Best pasta joint in LA! Been coming here for over 20 years. When I discovered that they had GF options, I literally did a victory dance because I didn’t have to give up on one of my favorite places. I wish they’d make their tiramisu in a GF version…that’d make this place perfect.

Impasta is great. It is vegetarian or vegan depending on what you order and most is gluten free. The place is very clean and super cute. It is not huge, it is the perfect size. It is not fancy and it does not need to be. The prices are fair and the service is super nice and pretty fast. They have great vegan pasta and they have a cauliflower pizza that is super. You will love it. I love all their pizzas, they don't have a lot, but what they have is great. As to their pastas all are very good, but we love the kelp noodles--really try it. It is great. They have a few different sauces to choose from. We like the pink sauce. Their parmesan bread is the best. Get that. All of their salads are great. Mu favorite is the arugula salad. They do have proteins you can add to any pasta, salad or pizza. We like the chicken, the salmon and the bacon is so good. You will love this little place. Have fun.

Massilia is a French restaurant nestled in Santa Monica near third street promenade, featuring a cozy interior and an intimate patio. Our group ordered the steak frites and lamb shank and both were quite delicious. Unlike most steak frites, the steak was thicker and you were able to select the temperature as well. The fries were perfectly crispy and deliciously seasoned. You have the option to get a chimichurri or bearnaise sauce, both of which are excellent options. The lamb shank is a gluten free meal and was so soft it pulled right off to the bone! In terms of cocktails, La Française was a clear winner. Anything with St. Germain is an obvious choice. Our server was very friendly, also French, and such a delight throughout the meal service. I definitely recommend dining here for modestly priced options with great ambiance. (32/50--2024)
