Complementary bread and olive oil with balsamic
Camille W.

Carla, you have been so incredibly helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to help me place my two online orders and redeem my rewards. The Panna cotta here is absolutely delicious. Creamy, smooth and silky. This dessert does not disappoint. There's a hint of citrus that pairs wonderfully with any of the sauces that you get. I highly recommend. Also, their pappedelle noodles are so good

Pasta Bolognese
Mara S.

Honestly, one of my favorite Italian places of all time. I ordered the pasta Bolognese, and it was way more delicious than I remembered. The serving sizes are great, although it definitely is a little more on the pricier side of things. But it's definitely worth it! The service is great, the vibe is great since they have an outdoor patio seating on both sides of the restaurant. I went here for a birthday lunch with friends, and they are very, very accommodating of any allergies. Will definitely be returning very soon!

patio
Yiping K.

This location's back patio is beautiful and although parking's not the easiest, the food is worth it. Service is efficient, both in person and through delivery. For takeout, they even labeled with names which was really helpful for group orders. The black truffle butter pasta was delicious - I'm rarely able to find a black truffle pasta that also doesn't have cheese but the simplicity with the butter and delicacy of the freshly made tagliatelle made a perfect bite. The spaghetti clam pasta was plated nicely and had a good portion of clams, a great seafood option I was happy they offer. The bottarga pasta is my favorite just because it's harder to find and they do it really well. Since it's not creamy, the roe flavor is prominent and the fresh pasta is the best vehicle but I was disappointed to see it's no longer on the menu.

I fwiggin love pasta sisters. Service, quick and easy with quick service ordering and grabbing your own water jug. Ambiance is busy and a bit small, but nice-looking. Food is fwiggin delicious. I've been here so many times and I'll continue to

I gotta say, Pasta Sisters is my favorite Italian restaurant by far! The pasta is always cooked perfectly al dente and one of my favorite things about this place is that you can customize your own pasta dish. I always order the smoked salmon pasta and I also love building my own with tagliatelle, mushrooms, and alfredo sauce. It never disappoints! Whether you're looking for a casual dinner or a cozy date night spot, Pasta Sisters is always a solid choice. Highly recommend!

Parking in the rear. Long line to order for dinner. You can dine inside or outside on two patios. Served with warmed up bread and served with oil and balsamic vinegar, which is the American way though Italians would be shocked. Meat lasagna and an arugula salad with fresh lemonade. Very good but the wait time to order is not great.

Pasta Porcini Mushroom
Mona A.

Came here for my pre marathon dinner the night before to carb load. I ordered the mushroom pasta, and the tiramisu was a lovely dessert. Also tried the lasagna and it was great. The burrata with prosciutto was also amazing. I would recommend getting it for dine in You order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. They said that it was about a 30 minute wait when I called, but I could swear I was waiting in that line for a solid hour. The pasta does come out fairly quickly once you've ordered, but be prepared to wait for quite a while. The service was so amazing, like family. I think it might actually be family owned and operated, but I'm not sure. If it is, that is so cute.

Porcini mushroom Pasta Porcini Mushroom
Payal Z.

Had the Porcino Mushroom pasta at Pasta Sisters in Culver City and really enjoyed it. The pasta was flavorful and nicely prepared. A pleasant spot for a casual Italian meal. It is counter service - they bring the food to you after you pay at the counter. Ample patio seating space.

Pasta Salmon & Cherry Tomatoes
Kristy H.

I've been a long time customer of Pasta Sisters, and it always hits! My favorite is the Salmon and Cherry Tomatoes Pasta. It's tomatoey, tangy, and very light. I also tried my friend's Clam Pasta, and if you like strong clam flavor, you should definitely try this one out. Overall, the quality of the pasta and sauce is always consistently good. There's a free parking lot in the back that's part of Helms (look near Father's Office and behind Arcana). I'm usually able to find parking there!

Back in the day you would get endless high quality focaccia with the loveliest flaky sea salt. Now you're served the saddest dry baguette. I wish they would've outsourced to lees sandwiches for baguettes if they wanted to go this route. Back in the day the pasta was more affordable but alas, que sera sera. It was excessively hot the night I had dinner. I know i should've told the server but I am not exempt from the bystander effect. Everyone was avoiding the heat lamps & moving around to another table looking for respite. The lamps were on so high I could see flames blowing in the wind approximately 6 inches outside of the metal frame. The pasta is still delicious & my husband and I even got to try a new dish (the cacio e pepe). Bolognese papardelle add burrata 10/10 no notes. Ever since I had cacio e pepe in some restaurant in downtown long beach (around the dog haus & ross area), I feel unsatisfied with ordering cacio e pepe elsewhere. I'm Vietnamese & we go hard for black pepper. I still enjoyed the ravioli & liked the added cherry tomatoes & sliced garlic. Just wish it had more pepper. TLDR: I miss the old pasta sisters

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!

Chinotto Lurisia
Icel C.

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.

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!

Parking: We opted for valet, but if you prefer to find your own parking, there's street parking as well as a nearby parking garage. I believe the garage is around $23 for the full day, unless you're able to get your parking validated. Food: Everything came out pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all! For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here!
