Luigi puts his heart into…read moreevery dish, making everything from scratch just like my grandmother used to--from fresh homemade pasta and rich, flavorful sauces to incredible focaccia and one of the best tiramisù I've had outside of Italy. Every pasta dish is cooked perfectly al dente, exactly as it should be, and so delicious that you'll already be planning your next visit before you've finished your meal. The quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail truly set this place apart. What makes the experience even more special is Luigi himself. He's always there, welcoming guests, making recommendations, and ensuring everyone feels at home. His passion, professionalism, and genuine hospitality are evident in every aspect of the restaurant. The outdoor seating is charming, they also offer catering for private events, and whether you're planning a romantic dinner, celebrating with friends, or simply craving real Italian food, you won't be disappointed. This hidden gem delivers a true Italian dining experience--no passport or plane ticket required. If you want to impress someone (or simply be impressed yourself), don't miss this place. Highly recommended!

It's counter service, so I placed my ordered for their Tagliatelle the Butcher and sat down on one of a handful of tables. My pasta was cooked al dente and had a good chew. The thick noodles did a nice job of soaking up the Wagyu bolognese. The chef won a Michelin star at a previous restaurant and the food quality shows. In addition to pasta, they have Sicilian-style pizzas and pastries in the case. You can also buy their housemade pasta and sauces separately. The seems like it's is a mostly focused on takeout, but it's pleasant enough to dine in. Wish I still lived in the area so I could make this one of my regular places!

And a personal breakthrough: I used to schlep all the way to Larchmont Cheese & Wine or Bay Cities before beach days for a proper sandwich. Not anymore. I have sandwich geniuses living right down the street. The bread? Exceptional. The cheeses? Dangerous. The meats? I may never recover. And then there's the lemon Italian ice. My daughter and I have been here three times in the last week, shamelessly returning like two neighborhood raccoons with excellent taste. It is the perfect antidote to a scorching Altadena afternoon. This place is an absolute gem. Go for the pasta, stay for the sandwich, leave with three things you didn't know you needed and a strong desire to become Italian.

I ordered the sweet ginger soy with pappardelle pasta and bulgogi with Parmesan cheese, with medium heat. Perfect balance of flavors. The bulgogi added just enough texture. I also got a pepperoni pizza and mushroom ravioli in a creamy alfredo sauce. The pizza is nice and crisp. The pepperoni tastes great and the mozzarella cheese has a creamy texture that only good mozzarella provides. The garlic bread has a nice balance of seasonings and crispness. The service is impeccable. They are very friendly and the food is delivered to your table as it comes out of the kitchen. The ambiance is nice and quiet and the restaurant is very clean. Like I said earlier, the friends that I brought were very impressed. They are very picky and I consider them "Italian food snobs", so when they told me they loved everything, I was happy. I can't wait to go back and try something else. Their menu has so many combinations that there is something there for most people.

Lots of take out orders and I used my Door dash/Chase reward to get $5 off their pepperoni pizza. Thin crust with lots of pepperoni but super oily . Tomato sauce isn't overpowering. 5 stars Staff- 3 people making pizza. Don't expect them to greet and say hello. When I entered the door and went to the counter, I tried to get eye contact with the staff but they didn't acknowledge and so had to wait at the register til someone finally got a chance to assist me. 3 stars Overall, not a place that peeps eat there since very little counter and tables If you're craving for thin crust pizza and like an outer slightly burnt crust on the edges, this place is worth trying

Luckily our group had about 6-8 people so we were able to try quite a bit of the food. Glapponese - Ground pork, garlic, bacon, soy sauce for pasta. Very strong umami in this. It's for when you'd like a simple pasta with meat and nothing too overpowering. Tarako - Cod roe and nori. This is another simple pasta when you'd like something with a strong salty flavor but want to mostly enjoy the texture of the pasta, which was soft and chewy btw. If you want a familiar Japanese flavor, this is the one to order Carbonara - A very familiar pasta in case you want to stay on the safe side. They still make it very delicious and creamy if you're in a simple mood for an Italian style pasta Keema Curry - This is where you start going for a more complex taste for your pasta. If you can't decide if you want an Italian or Japanese pasta, combine the tastes with pasta in curry Service I feel can be a bit more attentive. When they sat 6 of us down first, there were only 5 settings, so it seemed pretty natural to bring us a sixth set of utensils. But when we realized they missed it, we ended asked them. Not a big deal. But when our remaining two friends came, they sat them with us and brought out only 1 set of utensils, so we had to ask for it again. Just a small detail that had me a bit confused during the experience, but the food itself was great and we'd love to come back when they reopen

We came here around 1PM on a Sunday and the place was completely empty. The staff up front checked us in, sat us down, and guided us through the menu so we knew what was going on. The menu here has some chicken wings, sides, and other random things, but the unlimited pasta for $13.99 is what we were interested in checking out. Basically, they have a list of different pastas to choose from and if you want things like chicken or meatballs added, it can be for some extra money. Now, I wasn't about to spoil the $13.99 deal so I figured I was about to crush five or six plates of pasta, but come to find out, I was lying. I started off with a plate of the RIgatoni & Marinara and plate came out on literal fire. The pasta was super fresh and actually tasted really, really, really good. After crushing the first place, my confidence was up so I figured I would give the Smokey Chipotle Penne and it was even better then the first dish. The sauce had a little bit of a kick to it, but the flavour was so good I almost ordered it again.....almost. Come to find out, two plates of pasta was the most I was able to finish and I tapped out. Overall, Pasta Amore was a super fun time and definitely a place I could see returning to in the future. The vibes here were solid, the staff was very friendly, and the pasta wasn't just all you can eat, it was actually pretty good.

We were placed on the back patio, which was beautiful, covered, heated, and thoughtfully decorated, making it a very comfortable and inviting space. We ordered the Cajun Seafood Boil, and it did not disappoint. It came with a generous amount of crab, shrimp, lobster, clams, and mussels. The seasoning was bold and flavorful without being overwhelming. The corn, potatoes, and sausage were perfectly portioned, complementing the seafood instead of taking the focus away from it. The rich, buttery garlic sauce tied everything together and was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the half-shell oysters, which were the perfect medium size. They were meaty and had the rich, briny flavor I enjoy. Our server, Angel, was outstanding. Our food came out quickly, she checked on us regularly, and she was attentive to everything we needed without any delay. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience from start to finish.
