"The second location of one of LA’s best pasta spots, Pasta Sisters in Culver City might be even better than the original—mainly because it’s the one where you can drink wine on a patio. Most of the bowls are build-your-own, meaning you get to choose the type of pasta and sauce (except for the clams and garlic, which they’ll only serve with spaghetti). Our favorites are the pesto with tagliatelle and bolognese with pappardelle, but when you’ve got freshly made pasta and sauces this good, you really can’t go wrong.
