eating them by itself when my mom would make lasagna, so having it on my own bowl of pasta (in the form of mafaldine) gratified my inner child. The short rib was so tender and it was perfectly sauced. I could have eaten another bowl. My friend ordered a steak and a rigatoni alla carbonara, and while I didn't try the former, the latter rigatoni was so delicious as well. For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu, and luckily the last one of the night. It had equal parts espresso soaked cake and cream, and it was the perfect sweet note to end our epically delicious meal.
