26 Best Italian Restaurants in Pasadena

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.“

“Excellent customer service and food!“

“Curbside pickup First time“

“My daughter took her dad here for father's day. It was a great vibe, we sat outdoors, they had tv so he could watch the word cup. The food and drink orders came out in pretty quickly. I had the wings in hot honey bbq, my husband had the meatball sub which came with fries and our daughter had a 10 inch pizza, which took longer but the freshness, flavor, and quality of the meal was there.“

“Family-run! Father cooks while daughter is front of house — love to see it! Their focaccia is so good, and the Daviola pizza was awesome too. The dough was airy and light while the meat was super juicy. Service was excellent: they really take care of you there. They really pay attention 💕“

“4 out of five ★. Love the concept. The ambiance is nice, the service very nice and the food very very good. The concept itself is spectacular. Sadly, it does not work as well in all locations - our visits to the Pasadena location always led to disappointments. Worse: many communications were exchanged, which led nowhere (and we never went again). I highly recommend this particular UOVO. Why "only" four out of five stars then? I do n to like to be bullshitted. They strive that they are a "no-tipping" restaurant as they properly pay their employees - which sounds amazing, in every aspect. Then they charge you an extra 16% "fee". C'mon guys. No one likes to be bullshitted. You offer an excellent deal for Wonderfull food. If you like to keep the "no-tip-strategy" raise food and drinks by a dollar or two. No one would complain.“

“Such a hidden gem in Pasadena! The Italian Deli Co. has everything you could want from a great Italian restaurant. The food was delicious—I had the pecan, peach & goat cheese salad and the truffle ravioli, and both were excellent. They also have a wonderful wine selection.

The service was incredibly warm and welcoming, with that personal, family-run, mom-and-pop feel that’s becoming so hard to find. There was live music when we visited, which made the experience even better, and the restaurant itself is modern, beautiful, and has such a lovely atmosphere.

Delicious Italian food, great wine, live music, genuinely warm service, and a beautiful setting—what more could you want? Definitely a hidden gem in Pasadena, and I’m so glad I found it. I’ll absolutely be back!“

Beautiful presentation, and in my opinion, we were served a lovely amount of food for a “special.” The service was very good. We do not live in the area but I would definitely make the field trip to eat here again…and bring my friends!“

“It was delicious and my waiter was awesome.“

“Good pizza. Not the best I have had but I think i should have asked for it to be good a little longer. Crust was a little too floppy.

Nice staff. No place to sit it is basically a hole im the wall.

I bit overpriced for a pizza.
