"Pasta Sisters is a build-your-own bowl situation, with locations in Mid-City and Culver City, where you choose a type of noodle—pappardelle, tagliatelle, spaghetti, penne, or gnocchi—and a sauce to go with it. Of all the direct-from-Italy items coming out of their kitchen, we always order the pesto—the best sauce here. It’s perfectly made, super simple, and, for a short time, will make you feel like you’re on that Italian vacation your coworker has tortured you with on social media all summer. " - nikko duren
