I see why Eater rated this one of the best restaurants in Pasadena. Our waitress was lovely and the food was very good. We had the Brussel sprout salad, bread with pickled vegetables (excellent), meatballs (my husband really liked them and I saw a lot of tables with them), the lobster pasta and the pork ragu pasta. I very much liked the pork ragu. I was happy to have followed the Eater's recommendation.

Small, upscale spot with seasonal Italian-inspired dishes. The pasta is always fresh and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is intimate and romantic. Service is very attentive. A great date night option.

A cozy Italian spot with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The handmade pasta dishes are rich and flavorful. The staff is knowledgeable and suggests great wine pairings. It feels intimate and personal. Perfect for a date night
