Randomly met up with husband to let traffic die down on our way home from work.

I had the shrimp linguini special and my husband has the beef kabobs. We also tried a fish as a starter and an order of the hummus and pita bread.

The shrimp linguini was absolutely delicious. My husband also enjoyed the kabobs.

We loved the service we received from our waiter whose name I cant recall. But he made the suggestions for the food...

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.
