"If you live in Pasadena, you know about Union. But if you don’t, it’s time you learn - this Italian spot serves pastas worth driving for, even if you live in the farthest part of Marina del Rey. There’s an excellent carbonara/cacio e pepe mashup, a lasagna verde we have nightly dreams about, and a mushroom and polenta dish that may very well be our favorite thing on the menu. They’ve also got family meals for four around $60 that we highly recommend. App delivery and takeout available." - Brett Keating
