Fritto Misto - Santa Monica

The host was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. Everything sounded very appetizing. Ended getting the shrimp pasta which was incredible. You can taste the high quality nature of their pasta. Excellent list of beers to choose from, some being local brews. The ambiance was nice and the pricing very fair. Glad i stopped by and will definitely come back to try the lobster ravioli next!

Thanks to this nice and cozy Italian restaurant with great food, we had a wonderful date night! We ordered jumbo ravioli and create-your-own-pasta selecting black and white pasta with garlic sauce and calamari. The staff kindly recommended this combination, and it was a huge success! They each came out with a large portion. Both of them had a very strong and rich flavored sauce mingled with various spices. I loved how soft and fresh they cooked calamari. The ravioli was full of delicious stuff in it. When we arrived at aroud 6pm, there was no waiting, but after 20-30 mins the restaurant got busy quickly. They have three sections where I can sit: indoor, indoor patio, and outdoor. The dining area is spatious. Heaters and lights made its cozy and warm ambience. I strongly recommend this restaurant:

First, we were served VERY fresh bread. It was so soft!!!!!! Then the calamari arrived. It was not heavily breaded so you can still taste the calamari and the dip it comes with was refreshing. The Garlic shrimp was very nice and creamy, you can really taste the flavor of both the garlic and the shrimp, 2 flavors which tends to easily overpower the other. As for the atomic pasta it was comfortably spiced, again focused on the flavor with a decent kick from the spice! Definitely would come here again.

Great Italian food, decent portions and very friendly staff. We even got our Tiramisu for free! Loved it!

What a fantastic discovery! The food here was absolutely delicious! We started with some incredibly fresh bread that was so soft you could hardly believe it. Next, we tried the calamari, which wasn't heavily breaded, allowing the flavor of the calamari to shine through, complemented by a refreshing dip. The garlic shrimp was delightful and creamy, with the robust flavors of both the garlic and shrimp balancing perfectly without one overpowering the other. The atomic pasta had just the right amount of spice, focusing on flavor while still providing a satisfying kick! I would definitely return. Plus, I’m thinking of bringing my mom because we recently learned she has allergies to eggs and wheat, making it tough for her to find tasty food. The exciting part? Fritto Misto allows you to customize your pasta and offers egg and wheat-free options! How wonderful is that?
