Best Italian Restaurant in Pasadena

My sisters and I had a great time enjoying dinner and dessert at this restaurant. We celebrated two birthdays. The food was so good! Three of us ordered Lasagna bolognese and the other ordered piccatta de pollo. Both dishes were plated beautifully and the food melted in your mouth.

I’m not a local, but I’d send anyone here without hesitation. One tip: if…

My wife and I went here for an anniversary lunch. She had never been I had been there many years before. We both thought the food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, the deserts were decadent, and the staff/service impeccable; friendly and prompt. Our server was on top of our needs without being overbearing, the owner even stopped by our table to say hello and ask how we liked the food.
