"Sirena sits steps away from the glimmering Pacific on a bougainvillea-shaded terrace and serves some of LA’s most memorable pastas in the Westside. Whether digging into linguine vongole, bucatini all’amatriciana, or pappardelle ragu Bolognese, order a side of pastry chef Thessa Diadem’s piping-hot focaccia for sopping plates clean. Save room for as many desserts as possible." - Matthew Kang
