" Unfortunately, my experience at Mona Pasta Bar didn't live up to the hype I had heard from friends. While the ambiance was lovely and the staff friendly, the pasta I ordered was overcooked and lacked the authentic taste I was expecting. Even the wine selection, although vast, didn’t quite capture the essence of Italian pairing. It was a good meal overall, but I wouldn't say it was memorable. I might consider giving it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mona Pasta Bar is a delightful little restaurant with a fantastic vibe. I came here with a few friends, and we decided to share several dishes, including the clam spaghetti and their signature meatballs over some luscious tortellini. I was blown away by how fresh everything tasted! The natural wines on offer complemented our meal wonderfully. We stayed for dessert and were not disappointed either. Tiramisu was on point! Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem that definitely redefines Italian dining in LA! The handmade pasta was so fresh and flavorful. The vibe of the restaurant was eclectic but cozy, making it a perfect dining spot. I’d say the portion sizes were reasonable considering the quality of food. I even snagged a dessert—try the tiramisu; it's heavenly! I will surely come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, I was a bit underwhelmed with my spaghetti alla vongole. It had good flavor, but I found it too salty for my taste. On a positive note, the service was friendly and efficient, and I particularly enjoyed the vibrant ambiance of the place. I’d like to return and try some different dishes to perhaps get a better overall impression of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic! From the ambiance to the food, everything was perfect. I had the best spaghetti alle vongole here, it was simply divine. The wine selection is ample and the staff are expert sommeliers. I will definitely be coming back for more of this culinary treasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow, where do I start? I came across Mona Pasta Bar on a whim, and what a pleasant surprise it was! The vibe feels like a blend of modern and rustic Italian dining. I ordered the cacio e pepe, which was perfectly creamy with a generous amount of cheese. The staff was also super friendly and made outstanding recommendations for drinks. If you have a chance to try their natural wines, don't pass it up! Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mona Pasta Bar is such a delightful little corner of the city! I had the veal pasta and it was juicy and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is also very inviting. It's perfect for casual dining but it still feels special. The only downside was the noise level, which made it a bit hard to converse, but the food more than made up for it. I'll definitely return for the fresh pasta. " (*Curated Review*)
