LA | il Pastaio | The Risotto Outshines the Pasta 🍚🤯

With six people and fifteen dishes, we felt like seasoned critics by the end of the meal! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🍽️ While this spot is popular, it fell a bit short compared to favorites like Bestia or Cento Pasta Bar—several of us agreed mid-meal. Surprisingly, the bone marrow risotto stole the show: rich, meaty, and not overly heavy. 🦴💛 Pastas, however, didn’t quite hit the mark. The “Justin Bieber” pasta (with lobster sauce and unique noodle shape) lost its charm after just a few bites. 🦞😅 Pan-fried dumplings were a pleasant highlight—crispy outside, tender inside. While I might not rush back, sharing laughs and plates with friends made it a night to remember. 😄❤️ #Foodie #LifeAbroad #LAEats #ItalianFood #RisottoLove #GroupDining #HonestReview #BeverlyHillsEats #FoodMemories #WeekendBites
