Pasta Sisters

I finally understand the difference between pasta out of the jar and made fresh! Pasta Sisters has been on my must try list ever since I saw Worth It's episode back in 2016. 8 years later, I can't believe I waited so long to try (& can't wait to go back)! On a Saturday afternoon, Pasta Sisters was full of hustle and bustle, but the staff were all very warm and incredibly helpful. After entering through the patio, you go through the doors and first order inside before taking a number and claiming a table. There's some limited indoor seating, but with good weather, I highly recommend sitting on one of the patios! The staff opened up the sunshades which let in the most beautiful sunlight. The vibes were **chef's kiss** We ordered the Pesto with Tagliatelle and the Clams pasta (spaghetti only). Both were amazing! The noodles were perfectly al dente and quite substantial. The portion may look small at first but it was perfectly plated, resulting in a very happy surprise of lots of pasta. The pesto was beautifully creamy and well balanced. Eating this pasta made me want to learn how to make pesto from scratch (or stop by Pasta Sisters whenever I get a craving). Between the texture of the noodles and the wonderfully creamy and fragrant sauce, I fell in love with every bite. I didn't feel heavy after the meal either!You also get some amazingly fluffy bread at the start of the meal, which you can tell is made fresh. If I wasn't so excited for the pasta, I could've easily eaten the whole basket! I will say it was a tad bit buttery for my preference, but I am also sensitive to butter. With that said, I still could've eaten every piece, so I wouldn't say the butter was a big issue haha.We parked on the street about a block down, but I did see there was a lot around the backside of Helms Bakery district where Pasta Sisters is located. Nice area to walk around after eating!For the price, portion, taste, and service, Pasta Sisters is a must try! I'm glad to see their business booming ever since the Worth It episode all those years ago. It's set my standard for a casual Italian spot, and I'm drooling to go back.

My favorite pasta place of all time. The pasta here is made fresh and is always perfectly Al dente. The bolognese is so flavorful and meaty--simply delicious. At this location, you order first before they sit you down. I also appreciate how they give you free focaccia bread while you wait for your pasta. Even though you don't have a specific waiter, the workers are very attentive if you need any condiments or anything. It's a pretty casual spot for a pasta restaurant. Highly recommend if you like pasta or even if you don't, maybe this place will change your mind :)

Stopped by on a Friday for lunch right before 12 pm, and there was plenty of space. Everything was delicious!You order first and then sit down with a number. The portions are great if you don't eat as much but if you're starving you can definitely share multiple plates. Nice place to catch up and I appreciate the patio seating.

Parking: There's several lots to choose from, there's one directly behind the restaurant, a lot next to the bakery, and one across the street. No validation needed. Ambiance: plenty of outdoor seating and roughly ~5-7 tables inside. This is an order at the counter and seat yourself situation. The staff are very attentive, they serve free bread with olive oil and vinegar and refill upon request. Food: the food is great! Each entree was ~$20. The best bang for your buck will be the combo entree that comes with 2 sides; I got the chicken Milanese for $19 with a garden salad and mashed potatoes. The mushroom pasta is also great!

I came here on my own on a Friday night at 8 PM and the line was pretty long-- it went all the way out the door. There were tables outside and looked like there was seating inside as well. The wait was about 20 minutes long. I ordered at the counter and was seated at a table outside. When I sat down, they brought over free bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The food came out pretty quickly and I asked for the dessert to come out after I finish my pasta.Tagliatelle with truffle butter: Honestly, I wasn't the biggest fan of this dish, but I guess I prefer stronger flavors. The truffle flavor wasnt as strong as I hoped so it tasted more like butter noodles than pasta with truffle butter. (3/5)Panna cotta: Delicious and creamy! It came with some strawberry jam and was the perfect end to dinner. (4.5/5)

This fast-casual Italian spot is an absolute gem! They offer plentiful outdoor patio seating in the hip Helms Bakery District. The pasta here rivals dishes you'd find at upscale establishments, both in quality and flavor. The portions are fantastic and generous, especially when it comes to the prosciutto--it's a standout. And let's talk about the complimentary bread--it could win awards on its own! The service is friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving elevated Italian food without the formal setting.

Wow! This has got to be one of the best places in LA for fresh and great quality pasta. The menu is extensive and has plenty of options. I have not been to the restaurant itself so I can't speak to service or ambiance. I ordered pasta on uber eats and it was absolutely delicious. The portions are also really substantial and I was able to eat mine for two meals. Highly recommend to all you pasta lovers out there!

We've been wanting to try out this place for a long time now and finally did! We loved the overall ambience - nice strong lights in the outdoor seating area and when you walk to the back, there's semi-outdoor seating with a very cozy vibe.You order at the counter and you'll get a number to put on any table you like. We got porcini mushroom and sorrentina, which is on the "not so secret menu". You are able to choose the type of pasta you like and we also opted to get a side of grilled chicken to share.The porcini mushroom is very creamy and umami! I chose the thickest pasta noodle and glad I did! The pasta is truly al dente (very bouncy texture)! Huge plus: free parking at the back for 2 hours! Will be back to try other ones!

My brother in law got us pasta to-go here, and we loved it! We finally came to try it in-person, freshly made and it was delicious! We ordered at the counter, then we were seated immediately. There was someone helping wait tables and even though it was crowded we got a nice cozy place outside. There were plenty of heaters to keep us warm too! Would come back again whenever we're in the area :)

What a fantastic dish! I have heard of the Pasta Sisters for a while, and having gone to Rome this past summer, I've been craving to find a really good Italian restaurant that actually taste like authentic Italian and not just another Americanised version. Starting off with excellent bread, olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette is the foot in the right direction. The real star of the show, however is this black Truffle Butter Pasta. It is just so delicious! There is a wonderful balance of the Truffle and butter to create a simple dish executed well. Not too heavy, not too salty, and not bland. Portion is just perfect and I ended up very satisfied.
