Pasta spot located inside the farmers market at the grove. There's some parking right by the market if you don't wanna park in the structure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is at the end of the market where there are some tables to sit and eat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Spaghetti carbonara with pancetta: 4/5 I liked the sauce but the pasta was also slightly undercooked. This was my first time trying pancetta and I liked it. The flavor reminded me a lot of Vietnamese bbq pork read more

First time visiting the Grove in Los Angeles and the Farmers Market. Its very overwhelming with all the options, what caught my eye was Pasta Corner with the pasta noodles display. It was 45 mins before closing, but the service was quick. I ordered the pappardelle beef ragu which I found tasty. Until next, Enjoy! read more

Tried this a while back so had to come back for more, the food came out so fresh and hot! Shrimp scampi was so good and very buttery, the Alfredo was creamy and cooked to perfection. It's pricey but super worth - the portions were perfect that me and my bf couldn't finish it and had to ask for Togo boxes ! read more

Gotta say I was really excited to get fresh pasta. And pasta was fresh but slightly undercooked a little chewy and the chicken hard and slightly overcooked. Damn disappointing as one bowl with tip was 33 dollars. Sauce was good and bowl size was decent but slightly let down at this price. Other people did enjoy food so maybe just my plate but both pasta and chicken is just not good. When I got here they were portioning out the fresh pasta. I sent back dish don't want to be unfair and got a spaghetti bolognese. The spaghetti was on spot and bigness had a nice black pepper taste real nice. This place is a little slow so if you are short on time this may not be your spot but food was pretty good read more

Pasta Corner in the farmers market was so delicious! I ordered the Alfredo and absolutely loved it. The portion was huge, and it was so fresh and saucy. They put a ton of grated cheese on top, which completely made the dish--I don't know if they're always that generous with it, but it was perfect. My son got the spaghetti and really liked the flavor of the sauce, but he didn't care for the pasta itself since the texture felt a bit off. I also grabbed a refreshing Italian soda which was great. There was no wait at all and the food came out quickly, though the guy who took our order was just okay, not super friendly. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely return for that Alfredo! read more

I don't know what took me so long to try this spot but I'm so glad I finally did. It's located inside the Framers Market at the Grove tucked toward the back in a corner. I ordered the Tagliatelle Black Squid Ink and it was cooked perfectly. The white wine sauce was rich and the calamari was extremely tender, probably the best I've ever had. They take a minute to get your food ready because they cook everything fresh and the pasta is all homemade. For under $30 this was a great dish with plenty of pasta and calamari. Looking forward to trying other dishes next :) read more

Pasta corner was a bit hard for us to find because it was part of this very large shopping plaza, but ultimately when we did find it there was a bunch of other food spots, but we still decided to try pasta corner because of the reviews, I did love that we could see the pasta being made fresh.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute little pasta spot in the Farmers Market![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't say it's the best pasta I've ever had, but it wasn't terrible. I ordered the ravioli, truffle tagliatelle, and carbonara. They were all cooked perfectly. Food tasted decent. My favorite was ravioli, then carbonara, then the truffle tagliatelle. I appreciate the friendly, fast, and efficient service. You can see the cooks working hard in the back. Some of the front end employees were flirting with each other and their sexual chemistry kind of made dinner a little awkward. Would I come here again, probably not. I can get better pasta somewhere else for the same price. I understand that the prices might be higher than usual because of their location, but I don't think it's worth it. I enjoyed my meal here though! read more

Finally decided to give this place a try after passing by it the last few times I've been here. Plus, I was on a Sundate with my wife, so I had my lil big back partner with me to experience it with! I'll be real with y'all, I was a little hesitant to try Pasta Corner because it was pretty pricey for what you get. Wife and I said screw it, let's give it a try. For having zero expectations it was honestly a solid bowl of pasta. I looove pasta and clams, so naturally I wanted to try the tagliatelle alle vongole. The pasta was perfectly al dente, sauce was flavorful and had body to it. However, it was a little bit on the salty side even for me whose palate leans pretty strongly towards salty. The clams were good. Nothing off about them and no gritty surprises either. If/when I find myself out in this part of LA again, I'd definitely try their other offerings. If my first experience was anything to go by, I'm sure their other dishes are good too. read more

We got the lumache pink vodka sauce. It was incredible, even though I don't usually like pasta. The lumache shells had an interesting shape to hold the medium-thick sauce and was perfectly al dente. The sauce itself was rich and savory, generous amount of cheese and spices-very addictive. Our wait wasn't too long even though they're super busy. My only thing is the $$$ price especially adding chicken breast cubes for an additional $5. However, the food was well made and it's kind of expected in downtown LA. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vibes are grab and go like everything else here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Parking and finding seats is a fight of course, so it's stressful in that aspect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'd definitely return if we're in the area. read more

They make their own pasta! Always a good thing. Parking is a nightmare, so I'd prefer to be in and out, but waiting times are a bit long, so be prepared to pay for parking. I ordered 3 dishes: Some sort of macaroni in marinara with parmesan; pork carbonera pasta; and the fettucini alfredo. The pork Carbonera was a little overcooked (the noodles) and kind of bland. The macaroni in marinara had a rustic flavor, and nicely made fresh! The fettucini alfredo was the highlight. It's creamy alfredo sauce was finger licking good, and the noodles were cooked just right. I'd come here if I had the time to order something else. read more

I've been to the Pasta Corner a few times now so have a pretty good gamut of things to write a review on. That being said, the menu is huge and there are still many more items that sound tasty to try! Pasta Corner is a newer food spot in the Farmers Market Garlic Bread - Def won't get again. It is very garlicky, lingers a lot, but I don't actually mind that too much. I don't know if we had a batch that cross contaminated or something but it all had a shellfish taste to it seafood like squid. I did not enjoy that. The pasta I had though was divine! The Pappardelle Pesto Burrata ($22) has a surprisingly light pesto sauce that was really nice over the thick noodle, a splash of basil and the burrata! Oh~em~gee~the burrata! I live for cheese and as an aficionado of the white gooey ball that is burrata, I do declare this a real good one! I would get this dish over and over again. I actually have gotten it twice already, lol. Spaghetti with meatballs was good, but with others that were amazing, I'd skip it. Pasta Corner has some coupons through their app, too! Which is actually pretty awesome because Italian food in LA can be pretty pricey. You'll find Pasta Corner within the Farmer's Market ~ one of the best places in LA to dine and people watch. read more

It's ok. Could be better. Went there with my kid I got tagliatelle vongole and Alfredo for my kid. She loved it I think it could had used a little more salt and I'm sure that's likely the case with all their pastas. The vongole tasted nice but was gritty and literally sand was in the sauce. I'm confused how these clams were so sandy. I feel like most stores and fishmongers really de grit their clams before you buy them pretty well. I buy clams a lot in LA to make at home and I've never experienced a sandy clam here. So this was disappointing. I will give it a second chance but won't order the clams again will just try something new. And yes I wish they would add a touch more salt to their dishes. read more

I've passed by Pasta Corner a couple times and decided to finally try it when I was previously deterred by the higher menu prices - I have to say the fresh pasta was fantastic! Ordered the Lumache Pink Vodka Sauce and it was delicious perfectly al dente with the most luscious creamy vodka sauce. Would have personally preferred it slightly spicier. Would recommend getting some bread to sop up the rest of the sauce, it's that good. It's located in the original farmers market so it's walk up/self service, but overall a nice spot if you're doing some shopping nearby or craving pasta!

This was place was on the pricier side even thought it's not really a restaurant. Pastas were in the high $20s. Portions were good, I had a little of leftovers. The carbonara was really tasty and tasted authentic to me! Garlic bread was solid and had a great crunch.

The garlic cheesy bread was great. The slices of baguette were soft and airy, with a nice crunch. Very flavorful and great for dipping into sauces. The lumache pink vodka sauce and pasta was incredible. I was craving something with some heat, creamy, tomatoey, and this was it! Perfectly balanced. We added shrimp to the dish but honestly can do without it next time; we found the shrimp to be a little on the saltier side for our liking. read more

Expensive, but good homemade pasta cooked quickly while you wait in the Original Farmers' Market. My kids are incredibly picky eaters, so while we got Asian noodles, they wanted plain pasta and this was the best pick. My daughter loved the pappardelle noodles which are basically like double-wide fettuccine and my son liked the rigatoni. We got the three meatballs, but neither kid really ate them because of how they were spiced. My daughter got the pesto, but they were out of the burrata (which she wouldn't have liked, but I would have), so gave us a mozzarella ball instead. I'm very picky about my pesto and make my own at home regularly and this pesto wasn't disappointing, but was a bit thin and not as garlicky as I like. It also took ~5 minutes longer for the pasta to come out than it took to walk over, order Asian noodles and get the Asian noodles. The past was also quite pricy with it being $40-50 for two pasta bows and meatballs. Overall a sold 4-star. read more

Literally the best place for casual, spur of the moment, pasta. It's definitely not a fancy spot in terms of the environment, but their food tastes so good. Don't get me wrong though, everything is in the high $20 to $30 price range, but it's well worth it. Everyone that works here has been friendly and very approachable thus far, so I have no complaints in terms of that. Same goes for their service.

My wife and I drove out to Fairfax to eat a specific restaurant, but when we saw "all you can eat…read morepasta" on a sign in this places window, Pasta Amore was the new destination! We came here around 1PM on a Sunday and the place was completely empty. The staff up front checked us in, sat us down, and guided us through the menu so we knew what was going on. The menu here has some chicken wings, sides, and other random things, but the unlimited pasta for $13.99 is what we were interested in checking out. Basically, they have a list of different pastas to choose from and if you want things like chicken or meatballs added, it can be for some extra money. Now, I wasn't about to spoil the $13.99 deal so I figured I was about to crush five or six plates of pasta, but come to find out, I was lying. I started off with a plate of the RIgatoni & Marinara and plate came out on literal fire. The pasta was super fresh and actually tasted really, really, really good. After crushing the first place, my confidence was up so I figured I would give the Smokey Chipotle Penne and it was even better then the first dish. The sauce had a little bit of a kick to it, but the flavour was so good I almost ordered it again.....almost. Come to find out, two plates of pasta was the most I was able to finish and I tapped out. Overall, Pasta Amore was a super fun time and definitely a place I could see returning to in the future. The vibes here were solid, the staff was very friendly, and the pasta wasn't just all you can eat, it was actually pretty good.

Honestly, after reading the reviews and hearing about the place on tiktok, I was skeptical of the…read morerestaurant's ambiance, food, and dining experience. I've seen some mixed reviews. Although, I am glad that I stuck with the gut feeling of me giving this place a chance. Not to mention the owner's replies particularly piqued my interest to try this place out for myself and give it an unbiased and honest review. Firstly there is parking behind the restaurant, probably close to 20 places. it is advertised on their website that parking is free for any paying customer of the restaurant, unfortunately there was no parking attendant present when we got there and when we asked about it in the restaurant they let us know that the parking fee was out of there hands and that we should just pay. We came on a Tuesday evening (2/3/26 at 5:15) and the restaurant had some people in it but you can tell it was a slow dinner night. When waiting to be seated, you get a view into the open kitchen space which lets you see the pasta dishes being made. Cleanliness was not an issue for me because I saw that the kitchen was spotless despite the cook being hard at work. My girlfriend and I were seated quickly and the waiter gave us time to look at the menu. We came in knowing we wanted to do the ayce pasta and exactly what dishes we wanted. Our server was extremely hospitable, genuine, and gave us lots of time to think. He came and took our order quickly and was helpful overall. One thing I will say is that the restaurant does NOT offer free water. They only have bottled or sparkling water. Not a dealbreaker, but just something to note. We put in our order for the mushroom alfredo as well as the penne with pink sauce. Both dishes came out fairly quickly and we were ready to dive in. Visually both plates look well made. The food is good for what you are paying. Sauces were legit and well made, not too watery, salty, or lacking flavor. They definitely don't skimp out on the fats either, the butter or cream they use for the alfredo is of high quality. The pasta was a bit over al dente but still very enjoyable, not mushy at all. It's also interesting to see that the detail of parsley was not skipped even though this place is an ayce unlimited pasta. When the pasta came the server also offered us more cheese which was very nice and welcoming. As others have mentioned, portions are rather large and the $5 leftover fee is again, something to note- so getting through more than two plates might be rough for some people. The person who sat us down was also our server and seemed to be helping in the kitchen in the back as well. He was super attentive with all the patrons in the restaurant and made sure that we were satisfied and that all was well. The two of us barely finished our plates and we were stuffed. We expected to maybe try one more plate but we were full. Our server came over and asked if we were going to order more but we let him know that we were full. He was so accommodating and offered to do a half portion of a pasta for us to taste more of the menu. This was such a generous gesture and the service overall was amazing. One last thing to touch will be the ambiance. The restaurant itself isn't hard to miss although it is in an odd location. A little hole in the wall is placed in between another restaurant. Parking isn't bad (although you do have to pay $12 for the nearest lot). The ambiance was a little odd. The decor was not what I would expect from an Italian restaurant, but it didn't take away much from the experience. The lighting was a tad dark with flashing led lights. The real annoying thing was the pop edm music, it was loud and did not positively affect our night. With that said the food was tasty all things considered, and the place is clean with an extremely caring staff. *Please note the review was inflated due to the personable and hospitable service we received as well as acknowledging the price and value considering the area

I politely showed her my reservation which clearly said Dining Room (why even give customers the option if you're not going to seat them properly?) and she acted annoyed/put out. We had to wait an additional 25+ minutes for a table that we had reserved from the start. Finally around 9PM we are seated-- quickly we order two pastas and a pizza. We're told by the server that everything comes out once it's ready and I'm not exaggerating maybe 1-2 minutes later our pastas arrive at the table. A little strange, but whatever. We eat, enjoy the kind-of cold pasta (I believe this was a mess-up order or another table's, hence the speed and lack of warmth) and wait for our pizza. 20 minutes go by.... we finish our pasta. Still no pizza. We'd ordered a very simple white pizza. All around us other tables were getting their pizzas even though they ordered after us. I asked the server (who barely came to check on us throughout) what was going on and thrice she promised it was 'coming out of the oven.' They'd clearly forgotten our pizza, and I just wish they'd have been honest about that. Around 9:30PM, an HOUR after our reservation, we finally get the pizza. By this point I'm honestly ready to go-- especially because next to us are people who were sat and served INSTANTLY apparently because they know someone who works there. As an apology our server offered us free soft serve. While a nice gesture, the soft serve was given to us in the shittiest paper cups and it made a complete mess. We were not offered a price reduction or anything else, and didn't get out until after 10PM. This was the worst dining experience I've had in LA for years. Maybe ever. I kept trying to give the place the benefit of the doubt, but at every turn this was disappointing. The food is NOWHERE NEAR worth the annoyance you'll feel just getting through the reservation.

Not a big deal. But when our remaining two friends came, they sat them with us and brought out only 1 set of utensils, so we had to ask for it again. Just a small detail that had me a bit confused during the experience, but the food itself was great and we'd love to come back when they reopen

UOVO | Mid-Wilshire

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask…read more All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was eating my food in this establishment several months ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The underground parking lot for this establishment is located super close to the restaurant. Each 15 min is $2.75. However customers of Uovo can get 2 hours for free with validation. And 30 min after the 2 hour mark, you get charged $2. However, after that extra 30 min cushion, you will be charged the normal rates. As mentioned by a previous reviewer / good friend of mine, scan your ticket in order to re-enter the parking garage on the right hand side. Food: My friend and I ordered the Cheese and Truffle tasting menu. I have been eating at various Uovo locations, and this was my first time here at this location. I'm a massive sucker for authentic Italian food after visiting Italy back in 2023. This restaurant chain just hits the spot every time. I love how their noodles are flown in from Italy every day. Just an FYI, all pastas were cooked al dente, which was perfect. My friend and I both ordered a glass of white wine. The Pinot Grigio paired very well with the meal. It was light, crisp, and refreshing with notes of pear, apple, and citrus. To start off with, we received a plate of yellowtail crudo. This is an elegant, Japanese-Italian fusion appetizer featuring thinly sliced delicate and buttery soft raw yellowtail in a vibrant citrus and soy dressing. Next, we received the tagliatelle in truffle sauce. I'm a MASSIVE sucker for all things truffle related. I'm just sad that it wasn't truffle season, so we didn't get any real truffle shavings on this dish. Booooo! Jk. Despite not being in truffle season, this dish was top notch. This is a luxurious, rich, silky, mouth watering, and deeply earthy Italian pasta dish. The sauce combines quality heavy cream, freshly grated Parmesan, and black truffle oil. Hands down my favorite dish here at Uovo. Moreover, we next received our pomodoro dish. The dish is exceptionally delicious, which a bright, high-quality tomato sauce. A classic Italian dish that you can't go wrong with ordering. To add on, we then got the classic carbonara. With crispy pork, a velvety and smooth sauce, and a punch of black pepper, this carbonara pasta was a rich, creamy, and a belly satisfying dish. Lastly, we ended our night sharing a tiramisu. It is served in a glass and featuring silky mascarpone, espresso, and a unique hazelnut twist. The portion is designed to be shared in a single cup. A perfect way to end a 10/10 meal. Staff: Karl and Ronaldo are both very attentive, kind, friendly, and helpful. They accept credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

I came 15 mins to closing with a friend, and they still seated us and got our pastas out super quickly. We got the Amatriciana and the Crema di Parmigiano, both of which were so rich and tasty and unlike any pastas I've had elsewhere. The prices of these dishes were also very reasonable (only around $20), which is sooo much better than a lot of other Italian places around LA that serve much more lackluster food. I also must emphasize that the service at this location is impeccable! The servers and chef were all super kind to seat us so late and still give us such delicious food. They even said they could prep the tasting menu for us, but we didn't want to make them go through a 45-minute service at the end of the night. I had an amazing time here and will be back again for the tasting menu another time! Parking can be found on the side streets and in the back for 2 hours!

Also,m for light bites, the pistachio toast was absolutely splendid. Also tried their famous breakfast sliders were just mediocre in my opinion. Personally, I do not like the Hawaiian rolls due to a slight sweetness in their bun which may have been reason for my lower rating when it comes to this order.
