Gourmet Magazine calls il Pastaio "a taste of heaven," and says "the cooks in il Pastaio's kitchen have angel's hands". Los Angeles Magazine critics choice ranked it "one of the top ten new restaurants". It's no wonder this friendly neighborhood trattoria has been a favorite meeting place, satisfying locals and visiting customers with its mouthwatering pasta since opening in 1994.
“Amazing food that for location and quality was actually a really great price. Some of our party had the linguine Lobster, and spinach ravioli. The back section of the menu has various options with shaved truffle added to the dish. Everything exceeded expectations not just met them!”
“So delicious! The pasta was yummy, the staff was friendly, and the service was great. They also have vegetarian options. Highly recommend!”
“Il Pastaio is a must for classic Italian done right. The pasta is incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked, with rich, authentic flavors that feel both comforting and elevated. The lively Beverly Hills atmosphere adds to the experience, making it just as great for people-watching as it is for the food. Always a go-to for a satisfying, memorable meal. Another patron recommended the Justin Beiber pasta and it was fantastic. We came to celebrate and we sure did. Love it here.”
“I had originally made a reservation for Valentine’s Day, but when I arrived I realized my reservation was actually for the following day (Sunday). Even so, the hostess Cindy and Jennifer were incredibly kind and accommodating. They went out of their way to find me a table, and my wait was less than 10 minutes — which was amazing, especially for such a busy night. The food was excellent, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was beautiful. I was seated outside, enjoying live jazz music, which made the whole experience feel extra special and romantic. Great food, great service, and truly outstanding hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Place is ok, but food could be a lot better for the price point. It’s Beverly Hills so I know I can’t be as picky but still the veal wasn’t as good as other places as I’ve been and was very rubbery. I did enjoy the atmosphere of the place, the other diners actually even talked to me and asked me for advice which really attached me to this place for high level networking in the future. But for the food it was just ehh for the price, and the service was just ok the guy had pauses throughout my visit but as a long islander I’ve had way better meals, also the portion size was a lot less than I’d expect for 60-70$. Mozzarella was a teensy bit salted but overall pretty good. You can skip dessert nothing special but pretty interesting selection. Overall just ok, nice place to sit outside and network as a young adult for sure but I’d go somewhere else if you want good food and service. Although their bread was alright!”
