Editorial Review for Fritto Misto – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Nestled in a distinctly unremarkable sector of Santa Monica, Fritto Misto is affordable and friendly--an innocuous cafe that's bright during the day for the cubicle set, and cozy at night for the dinner crowd. Menu specialties range from classics like chicken Marsala and lasagna to Atomic pasta, a simmering toss of chili linguini, bell peppers, Cajun-spiced chicken and chipotle cream. Diners can also create their own pasta-veggies-sauce combinations.
Hits: The menu offers a plethora of do-it-yourself combinations with sauces and pasta and the staff is always friendly.
Misses: Service can be really slow, particularly during the busy dinner hours.

I went here a couple of times for lunch. Both times were average at best. I recently had the sausage with whole wheat pasta. It was so bland. A good sauce has to be bold but here it was just there on my plate. However I have to give them credits for the portion. I also ordered the calamari which I was very satisfied with. It has to be by far one of the best I have eaten in awhile. Too bad their pasta could not be the same.
Pros: Size of dish, calamari
Cons: Bland sauce

I've ordered many things from the menu, and every dish has been flavorful and cooked perfectly. There are so many choices on the menu that everyone in your party is bound to be happy, including vegetarians and children (can create your own pasta & sauce combo). Servers don't return to your table enough, but they've always been nice. On busy nights, calling ahead for take-out works well.
