The vegetarian pasta was really good and light. You could really taste the oil flavors and feel the texture of the pasta.
I love the creamy mentaiko pasta!

Pasta e Pasta by Allegro in Torrance is a neighborhood treasure and a standout spot for pasta lovers. This Japanese-fusion Italian restaurant consistently delivers and satisfies high expectations, offering a unique experience that balances both worlds. The pasta is served perfectly al dente, with rounded noodles cooked to ideal, toothsome perfection. Sauces are generous and perfectly balanced, with options ranging from traditional Bolognese meat sauce with eggplant to signature dishes like the Mentaiko Pasta, which is rich, savory, and deeply satisfying.
For those seeking seafood, the Nero di Seppia (Squid Ink) is highly recommended, featuring exceptionally fresh squid in a flavorful tomato sauce. The Uni pasta is also a fan favorite, described as absolutely delicious and a personal favorite for many. Even those who prefer more standard options will find equally tasty choices.
Every meal comes with warm, freshly served bread and a crisp house salad tossed in a delicious, tangy onion dressing. The restaurant has a lovely vibe, accommodating both relaxed meals and quick, high-quality dinners. It's a small spot that fills up fast, so arriving right at opening or a little late is advised to avoid a wait. The pricing is surprisingly reasonable, and the beer selection offers a variety of unique and hard-to-find options. Pasta e Pasta by Allegro is a must-visit for authentic Japanese-style pasta with delicate and thoughtful seasoning.
