Nivriti JaieOctober 18, 2014Best Italian food. I was once confused with choices, and a lady at another table whispered " Try anything, everything is good here". Must try their shrimp Ravioli shrimps that come with smoked chicken

Hamilton Fortuna BautistaMarch 28, 2019Hands down one of my top three Italian restaurants I've visited ever and I have eaten plenty of pasta in Italy and not much compares to the food here. Also, their fried calamri is P E R F E C T!
Pelin Güvenç KefelMay 9, 2018I bet everything on the menu is so good, so far I’ve tastes 4 items and they were all amazing!

Ophelia BradleyAugust 29, 2019All the dishes are great! Hard to pick just one but I do love the Cajun chicken (anything w a kick really); I’ve celebrated a couple birthdays there!
Deema MSeptember 30, 2015Go for Fettuccini alfredo . Cheese and spinach ravioli with pink sauce, gnocchi with garlic creme sauce and thank me later😋😋SO SO DELICIOUS ! 😋
Natalia KrystelMay 5, 2018Reservations are a must. Restaurant is always packed. Tried the vegetable lasagna and loved it. Can’t wait to go back.
Steve McDonnellOctober 5, 2011Great bread and small garden salad w grilled chicken is a good, healthy option. You can also substitute raw or sauteed veggies for pasta. Great restaurant but not your 'classic itallian' place.
Neel VasaOctober 17, 2014Amazing place for a group dinner or a date. Really want to try the gnocchi and pillows next time. Lasagna was really good.
Fried pillows! Love the stuffed gnocci and shrimp dish w substituted pink sauce or create own pasta dish w pillows, artichoke, shrimp, capers and pink sauce. Fritto misto app and tiramisu good too.
Jinnie LOctober 17, 2014we had calamari appetizer, spicy shrimp ravioli, atomic pasta, fried pillows, and flourless chocolate cake. so good♥
Bianca GonzalezAugust 9, 2014artichoke stuffed gnocci with shrimp and basil cream sauce - warm and gooey, melts in your mouth, perfect for cold night
Maryna CherniavskaMay 8, 2014The lobster ravioli are wonderful but expensive. Jumbo ravioli are good. Fritto Misto appetizer is enough for 4 as an appetizer and for 2 as a main course.
Really delicious fresh pasta, with large portions. Gluten free and whole wheat pasta options also.
Metin ErduranFebruary 4, 2016Great pastas. You must know you will wait for a table at least 10 mins...
paulmlMarch 14, 2018Got the shrimp pasta with the garlic cream option! Very good! Large portions too..consider sharing!- The food and service are great. I highly recommend the Chicken Marsala or Jumbo Raviolis. If it is your first visit, they will most likely give you a free dessert.
Ross StewartSeptember 18, 2012Plan ahead this place can have 90mins wait time - so stop by on a Monday for an early dinner. Pasta parcels with pesto is an easy favorite.
Maria NecocheaAugust 8, 2014Amazing pasta, nice service and great place to enjoy with friends and family! A must
Hak Private ✈️☀️😎July 21, 2015Nowhere near to be an authentic Italian restaurant. Spaghetti came as vermicelli type, overcooked ( even though specifically asked for al dente), all soft and sticky.At least it's a no go for Italians
Lysandra Carter-AaronApril 15, 2013You can bring in your own drinks! Which is awsome! Also their lobster ravioli was delicious, with the garlic cream sauce.- Addison JonesJune 24, 2015My date made their own pasta and I had the spicy shrimp ravioli! They were both great.
April PfenderFebruary 16, 2013Make your own creation! Pillows stuffed w ricotta are al dente - get chili cream chipotle sauce & add chicken ... Ridiculously good
Ting WongSeptember 3, 2013Warm bread, spicy shrimp ravioli, short rib beef ravioli, fast service, need I say more?
Giles ThorntonDecember 20, 2016The create your own pasta menu is incredible. Amazing food for amazing value.
Lara WalkletApril 10, 2014Portions are big and the food is very tasty. Fair prices, great lemon cake.
Tony GrotticelliJanuary 24, 2014They have brown rice noodles. It tastes so good! Great find in this area of town.
Betty KaoMay 31, 2010Love this place. Been going for 15 years. Not too kid friendly. Long wait time. But soft, warm bread, jumbo ravioli, black linguine... Yum.
roxan63February 11, 2010casual trattoria - make your own dish -you can choose your favorite pasta, source and topping like chicken or seafood or vegetable and so on.
lisa tranNovember 20, 2012Pink sauce! Gnocchi isn't the great though :/ opt for the build your own pasta for a good deal :)
Tom OdellSeptember 3, 2011You could drive all over Los Angeles looking for pasta & you wouldn't find anything better than Fritto Misto. Go early or late. Always packed.- Dana ForsFebruary 18, 2013First timers get a free dessert! Go for the flour-less chocolate cake of you can!
Kathleen DoreJanuary 17, 2012Amazing pasta!!!!! The pillows, ravioli and gnocchi are a must try!!!!!!! FIVE STARS!!
Bob DiNataleFebruary 15, 2012The food & service are good, but you won't find meatballs or meat sauce. First Italian restaurant in 64 years with that issue.
