Mona Pasta Bar

Dinner dishes highlight the marriage of Italian techniques with Southern California ingredients including Pesce Crudo with citrus cured hamachi, kosho beet vinaigrette and hazelnuts, Burrata & Tomato with burrata pugliese, heirloom tomato, pine nuts, pesto and squash blossom, Casarecce with lamb sausage and rapini, Lumache - alla vodka, and a Whole Branzino with caramelized fennel.

The menu is designed for snacking over a glass of wine, sharing with friends and/or enjoying a more coursed out dining experience. Pasta, a focal point of the offerings, will all be made in-house.

The wine list is focused on fun, daring, low-intervention, natural wines to accentuate and complement the food. The primarily Italian focused list with opening selections from Sicily to Puglia will be rotating based on seasonality and availability.

I don't live in LA but I have eaten here so many times. The server (young woman, very kind) is the absolute best. Her attentiveness, knowledge, and the food is just excellent. It's one of my favorite places in DTLA

The food is fine - nothing special - and the ambiance is incredibly strange. Be warned that 50% of your party will be seated on what can best be described as a miniature lab stool (which is incredibly uncomfortable). The waitress we had seemed completely overwhelmed with only a few tables and while we explained that we had a two-hour timeline to eat before a concert, she could not keep the meal moving on time for us. Overpriced and really underwhelming. We will not be back.

We chose this restaurant because it was walking distance to the Orpheum Theater where we had tickets to a concert. We had calamari fritti and tomato with pesto sauce and burratta cheese to share as a starter and then each of us chose a pasta dish as main course. The portions are small but the food quality is good. There's a limited selection of wine and they allowed us to try a few to help make a decision. We then had olive oil cake and tiramisu for dessert. It was a about $90 per person which is expensive but about what you expect to pay these days for a meal downtown

Delightful experience, the last stop in our Red Dining Book, and certainly a memorable one. The service was impeccable, above and beyond. Don’t miss the crudo.

Incredible food. I mean absolutely delicious. Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve ever had, Vodka sauce on the pasta was delicious. We also had the baby artichokes (yum!) and the Burrata salad. I’ll gladly eat them all again. 100/10. All pasta made in hose too! My server was so knowledgeable on the wines and let me taste a few until I found the perfect one for my meal-made me feel so welcome. This place is definitely going on the short list of favorite restaurants in downtown.
