"Ever since shelter-in-place went into effect, we’ve been taking up a ton of new hobbies, such as lounging the couch, lounging on our bed, and buying way too many bags of heirloom beans. And if you, like us, have accidentally spent most of your discretionary income on French-style green lentils, but still want to eat incredible handmade pastas, place an order at Colapasta. This Santa Monica spot is an affordable Italian palazzo, with dishes like gnocchi di ricotta, squid ink bavette, and agnolotti in truffle butter that range from $12-16. Available for takeout, call (310) 310-8336 to order, or find them on delivery apps." - kat hong
