First time enjoying this gem! Staff was so friendly and patient while we decided what to enjoy. Went on a Friday mid afternoon, not busy at all. You order at the counter and they give you a table number. We sat on the back patio, lots of seating and shade. Lots of seating and super clean. Bolognese pasta was scrumptious topped with burrata! Focaccia bread was warm, soft and so flavorful. Ended the meal with a taramissu that was made to perfection! Left full and happy! Carb heaven read more

I went here last night as a fun date night. Ordering was super easy, essentially build your own pasta unless you get one of the speciality ones. We were immediately brought free bread and oil with vinaigrette, courtesy of dining in. Getting water was self serve pitchers. We actually finished our bread while waiting for our pasta, and were offered more which was great! The pasta itself for both dishes were cooked very al dente. The sauce on the three cheese was good, and the amount of pasta was pretty good for the price. The bolognese was very average, I would say it probably needed much more seasoning than it had. The bread also was very plain, but it was nice to have extra to use when wiping my plate clean of sauce. Lastly, the dessert was free because I downloaded their app, which was awesome. I've never had this dessert before, but it was just the right amount of sweet. Overall, I had a good experience and will probably be back to try their pesto. read more

I finally made it here during the Italian festivities in Culver City. The place was packed and line was out of the door but the staff handled everything perfectly. I dined with a friend and her kids. Our orders filled up the table quickly. We had appetizers, pastas, desserts and drinks. We started off with complimentary bread. Four big servings of pasta, tomatoes and burrata, pana cotta and tiramisu. Plus different types of lemonades. Now I know why the place is very popular. Aside from excellent service, the portions were generous, pastas were al dente, desserts were heavenly, burrata/tomato was the perfect combination for pastas and the lemonades were refreshing. I'll stop gushing now over this place because I'd like you to find out for yourselves if you haven't been. read more

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 read more

Service here has really plummeted over the years. The first time I came was years ago, and it was an amazing experience. It was easily accessible, the food was good and the service was spot on. This year, I went twice introducing Pasta Sisters to different people. Both times, the service was maddeningly disappointing. We would make requests for refills or water, and they would promise to be back, but they'd never show. So many times, we've tried to help ourselves (because the stuff is sitting by the queue line), but someone would say a waiter would come by our table. At some point, we'd ignore them to help ourselves because we would be waiting for nearly 30 minutes or longer. There's no excuse for them. Both visits were done on days that weren't busy. There were plenty of employees and not too many customers. We flagged down waiters several times, and each of them would promise to come back. They never came back of their own accord and never delivered. If you haven't been here before, it's a nice place if you take the employees out of the picture. There are two sections of outdoor seating with a nice breeze and some shade. The quality of the pasta and sauce are superb. However, after being disappointed by its service twice in a matter of months, I don't plan to come back for a while. I wish they would be better because I know they can be. read more

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! read more

Pasta Sisters - Pasta Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Culver City, California

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I got the Pasta Salmon and Cherry Tomatoes and the tagliatelle was so fresh and amazing. However, there were barely any salmon in there for a $21 dish so I was a little bit disappointed but the pasta itself was amazing!

Pasta Sisters is always a favorite! My go-to is the tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce, burrata on top, and a glass of Chianti - such a perfect combo. I've also tried the tagliatelle pesto with burrata, which is really good! Some other dishes my family and friends have ordered and loved are the spicy arrabbiata, spaghetti with clams, and tagliatelle with porcini mushroom sauce. Honestly, everything here is good because the pasta is made fresh, and you can really taste the difference. There's also a parking structure, which is convenient.

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

Service is quick and space is large so the wait isn't long. read more

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 :) read more

Pasta Sisters - Salmon & Cream pasta! - Italian Near Me - Culver City, California

We've been here several times, and it's always busy, so come early if you can. Expect a wait no matter when you go. We've tried three different pasta dishes this time, and they've all been great. The mushroom pasta is my favorite! They also made a simple olive oil pasta for our kid, which we really appreciated. We've never had a bad meal here. My only complaint is that the food is a little too salty--we're always super thirsty afterward. Parking isn't the easiest since the small lot is shared with other businesses, so getting a spot is hit or miss. Overall, we'd definitely come back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

Fresh high quality food, friendly staff and great location - lots of seating, feels so cozy and relaxing and free parking!

Loved the concept of this restaurant. You order at the counter and they'll bring it to you. There's unlimited focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I got the mushroom pasta and my husband got the lasagna. Ingredients are incredibly fresh and the sauces are infused with different herbs. I didn't want the pasta experience to ever end! Will definitely be back in the future to try other sauces and pasta types. If you download the app, you get a free dessert and the panna cotta was incredibly smooth and silky like tofu, and it went perfectly with the strawberry sauce. Highly recommend this place! We spent around $74 for 2 pasta dishes and the arugula salad. The salad had a lovely lemon flavor which went great with the grapes, Parmesan cheese and nuts. Service was incredibly attentive, friendly and efficient. read more

I always see the Pico Arlington one on my way home and that one is a pretty small location. I was in the west side tonight so we decided to go to the Culver location tonight. I didn't know what to expect, I just knew this place had great reviews. The one here is located in the Culver Arts District area which means street parking along the main streets, but we saw there was a back lot for that building. We parked and walked towards Pasta Sisters and came through the back. There are 3 seating areas (front patio, inside, or back patio) and it's the kind of place where you order + pay first, and then get seated. All the employees we bumped into were so nice, the female employee at the register was so sweet and the general manager was super nice as well. I love me a good bolognese so I ordered that with tagliatelle pasta. We also ordered January's special, the seafood pasta, the prosciutto and arugula pizza on focaccia, and paired it with a bottle of the Bruni Poggio D'Elsa bc of my name Love the complementary soft focaccia bread with oil and balsamic even though I didn't eat much of it. The bolognese was just how I liked it. The meat sauce simmered to perfection with the right spices and flavor. The seafood pasta was also very good with shrimp and clams and a spicy tomato bisque sauce. I thought the pizza would have been good if it was fresh. It came very luke warm, but I guess that's not their main star of the restaurant anyway. Overall, 5/5 for the pasta and service. I also enjoyed the location of this one. Will be back to try other combinations of pasta and sauces! read more

Pasta that is fresh to impress! This was our first time to this location. We had previously visited the Culver City location. We were happy to be greeted with great friendly service and pasta that is just as great as we remembered! The dining area is very small so they did have to put a couple tables together for us. We ordered a variety of options, including their pasta with their sauce of the day- The Rosa Sauce, which was their take on a creamy tomato sauce. Which was absolutely delicious. Endless focaccia that was soft and fresh, made my teenage children smile from ear to ear! It is clear that the locals know this is mostly for takeout since their dining area is very small, but if you have the chance to dine in, it's worth it! read more

This is a Culver City staple that never misses. It's elevated yet affordable pasta. You choose the pasta and sauce--my favorite is the porcini mushroom paired with parpardelle (4.75/5). I'm also a big fan of their meat lasagna (5/5). The gooey cheese, savory meat sauce, and al dente noodles are well-balanced. Aside from pasta, Pasta Sisters also offers sandwiches, appetizers, entrees, desserts (I'm always eyeing the tiramisu), and drinks. What makes this spot special is the warm service and cozy cafe feel. After ordering at the counter, you're greeted with focaccia bread and oil/vinegar at your table. There is also patio seating so you can bring your pup! read more

Got DoorDash twice and their top 2 dishes are defiantly their bolognese and porcini mushroom. I recommend getting it with either tagliatelle or pappardelle. Their black truffle was a little too oily for my taste. Overall the quality and price are above average as if it was at a fancier sit down Italian place but the portions are kinda small. Solid take out DoorDash option or causal dine in. read more

Solid casual Italian eats spot! I got the porcini mushroom pasta with tagliatelle pasta and it was pretty good. The sauce was creamy with good mushroom flavor and I liked the al dente noodle texture. I got it with a side of chicken cutlet which was nothing special, just needed the protein. It was a bit overpriced for what it was at $12 though. I also enjoyed the complimentary bread which was fresh, soft, buttery, and crispy. It's nice that the servers come by with free refills of the bread and dipping sauce. Overall, a solid experience here and I would come back if I was in the area craving casual Italian food . read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in LA! I loved the Arlington location and decided to give the Culver City location a try when I was in the area. This location is so much more spacious than its Arlington counterpart and is impressively managed. We came on a Saturday night at 6:30 pm and the line to order and get a table moved pretty quickly; we were at the front within 10-15 minutes. Staff were nice and accommodating. The patio seating was pretty and comfortable as well. As for the food itself, I love how light and flavorful every pasta dish is. Unlike other Italian restaurants where you often tire quickly of the pasta dishes because of the heaviness, Pasta Sisters' dishes last. I particularly like the pesto spaghetti and highly recommend adding the burrata. Pasta was always cooked perfectly al dente. Serving sizes are bigger than they look. Their tiramisu is some of the best too- ordered 2 to-go. Parking is available for free in the surrounding plaza parking lot but it was tricky to park on a Sat night. We ended up finding a free spot on the street right outside the plaza (metered parking was free after 6 pm). read more

I came back this time with a friend and loved the pasta again. We took the Metro E line to Culver City Station, about an eight-minute walk from the restaurant. I got spaghetti bolognese ($18) because I remembered how great it tasted the first time I visited. The spaghetti was wonderfully al dente, and I savored each the texture from each bite. I also enjoyed how the bolognese had a pleasant flavor with the ground beef cooked in red wine and tomato sauce. Also, they always do a great job presenting their dishes. My friend liked how they put shrimp on the clams for his spaghetti. Other than the pasta, the focaccia bread was tasty mixed with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It comes with a natural saltiness. It was a nice side dish before our pastas. Their cucumber water was also refreshing. We went around noon, and it was pretty quiet with only a few other people dining; there wasn't a line to order. The patio area by the entrance was pleasant and not too hot. I hope to come back again as their pasta continues to be one of my all-time favorites. read more
