Amazing location for Christmas Eve dinner. Well priced, great servers, and the food was phenomenal. They had a wonderful specials, and the Parmesan crusted pork chop was delicious.

As always, fabulous food with excellent service. The best Italian restaurant in Pasadena!!
We did not have a reservation so we had to sit in the tent. Cozy and warm and much quieter than the restaurant, so it was easy to carry on a conversation. Food was excellent!

A great place for a nice dinner - service is excellent with wait staff attentive, polite but not in your face. Food is excellent with a wide choice on the menu with specials for the day. We dined inside and the noise was somewhat distracting and so hard to have conversations. But we do love the vibe and it is a place both for a night out and/or a special get together.
Food was uninspired- chicken piccata was just a chicken breast with a plain sauce. Service was great.
Gale's is the quintessential neighborhood Italian restaurant. Comforting and high quality. The service is excellent too. Highly recommend it.
Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful with explaining dishes. Food was very good. My dad not complaint was the women's bathroom was very dirty with water and toilet paper all over the floor.
We shared several dishes. Two salads and a pizza. One other guest had the salmon. Everything was delicious.
Mediocre at best. Led here by seemingly positive reviews but food was not that great and service was not warm.
Ordered an eggplant pizza, which was not bad, but the Tuscan steak was chewy with a poor sear and the ragu was no better than what I can make at home. Overall disappointing, wouldn’t recommend.

What a lovely, casual, Italian place, with a great wine list! I came in for lunch, and had delicious meatballs followed by a steak salad - both were excellent fare for a rainy LA day. Bright, welcoming space - plenty of room - friendly staff. If you’re in the area, definitely worth a stop!

Great place for amazing Italian food. The menu has plenty of options to choose from if you're not in the mood for pasta or pizza. Although the pasta and pizza selections are delicious. I had the risotto, and my husband had the Tuscan Steak. The wine selection is robust, and the bartender makes great cocktails. Save room for the coconut cake and coffee you will not regret it. I hope you also enjoy your meal. Supporting small businesses in the community keeps everyone happy. The staff members are very kind and attentive.
Apparently this is a very well established and popular restaurant. It was my first time dining there and it was for lunch. My friend and I both had 2 different salads and shared. She ordered the Mediterranean Shrimp Salad and what I loved about it was that had a very light dressing and the shrimps were grilled and warm. I ordered the Roasted Beet Salad which has arugula, goat cheese, sweet pecans with a balsamic dressing. It was quite delicious considering I've been averse to beets my whole life and just starting to eat them. I had previewed the menu before our lunch checking out theire gluten-free options since I am GF. They offer individual GF pizzas as well as a gluten-free penne pasta. This allowed for a plethora of options that I could have tried, however it was hot that day and we were in the mood for salads. Now that I know they have a lot of GF options, I'll be back. I'm looking forward to trying some other items on their menu!
