    After a three day girls trip with my sister and our daughters at Disneyland we all were craving some pasta before the long 6 hour trek home. Pasta Sisters had popped while searching and the homemade pasta + outstanding overall rating lured us right over! Plenty of seating both indoor and outside under a covered patio. Even though you order your food at the counter first you can still sit down to be served like at a typical restaurant which is what we opted for. The owner and staff were so warm and welcoming. I felt like I was entering an Italian mother's home for dinner. Hospitality was superb! I loved how they had a display of the types of desserts, drinks, and pastas for you to get a good visual of before deciding. We ordered: Tagliatelle with wild salmon, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic (8/10) - I wished I got cream, personal preference Tagliatelle with wild salmon, cream, and parsley (9/10) Tagliatelle with wild salmon, cream, and parsley + burrata (9/10) Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe (9/10) Tiramisu (12/10) DON'T SLEEP ON THIS During our dinner we were served complimentary focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This was the most delicious focaccia I've ever had! Fluffy and airy but gave great chew. We all couldn't get enough. I think some sprinkled salt baked into the top would've made it that much better but that's just me! You're probably wondering why did I knock off one star? Well, all our pastas were cold, as if they were sitting too long before being served. We still devoured everything but having it at the correct temp would've be phenomenally better! The manager was super apologetic and stated her cooks take pride in how they present their dishes and this could've contributed to the cold plates. Then my sister ordered an Italian affogato which they forgot about for quite some time. Again, the manager apologized and got on her staff about this. Now, when in the area again would we return? Absolutely!

    I've been waiting to go to this pasta place for years since it was featured on Buzzfeed's Worth It. It did not disappoint! I wanted to try their featured pasta from the show but was bummed to find out it was discontinued. However their bolognese and their spaghetti clams were delicious! The pasta was the perfect texture and each respective sauce was flavorful and tasty. A perfect date spot! 10/10

    Service and staff was 5/5. Such warm and friendly kind staff. This place is very dog friendly! 2 patios for dog dining. The mozzarella cheese is phenomenal. The cold caprese salad very delicious. Pasta was good. A bit pricey $125 for 3. Would come back to try additional items and for the friendly staff. Very clean and organized.

    We got the 1. Clam pasta 2. Truffle 3. Salmon and tomato We all thought the clam was the best. The pasta itself had a unique texture to it. Very chewy and tastes homemade. My boyfriend did not really like it because it is definitely more al dente than al dente but I liked it. The free bread is also really good. Service is quick and space is large so the wait isn't long.

    Salmon & Cream pasta!
    Jeanette C.

    Pasta Sisters has a cozy & vibrant atmosphere that's perfect for a girls luncheon date! My friend and I came about an hour after they opened, there was plenty of seating. To add, there's tons of natural lighting to bask in and take pictures. No picture, not even the one I'm posting does their salmon & cream pasta justice. I typically enjoy my salmon very simply - pan fried with salt and pepper to season. But this dish was delicate, yet flavorful (giving a personal rating of 4.6/5). Lastly.. don't be fooled by the appearance, this portion was super filling! Also wanted to note this restaurant has a friendly staff that's knowledgeable and willing to explain any of the menu items in depth. I really appreciated the staff since my friend and I were interested in so many items and took our time narrowing down our final choices. Looking forward to trying their gnocchi and tagliatelle the next time I'm in the area :)

    Food: Bolognese with Tagiatelle pasta and buratta: - Tagiatelle was cooked perfectly al dente and there was enough meat sauce to ensure the noodles didn't dry out - Sauce had good tomato flavor and meat - Burrata: Not recommended ): for $8 the burrata is from Sogno Toscan, not made in house. It was good, but not enough for me to get again. Stick with the pasta Service: - Order at the counter and then they bring you your food - Lots of seating inside and outdoors on 2 patios

    First ever Pasta Sisters experience!! Came for a weekend lunch and there wasn't much of a wait. It's one of those spots where you order at the register and then they seat you. I am a sucker for those spots that give you olive oil and balsamic vinegar with your bread so I was sold from the get go. The pasta also was soo good. I will say don't expect any crazy flavor blasts but know that you won't come out feeling the post carb sluggish food coma after. The noodles were also perfectly cooked. I love the kind of casual vibe this spot was giving and it definitely fulfilled my pasta craving that weekend.

    Mushroom Pasta so good
    Judy L.

    Delicious pasta, service and great atmosphere. There's a lot of seating outside and inside. You order at the register, grab a number, pick a table and they'll bring your food to the you. We ordered the Mushroom Pasta, Argulua Salad and Clam Spaghetti. The mushroom pasta wasn't covered in sauce, it had a perfect hint of flavor and every bite was great. We also appreciated the fresh clams in the Clam Spaghetti and my husband enjoyed that dish a lot. We shared the Arugula salad which was a great way to start our meal but the salad alone can be a meal in itself. We'd definitely come back.

    The dessert! Yummy! All three!!!

    First time here. Got treat by my nieces. You order at counter and then wait for them to bring food. I like the service if a server but it was ok nice staff . Clean and nice but only seating outside maybe a few seats inside. Food looked great I had two favorites, pesto, and forgot the name of other. Pasta was good but had better. But the dessert was heaven!! Tiramisu, Panna cotta I believe that was and then we had a vanilla ice cream and poor espresso over it so good! I would go back for sure for desserts. A good place to try .

    So Myra seems to comment on every single review like trying to tell everyone that there food has fresh ingredients and blah blah blah she sent me a message discrediting that the food tasted bland and lacked true flavor instead she decided to care about the service like listen sometimes you have a bad experience and Italian food is not hard to make in fact pasta is one of these dishes that is relatively inexpensive in ITALY let me say that again IN ITALY PASTA IS CHEAP TO MAKE and has lots of flavor so I'm not accepting her comment thanks guys

    The pasta dishes are too salty despite it being fresh. The service workers are good and hard-working. The sauce is nothing noteworthy. Considering the price is also kind of high, so I am not sure if I would come back again. The ambiance is nice to socialize though.

    Fancy eating, quality Italian and without the pressure too! I've been wanting to try Pasta Sisters for quite some time, but just never found myself in this area of SoCal. After watching a play nearby, we decided to stop by for dinner and we happened to do so during their Happy Hour. There's plenty of parking in the structure in the back that the restaurant shares with the plaza. You order, you take your number to your table, and they bring out the food for you. They have a point system here and lots of customizability as well as weekly and monthly specials. If I were closer, this would definitely be a place that I'd frequent often. There's limited indoor seating, but plenty of outdoor covered seating and just in general outdoor seating. Loved that there was a small jar of tiny fresh cut flowers on each table. Made it feel cute and nice! For our dinner, we got the: 1) Ravioli of the week: -This was their homemade ravioli filled with sauteed spinach and ricotta cheese. -You get the option of choosing the sauce that comes with your ravioli (either tomato and basil, arrabbiata, or butter and sage) and I took the worker's recommendation and got the arrabbiata. -Delicious tangy tomato flavor with a kick that went well with the creaminess of the inside of the ravioli. 2) Roasted Salmon Filet: -Comes with your choice of 2 sides, we got the roasted broccoli and mashed potatoes. Both were very solid. Can never go wrong with mashed potatoes and the broccoli gave a nice added crunchy texture. -Salmon filet was super moist and buttery and went great with the squeezing of the lemon. 3) Black Truffle Pasta: -Simple Italian black truffle with butter. -You can choose the pasta, so we got the fresh pappardelle. -My brother made the comment that this is just the Italian version of hand pulled chili oil noodles you'd get at a Chinese place, and I'm like, "So true!". Again, another wonderful depiction of convergent evolution. -Rich umami taste made this dish super easy to eat and addicting. 4) Cold Cuts and Mozzarella Plate: -We got this with the mozzarella since the burrata was out, but still delicious. -Comes with some arugula and a mix of speck, mortadella with pistachio, porchetta, and salame. -Goes great with the complimentary plate too. All the pasta and dough used had the perfect texture, absorbed the sauces, and had wonderful seasoning. Definitely a place where you get to enjoy the quality of the ingredients and the food without being overwhelmed by too much. Each meal comes with complimentary focaccia bread and balsamic vinegar and olive oil or you can dip it into the leftover sauce. The waiter came by and checked on us constantly, making sure we had the parmesan and crushed peppers, to see if we needed anything, and to clear away our plates. We added 2 glasses of pinot noir to our order, which is $5 during Happy Hour, but we weren't charged, so I went up to the front to pay for it. It somehow, bizarrely became $17, but oh well, I'm willing to pay it for the service. Overall, a great dining experience and can't wait for our next visit.

    Went here agin last night!! Pasta is always fresh. Service last night was a little lacking, had to ask for a couple things multiple times. It wasn't super busy either. Porcini mushroom was also a little cold but the clam pasta was super hot! Cute to sit on the patio with heaters

I had reached out via email to inquire about their late policy due to our work schedules (I wanted to try to schedule the Valentine's Day booking but felt like it would be too late). Magdalena, one of the owners, had got back to me and responded that they were flexible and recommended the booking for the day after if it would better accommodate our schedules and that the Valentine's Day snack would be available to purchase, which was very reassuring for me. Upon our arrival, not only did they remember me from our one email communication, they had already set aside the Valentine's Day snacks for us. Very thoughtful! The wine selections were either for red or white for blending and cause my fiancée and I wanted to try the best of both worlds (we both had selected white initially), they were able to accommodate the change with no hesitation. Our instructor, Dave, was amazing and the guided class was full of fun information and neat anecdotes. The guided class was very helpful in identifying things to look for in wine which can contribute to certain attributes, like taste, sweetness and such. Very light-hearted and, again, an amazing experience. Highly recommend for a date night or those who just want to learn more about wine. Oh and they also let you cork your own bottle!

The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great!

I've enjoyed a wide range of wines from an orange one day, a pinot next, a buttery Chardonnay or a spicy Syrah.

    I think this restaurant is a hidden gem for food enthusiasts! I love how Thai cuisine is getting…read moreincorporated with several other types of cuisines in LA, and Cardinale du Vin is one of the few that can make fusion food well. Unfortunately, I think the vibe is completely off with this type of food, and I think it's hurting their customer base (I.e, there's a sports watching day, and live DJ?, but the food is definitely more for upscale vibes). I also didn't know they have a rotating menu with different chefs, so when I came in craving for something like steak frites and find out the don't have it even though their sample menu lists it on their website, it kind of throws my mood a little. Moreover, their wine list is not extensive considering it's a wine bar, and wine mentioned in their name :) Anyways I've digressed. With this special menu, I ordered the scallop tostada and maitake taco. The scallops were very fresh, and it was a very well balanced dish. I would totally order this again! The maitake mushroom was exploding with flavors, though I find the sauce a little too salty for my taste. If I came here just for food, I'd come back and try new things!

For this particular visit in early April 2025, me and a couple of friends came in for a wonderful meal from resident Chef - Paul Chuanchasit. Check their respective IG accounts for the timing and menu info etc. The chef has actually done pop-up dinner nights here previously and I wanted to go, but was unable to for whatever reason. So I was excited to make a reservation during his residency! The menu is streamlined, which is great. I would say that the menu has influences from different cultures, both eastern and western, but with the backbone of Thai cuisine. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We ordered: -Shrimp cigars -Oyster (and scallop) Cardinale -Salmon tartare -Steak frites -Pork toro panang (with some roti on the side to sop up the sauce) -Calpico ice cream (with fig jam and crispy rice) And of course plenty of delicious wine! I was also able to play some of my old French records on their record player on the later side with was fun! On a side note: also came here in the morning during a previous visit and had the biscuits and gravy, which were also very awesome. Enjoyed that meal with a nice cup of coffee while watching some sports.

My sister and I came in without reservations around 8pm and they sat us inside on the counter after 10 minutes of waiting. They were pretty full for table dining. We ordered: Steak Tartare (4/5) - Bread was perfectly oiled & crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. The tonnato was very umami and made the dish but the steak itself was alright. Spicy Pomodoro (3.5/5) - This didn't hit as hard for me; I wished it was more spicy and I didn't taste any truffle. Pasta itself was perfectly al dente. Sweet Corn Agnolotti (5/5) - This was delish! Make sure to get equal parts of the pasta, sauce, corn, and crème fraiche (like a light sour cream) to get that flavor explosion. Creme was a little sour, corn was sweet, and the agnolotti was salty; perfect bite fr. My only negative is that this dish was too small for $28 :(. Blood Orange Pavlova (4/5) - A truly layered dessert because if you ate the sorbet by itself, it would be too sour but otherwise, another flavor explosion. The pavlova was thick and you really have to jam your spoon in to break the pieces apart. Service was friendly and fast! Overall, I'd come back!

When I went to order at the counter, the staff said we could sit and they were serve us, which I wasn't expecting at all! I really appreciate they that have both the fast-casual order style and the sit down and enjoy style duality to this restaurant. I got the chai latte and a hummus bowl with falafel (though as I write this I can't remember if that was the actual menu name of the dish). It was delicious--the falafel was one of the best I've ever had taste wise, and a bit on the airy side instead of being super dense, which I appreciated. Sometimes falafel is too dang dry, and they really got it right. The hummus was phenomenal. I'm really such a sucker for a good, quality hummus and it was so creamy and the oil they topped it with was wonderful too. The veggies were fresh and the pita was such a star: it was thick and chewy and clearly freshly made. Immediate 5 star for the food. So glad I stopped by here and will definitely be back!

The ambiance is perfect and the smell from the kitchen catch you as you walk in. We ordered a lot of dishes and shared family style among the 6 of us since the food curation is so unique. Everything tasted outstanding! All starters and mains were perfectly prepared and the bext in flavor and quality. We had the braised short rib, yellowfin tuna ceviche, whipped ricotta, mussel toast, grilled octopus, bavette steak, rainbow trout, and lamb sirloin. I seriously felt like I was one of those judges on a Food Network show with every first taste as it was THAT GOOD! The wine and beer selection was fantastic. I had a glass of the Marcio Lopes - Laranja and a glass of the Mammoth Pilsner. Our server, George, was fantastic and he ensured that our glasses were full and explained the preparation of every item. Plus he grabbed a snap of us prior to the meal. Thanks George! This was a memorable outing and I can't wait to come back during lunch time before I leave town. I can't recommend ESMÉ enough.

The bruschetta was super fresh, light, and a great starter. The tomatoes were juicy and bright with that classic garlic and basil flavor. Nonna's meatball was also really good. It was tender and the marinara that had that slightly sweet, tomato-forward flavor with parmesan melted into it. And paired with the bread, it felt very comforting. The rigatoni vodka was solid. Pasta was cooked well, nice and al dente, and the sauce was creamy and so rich. The margherita pizza was a little on the smaller side, but honestly perfect for the two of us ladies to share alongside everything else. The tiramisu was a really nice way to finish the meal. Light, creamy and balanced. I loved the vibes here. Dim lighting, cozy ambience, and the service was pretty fast. I would definitely come back again.

Parking is scarce of course so just park in the neighborhood and walk. The space is big! Plenty of seating inside and outside.

It's really hard to be in a joyful mood when you are not being attended to. I did receive a glass of water at the very beginning, that was nice, after that everything was basically as if I was invisible. They brought my food out fast, I wanted to ask for sauces, more napkins & no one checked in on me. Maybe because I came during dinner time? The bartender is gold -- he was more attentive than the whole staff the entire time. I am sad to say that this truly made my food non exciting and very blah. I've been here before for breakfast and it has been great, bummed that wasn't today. As a single eater, I felt extra lonely. Sincerely, Anonymous foodie x
