   Disappointing Experience – Un Charming Staff & Poor Seating Choice Today I visited il Pastaio with my 12-year-old son, and unfortunately, the experience was far from what I expected. This is a place you visit for the ambiance, but despite available seating, we were placed outside in the back. It felt like we were being profiled simply for dining as a parent and child. To make matters worse, the hostess was unfriendly and seemed to prioritize guests arbitrarily, seating some people ahead while barely acknowledging others. The food here is decent , I’ve been here before , but let’s be honest—that’s not why you come here. After waiting 20min for the server to take our order , we decided to leave and order Room Service at The Peninsula .

   Average good. Dated feel. Overrated. Wasn’t impressed.

   My server was really nice and the other staff as well. Visiting LA and a friend of mine recommended it for me. I love the vibe of the restaurant its very chic and everyone is so professional. Best pasta so far! Thank you.

    My reservation was for 3 pm, and I arrived right on time. However, they made us wait for 20 minutes to be seated, even though most of the tables were empty. Eventually, they gave us a very small table where we couldn’t even move comfortably. The food was bad, and the service was poor. The host was unwelcoming, and overall, everything was disappointing. I don’t know why I even bothered going to this restaurant, and I definitely won’t be returning. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
