Prices are okay. Just don't order too much :)
I can fill up a lot on the bread & garlic/olive dip (mmm).

All their pasta and pizzas are pretty good in my opinion. 3rd street area is also a nice atmosphere to have dinner.

Not a bad place if you're not too picky and want something quick and easy around santa monica. There are some nice options for mix-n-match sauce and pasta. Tends to be busy and loud, however.

Great medium-priced hole-in-the-wall Italian place. Very crowded because it's busy and the place is small. I usually order by phone and pick it up.

Even though it's located in a strip mall next to a Souplantation, this place has great pizza and pastas. I especially like the Pizza Margherita!

Two words: Garlic Knots. I would go there just for the garlic knots, fill up on them, then take my meal to go! Also, every half hour everyone in the entire restaurant sings "When the moon hits your eye...." It is fun.

This place has good risotto and ravioli. Prices aren't too bad - about $15 a person.

Great hole in the wall with dishes around $12. Bread is always warm and the pasta is yummy. Be aware that it is tiny so noise levels can get up there.

I went here the other day. It was very good. They have some unique dishes and sides (like mushroom fries) and delicious macarons at the bakery.

This is almost a landmark in North Hollywood. It burned down a few years back, and it was renovated and reopened due to costumers' support.
