Nora T.

A friend introduced me to this spot recently, and honestly... I get the hype! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The unassuming window by Venice beach serving up delicious pasta, that you can enjoy under the sun with the sound of the waves - what's not to love!?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got spaghetti with pesto and burrata, and my friend got spaghetti alla vongole with shrimp. They were both fresh, perfectly cooked, and delicious! And decent portions too. If you are a pasta purist, you might wince at the chicken alfredo, but my friend, you are in the US after all. Fabio is incredibly friendly and treats you like a guest in his home. Highly recommend stopping by for plate of pasta, and stroll by the beach to burn it off. PS: Ask for chili flakes if you want a bit more of a kick!

Fettuccine Truffle Mushroom Pasta
Kayla L.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]WOW! What a surprise! Fabios Pasta is truly a hidden gem, the kind of cozy spot you might walk past but absolutely shouldn't.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came on a beautiful sunny day and immediately noticed how warm and personal the atmosphere felt.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was so sweet watching the owner interact with a regular, he knew their name and their usual order, which says a lot about the kind of place this is. My partner and I stopped by for a light bite and shared the fettuccine truffle mushroom pasta and their homemade tiramisu. The pasta was perfect, creamy, well-seasoned, and the truffle flavor was balanced (not overpowering like it can be at other places). You can really taste the care in the food. Fabio himself is incredibly welcoming and truly embodies the heart of Italian hospitality. If you're anywhere near Venice Beach, definitely give this place a try and support a local gem. You won't regret it!

Alfredo Bolognese Garlic bread

Food was yummy here!! Prices aren't actually as cheap because some sauces and add ons are more... Service is quick and they bring the food to you once you order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside is cute on the beach in the alley! Heaters too[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Fabio's is one of my favorite gem homemade pasta spots. It's literally a hole in the wall! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The best part is that it's 10 steps from the beach so you can enjoy your pasta while you watch the sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect date night or hang with friends![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is so friendly and as a resident homemade pasta connoisseur, the food is a 10/10!

fusilli + black truffle + italian sausage
Caroline C.

Delicious handmade pasta with an ocean view at a reasonable price? I don't think I can recommend Fabio's enough. Fabio himself was extremely kind and recommended some great pairings. Despite him being the only one working, our food was out very quick. The pasta itself was perfectly cooked with a nice texture. Both sauces were also very fresh, flavorful, and creamy. Solid portion sizes too. You order at the counter and sit outside. Either they call your name or bring it out to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get a little cold at night, but there are heat lamps thoughtfully placed out by the tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of vegetarian and vegan options as well. The beautiful bowls are also such a memorable and unique touch. 100% recommend and I will certainly be back!

This place is a hidden gem! Big variety of pasta that can be customized with different sauces and toppings for very reasonable price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has seating outside overlooking the ocean and by the boardwalk - perfect for a beautiful sunny day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very friendly staff. I'll be coming back again soon!

Entrées: * Gnocchi Bolognese - rich, tomato-forward, and comforting. Adding sausage was a great choice and balanced the dish really well. * Rigatoni Alfredo (with chicken) - creamy, smooth, and satisfying. The chicken added extra protein and made it more filling without being too heavy. Overall: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fabio's is a great choice if you're looking for a casual, local-feeling spot near the beach. Dining outside with the ocean breeze really enhances the Venice experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can be a little challenging to find a table during busy times, but it's worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service & Ambience: The owner was especially friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel warm and personal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating area is shared with other businesses, so be sure to sit only at tables designated for the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Out of courtesy, we also returned our plates after finishing, which felt fitting for the laid-back, local setup.

Carbonara and Pappardelle with bolognese and fresh burrata

Incredible food, incredible service! You can build your own or choose one of the chef selections. Fabio is so kind and helpful! Seriously the best pasta I have ever had, you absolutely MUST stop here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute seating right next to the boardwalk so it's accessible and overall such a great vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will absolutely be back when we are in town! Thank you FABIO!-

Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
Tap D.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute unassuming place in a side street off the Venice boardwalk. Just far enough to escape the noise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute walk up counter order, with quick service, and outdoor patio seating with heat lamps at night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was so fresh, the spaghetti feeling a little extra a la dente. The portions are very generous. We shared a cacio e pepe spaghetti and black truffle papparadelle pasta with added mushrooms. Dont forget the garlic bread, you could every table raving about it next to us! I preferred the truffle pasta over the pepe but they were both nice and creamy!

Food was cold and tasted microwaved * [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute online, disappointing in person[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * Service felt passive aggressive * Overall okay, but wouldn't return

Ricotta Spinach Ravioli and pesto pasta
Kirstin Z.

We went for a friends birthday dinner and I'm so glad I joined. I never knew this little gem existed. You almost don't know this place is there as it's literally a door in the wall with a Window. We ordered a plethora of items and everything was delicious. I especially liked the ravioli that was textured perfectly. The pesto was also really good as well as the spicy rigatoni. We completed the evening with a homemade tiramisu and it was everything I hoped it would be. Fabio was as fabulous as his food! He was smiling the entire time and you could tell took pride in what he cooked. I will certainly return!

A little pasta shop around venice beach. Pasta is delicious, the server is wonderful.

Ravioli
Itzel M.

I ordered the potato gnocchi with the black truffle sauce and added burrata. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so beautifully balanced with black truffle. My boyfriend ordered the ravioli with marinara sauce and added Italian sausage as suggested by the gentleman taking our order. Ravioli was amazing!

I work around Abbot Kinney and am always looking for a decently priced lunch option. Enter Noods. I…read moreabsolutely love noodles, so I was beyond excited to try this spot. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful -- especially for an indecisive person like me -- pointing out what's popular, what they personally like, and what they recommend. I chose to go the "build your own" route and landed on: 1. Base: Chili Garlic 2. Noodles: Yakisoba 3. Protein: Fire-grilled chicken 4. Toppings: Carrots, cabbage, red peppers, sesame seeds, crunchy chili garlic The portions are solid -- I easily got two meals out of one bowl. Since I like spice, they gave me a side of their spicy sauce, which added both sweetness and heat. With all the sauce, it was definitely a bit messy, but the flavor was bold and the kick was real. The noodles and chicken were cooked well, though next time I might choose something a little less intense so I can better appreciate all the ingredients. With that much heat and garlic, some of the other flavors got lost. All in all, lunch for about $25 on Abbot Kinney is a great deal, and I'll definitely be back to try more combinations!

I was curious about this new noodle shop on Abbot Kinney! It's small, with a few cafe tables…read moreoutside and one inside for seating. Most people order to go. The food was made fresh so served hot and the taste was delicious. HOWEVER. I did takeout and didn't look at the container until I opened it to eat. Major disappointment and concern as their thin plastic containers are most likely not heat resistant, which means chemicals leach into food. Cool concept as a store offering only noodle dishes but PLEASE change your serving and takeout containers!!

The sambal wontons were delicious and just the right amount of spice. It was the first time I had the Mie Tek Tek Indonesian noodles, which was like chow mein, but with unique spices that I enjoyed.

While many of the main ingredients could be found in more common Chinese food, the spices were different and sweet and spicy in a Malaysian way. It was delicious and different. The service was really friendly and prompt. It's nice and modern inside. I liked the "antique" type plates which were cute. There's modern music and a cool hip vibe.

And honestly I personally think the food was not too bad but could be better. The roti was good but small. The haianese chicken was good with the sauce! But the nasi bungkus was wrapped in banana leaf but the ratio of meat to rice portions were very uneven. Theyre was a small amount of beef and lots of rice. The laksa had a fishy smell & taste - as if there was a bit too much fish sauce. Overall, for Indonesian & southeast food it's not too bad. The services were good!

I've been sick and only ate a half of a plain bagel all day so I forgot to take photos.)

First time trying JINYA! When visiting this location, expect to find street parking. It wasn't that…read morehard to find parking but maybe because it was Super Bowl Sunday? We were lucky to find a metered parking that already had money in it, yay! There are a bunch of eateries on this street as well. It's a small restaurant inside, but more space outside. Not that busy at all, there were only 2 other parties dining at the same time as us during prime dinner time. I saw they were running a Demon Slayer promotion and I wanted the free spoon haha. So I ordered the Tokyo Yatai Ramen and my friend ordered the Birria Ramen. The waiter or owner(?) who talk our order was also very nice! Very quick and efficient with our order. It didn't take too long for our ramen to be prepared. First glance, it doesn't look like your traditional ramen. It actually looks more Chinese style ramen. Especially the noodles? The texture is not quite the same as traditional ramen shops (and I have been to Japan). The ramen bowl itself was pretty simple, strong flavors from the chicken broth, the pork itself was pretty alright. It's honestly pretty standard but does not have a Japanese feel to it. I tried my friend's Birria Ramen and it's literally tastes like a taco in a bowl haha, which is pretty accurate. So even my Chinese friend likes the birria ramen because it reminds of her this Chinese instant noodle she always has lol. So I guess meaning in a good and bad way, but she still enjoyed it. Overall, the whole experience was not bad. I do only see JINYA in the more 'whiter' communities, so I find this to be not very authentic Japanese ramen. Also it's pricy for what it is when I can get an authentic bowl for $16.

All of the appetizers were rather small portioned for the price. Nonetheless very tasty just a little small for my liking and a dinner table of 5 guests. - The Street Style corn was 3/5 it almost tasted artificially sweet, it came with the smallest serving of pita bread. It took two additional orders of the bread to actually enjoy the appetizer. - The Wagyu hummus was 4/5, tasty but I feel you're mainly paying the sticker price of $35 for the smallest pieces of the meat. - Skirt steak was 4/5 its rather hard to mess up a skirt steak but it could've used extra seasoning. Potatoes on the side seemed to just be thrown next to cuts of asparagus. - Lasagnette Bolognese 4/5 seemed pretty traditional aside from the noodles, it was like uncut lasagna sheets which was a nice twist on the dish but a pretty standard sauce. - Chicken Parm 5/5, the parm was rather large, about two palms together in size. The plate seemed to be slightly spiced which was savory. - Chocolate Souffle was 3/5, nothing too special about the dish, for $18 I was hoping for something a little more savory then a brownie bite sized loaf that may have been baked for a few minutes served next to a very small portion of their 'house made ice cream'. Thank you for the memories, not entirely sure I would be back. My bill of just under $500 did not really seem to be worth it.

Only after that did she direct the hostess to seat us at the bar, a spot typically reserved for walk-ins, and one that had open seats well before we were sat. Keep in mind, we arrived at the same time as those walk-ins. Still, we were grateful to be seated. Service at the bar was fine. Two women helped us: one was the bartender/waitress, who was kind whenever she had a free moment. The other, who I assumed was the manager based on how she interacted with the other guests and staff. Who I assume was the manager seemed to have witnessed how late we were seated, or our exchange with the host, because she was noticeably cold and standoffish toward us the entire time despite my husband and I being polite and smiling through what was already a rocky start to the night. The entire situation made us feel so horrible and icky we walked away feeling like... was that real? Would not go back. I miss when this place was MTN, before ego became such a big part of the service.
