Celestino has been our favorite Pasadena Italian restaurant for decades. The food is always top and the staff so friendly and efficient. We have also hosted and attended multiple family parties at Celestino and they are always great. If you live in Pasadena you already know Celestino is a landmark. If you don't be sure and visit them the next time you are nearby. See you soon Celestino!

Our favorite Italian restaurant. Festive ambiance in all areas of seating, inside & out. Complimentary parking. Staff is on-point, gracious, accommodating & aim to please no matter what the request. Dishes are authentic, prepared to perfection and delectable. We've been patrons since they opened and it is our favorite place to celebrate special occasions as well as our regular visits. ❤️🇮🇹
