Fritto Misto

Visited this place last week on a weekday for dinner with my colleagues. It's a small restaurant with a bar. They serve complementary bread which was really warm and delicious. They have some pasta ready to order or some that you can build on your own. I tried their build your own and ordered rigatoni with basil pesto. The quantity is good enough for one person. The pasta was delicious and had a strong garlic pinch. Avoid basil pesto sauce, if you do not like the strong garlic flavor. We also tried their fluffy pillows and they were also good. The place has a nice ambience and was not that busy. The food took some time to come after we placed the order, but it was okay as we were busy chitchatting. The staff is also very friendly and courteous. Parking can be a challenge on a busy day. It was raining when we went, so it was easy to find a spot. Overall a great place and will surely visit again.

We were happy to visit a new restaurant location in Santa Monica, but we miss the old Frito Misto place. For the last 30 years their menu hasn’t changed much. Spicy Shrimp Ravioli is still there after 30 years!!! Back then price was $11 and now $24 😉. Great service? Great food! Fantastic place for family and friends ❤️🍷

Frito Misto is an interesting italian-inspired restaurant. They have good interior design that captures my eyes. Their pasta selection is masive and they taste good. Unfortunately, it was a bit bland to my taste. But, a touch of cheese will make the dish great! We just have been to other establishment which has tastier food. Nevertheless, Frito Misto is a great place. And they offer a generous portion! Lovely place in Santa Monica

Fritto Misto is the single best restaurant i have ever been to. Me and my boyfriend have been coming here at least three times a month for the last 8 months, and it hits every time. The pillows with garlic cream sauce is so fresh, the cheese is so soft and warm, and the garlic cream sauce is the perfect consistency and richness. The pasta is made super fresh and they also bring fresh warm bread to your table which is unreal with the sauce after you finish your pasta. The rigatoni is equally as fresh, and with a perfect pink sauce to compliment it it's been a frequent order of ours. The service is always quick and our waters are never empty. Fritto Misto will be your favorite restaurant of all time.

Had dinner here with a friend for my first time. Service was nice and portion size was good. I had the chicken marsala with mushrooms and it tasted a little bland, not much flavor. Mushrooms were a little firm, could have been cooked slightly low longer. Pasta was a little al dente but I still liked it. My friend had the chicken piccata with the white sauce and it was more flavorful. I would probably come back and try it again.
