“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise.

I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful.

Loli Farms 885 East California Boulevard, Pasadena Chicken • $

“Loli Farms in Pasadena is worth a stop, especially if you like heat. I got the quarter wood fire chicken with white rice and coleslaw. The chicken had a nice char on the outside, but honestly the flavor wasn't as good as some other Peruvian chicken spots I've tried. What really won me over was the sauce. It was actually spicy enough for me, which is hard to find at a lot of rotisserie chicken places, so if you want a real kick, they deliver. The quarter chicken with two sides is $14, and there are plenty of sides to pick from, like garlic fries, fried yucca, plantains, sweet potato fries, and Peruvian canary beans. They also have sandwiches and salchipapas if you want something besides chicken. I'd come back for that sauce alone, I just wish the chicken matched it.”

“We hosted a company dinner for 30 guests last night, and it was a flawless experience. I worked with the chef, Bret, for a few weeks to coordinate the menu, seating, and guest count. He made everything seamless and was an absolute joy to work with.
The table setup was perfect, the food was excellent, and the service staff was completely on point. I want to specifically highlight the crab cakes—they were outstanding! I usually judge a restaurant by the quality of their crab cakes, and these were delicious, as was everything else we ordered. A special shout-out to the bartender, Matt, for keeping the drinks flowing all night. Everyone left impressed, happy, and full. If you are looking for a sign to book your next event or dinner here, this is it!”

“Absolutely amazing! We loved Sahara so much that we came back twice during our 6-day trip to LA.

The food is incredibly fresh, delicious and truly homemade. The grilled meats were amazing, especially the kebab, honestly one of the best BBQ meals I’ve had.

The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. They recommended the mixed platter instead of ordering too much food, and it was the perfect choice. They even gave us baklava as a little gift when we left. ❤ Special thanks to Cindy, who was absolutely wonderful and made us feel at home.

And excuse the not-so-pretty photos 😂 the food was so good that both times I completely forgot to take pictures and only remembered when we had already eaten almost everything!

Definitely one of our favorite places in LA. Highly recommend!”

Denny's Restaurant 2627 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena Diner • $

“Hoy (Agosto 22/2026) desayuné en Denny's de #Pasadena (2627 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107) y salí con una lección que me va a acompañar por mucho tiempo. Era sábado por la mañana, el restaurante estaba totalmente lleno y no había nadie en la entrada asignando mesas. Mientras esperábamos, un señor se acercó con una sonrisa. No era la persona encargada de recibirnos. Era uno de los meseros. Aun así, quiso ayudar. Nos preguntó cuántos éramos, tomó la lista, revisó cuidadosamente qué mesas había disponibles y encontró dos opciones. Estaba haciendo exactamente lo que habría hecho un gerente, no porque fuera su obligación, sino porque entendió que un cliente estaba esperando y quiso ayudar. En ese momento llegó la gerente. Él, con total respeto, le explicó qué mesas estaban disponibles y le dijo: “No hay problema, yo te ayudo" (osea él a la gerente) y se ofreció a llevarnos a la mesa. No estaba intentando hacer el trabajo de otra persona. Estaba colaborando. Ella lo ignoró. Él volvió a ofrecer su ayuda. Y ella lo ignoró otra vez. No hubo un “gracias”. No hubo un “yo me encargo”. Solo una actitud que minimizaba por completo su aporte. Durante todo el desayuno no dejé de pensar en esa escena. Al terminar, regresé al mostrador para agradecerle personalmente. La primera respuesta que escuché fue: “¿Para qué quiere hablar con él? Es el mesero.” Y precisamente por eso quería agradecerle. Otra gerente fue a llamarlo a la cocina y, cuando él salió, nos encontramos cerca y me preguntó: “¿Hice algo malo?” Sentí un nudo en la garganta. Le respondí: “No. Usted hizo todo bien. Solo quería darle las gracias porque personas como usted hacen que la experiencia realmente valga la pena.” (por cierto si le pedí permiso para tomarle la foto) Y entonces entendí algo mucho más grande: A veces olvidamos que los equipos no funcionan por una sola persona, sino por la suma de habilidades, experiencias, talentos y carisma que se complementan. No se trata de la edad, del cargo o de quién lleva más años o de quererle quitar el puesto a alguien. Se trata de empatía. De reconocer el valor que cada persona aporta desde su lugar. De entender que una posición de mayor responsabilidad jamás debería convertirse en una razón para minimizar el trabajo, la experiencia o las capacidades de alguien más. Ningún cargo está por encima del respeto. Hoy, gracias a Don Nato, recordé que el liderazgo real no siempre viene de quien tiene el título más alto. Muchas veces viene de quien, con humildad, iniciativa y calidad humana, simplemente ve que alguien necesita ayuda… y decide ayudar. Gracias, Don Nato (espero que su nombre lo haya yo puesto de manera correcta ya que fue como escuche cuando lo llamaron, si es que lo confirmo lo corregiré) Personas como usted hacen la diferencia. ❤️”

Jack in the Box 1415 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena Fast Food • $

“I’ve been coming to this Jack in the Box for probably the last 8 years whenever I need something quick and easy to eat. Honestly, they do their job. 😂 It’s Jack in the Box. You’re probably not coming here expecting some life-changing culinary experience, you’re coming because you want something fast, convenient and reliable.

The food is usually pretty consistent and I’ve never had any major issues with the quality. I will say they occasionally mess up orders, sometimes pretty significantly, so I HIGHLY recommend checking your bag before leaving, especially if you’re going through the drive-thru. I’ve learned that lesson a few times over the years lol.

The employees are usually nice, helpful and friendly, and they do a pretty good job keeping the restaurant and surrounding area clean.

One thing to be aware of is that there are often unhoused people around the property. I’ve occasionally been approached while sitting in the drive-thru, so it’s just something to keep in mind, particularly if you’re coming at night or dining inside.

Overall, it’s a perfectly reliable Jack in the Box. Nothing fancy, nothing particularly amazing, but when I need something quick, I still come back. That probably says enough after 8 years. 😂”

Jack In The Box 30 North Rosemead Boulevard, Pasadena Fast Food • $

“Kevin and I stopped at this Jack in the Box on our way to Chantry Flat for a picnic lunch date, and it ended up being the perfect quick stop!

We placed a mobile order and chose drive-thru pickup, and everything was ready in under 5 minutes. The process was fast, convenient, and seamless ideal when you’re heading out for a day in the mountains.

The food was hot, fresh, and delicious, and the customer service was wonderful. This location is right next to the on-ramp, making it incredibly convenient and only about a 4-minute detour from our route.

Even after the drive up to Chantry Flat, our food was still warm, which made for the perfect picnic at the scenic Chantry Flat picnic tables.

If you’re looking for a quick and reliable fast food stop near Chantry Flat or along your route, this Jack in the Box is a fantastic choice.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back the next time we’re in the area!”

Every dish was cooked perfection and was super flavorful. The gazpacho was so complex and delicious. The calamari was so tender with the most unctuous spicy tomato ragu. My chicken and my husband’s pasta were both stunning. And the pineapple upside down tart with coconut gelato was unbelievably good. They made a special presentation of our dessert to celebrate our anniversary too. Our waiter was funny and attentive, and the owner made a personal visit to our table at least twice. This was possibly one of the best meals my husband and I have had in years. We cannot wait to return.”

Not only are the culinary delights delicious (we enjoyed the cream tea service), but what truly made the biggest impact was our host, Sir Edmund (owner). His kindness toward our party was so attentive, and he taught us tea etiquette along the way. He goes out of his way to ensure all guests feel welcome and cared for, and the other staff were also very friendly and attentive.

I especially appreciate the no cellphone rule indoors so we can enjoy a lovely time with friends in the moment without distractions. Supporting Rose Tree Cottage also supports a charity which helps children in Kenya receive education and financial resources.

Sadly, it does not work as well in all locations - our visits to the Pasadena location always led to disappointments. Worse: many communications were exchanged, which led nowhere (and we never went again). I highly recommend this particular UOVO. Why "only" four out of five stars then? I do n to like to be bullshitted. They strive that they are a "no-tipping" restaurant as they properly pay their employees - which sounds amazing, in every aspect. Then they charge you an extra 16% "fee". C'mon guys. No one likes to be bullshitted. You offer an excellent deal for Wonderfull food. If you like to keep the "no-tip-strategy" raise food and drinks by a dollar or two. No one would complain.”

The food is decent, with the inventive pastries as the highlight. The service this time around was great. I opted for vegetarian options, which was accidentally forgotten by the kitchen. The server brought back extra sandwiches for the minor inconvenience.

You get two pots of tea to share with the table. We even got to take some to go, which I haven't experienced at any other tea services below. These small extra touches are much appreciated.

The second time we got the bigger melon one ($19.99) with red bean on the side as well. Heard multiple people both times complain about not getting red bean (it doesn’t come with most of them), so remember to order it on the side. The melon one was good, but the smaller ones were better.

“Nick’s in Pasadena is definitely a hot spot for a reason. From the moment we arrived, the energy was great, busy but not overwhelming, and the vibe was lively without being too loud. Even with how popular it was, our wait time was minimal and we were seated fairly quickly, which was a great start to the experience. Customer service was truly top tier. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the entire meal. Our drinks, appetizers, and entrees came out surprisingly fast, especially for how packed the restaurant was. Everything was timed perfectly, no long gaps and no feeling rushed. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. From the fresh seafood and crispy fried chicken to the flavorful appetizers and perfectly crafted drinks, everything hit the mark. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the quality and consistency of the dishes. Every plate we tried was seasoned well, fresh, and full of flavor. Another thing that stood out was how clean and well maintained everything was, including the bathrooms, which always says a lot about a restaurant’s standards. We ordered the meatloaf, buttermilk fried chicken, and Chilean sea bass, and every entrée was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The meatloaf was hearty and comforting, the buttermilk fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and topped with a rich, flavorful sauce, and the Chilean sea bass was perfectly pan seared, tender, and buttery. For appetizers, we had the deviled eggs and crispy rice with spicy tuna, and both were a hit. The deviled eggs were creamy and well seasoned, and the crispy rice with spicy tuna was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of crispy and savory. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious and worth ordering again. Overall, Nick’s delivers on atmosphere, service, and food. It’s the kind of place you can go for a date night, celebration, or just a great meal with friends. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re in Pasadena and looking for a great dining spot.”

I had no idea what to expect when I walked into this wine bar but boy was I impressed!

BadAshBakes 247 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena Bakery • $

“My absolute favorite cinnamon rolls—especially the matcha! Every bite is moist, not just the center, and I also really love the matcha blondie. I’ve tried the cookies and they are good, but I personally prefer a thicker cookie.

My main complaint is the long wait time. I arrived right when they opened and had to wait an hour and 45 minutes just to place my order. I understand they’re popular, but that’s a really long time. They could be much more efficient by adding another register—maybe even removing the oversized couches to make room for one—or having staff take orders while people are waiting in line at the pastry case.”

There isn't any place to put dishes and nobody cleared our table or literally even talked to us after we placed our order. So we had to pull up another table just to put our dishes on to eat. At one point there was yelling happening between a manager and a homeless gentleman and he was escorted out. we will never be back.”

“Such a hidden gem in Pasadena! The Italian Deli Co. has everything you could want from a great Italian restaurant. The food was delicious—I had the pecan, peach & goat cheese salad and the truffle ravioli, and both were excellent. They also have a wonderful wine selection.

The service was incredibly warm and welcoming, with that personal, family-run, mom-and-pop feel that’s becoming so hard to find. There was live music when we visited, which made the experience even better, and the restaurant itself is modern, beautiful, and has such a lovely atmosphere.

Delicious Italian food, great wine, live music, genuinely warm service, and a beautiful setting—what more could you want? Definitely a hidden gem in Pasadena, and I’m so glad I found it. I’ll absolutely be back!”
