CENTO Pasta Bar

The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: October 14 | Eater LA

"If you ever visit Cento Pasta Bar, you’ll notice nearly every table with a bowl of its spicy pomodoro pasta topped with fluffy truffle ricotta and a pool of shimmering basil oil. There’s a reason this is one of the most popular dishes and has remained that good since the restaurant opened in 2021: the fresh rigatoni is cooked al dente so the spicy pomodoro sauce infiltrates every nook, while the aromatic truffle ricotta provides creaminess and subtle umami. I love the gem Caesar salad and I’ve never skipped the banana pudding tiramisu for dessert, but the pasta is what I’m here for — and what will undoubtedly keep bringing me back because it’s always a knockout." - Eater Staff
