Mamma Loredana's 16-year-old Melrose kitchen turns out handmade Venetian pasta daily using family recipes from Italy's Veneto region — the pappardelle and carbonara are the reliable draws. It pulls double duty as a date-night spot and a family table, though peak weekend nights run loud enough that couples may prefer weekday visits or earlier reservations.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pappardelle al Brasato, Bigolotto Nero, Crostino

Birthday & Celebration Central
A country Italian tavern on Melrose that builds its reputation on house-made pasta — the bucatini carbonara and short rib ravioli draw regulars from well beyond the Larchmont neighborhood. The room runs loud and close-quartered once it fills up, so come ready for energy over intimacy, and lean into the Southern California produce-driven plates that justify the crowd.
Must-Try Dishes:
Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Short Rib Ravioli, Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
What Makes it Special: A country Italian tavern on Melrose that makes all pasta in-house using Southern California produce, drawing crowds from across LA for plates like the bucatini carbonara.
