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,

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.
