Pasta Sisters – A Slice of Italy in LA

Pasta Sisters feels like stepping into a small, cozy trattoria you might stumble upon while wandering through the streets of Florence. The design is simple with wooden tables, homey touches, and a few seats at the small counter. The Culver City location is bigger than the one location on Pico Boulevard. The open kitchen setup allows you to watch the magic happen in the kitchen with chefs making fresh pasta and sauces.

Pasta is the star here with everything made in-house daily. The noodles have a perfect al dente texture and the flavors are fresh and deeply satisfying. Whether it’s their simple Cacio e Pepe, their rich and creamy Fettucine Alfredo, or the indulgent Pappardelle Bolognese, each dish feels like a celebration of the Italian tradition.

We opted for the delicious Carbonara, which they only serve in house and won’t let you take it to go because it will compromise the flavor. The freshly made pasta combined with the guanciale and cheese make this a must order dish. We took home some of the Bolognese sauce which was equally delicious.

The concept at Pasta Sisters is simple, choose your pasta from spaghetti, tagliatelle, pappardelle, penne or homemade gnocchi then choose a sauce from tomato and basil, arrabbiata, Bolognese, pesto, three cheeses, porcini mushrooms, salmon and cherry tomatoes, clams, bottarga, black truffle, carbonara or salmon and cream.

They also offer delicious butter lettuce and arugula salads, lasagna, chicken Milanese, chicken scallopine, roasted wild salmon, a variety of sandwiches, and desserts including tiramisu, apricot pie, chocolate and ricotta pie, Nutella pie, panna cotta, chocolate salami and homemade cookies.

Pasta Sisters is not just another Italian restaurant in LA. It’s a small package with a huge payoff of delicious pasta and Italian dishes. It’s also very affordable. Whether you are looking for a comforting place for dinner or wanting to pick up pasta and sauces for eating in, Pasta Sisters is a perfect place to visit.
