I went with my party of 4 on a very hot summer day. The inside of the restaurant was warm. The food was average - all four of us found it on the salty side. The portions are big and the prices are decent.

We LOVE this place! Great food! Friendly staff! And the owners, Stephanie and Stacey are wonderful! It's the best kept secret in Pasadena!

I liked the service and ambiance. But the la dine menu chicken parm was inedible, i ordered a deep dish pizza and it was nothing close to it. It was like ordering extra dough please. That's it! Ingredients were like plastic. It tasted old. If i had this chef at my restaurant. Id be scared of losing all my business

This is a little gem. I stumbled upon it while visiting Pasadena. Everything I had was delicious. I can't wait until I'm back in the area to stop again.

Tried the shrimp parmesan and it was excellent! My wife had the tri-color tortellini. Excellent as well! Some of the best tasting authentic Italian I have ever had with excellent service! We will be back to try more!

Apps were great , the chicken parm tasted like something you would get out of a frozen dinner section at grocery store, spaghetti/chicken was just ok nothing to rave about. pizza had too much of a after taste of something can’t figure it out, maybe garlic.

This quaint Italian restaurant in Old Town Pasadena truly impressed with its well-presented dishes and generous serving sizes.

The food here is simply great! What really stood out was the rich, flavorful marinara sauce, which tasted homemade and wasn't watered down like at so many other places. Their ravioli is fantastic, and appetizers like the bruschetta with tomato topping were also excellent.

The dining area, though on the smaller side, actually adds to the restaurant's allure, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. I can imagine it being perfect for a quiet, romantic dinner or a lively gathering, depending on the crowd. The staff members were incredibly welcoming and friendly, rounding out a wonderful experience.
