Across from the historic Bradbury Building, Maccheroni Republic's twinkling patio lights and cozy brick dining room welcome diners into an inviting Italian trattoria.

Hand-kneaded fresh pastas made daily: bi-color tortelloni stuffed with four cheeses in creamy truffle sauce, squid ink spaghetti with bay scallops, and classic rigatoni bolognese.

Friendly, casual, and bustling with neighborhood diners; affordable carafes of wine and hearty pasta portions make it feel like a Roman neighborhood staple.

Holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Maccheroni Republic anchors DTLA's Historic Core with accessible, soulful fresh pasta craftsmanship.
