LA | Cola | Traditional Italian Handmade Pasta 🍝🇮🇹

Michelin Guide approved—but whether it suits your palate is another story. For non-carb lovers or those with Asian-leaning taste preferences, proceed with caution. 😅 That said, there’s plenty to praise here. Cola offers a playful tour of pasta shapes, each thoughtfully paired with sauces that cling, coat, or complement its form. A spicy tomato sauce clings beautifully to ridged noodles, while truffle-stuffed pasta brings rich, cheesy warmth (though a few bites are plenty). 🧀💫 As someone from Guangdong, I still gravitated toward Southern Italian seafood dishes with olive oil—clean, bright, and balanced. But Cola’s authenticity is undeniable, drawing consistent crowds even on weeknights (note: fewer Asian faces here). Unexpected delights included floral garnishes that added subtle aroma, and a corn soup that was genuinely memorable. 🌽🍲 A solid choice for pasta purists, though maybe less of a match for adventurous fusion seekers. #Foodie #LifeAbroad #LAEats #ItalianFood #HandmadePasta #MichelinGuide #HiddenGems #PastaLovers #AuthenticFlavors #HonestReview
