I'm so glad I listened because it was exactly what I was craving. The pasta was perfectly al dente, spicy, savory, and incredibly filling without feeling too heavy. We also ordered a focaccia bread and prosciutto plate, and it was a 10/10. Honestly, one of the BEST we've had. Arlene gave us vanilla bean gelato at the end of our meal and it was so so good! Great food, great service, and such a wonderful experience. We'll definitely be coming back!

The parking was a bit of…read morea nightmare, so if you manage to find it, this place is a must-try so you don't the opportunity. 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

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.

The portion was generous, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and every bite was full of flavor. You can tell that a lot of care goes into the food preparation.

He made me feel valued as a customer and added a personal touch that is becoming increasingly rare these days. If you're visiting the Original Farmers Market, Farmer's Corner is a must-visit.

My wife and I drove out to Fairfax to eat a specific restaurant, but when we saw "all you can eat…read morepasta" on a sign in this places window, Pasta Amore was the new destination! 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.

The restaurant did not look too busy from the outside which is why my boyfriend and I walked in- we were hungry. Shortly after we walk in a group of Caucasian women walk in. Mind you we've been waiting for about 5 minutes to be seated and the waiter who I later come to find out is named Fransico asks "Who got here first?", I responded "we did" and he hits me back with an "Are you sure (in Spanish)- little does he know my primary language is English (thankfully I speak Spanish). He sits us at a table and asks us what we'd like to eat with some sort of attire all while talking to us in Spanish ... I ignore it and try to enjoy my time at the place. That is until I see that all three ladies that came in after us get their food first. Which I wouldn't particularly mind, but we still waited about 30mins after one of them had already finished a plate and our food had not been served. I'm starving at this point. I decide to go to the front and request to speak to the manager, which according to Fransico was not there at the moment. I told him what I found wrong about his service and he blamed us not getting our food first on the cook. Not sure if he was telling the truth, but his treatment towards me and my boyfriend made me believe he was not being truthful. His attitude changed once I brought this up and the food was done shortly after, but I could no longer eat with this taste in my mouth. How would he feel if him and his significant other were out last in line when it is first come, first serve?

But wings aside, I think I'd be back though just to try their other pasta dishes.

Loved that it had some classic dishes and some fusion ones as well. Came on a Friday night and joined the waitlist but only had to wait about 10 minutes! There was complimentary bread and a side salad that came with the entrees, and the bread was warm and delicious... We ordered the two Allegro specials on the menu-- Uni pasta and Bolognese. For appetizers we went with the server's recommendation; chicken gizzard confit. Chicken gizzard confit was mind blowing. As someone who enjoys things like gizzard, these were cooked in a way I had never had before and it was delicious. The uni pasta was sooo rich, creamy, and flavorful. 10/10 I would recommend it. The bolognese was good too it was super complex compared to the ordinary bolognese and had eggplants as well. Overall, the ambience was great and experience was amazing. Service was also very good and attentive. Super great spot for a date night or just a casual dinner with friends!

I tried both their uni pasta and their mentai creme pasta; while both are delicious, I'd say I favored the uni pasta more! The Japanese flavors are so unique and bring a whole new umami sensation to the pasta. They also have a hot sauce/ spicy oil (?) at the table that I'd recommend splashing a little bit onto your dish for a nice kick of flavor! Besides the yummy main dishes, the staff really seals the deal in how amazing this place is. They are so so kind and extremely attentive. You can really tell that they love what they do and are so excited for you to try their unique dishes. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pasta place!
