UNETTO TOKYO PASTA FACTORY

Love this place! Went here on a whim, and it did not disappoint. We ordered pasta from the Japanese fusion section; I enjoyed the chicken katsu curry— the curry sauce wasn’t overwhelming, which has been an issue with other Italian-Japanese fusions I’ve tried. Great service as well

I was in Sawtelle for dinner trying to get Tsujita but their location was closed so I ended up here instead. They had live music and great food! I tried their Carbonara, which was surprisingly authentic. The staff was nice and I really enjoyed the food

I had never tried Japanese pasta before so I decided to pop in for the grand opening, I was very impressed. The food combines some elements of Italian food with Japanese flavors and it was actually bomb. I didn’t know what to expect with that combo of cuisines, but once you saw how they make the noodles it all clicked. We loved every bite. Their uni pasta is the house specialty, called the Tarako Ika Uni. I tried this and it was really good. The sauce had a really rich and salty flavor which went really well with the squid- definitely not like anything I’ve had before. My girlfriend got the dish with this really incredibly cooked piece of pork. She loved it. Definitely need to come back and try the rest of the menu!

I’ve been coming here since the soft open- if you’re looking for something different than Ramen in sawtelle I highly recommend. I tried the ketchup pasta (which apparently is really popular in Tokyo coffee shops?) and it was super good. The staff were very friendly and my server Matt was really informative about all the nuance of the food. My girlfriend loves Italian food and got the Carbonara, which was actually a pretty authentic version. The chef here definitely respects the classics.

i was excited to try this restaurant since i’m a fan of italian-japanese pasta. granted i went on opening day so i understand that there are kinks being worked out, but there was a lot to be improved on. i ordered the carbonara and it was watery and flavorless. the only thing i could taste was black pepper. the rest of the people in my groups also got watery, oily pasta. the portion was also small for the price. my friend and i both attempting to leave a review on yelp and both reviews were deleted. ambiance was pleasant and staff were pleasant. i sincerely hope my experience was the exception and not the rule.

The japanese pasta fusion dishes were mid. I was excited about this new sawtelle restaurant because I’ve been to a couple great japanese/italian fusion restaurants in little tokyo. My table got the katsu curry, napolitano, and giapponese. Everything tasted so basic. Just simple ingredients topped onto spaghetti. The giapponese tasted strongly of soy sauce to me. We also got the spare ribs as appetizer which was good. The complementary appetizer with the roe mayo dip with fried spaghetti was actually the best thing they came out with.

Took a party of 15 here on January 30th during the soft opening. Everyone loved the food and atmosphere. Service was superb. Food came out at a steady pace for such a large party. Will definitely be returning to try more items on the menu.

I got the pomodoro and it was delicious. Loved the thicker noodles. We came as a large party of 13 during lunch hours and they gave us excellent service!
