Upscale Italian restaurant with homemade pasta & patio
"This neighborhood Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills is certainly a scene, but not in the way you’d expect from a restaurant on N. Canon Drive. Generations of families gather around the same bowls of pasta they’ve been eating for decades, and large groups of friends who are all back in town for the holidays chug wine so they can actually fall asleep in their childhood beds. Being in Il Pastaio’s string-lit dining room is like being in that hometown restaurant where no matter when you look, you’ll see someone you know." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders
"Corny as it sounds, the holidays are about being with family, and even if you aren’t technically with yours at Il Pastaio, it sure feels like it. This neighborhood Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills is a scene, but not in the way you’d expect from a restaurant on Canon Drive. Generations of families share the same bowls of pasta they’ve been eating for decades, and groups of friends who are all back in town for the holidays chug wine so they can actually fall asleep in their childhood beds. Add in giant wreaths and twinkling lights strewn across the walls, and you've got a homey, holiday wonderland." - brant cox
"Il Pastaio is as close to a neighborhood standby as you’ll find in Beverly Hills, meaning you can come to this classic Italian restaurant any night of the week and find a festive dining room filled with well-dressed families who’ve all had standing reservations for decades. In other words, you and your new faux fur will thrive. The menu is massive, but you’re going to want to focus mainly on the pasta (the lobster and crab linguini is a must, as is the “Paccheri alla Justin Bieber,” if only for lolz) and as much red wine as you and your table can handle. We aren’t responsible for cabernet stains." - brant cox
"In 2021, an attempted robbery at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills escalated into a scuffle reportedly over a $500,000 watch and involved gunshots, with one woman struck in the leg by a ricocheted bullet." - Farley Elliott
