Fritto Misto

I ordered the Artichoke Shrimp Gnocchi, and it was pretty good. The portion size was a bit small compared to other places where you either get super full or end up taking boxes for leftovers. But still I think it is enough for one person and felt just right if you’re not extremely hungry. The bread they serve is good, feels like homemade and goes very well with butter. The pasta had a nice flavor, and the sauce had a slightly sweet taste to it, which was interesting. The shrimp were okay, pretty standard, nothing more to say. Overall, the dish tasted good, but it didn’t feel particularly special or memorable to me. I feel that the prices are a bit high for amount of food. I would say the food was good but I didn’t really enjoy it. The restaurant was busy when we arrived. We didn’t have a reservation, so we waited about 15 minutes, which wasn’t bad at all. There are plenty of tables, and I liked that they’re not packed too close together, it feels pretty comfortable. The staff was friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the menu. Despite the crowd, the food came out pretty quickly, which was a kind of surprise. The restaurant itself looks great. It has a nice vibe and a beautiful interior.

I absolutely adored this restaurant. Me and my friends were visiting from New Jersey and this place made us feel right at home. We came for lunch and all of the food was fantastic. The real highlight of this place was the bartender who was also our server and he was truly so kind and attentive. We all loved our food and this will definitely be a stop when we come back!

My go to Italian spot in west LA. I’m a regular patron and i love taking friends and family who visit. Everyone has always thoroughly enjoyed their food and experience at this restaurant. The waiters are very knowledgeable about the dishes. My go to are the Cajun chicken pasta dish and the short rib ravioli. They have an extensive menu and a vegetarian and health conscious section so my vegan and vegetarian friends have always felt very included with more options than the average non vegan restaurant. Price point is very fair and portions are bigger.

Service was very good and the food was excellent! Best food my husband and I had all weekend on our mini vacation. We live out of town but we will be back. My husband got the Spicy shrimp ravioli and I built my own - cilantro chili pesto gnocchi with steak tips. Both were delicious!

Stopped here while visiting the Santa Monica area. The pasta was extremely fresh and the sauce 🤤not too thick and not too runny either! Would def recommend trying Fritto Misto if you're looking for some good Italian/pasta

Went to this restaurant as part of a work dinner with a large group. I was following a plant-based diet at the time and found myself with an underwhelming lack of options. I had to build my own pasta, which is fine, but a bit odd to try and yell over a large party of co-workers every vegetable I wanted in my dish to the waiter. I’d recommend trying a different format like giving customers a card they can fill out and hand to the waiter. Might be quicker, avoid mishearing ingredients, and a lot less awkward. I ended up getting the arrabiatta sauce (which was one of my only options) and basically built my own puttanesca. The meal was very enjoyable and the pasta my co-workers ordered looked and smelled amazing! However, with this being LA and all, I was a little surprised I didn’t have more options. Note: portion sizes here are quite large. I could not finish my meal.

Such a lovely spot for italian food! The service was wonderful, very attentive and friendly. Our food was delicious, I got the cheese & spinach tortellacci and absolutely recommend. They even gave us a tiramisu dessert on the house because we were first time customers. I 100% recommend you to give this restaurant a shot!

Went with my family and we LOVED this place. Bst spot in LA so far. Service was great and food was amazing. They bring fresh bread to the table. Don't say no to it! Use it to soak up the sauce! Robert, the owner, even came by to speak to us personally. AMAZING wine list and wine prices were outrageously fair. Definately need to eat here!

Second time here and it's as good as we remember! Our server Matthew was friendly, attentive and was taking care of every table in the restaurant. He kept checking up on everyone, making sure everyone was happy and helped! Love everything we've tried here so far, food was fresh and full of delicious flavor. They even steamed veggies for our baby to enjoy! We will definitely be back soon!

TLDR: Tasty Italian food at reasonable prices. You get what you pay for, and the portions here are GENEROUS (compared to other LA spots for this price point). Looking forward to the next visit already! - - - - - - Fritto Misto is a restaurant that's really been on the block for a bit, and I'm ecstatic that a friend shared it with me. To satisfy my Italian cravings, we really came 15 minutes before opening, for some reason expecting a a line on a Sunday morning. There was - thankfully - not. Parking was fairly available on the street at ~ $2 / hr? Being one of the first customers, we were able to sit anywhere, and we chose a section in the covered, outdoor patio. The glass windows separating the street from us made for a comfy lunch spot. Our server started us with waters before giving us bread and olive oil / balsamic vinagrette... ooh! Now, I'm generally not a big fan of the bread, but for this... yes give us another basket! (Thankfully, we got another, and yes it was complimentary.) Outside of bread, we also had their fried pillows, featuring fried ricotta. They tasted good, but this is definitely going to be a one-timer for me. For our orders, we had the Atomic Chicken and Garlic Shrimp. Mine was the Garlic Shrimp, and upon receiving it, I know that my server was proud of this dish. No kidding was he when he said that there were 29 (or some other number) of shrimp! (Yes, I lost count, and it was that good.) The black and white pasta was tasty, and nothing beats a good garlic cream sauce. Another plus? It is on the pricier side, but those portions are generous! I came in expecting to save the rest for another meal, but it was too tempting not to finish. My friend's meal? Thankfully, he didn't succumb to the competition and was able to pack the rest home along with his bread for another meal. Paying was fairly easy, and the entire dining experience was smooth. Halfway through, we also had another server (shift change?) but table to table, our servers were efficient and friendly.

I came here once before for my friend's birthday and had been wanting to come back. I'm glad I did last night! Their pasta is fresh and with al dente texture that holds up well in the sauces. I really enjoy their calamari frito and their pasta dishes are consistently great too. This time, I ordered the salmon with squid ink pasta in a garlic, fresh tomato, and basil sauce. The flavors were fantastic, but the salmon itself was extremely salty -- definitely more than double what I'd expect. It felt like a seasoning mistake, because everything else on the plate was well-balanced. They are more of American Italian than authentic Italian. (i.e. cream in Carbonara) That said, if they can be more consistent with the salt levels, and since this place has low corkage fee -- it makes for good casual supper with friends with a favorite bottle of wine. It can easily be a five-star spot for me. They have a great friendly service as well.

Are first time here our Son pick this Resturant close to the book signing Atmosphere was so great large window to see out and nice patio to inside cute and quaint inside with a large bar too We ordered water and few glasses of wine a Cab, a Petite Syrah for me Bread and butter came out very soft and warm too We made it easy for our server he was working the bar too I vegetarian Lasagna it was big slab, and the mushroom raviolis were so good too What I tried Everyone was happy too Service was great here and very friendly and helpful too Sausage Lasagna was really delicious too We only enjoy the company and good food Now we know for next time we be back to try more food maybe the pizza

Create your own pasta for the win!! My friends and I walked to this location but it looked to be street parking. We did not have a reservation but only waited a few mins to be seated. The place was packed so we had our hopes high for good eats. We all wanted pasta and did the create your own. We got a little creative :) everyone had a different meal. One of my friends got vegan pasta and that was cool that they offered it! I did the lemon pepper pasta with a garlic butter sauce and added chicken. It was good! The lemon pepper was not as present/distinguished as the other flavors so that would have been nice to have it stand out more. Overall I think everyone enjoyed their meal and it we would go back for another bite!

Back in our UCLA days, my friends and I used to love eating here (the old location). The vibes were great, the food was filling, and it could fit all of us -- we used to roll deep. Fast forward 10 years later, and we needed a spot for our reunion dinner. Jonas the manager was super accommodating and kind -- we were able to make a reservation for 20 of us. The food was as good as I remembered, our server was incredible (and also very patient with us -- we were a little slow to order because everyone was busy catching up). We basically ordered everything - so yummy, and the perfect antidote for all of our discussions about our 10-year-post-grad anxieties. The biggest negative about this place is that I live 400 miles away and it's a bit of a trek to get back!

Heard such great things about Fritto Misto from my girlfriends & I got to try it out since I was in the area. Immediately walking into this establishment, it gives a homey vibe. We came in on a Sunday evening at around 4PM and got seated immediately. We got lucky with parking since we found a spot right outside the establishment on the street. However, if you're unlucky it can be a bit challenging to find parking since this is on one of the busy streets in Santa Monica. My friends and I ordered one appetizer and a main meal. What was ordered: - Jumbo Ravioli - Calamari Everything was delicious and flavorful! Fritto Misto is popular for their jumbo ravioli and for good reason. The pasta is packed with flavor and it pair so nicely with the sundried tomatoes + caramelized onions. As delicious as the pasta was, I wish it was less greasy. I felt like the greasiness of the pasta kinda killed it for me -- but still really yummy! Other than that, super yummy. I will definitely be coming back but I will request for them to make my pasta less greasy :-)

Upon moving to west LA, I'd heard that this was one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, and my first dining experience here did not disprove that idea. The server was nice and provided menu recommendations, including daily specials. Our group tried three different dishes and enjoyed all of them -- the ravioli, lemon fettuccini, and Italian sausage are all fantastic, and the sauces are all very flavorful. Fritos Misto also serves warm bread to your table before the meal, which is always a win in my book. The five stars here are well-deserved, but I'm hoping word doesn't get out too quickly, as I love the food and want to come back without having to wait in an hour-long line.

Always a lovely place to get fantastic fresh pasta!! Wait staff is friendly and visits often, and we love getting warm bread at the beginning of our meal! I love seeing the art and the large museum each time I go, too. This time I got the Sage Cream Chicken and it was absolutely delicious. The carrots and zucchini on top were fresh and paired well with the chicken and tomato fettuccine. Previously I did the build your own, but you definitely can trust Fritto Misto to know what they're doing. Grazie mille

We celebrated my daughter UCLA graduation and the food did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed the tasty authentic food. We were a party of 16 including a baby and toddler is the service was so accommodating. The service was so attentive and friendly that my daughter also received cake and special treat. The restaurant was so comfortable and we felt we were in the perfect setting with great windows to see the setting sun.

Comfortable neighborhood bar and cafe. Place seemed popular Our sever was friendly. I had the lobster ravioli. The sauce was delicious. I would return.

Had the garlic shrimp, caprese, and mini tiramisu, all of which tasted really good. The noodles in the garlic shrimp are really al dente and the tiramisu was not too sweet. I prefer a sweeter balsamic vinegar in the caprese salad, but the tomatoes were plenty sweet. These three dishes were enough for two. The bar wasn't too loud and the bartender was very nice. I recommend visiting this restaurant if you're interested in Italian food! Next time I will try the cajun chicken.

From The Bay Area, here for a conference. We came here for dinner, and it was delicious! We were all craving pasta and I think this satisfied our craving! Such a great menu, so many options to choose from! The service was great, super helpful and attentive. (Even gave us a treat because it was our first time!) the plates are huge, definitely shareable. The ambiance is super nice, outdoor (but in a sunroom type way)/indoor seating. Lighting is intimate, but inviting for groups!

We were in the area for a skate day and landed at this gem. It says cafe on the outside and seems like it may be small, once you get inside it's bigger than it appears and has a very warm atmosphere and family vibe. We were seated promptly and the server was super attentive and knowledgeable. The owner(son) had a nice chat with us. My boys loved everything that was ordered. We loved it so much we are on our way back just 6 days later. This is an hour and a half drive for us, so that should tell you everything.

Service was pretty good and the ambiance is very loud. Overall,, this was a good experience. You get what you pay for! Big heaping plates of pasta for a decent price. You just have to make sure you make the right choice. Sun-dried tomato fettuccine pasta: 8/10 Super flavorful pasta and very creamy sauce. I liked how strong the flavors were and how they all tasted together. The pasta was a bit clumpy and the pancetta a bit too fatty. Meat lovers spaghetti with steak tips and bolognese sauce: 5/10 Despite all the great things inside the pasta, this one was extremely bland. The steak was tough and it just didn't have that great of flavor.

Fritto Misto is an amazing family-owned restaurant that serves one of the most authentic and comforting Italian dishes. Our table ordered the calamari to share, and it was crispy and perfect to taste. The paired sauce was creamy and light, balancing the fried calamari. We ordered the famous short rib ravioli and creamy pesto linguini. The ravioli was so decadent and bold in flavor; this was one of our favorites. The linguini was a fresh and savory combination that was so silky. I loved how decadent each plate was!

This is my first time visiting this great restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised and we really enjoyed our meal at Fritto Misto! Our waiter was super friendly! We both enjoyed the New Orleans with pasta, shrimp, and chicken. I got mine with the regular white sauce that comes with it and my friend got it with the red sauce and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. In addition, the Caesar salad was excellent and the lettuce was super fresh and crispy. We also ordered a little side order of, anchovies for the salad. The bottom line is I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back. Excellent meal!!

It's nice to give a place a yelp redemption. When I first moved to Los Angeles , i tried their atomic chicken pasta. Recognizing now that I dislike any pasta dish with chicken -- with the exception of chicken Parmesan, I was open to the idea of giving this place another shake. I ordered the short rib ravioli. Portion was extremely generous, and the dish consisted of a perfect blend of meaty savory almost peppercorn sauce, with ravioli sailing in the sea of sauce . I'm not giving a perfect score because our waiter was rude and had a low-hospitality IQ. He asked us if we preferred outside or inside seating. We answered inside. As we followed him to our seat we realized he was trying foist the outside patio on us directly ignoring our wishes. It's bad etiquette for a waiter. We also asked for oil for our freshly warm complimentary bread. He nodded, but the oil and Parmesan cheese never came. Couldn't help but notice that the waiter hooked-up the neighboring tables with The oil fixings, but not us. What gives ?

Things Fritto Misto does well at: 1. The food, it's amazing quality and all their sauces taste homemade. 2. Portion sizes, order with the knowledge that it will likely be two meals worth of food. I always end up taking home a to-go box. 3. Allergies, they know their menu well and do a great job of remembering and helping you to order. They also have lots of customizable options including dairy free and gluten free. Things that could be improved: 1. Parking, this is out of their control but they don't have a lot and street parking in Santa Monica is rough. I'd recommend eating earlier (around 5) to secure a spot. 2. More waiters! All of their staff is kind and always on the go but service is still a bit a slow because of the sheer volume of business. Definitely will come again and would recommend! The dining room is set up to maximize space but doesn't feel crowded. They also have an outdoor patio which they heat in the colder months.

Solid little pasta spot. GF options. PARKING it's Santa Monica. Find a metered space on the street. No lot. SEATING Casual dining spot. Tables for small and large groups. This cool ~63°F evening, was still pleasant to sit in the "patio" area. It's a glass exterior wall, with better light (not much of an outside view). The chairs are "okay" for comfort. One side of the table is a booth bench. SERVICE Nice. Uneven. We were a little early (5pm Sunday) and there were plenty of tables available, but I think the kitchen was in the weeds. Our server only showed up for our order. We flagged down others for drinks and check. Everyone was nice. Just a little overwhelmed. Our table neighbors has been here before, and remarked the experience for them was different (better) the previous time they visited. They had to wait a while for their check. FOOD Gluten Free pasta! Really good. My wife doesn't have a severe allergy. The server did check to find out her tolerance. PASTA PUTTANESCA (GF) Really nicely cooked pasta (I can't remember if it was corn or rice pasta) SUPER SUPER GARLICS. I was jealous. MUSHROOM RAVIOLI Meh. Few, Thin ravioli with barely any mushroom or mushroom flavor. Sauce is flat and kinda bland. My fault tho - asked for server's opinion. They were unfamiliar with "vegetarian" section of the menu. BREAD (wheat flour) Nice. Fresh baked. (I waited for a few minutes because it was "in the oven") Drinks are good. Great prices for a chill night out. Definitely will be back.

What the heck?! Came in because of all the great reviews. Left feeling really confused and disappointed. The food is pretty mediocre, at best. This is some of the worst Italian food we've had. Let's start off with the Jumbo Ravioli. The sauce was meh. The ravioli were flavorless. Sun-dried tomatoes had no flavor. The onions were way too big. Overall it was a miss. 2/10 I ordered the build your own pasta. I asked for spinach and cheese Torteloni with Alfredo sauce and shrimp. The Alfredo sauce was terrible. It was thin and watery. Much created a soupy mess. The sauce didn't coat the pasta. It also didn't taste creamy or buttery. It was just gross. The Torteloni pasta was good itself. It's just the sauce that threw the entire dish off. The shrimps were cooked well. 4/10 Pillows were just weird. They were very crunchy, almost hard to chew. Not enjoyable to eat at all. The ricotta inside was good. But the deep fried pasta pillows were a miss. We couldn't eat them. 1/10 Service was good. Waiter was nice. Ambiance was laid back. That is why they got any stars. Food was not great.

This place feels like a family owned Italian pasta shop. The food is good and authentic. Ok to bring kids and family members. The server was super nice and accommodating. He really took the time to explain all the dishes. The free sour dough bread can use some work but it is free. This restaurant is located at the corner of an intersection and didn't get that busy when we were there around 7PM. I did not make a reservation for a party of 4 and got seated instantly. . Had no issues finding street metered parking. I recommend cajun seared chicken pasta!

One of the best restaurants I've ever attended. Went there back to back nights. The chefs know how to cook pasta PERFECTLY. Really enjoyed Carlos as a server. Wanted to come back a third time but sadly got called away. Highly recommend!

Great pasta, warm, fresh, and delicious. Pink sauce is unique but I enjoyed it! Make your own pasta is a safe and easy go to. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu and the bar did a great job as well

My favorite dining spot in Santa Monica! I came here with family 5 years ago and loved everything about it. I've since come every time I'm in the area (once every 1-2 years) and it's still the same!

I would give 6 stars if I could! I can't say enough about how amazing my experience at Fritto Misto was. The service was exceptional as everyone we encountered was super friendly, attentive, and helpful. The ambiance of the restaurant was fun and it was clear everyone was having a good time. The food was amazing, everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful. We started with the garden salad which came with a spectacular honey mustard dressing. Then I had the Cajun chicken pasta which rocked my socks. It comes with linguine but I asked for rigatoni and they made the change with no hesitation. Ended the night with their tiramisu which we were told has won multiple awards and I can see exactly why! It was very tasty and a perfect way to finish off our lovely meal at Fritto Misto. We had the privilege of chatting with the owner, Rob, who was assisting us and other customers all over the restaurant. As out of town visitors, we really enjoyed conversing with him and he gave us tons of recommendations on places to check out for the rest of our trip. He is a gem of a person and truly made our restaurant experience a memorable one. Thank you Fritto Misto for such a lovely night. This family owned business is outstanding. I will without a doubt always return to this restaurant every time I return to Santa Monica!

Has just been there with my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday. Great place for pasta or anything really. I enjoyed Jumbo Spaghetti plate- it had a lot of different raviolis, with various insides- great option, thank you to our waiter for the advice. Drinks were good too! Also got to try lemon pie and chocolate cake- loved all of them, couldn't even choose what was my fave one. Great experience!

Fritto Misto was recommended by a friend and it looked good online, but I was disappointed in the overall experience. Their complimentary bread was dry and hard. Atomic pasta was burnt and very salty. Service is not good

Still thinking about the food here days after. I'm really picky about Italian food and this place has earned itself #1 spot. + Food: Pillows are 10/10: so crunchy, and the fillings are creamy and balances so well with the chipotle sauce. I got the chicken pesto cilantro pasta and this will be my all-time favorite past 100/10. The cilantro pesto was flavorful and very fresh, not too creamy, and the ravioli was delicious with thick fillings. My friend really enjoyed the atomic pasta. It was creamier than the cilantro pesto but still delicious with the variety of ingredients. Portions are pretty big and it's worth the price. + Ambience: it's a big restaurant with simple and nice decors. Good for casual dates and gatherings. The service was great. Waiters are very attentive and friendly. We went at 8 PM on a Saturday and there was no wait. Would I make the 1 hour drive just to eat this again? I honestly might.

Very busy and now I know why. Greeted by the owners son who takes pride in the family owned restaurant. The atmosphere was bright and electric with people having a great time dining out. Clean! I had stuffed shells in a cilantro sauce. Great job! Plenty of bread to go around, good drinks. Thankful for a positive night I'm Santa Monica. Will return.

The garlic shrimp in the first picture is a must-order. There are so many shrimps, about 20 in total. I always lick the plate with my bread. It is their signature dish that never goes wrong. The third picture is the fritto misto, which is the same as the restaurant name. It is large, crispy and not greasy. The sausage lasagna is a bit sour, which is very good for the greasy sausage and sauce. The chicken marsala is not amazing and is not recommended. I think the sauce is not very palatable. The mascarpone cheese in the tiramisu is a bit too thick, but it is also very delicious. It is suitable for gatherings with good friends. Because there are many tables, it is a bit noisy. If you are on a date, you may not be able to hear clearly.

We went in November 2023 for an amazing sharing experience with friends and got to try all dishes The service was good but I can't really remember hence good. Otherwise I would remember if something wrong happened Food Bag black linguini had nice sauce. The pasta here all had amazing buttery sauce. 5/5 Jumbo ravioli also has nice buttery, plate-licking sauce 5/5 Pasta Pancetta was okay because I didn't recognize the flavor too well. 4/5 Pillow potatos were not good. They were chewy for a supposedly-crispy food and filled with oil. 1/5 Overall I would only come back if someone else wants to try. I would not pick it myself

***** five stars Service -couldn't have asked for more Food- chef knows what they are doing Ambiance- great bar, restaurant is open also has a closed in patio with heaters great for private parties. All of the staff we encountered were wonderful, friendly attentive. I wish I took pictures of the food we ordered it was delectable. One of dishes we ordered was carbonara with linguine. The other dish was Caesar salad with steak tips (missing in photo) the steak was done to perfection, seasoning was delicious. The only very minor complaint is serving hard rock butter for the delicious bread. Of course it didn't stop us from eating it. We will be back (Photos are copies from other reviews)

Fritto Misto is a solid Italian restaurant to go to if you are in the LA area. They are well known for their delicious calamari dish which has some of the most tender calamari I have ever had. I highly recommend trying their bolognese sauce with any of their delicious home made pastas as it tastes extremely fresh and delicious. I personally enjoy their marinara sauce over their cream sauces as the cream sauce dish for me is a little too one dimensional and lacks the flavor depth I was looking for. The seating was extremely spacious and the service was very attentive and caring! I would definitely come back here for any red sauce options!

The pasta here is not for the faint of heart! Short rib ravioli with caramelized onions and doused in chipotle chili cream sauce was RICH. Spicy sauce or food (medium to mod level) doesn't phase me so this just had a nice kick. Also was convinced to indulge in a homemade lemon bar. No doubt I was in a food coma after this meal. May I add that the red haired server (Matt?!) is amazing and energetic!! Give that man a fat raise.

Parking: You can find free street parking along 7th St Experience: I made a reservation for 6 people for a Sunday lunch, but the restaurant was pretty empty so don't worry about that. There was free bread and our waiter (Matthew I believe) was super friendly. I got the pillows with pink sauce, which was definitely a smaller amount of pasta than other pastas they offer. They offer a vegan gluten free pasta if you need that. Our waiter brought out free dessert of a lemon bar and chocolate cake, which were both delicious. Overall, great service and great for groups!

So we came here for Mother's Day around 6pm. I believe they don't do reservations unless you have 6 or more in your party. There were tons of people waiting outside. But total wait time was 40 minutes for a party of 3. As you're seated, they have menu's that you scan the QR code on your phone or you can have a standard menu. We were seated "outdoor" but it's covered and heated. So it was really nice. They start you off with complimentary bread and butter! Yum! I love me some free stuff! Anyway, we ordered a Cesar salad to start which was good but nothing special. The lettuce wasn't crispy at all. I wouldn't get it again. I ordered the chicken Marsala which is a huge portion with great flavor. Chicken was tender and juicy. My husband loved his order as well. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good pasta in Santa Monica. Meter street parking available nearby.

Great little neighborhood Italian restaurant. The Fritto Misto was fantastic and loved the accompanying garlic aoli. I like some other reviewers, the bread we were served was hot and fresh. The lobster ravioli was stuffed full. I just wish my pasta was cooked al dente and the Marsala needed a bit more pizazz, but that is a personal preference. It

Great service, ambiance, and most importantly, great food! You just can't go wrong here. Super friendly staffs and food is amazing. We came on a busy night and had to wait awhile, but worth the wait!!!

BEST RAVIOLI I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE! I've been to Fritto Misto a few times, typically with family for celebrating birthdays or milestones. This place is GREAT! It's located in the heart of Santa Monica within walking distance to the pier and beach. The service is immaculate, and they always have a lovely treat for the birthday boy/girl. The ambiance is equally intimate and casual, great for both dates and group gatherings. I always get the lobster ravioli. The sauce is PERFECTION and it's topped with the most delectable shrimp. I love lobster ravioli, and it's the best I've ever had.

I would give this no stars except no one reads the reviews lower than two stars and you should be warned. This place should close. It is not clean. The smells of Santa Monica St. people are in the restaurant. That there were few customers should be a clue as the place was mostly empty. The hostess sits at a desk doing work with her computer. There is unused furniture, stacked all around. The bathroom doors are wide open, exposing interiors. My companion didn't touch a bite. When we asked for separate checks, the service person she said she would have to talk to the manager. I only regret that we didn't get up and leave.

Great food and wonderful service. Perfect for an easy, relaxing evening. Would definitely go back the next time I'm in town.

I tried the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious. The ambiance felt like home, and waiters were so friendly. I highly recommend going there!

Hidden gem spot in Santa Monica for pasta. The chicken marsala is mediocre but the black and white pasta is delicious. Very unique and my personal favorite.

FRITTO MISTO YOU ARE LOVED!! Number one this place's pasta is AMAZING! You cannot go wrong with anything. My go to is the jumbo pasta and I never get tired of it. My favorite appetizer are the little pillows with that AMAZING sauce. I can't get enough. On top of that the staff is always so friendly and helpful! I usually do takeout and I'm always greeted by all of the staff and it's so refreshing to see such a hospitable establishment. The restaurant itself is very clean cut and has a nice atmosphere to be in.

Goodness this was delicious. If you want a lively, relaxed ambience, rustic home cooked meals, and great service - Fritto Misto is the spot! We were in the area and very hungry, so looked on Yelp for some pasta. The Italian sausage Linguine (I subbed pink sauce) was out of this world. He got Cajun Chicken pasta. Side Caesar Salad. All of them 10/10 and enough for two people. Can't wait to come back.

Great service and food! The gnocchi is what you need to order! Also I heard from the staff that Robert Downey Jr came every month for years at their other location.

We've been going here for over 20 years at various locations in Hermosa Beach and Santa Monica and are never disappointed... Great food, great ambience and great service!!

Fritto Misto has a cozy vibe with pasta that hits all the right notes. With a great location and wonderful food Fritto Misto is 100% worth a visit.. If you're in the mood for solid Italian food that feels homemade, Fritto Misto is the place. We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, and the vibe was just right--quiet but not dead, with classic tunes playing in the background and a chill atmosphere that made it easy to settle in. The pasta here? Top-notch. I went with the meat sauce, and wow--it's probably one of the best marinara sauces I've had in a while. Creamy, rich, and just the right amount of cheesy flavor toward the end. My girlfriend got the pink sauce, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Portions were perfect--not too much, not too little, and the prices are more than generous. The place itself is comfortable and welcoming, with a nice balance of seating options. Plus, they have a decent alcohol selection if you're looking to pair your meal with a drink. Service was on point too--nothing over-the-top, they checked in when we needed and didn't hover.
