Margherita (Personal)
Mona g.

You know that often times it's the little holes in the walls that are the best! And La Bella Napoli is a hidden gem in Torrance. We had the margherita pizza and the truffle gnocchi Al tartufo. Both were amazingly delicious seating is limited but they had comfortable seating. And the waiter was very kind and polite.

Vegetariano pizza!

The pizza was super amazing!! The crust was by far the best tasting one we've ever had. We had the vegetarian pizza! We highly recommend this place for a great tasting pizza!

(4.3/5) Tried La Bella Napoli today and honestly--this place is a small gem. I ordered the bolognese pasta and a margherita pizza. The pasta noodles were clearly fresh, flat handmade, and absolutely excellent--perfect bite and texture. The sauce was super fresh and well balanced, though a little on the sweeter side and not quite as meaty as I personally prefer. Still, the noodles completely carried the dish. The margherita pizza was thin, flavorful, and the cheese was amazing--really high quality and well balanced with the sauce. My only nitpick is that it cooled down a bit fast; I'd love it served just a touch hotter next time. The spot itself is a cozy little hole-in-the-wall, which I love. Just a heads-up when driving: watch the parking so you don't end up half on the sidewalk or miss the entrance (easy to do). Service was friendly but a bit slow--both dishes took about 30 minutes even though there wasn't anyone dining in. That said, I did notice a few walk-in takeout orders, so that likely explains it. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the freshness and quality mostly justify it. Overall: super fresh, very satisfying, and worth a visit. Definitely a neighborhood gem I'd come back to.

Tiramisu Mini 3.25 Oz (No Eggs No Alcohol)
Tana Z.

The handmade pasta is really good and the ingredients taste like their from another country, enjoyed the pasta a lot. The tiramisu on the other hand was not good at all. $7 for the mini which is 2 bites, tasted like an old bland cake from a gas station. I would go back to try different pastas and the pizzas but stay away from the overpriced dessert. The inside is small but cute. Service was chill.

Margherita Pizza
Adam K.

Thank you YELP for helping me to find this taste of Napoli in Torrance! The owner Daniele was incredibly hospitable and shared his thoughts on places to go in Italy for our upcoming trip. He made us feel so at home in his restaurant along with fantastic food! We had the delicious Margherita family pizza as well as spaghetti and meatballs! Also some gelato for the road! Just a wondeful true gem that needs to be recognized!! If you're in that part of LA, it's a must try!

La Bella Napoli is a small Italian restaurant tucked away in Torrance. The owner takes pride in her restaurant and tells her story for everyone to understand and to appreciate the hard work she and her family had to put in to build what she has now. The restaurant itself is very small while the vibe is calming and nice. My party and I were greeted by Daniele Casaletta, who happens to be the owner of La Bella Napoli. She was very nice, professional, and happy to have us dining at her restaurant. I ordered the Spicy Bruschetta and an espresso for a total of $22.00, including a tip I left. The spicy bruschetta contains spicy Calabrian red pepper spread, spicy calabrese, basil, and burrata cheese from Italy; all served on a soft yet crunchy homemade ciabatta bread slice. Balsamic vinegar and olive oil is served on the side with a small portion of arugula salad. The dish itself was astounding, everything was fresh and tasted homemade. Everything was light, yet I felt satisfied without feeling groggy nor an overly full stomach feeling. The burrata cheese was the star of the show as it was soft, creamy, and rich in flavor. However, the spiciness of the dish was a bit too much, even for me and I love spicy foods. The level of spiciness did overpower the flavor of the dish at times, but I still enjoyed it. When ordering the espresso, I was asked if I wanted it when I placed my order or after my meal and of course, I chose after my meal. The espresso was cute and served with a mini spoon and a packet of sugar. I drank it in just one go and it gave me the kick I needed to keep going about my day. The expresso was rich and smooth. The rest of my party ordered the Margherita Pizza, family size. I tried a slice and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had so far. The crust was thin, light, crunchy, and had a nice homemade flavor. The sauce was homemade as well and tasted fresh. And the Mozzarella (from Italy), fresh Basil, and olive oil only made the pizza even better. We did try the Tiramisu and it was a great ending to our experience. The Tiramisu was not overly sweet, creamy, and light. Complimentary water and water cups are provided. Overall, I had a great experience and as an Italian myself; La Bella Napoli is the go-to authentic Italian restaurant if you are in the area and the flavors of Naples truly shine. I will definitely be coming back. To my knowledge, no military discounts are offered.

THE FOOD IS SOOO GOOD HERE. I've tried many pizzas and this one takes the cake. I've tried the buffalo margarita and the prosciutto pizza. Also I tried one of their appetizers, and the tomatoes were soooo good. I hate raw tomatoes but I ate every single cherry tomato photographed. I will be back again, this was my second time going!

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the authentic Neapolitan pizza, fresh, high-quality ingredients, and friendly, attentive service. The cozy, inviting ambiance is also appreciated.

It was my first time here, and I can confidently say I'll be coming back for years to come…read more From the moment we walked into the restaurant, we felt genuinely welcomed. The owners, Marco and Arlene, were incredibly kind and personable, and you could immediately tell how much pride they take in their restaurant. One of the highlights of our visit was having the opportunity to sit down and have a real conversation with Marco. We were able to hear his perspective on running a business, what he values, and what he strives to create through their restaurant. It made the experience feel much more personal and unique than a typical night out. As for the food, we had the margherita pizza, spaghetti amatriciana , and bolognese sauce with fettuccine. Everything was amazing. Each dish had its own flavor, which made trying everything even more enjoyable.. This was easily a five-star experience. It's rare to find a restaurant where the people behind it make just as strong of an impression as the food itself. We're already looking forward to coming back!

Being at this restaurant is an experience like none other and I believe everyone should try this place out!!

Note: I'm pretty sure this is a cashless business--there was no cash register, and the tablet…read moreordering system didn't offer a cash payment option. I like this place. Sometimes you crave a quick pasta meal but think your only choice is a sit-down restaurant. Pasta Stories is a fast-casual spot in the Tokyo Central food court. The process is simple: step up to the counter; order and pay on a tablet device; and grab a seat in the food court. They'll call you when your meal is ready. I tried the "Osaka," spaghetti with Wagyu beef meat sauce. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was flavorful but lighter than most restaurants--less salty, with more subtle flavors. Browsing the menu, you'll find all the meals competitively priced compared to fast-food combos. However, each bowl is made to order and leans more toward scratch cooking than the processed fare you'd get at a fast-food restaurant. One last thing: I tend to avoid ordering pasta to go because if the kitchen isn't careful, ithe pasta keeps cooking and soaking up moisture during the commute. That's not a problem here. When they know it's a takeout order, they adjust their cooking and package the pasta nicely. The bottom line is you won't end up with soggy pasta when you get home.

Pasta Stories is a food stand located inside Tokyo Central at Pacific Coast Hwy & Hawthorne (close…read moreto Rolling Hills Estates). Each pasta is inspired by a different region of Japan and this is one of the few places in Los Angeles / Orange County that serves fast casual Japanese pasta. [Parking]: Plenty of parking spots within the parking plaza. [Ordering]: Customers place an order via a kiosk and pick up their order at the counter. [Menu]: The most classic pasta is Napolitan Spaghetti (Yokohama). Yelp's top highlighted dishes are Wagyu Beef (Osaka), Seafood Pasta (Ehime), and Matcha Cream (Kyoto). *** "Kyoto" Matcha Cream (Chicken - $15.50) & "Osaka" American Wagyu Beef Meat Sauce ($15.50): I personally liked Kyoto better than Osaka as the Kyoto pasta tasted a bit creamier with the matcha cream. Osaka was not bad, but it was not my favorite flavor profile. Each portion was just right so don't expect any leftovers to bring back home. *** Honestly I can see myself revisiting here and cycling through their menu. A solid Japanese pasta spot for anyone to stop by without breaking the bank.
