“Family atmosphere and the most authentic Italian food!! Always delicious and always a good time!“

“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.“

“Great food at good prices“

“Great food in a sketchy area. Between people yelling at me out of cars, aggressive barking dogs, and semi trucks blowing through stop signs, I didn’t feel particularly safe.

However, the pasta at Barrio is incredible. The vodka rigatoni with ground sausage was absolutely perfect and adding burrata only made it more so. You get a ton of burrata for the $5 add-on price and it was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. The pesto pasta was okay, I’m not the biggest pesto fan and it tasted like a mouthful of grass to me. The bread appetizer wasn’t worth it, the bread wasn’t warm and didn’t appear to be freshly baked.“

“Amazing smoothies and bowls! Yummmmy! Cute shop with food and gift items as well!“

“Best Italian food I’ve ever had!“

“Best broasted chicken and large portions. Delicious Italian food“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“Their UBER YUMMY Spumoni ice cream and their EVEN YUMMIER Masterpiece shake!!!!“

“Wednesday 1/21/26 Dinner at Bambino Felice. Ordered the La Supreme Pizza. The restaurant use fresh ingredients and cheese that comes out piping hot! So good, I almost finished the whole pizza by myself but need to hold back as it is only January and I don’t want to break my new year resolution of losing some weight so early; Maybe next month as statistically most people break their new year resolution. lol

I got the pleasure of meeting Ivan, restaurant owner, who took my order and go over their numerous specialty dishes. Thank you Ivan for your hospitality.

I will bring my friends and colleagues back to try other dishes. The restaurant’s service staffs worked hard and quickly to serve their customers.

I recommend trying out this restaurant.

“Very busy, yet very well run restaurant. We were there with a group of 18 last night, and in the pouring rain they were swamped. We had 2 excellent servers and the manager kept coming up, making sure we were well taken care of. The Stuffed Chicken Marsala was superb.“

“Everything about our experience was great! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The menu offered a nice selection of choices. We ordered the lunch special and it was delicious. 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!“

“I was craving some Za this weekend and found this spot across the street from Little Cesar's. I decided to give them a shot and was not let down.

I ordered Calzones one Pepperoni one Italian Sausage. Both of them were great very cheesy with thick crust and a good balance of sauce, dough, and meat.

I placed a pickup order over the phone and the girl that took my order was very helpful and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. When I scooped up my order they packed it generously with napkins, utensils, and two sauces (one Ranch and one Marinara)

Overall very satisfied and will definitely be coming back here!“

“Food was great as always! It was the waiters First day so he kind of forgot to keep checking in on us to see if we wanted more soup, salad, bread and/or drink refills. So when another server came over to see if we needed anything, we said yes and asked for our refills of everything to go.“

“My husband and I were visiting the LA area last week. We walked into Mi Piace - it was Monday, they were open when so many places weren’t. So glad we did. It was fabulous-great food, fair prices and a wonderful server. Try the minestrone. Amazing. Salad was great, too.“

“The best pizza I habe ever had glad I grew up in La Puente. I have overnightes pizza to friends and family in other states from here. Pizza in NY cant touch scardinos and comparing any other pizza to scardinos pizza is extreamly unfair to the other pizza as its in a class of its own. When I was a kid I remember one of the older italian owners at a grocery store complaining to tge manager that the freshness and quality of one of the I'm ingredients was not fresh or quality enough. I dont recall exactly. But I knew when I grew up to own a business I would be that crazy about quality. This is a family own and ran business and I cant express what this place and the food means to our community. We are so very lucky to have them! You have never lived until you have had scardinos pizza or tried one of everything on the menu and I mean this from the bottom of my soul. -SGV“

“Hold the bees 🐝 please 😳
Cute little spot but has to move from where I was planning on eating because there’s quite a few bees in the area. Pizza is over all thin and cut big slice. Good pizza and convenience to work, when I need to get away. Well priced too! Coke and pizza under $10, but kindly don’t forget to tip the chefs! 🙏🏽🤗☀️🍕“
