pasta rests. in downtown or hollywood area?

[mkm710]

Thanks in advance for the suggestions and recommendations. I'm looking for a pasta restaurant, preferably with a romantic atmosphere but not too pricey. Does anyone have some place in mind where they always go when they're in the mood for pasta? Your help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Second Zucca DT and Farfalla in LF.

il capriccio on Vermont and Farfalla on Hillhurst. Both in Los Feliz, which is b/w DT and Hollywood.

Both reasonable prices and "romantic" if you like the small NY restaurant feel.

I like Farfalla, on Hillhurst in Los Feliz.

cube is good and reasonably priced. it's more on the casual side, but i like the atmosphere. free corkage as well, i believe.

Pasta Primavera 7th St.;
Bella Cuccina Figueroa at Olympic
both downtown; both inexpensive; neither romantic; B.C. has a liquor license; PP doesn't.

Aroma, Sunset roughly at Silverlake; more upscale; could be considered romantic

Hardly a "pasta restaurant" as I think you mean it, much more upscale: Zucca, on Figueroa.

Osteria La Buca for gnocchi (and any of the other housemade pastas). Melrose and Wilton.

Is the newly remodeled room open now? I had heard they were seating a few people in there in Oct. but that it was not fully open.

Also, any update on the corkage? 4 of us are going on Friday and I hoped to bring one and buy one, but I don't know if La Buca waives corkage in that instance.

While I really like Colori, I'm not sure it fits the description of "romantic atmosphere". It is very good, however, and a great bargain.

cheap and romantic rarely go hand in hand IMHO

but god, colori's food is so cheap and good lol

Indeed ... except for maybe a picnic in a park.
