A super casual dining spot with really yummy penne à la vodka! The caesar salad was also yummy and perfect for sharing. We went for a late lunch and found parking in the lot (free). There was no line and we received our order pretty quickly. read more

Delivery: Uber eats Ordered: Lemon Cream Salmon Linguine with Shrimp Both plates were delicious. My salmon hit the spot, it was exactly what I wanted. Fish with a bit of pasta and a fresh creamy sauce. Ate it all so fast! My husband enjoyed his Linguine, he saved one shrimp for his leftover pasta for the next day, but it was a struggle not to finish it all in one sitting. This place has a large menu and would like to try other dishes that are available. read more

Rich menu with lot of options for pretty much everyone. Food tasted good. We ordered four different dishes including a sandwich and everyone was happy with their plate. I took away one star for one reason - the Linguine with Shrimp had only 6 pieces of shrimp. For $16.99+tax thats just not enough. Desert was nice too. read more

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. read more

The cashier's attention was terrible, besides she was upset because I asked her if the pasta was al dente and she didn't even know the term. The pasta is completely sewn, it's a fake Italian place. I don't recommend it. read more

Caesar Salad 10/10 Garlic knots 10/10 Fettuccine Alfredo 6/10 Beef Ravioli 8/10 Fried Mozzarella sticks 6/10 Pretty empty for a Saturday night. Friendly service and fast. It had a parking lot so that's good. Not sure I would return though, I am very picky with Italian food, this was a little bland for me. read more

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. read more

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 . read more

We ordered through Grubhub, but unfortunately, the restaurant didn't seem fully synced with the platform--we weren't able to track our order, which was a bit frustrating. We ordered a few items: The pizza was solid--great flavor and the crust was especially delicious. The pastas were better than expected--fresh ingredients and beautiful vegetables made a nice impression. We also ordered garlic bread just to be safe, since it wasn't clear if any bread was included. They ended up sending a different type of roll, so we ended up with a lot of bread--no complaints, just something to note. One thing worth mentioning: silverware wasn't included, which was a letdown since we had the order delivered to a hotel. It really should be customary to include utensils with delivery--especially when it's clear it's going to a hotel. Overall, a decent meal with some hiccups in the delivery and packaging process. read more

Every time I've ordered or picked up, the food has been spectacular. The garlic knots are fantastic. Service is so friendly and kind. Mom and pop feeling. Love!! read more

Food is way over priced. We tried the chicken Alfredo, penne pasta and penne vodka pollo and the chicken pesto panini. All were not tasty, average at best. Portions are ok. The panini was salty, chicken was tough to chew. The rolls were the only item that was not disappointing. read more

On certain days it's the best and closest thing to Olive Garden except there aren't any breadsticks only garlic knots (2 per person). The service is quick and easy to order. I only recommend checking your order before leaving. In most cases my orders are good but on others they mess up or I'm missing an item. Speak clearly over the phone if you do that as well when ordering. The desserts are big slice portions so it's shareable. Fast pace Italian dinning for whatever occasion (Date, Lunch, Dinner, Anniversary - except no reservation is needed for that one). Recommendations: Tortellini with Pesto sauce with Chicken Turkey Sub with Salad (Extra if you order the Pasta Greek Salad) Chicken Marsala Garlic Knots Cheese Ravioli with Beef Calzone with Pepperoni & Sausage Sausage Sub with Salad Caesar Salad with Chicken Spaghetti with meat sauce & sausage or meat balls (2) Farfalle with pink sauce & shrimp read more

Pasta Roma - this girl had the worst attitude ever . She kept rolling her eyes at an older gentleman who simply asked her for napkins . - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

the food is nasty here. super unfavorable and dry. BUT also i got drinks on a separate tab and the guy turns the screen from me and he selected his own tip basically tipped himself when i didn't get to select it at all. im mad that he tipped himself !! that's so shady i got a receipt and the charge on my bank are diff amounts. beware of this shady ass place. read more

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. read more

Pasta Roma - Garlic Bread was gooood. The rest not so much - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The chicken Cesar salad did taste good and the bread they gave me was consistent and fluffy inside. However, it was really expensive for just a chicken Cesar salad. I didn't even know they added 4 dollars for the chicken. The service wasn't bad but I was confused why I needed to order at one area and then pay at another, it seem a bit redundant. read more

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. read more

I grew up around the Figueroa corridor since I was born, 50 years ago. I never came to Pasta Roma. Major regret. I had a Greek salad, best I ever had. The vinaigrette was tasty. The bread rolls are made fresh every day and were little bites of buttery heaven. I also ordered the pesto Parmesan fries. Soooo good! I can't wait to come back. read more

It's near USC. Been a customer for at least ten years. Yes it's fake Italian food, cheap and fast but today I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and it was the most disgusting and disappointing one I've ever had. The meat was that filler meat with just beef flavoring. Which makes sense since it's about $16 dollars with tax. I immediately wanted to throw up. It went right into the garbage can outside in the parking lot. The dressing for the side salad was supposed to be a balsamic vinaigrette, but it was all high fructose corn syrup with a thickening ingredient or agent used to make it thicker and creamier only to resemble a vinaigrette. But it's not. Barf. Barf. It looks like there's always new owners. The owner was there today for lunch and you can just observe her and see how toxic and abusive of a boss she is to her employees. When I asked for two more pepperonis she was pouty and signaled to the worker to go get them in an irritated manner. She didn't say Yes I'll get them or any word. She was just angry and had on such a mean face. Never coming back here again. Smells different, looks dirty. You lost a long time customer. Good luck with everything. I should have just bought the cheesesteak sandwich at Subway next door. read more

For the price you'd expect a restaurant salad. $17 for a Chinese chicken salad the size of a Trader Joe's salad. I know the economy isn't the best but damn . Just stick to the pastas read more

Great find near USC Greek row! Looks kinda sus on the outside, based on the worn-out sign, and it feels a little cafeteria-esque on the inside, but the food and prices are absolutely superb. First off, the portions are ENORMOUS - could definitely be sharing size or two meals. The farfalle gustaso was a fantastic balance of flavors (mushroom, sun dried tomato, baby shrimp) with not-too-heavy of a cream sauce. The chicken parmigiana was also pretty good and included a hearty portion of grilled veggies and pasta. The bread rolls were a bit dense and flavorless on their own - I think they could've used butter on top - but held together nicely when used for soaking up extra pasta sauce. Service was friendly, so overall a pretty great experience. TL:DR: Bread could be better, but otherwise deliciously large portions. read more

Super yummy pasta We have been here twice now and have ordered: spaghetti with a meatball, pesto penne, carbonara and penne vodka pollo. All times the food has been amazing and was flavored perfectly. The only one that wasn't my favorite was the carbonara. The garlic bread is so fluffy and buttery!! A note is that this place is on the pricier side for pasta with the average plate being about $16. read more

After a year that I used to go to this restaurant, I decided/crave to get some pasta for lunch. I saw the rating that it says 3 1/2 star. I was debating if I should go there or not, so I gave him a chance and walked inside first thing hit me was the smell of the place. I was debating to stay or not because I was late to my appointment. I decided just to eat there so I got my usual pasta with salmon after having four bites asking God not to get sick. I took to full tray back and I told him this was not edible, walked out. read more

Pasta Roma is the perfect place to get a great-tasting meal without blowing a student budget. Their pesto pasta was my absolute favorite -- super flavorful, creamy without being too heavy, and always served hot and fresh. And the bruschetta? So underrated. Crisp bread, fresh tomatoes, just the right amount of garlic -- it always hit the spot. Between the quality, the portions, and the prices, it was one of those places that felt like a little win every time I went. read more

I love this pasta place near USC!! The pricing is really reasonable compared to other places. I usually order take out only and the portion is pretty decent.

I highly recommend this place if you are ever in the area. read more
