Fritto Misto 620 Santa Monica Boulevard, Santa Monica, CA 90401

"Good food. Borderline of wow quality. But the dish my SO got wasn't impressive. We both did build your own pasta, but we'll try ones from the menu next time. Adequate service. I'd definitely back when I'm around, but I cannot travel more than 20 minutes for this restaurant,"

"Cute Italian restaurant. Staff was very nice and the wine was good. Ordered the calamari appetizer, which was average. I got the small Caesar salad which was a great value. I had a hard time deciding on the entree, but went with the chicken piccata. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with this dish and wish I would have went with another option. It was extremely bland and quite oily. The chicken was pale and completely flavorless. The pasta was good, so I added quite a bit of parm cheese, salt and pepper. Something from this meal caused extreme stomach upset, but nothing tasted off at the time."

"Visited this place last week on a weekday for dinner with my colleagues. It's a small restaurant with a bar. They serve complementary bread which was really warm and delicious. They have some pasta ready to order or some that you can build on your own. I tried their build your own and ordered rigatoni with basil pesto. The quantity is good enough for one person. The pasta was delicious and had a strong garlic pinch. Avoid basil pesto sauce, if you do not like the strong garlic flavor. We also tried their fluffy pillows and they were also good. The place has a nice ambience and was not that busy. The food took some time to come after we placed the order, but it was okay as we were busy chitchatting. The staff is also very friendly and courteous. Parking can be a challenge on a busy day. It was raining when we went, so it was easy to find a spot. Overall a great place and will surely visit again."

"Fritto Misto is an amazing find! My 'create your own pasta' was delicious and a generous portion. My boyfriend loves the Cajun chicken dish. The chicken is tender and not fatty or gross at all. The food came out quickly and the employees are very kind and attentive. Can't wait to come back!"
