About

Eating pasta alone at home tends to be a reliable plan B. You’re exhausted from work, there’s a half-full box of penne in your pantry, and you have enough olive oil to give it a decent drizzle. Eating pasta at a restaurant in LA, however, tends to be the opposite. Sure, we have some solid neighborhood standbys, but the vast majority of our best Italian restaurants require long-standing reservations and a certain level of comfort with paying $29 for a bowl of pasta.
But every once in a while, we find a place that splits the difference between these two scenarios – a restaurant that serves beef cheek scaprinocc with a 12-year balsamico in a setup that feels like you’re still at home. Jame Enoteca is that kind of restaurant.
If it wasn’t for the clear signage, you might mistake this place in a downtown El Segundo strip mall for a fast-casual soup chain. The tiny space is bright and welcoming, but the white subway-tiled walls and giant, maybe-stock images of people eating pasta make it feel like an order-at-the-counter lunch spot that also has locations in Burbank and Simi Valley. Let us be clear though – this is a huge reason why we like it here.
