    Penne Vodka Pollo
    Berenice V.

    I haven't been to pasta Roma in years but was in the area for a museum trip and made my way over for lunch. The pasta is hearty and delicious. The garlic bread rolls are still amazing! The one negative is that service isn't as friendly as it used to be, also a little slower but understandable as it was lunch time on a weekend so I'm sure they had a lot of online or delivery orders.

    This place has been here since I could remember. It has a variety of dishes that you can choose from. It is a family owned restaurant, it's very spacious and welcoming. The owners are there from time to time but whether the owners are there or not, their employees are very friendly. Everything is fresh, especially the pizza. Don't expect it to be ready in less than 5 minutes. They are made to order so avoid coming in if you're in a rush or super hungry. Of course it's located in a plaza so finishing parking will be difficult but there is always street parking nearby them.

    I've been coming in here for 30 years, this place has always been solid for that long. This place is sort of a cafeteria I guess, you order and get a tray and sit down to eat. The food is very tasty, they have plenty of options from pizza to sandwiches to fresh salads , I always order the chicken with a little bit of pasta and grilled vegetables. Service is friendly and fast and I will continue to come back for hopefully another 30 years .

    Just received our large office order. My pizza's tamper seal was loose and had tape on it The image of the pizza... speaks for itself....

    this girl had the worst attitude ever . She kept rolling her eyes at an older gentleman who simply asked her for napkins .

    Your employee needs to fix her attitude . Food is okay . Everybody else was nice , good ambiance , except the way she kept rolling her eyes when an older gentleman was asking her for napkins.

    Garlic Bread was gooood. The rest not so much

    Gonna start off by saying the cashiers had zero hospitality so automatically off to a bad start. The bathroom was disgusting, but other than the restaurant itself was cute. Honestly the food wasn't all that. It's the same price as going to Olive Garden, but with lower quality food. Ordered a margarita pizza and ended up with a frozen cheese pizza with some basil on it. Really depends on if you're willing to pay a pretty penny for below average food.

    Meat Lasagna (Choice Beef or Chicken or Turkey).  Small portion, but looks larger in the picture.
    Renee P.

    Prior to ordering delivery through DoorDash, I called Pasta Roma to ask about the calamari. The young lady that answered the phone was very pleasant. I ordered the calamari and beef lasagna. The calamari was too salty to finish with too much batter for the small pieces of squid. I did not like the marinara sauce. The lasagna was a little salty, but decent. I thought the portion was small for the price. The garlic bread could have used more garlic. I love calamari, but I would not order it again based on the saltiness and the marinara sauce. I'm not sure if I would order the lasagna again because I know I can get a larger portion that tastes just as good for the same price from a different restaurant. I didn't expect the salad and haven't tasted it yet, but I know I will have to remove the olives, I hate olives. I haven't decided if I will give them another try. If I do, I will update my review, good or bad.

    Spaghetti meat sauce with Ceasars salad and buttery fresh garlicbread knots!

    Love coming to Pasta Roma, which is located in University Park on Figueroa St. near USC! located inside of small business center but can always find parking. Inside its cozy loft style and being it's not the "ohh- la- la,"it has very good delicious , not starchy ,very chewable pasta! The pasta is prepared fresh every day, and the sauces are well seasoned, not sugary, that will satisfy your taste buds! The dishs all come with great tasting garlic bread knots that are buttery and soft that melt in your mouth. I always order the Ceasars salad to complement the pasta! it has fresh romaine, great tasting dressing, and croutons! So when in the area or come to crypto to watch a concert or sporting event and don't want to spend big money and feel like great tasting Italian food visit " Pasta Roma"!

    Okay, so I know I've driven by this place and went to an ice cream museum pop up back at the end of…read morethe covid fakedemic, but it really wasn't on my radar. Nice name, but when I see menus of any cuisine that go out of their way to offer vegan and gluten free versions of everything, it tends to put me off. I know that's an unfair prejudice, but I always assume it's more of a healthy food place for people who complain about regular food than a real tasty joint. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. Now that I've tried their fantastic pizza, my only sadness is that they are located in DTLA, where finding parking even to run in and pick up things to go is always difficult. So, we were here at first not for the food but because my teen son's death metal band, Institutionalized, was playing a show with the very popular super cool local metal band Diabology. But, hey, if you're there might as well grab something before you leave, right? So We got a cheese pie, which was excellent. Also tried a slice of their white pie, which was garlicky goodness. What really sold us, though, was the Sicilian pie we got. As born and bred New Yorker transplants who have been here a long time, we have never found a fantastic Sicilian. Good, sure, but never great. The pies are never thick enough as far as the breading. Here it was as close as we've ever got. And like the other pizza, the taste was excellent. And, as native New Yorkers, we know our pizza! Strongly recommended! Can't wait to get another Sicilian pie in the near future with some toppings.

    It took me over a year to come back here after they mistakenly gave me a regular pizza instead of…read morevegan. I finally went back and tried one of their vegan pastas I hadn't tried before, and there was meat in it (pancetta). I literally am feeling sick to my stomach--I'm pescatarian + non-dairy and stopped eating meat in 2013 so I'm sure you can imagine. The customer service was amazing and the cashier who helped me, Melissa, was so apologetic and sweet (obviously wasn't her fault), but this is just another warning to anyone who is vegan and considers coming here. I also came when they were about to close and already had to wait like 15min longer than they said so there's not even anything else open this late for me to find other food. Very disappointing and I will not be coming back for good this time. If I could give separate stars for customer service, I would give them 5 stars but this was unacceptable on the cook's part. Do not risk it if you are vegan.

For starters, the entire staff from host to servers were so friendly and attentive, it was a very welcoming and warm environment. Now to the main event, the pizza!

I savoured every bite, especially the garlic pizza - that was a stand out for me! I also ordered a slice of the princess cake and it was divine. Fluffy, moist, and light.

The pizza had a nice crispy crust with quality ingredients, especially the pepperoni slices and fresh basil, but overall the flavors didn't stand out as much as I expected. The pesto slice was probably my favorite of the bunch, while the pepperoni was solid but nothing particularly memorable. The service was friendly and efficient, and the staff got our order out quickly. The casual, laid-back atmosphere made it a nice spot to grab a slice, though seating is pretty limited. We also tried the cake for dessert, which was light and enjoyable, but overall the meal left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. It wasn't bad by any means, just not a place I'd go out of my way for.
