Removing the barrier between kitchen and guest, an evening at Pasta|Bar offers an unfiltered look at the precision and intentionality behind every dish on our tasting menu.
From locally-sourced strawberries to vegetables harvested by DJ Nelson in our very own garden, our tasting menu is always an ongoing dialogue between California’s finest ingredients and the heritage of Italian pasta-making.

Summer calls for…well, you know the classics. Our take on s’mores from the mind of Margarita Kallas-Lee, in the form of our Sundae.
We start with brown sugar caramel made with sugar from Okinawa, paired with puffed brown rice, sobacha ice cream, and burnt vanilla marshmallow, toasted tableside with Binchotan.

We’re expanding our wine pairing options to include new, exclusive vintages and by-the-glass-pours, all chosen with care to pair with each course. Many of these selections are from California producers.
Let us know what you love to drink, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Our garden salad. Most components of this dish come from our garden, with some from a local urban farm, The Hungry Gardens. Grilled avocado, tomato, and corn, surrounded by fresh herbs, flowers, and lettuce, with a tempura-fried corn fritter in the middle. We sauce this dish with a ponzu and Wagyu fat emulsion.
Thank you to guest Krystina Doan who recently called this “Hands down the most memorable salad that I’ve ever had from the most generous team.”
