"At Pasta Louise, they make one shape of pasta every day. You pick a style—like cacio e pepe or lamb sugo—then choose from a list of toppings that include burrata, shrimp, Calabrian chiles, and breadcrumbs. It's a fun concept, and there are always lots of kids running around, so you won't feel undressed in your shorts and Hokas. The dining room is decked out in flowers, and it's about as casual as a neighborhood cafe, but if you need to air-dry your clothes, we suggest a table on the outdoor patio." - bryan kim
