Recommended by OpenTable, outstanding & authentic Mediterranean cuisine, impeccable service, great location, parking across the street. Truly a great dining experience. Thank you.
Cafe Santorini is a staple in Old Town Pasadena. I've never been disappointed by the food here, and it's always such a lovely and lively ambience and energy inside as well as on the outside terrace. Absolutely delicious food, and the service is amazing. You won't be disappointed.
Excellent dining experience start to finish. The food was great and Patrick's service was outstanding.
Food is good . Service is great .the restaurant has a very good ambiance .my friends and I had a great time while enjoying our food and the beautiful ambiance in the restaurant . We will definitely come back to di again and will recommend the restaurant to all our friends .
I've been to Santorini before and always thought it was good, but this time it was exceptional. The service was impeccable, always showing up at the right time, asking us if there's anything else we would like, picking up our plates or filling up our drinks. My friend and I did basically a tapas meal with hummus, the fried cauliflower, Greek salad, a side of chicken kebab and lamb sausage pizza. Everything was delicious, with different flavorings for each dish ... the chicken kebab melted in your mouth. The only thing I would say is the lamb sausage pizza could've had more sausage. ☺️ Love the ambience with an indoor outdoor experience.
Hidden away upstairs off Union street, Cafe Santorini is a cute restaurant with a lot of fun Greek menu items. I enjoyed the Mezze plate that features several Greek appetizers and my friend had a cilantro forward pasta. Service was efficient and professional. I will return to try more dishes when I'm in Pasadena. There's a convenient parking structure across the street.
Enjoyed the babaghanoush (quite smokey flavor), although the 1st basket of naan was a bit hard and dry. The replacement basket was light and soft. Pear and walnut salad with blue cheese was delicious. The branzino entree was mild but lacked flavor and the roasted potatoes were flavorless. Lots of other selections, so maybe select something else. The covered patio seating was very nice, but crowded and quite loud. Service was exceptional, we maybe should have listened to some of the waiters other suggestions.
As long time fans......It always is good....SO HAPPY the pizza is back and can't wait for the pizza bread with the hummus..
This was our first visit to Cafe Santorini and what a pleasant experience. It started from being welcomed by multiple staff members. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and he made menu recommendations. The food was delicious. All in all a great experience. We look forward to a return visit the next time we are in Pasadena,
the experience was underwhelming. The food lacked freshness and flavor, and the overall quality didn't justify the price. The wine list was limited, and the bottle we selected wasn't even available. Service was pleasant, but not enough to make up for the disappointing food and beverage options. Would not rush back!

Always great food and service . The atmosphere is welcoming and the Santorini Martini is delish
We had come here years ago and now it seems like the ownership has caused a decline in quality of experience and food. We waited over an hour to get our food and the place was not that full. The service was abysmal. Nobody came to pour our wine or refill water. We asked to speak to the manager and nobody came until we asked 3 times. I ordered the branzino and it was not edible because it was over salted. So I waited an hour to eat an unedible $50 plate. Awful awful experience. Gone are the good days of Cafe Santorini.
Didn't realize that they charge 2% for staff and $2.50 for a very very small portion of grated Parmesan that we should be offered for free with my pasta dish.
Brought my cousin here to celebrate her birthday. I had only eaten here once before, but the ambience and the service and the food was very good.. you split the salad and we each had the Branzino, which was impeccably cooked. Excellent dessert. Always a great meal.
The food was good, we had to wait Around 45 minutes for an appetizer, and also took a long time for our main course
