50 Best Italian Restaurants near Pasadena

“it was the highlight of my day to come to Carrabba's with my wife. We were nearby and always come to Carrabba's for our favorite dish. Fettuccine Carrabba! It's the best and the people that work here in Pasadena are the sweetest most accommodating out of all of them. I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness, the service and the food. The manager "Ben" is fantastic too!“

“Never disappointed. Food always very good.“

“Quality matters !!! Ordered for the first time tonight. Amazing and fresh !!! Highly recommend !!!“

“Best menu around the Pasadena area“

“This is probably going to be our go-to pizza place now that we've moved to Pasadena. The wings are decent and pizza is great. Gave it 4 starts on food because there's never enough dough in the middle of the pie, meaning when you go to grab a slice, the middle just collapses in your hand. But since we prefer a nice thin floppy pizza, it's not the biggest deal breaker.Service is good and good delivery service when you're feeling lazy.“

“I love pizza bolis 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕“

“I ordered the NY Cheese Combo Pizza with pepperoni, ham, and sausage. It wasn't bad, but it was slightly on the greasy side. The crust could've been or the crispier side, but the dough isn't bad. I dined in, but the service was mediocre at best. The guy who took my order brought the pizza out. He was on his cell phone speaking with someone and didn't ask if i needed anything else. I had no drink, so I grabbed a beverage from the cooler. I recommend this place, but don't expect friendly service.“

“Really good food at great prices. We ordered a salad, a calzone and a soup and it was more than enough to fill both of us up. It was really yummy and inexpensive too. Very good experience. I've had the pizza there before also and it's really good as well.“

“This is my go to place when I am back home in Pasadena. yesterday we got take our for 8 people everything was really good..I got a shrimp and steak sub the meat was so good so much flavor. it didn't have cheese but that's my fault for not asking but still so good ! keep doing what you doing and I will keep stopping in when ever I am in Pasadena!“

“I want to recommend all to visit this Maggiano’s location for their great service,awesome food, and atmosphere. They invited my daughter and our family to visit for her birthday and went above and beyond to make her feel special. The manager Ahilan and his team could not have made my daughter feel anymore special than she did and it was truly a night to remember! Mussels were delicious and the desserts were incredible!“

“Many thanks to Pasticcio Fresh Italian Kitchen for working with St. Mary’s Lacrosse for their Christmas game. Pasticcio made it easy to feed over 130 people today.“

“Nice small italian deli with takeout or eat in sandwiches, soups, salads. They have 2 walls of wine selection. They have some traditional Italian products for sale also. Our sandwiches were good with plenty of meat.

I was a little confused about ordering, where to order and what options were available... I don't recall it being clearly marked.“

“The food was great!! and always will be,almost as good as it was when I worked there over 15yrs ago.“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem. I prefer pasta made with a fresh sauce based on olive oil or cherry tomatoes. But here in US, they always put a lot of cream or marinara sauce straight out of shelf. I’m very happy when I found Bella Italia offers what I like. And they did a fantastic job balancing all the flavors. Would go again if I have the chance.“

“Always great food and a wonderful atmosphere. We come here frequently for the Wednesday networking event and the entire staff is always so friendly.“

“We tried Italia’s based off recommendations and we are so satisfied. The pizza was fantastic!! The gluten-free was great for my husband. I’m new to the area and prefer local vs chain restaurants for pizza. Totally recommend this for pizza. I can’t wait to dine in for other dishes!“

“Try the calamari and cherry limeade“

“Wonderful, wonderful experience! Not only did we have a good experience on Thursday night with our basketball team, but when we called again on Friday they remembered us. Commented on how well behaved our school was. We ended up ordering 15 pizzas for Friday night, they gave us 20 bucks off and carried all 15 pizzas to the car for us. We will definitely be back! Bayview Seahawks thank you.“

“WOW!!!! Super impressed with the chicken salad and margarita pizza. Absolutely blown away at the quality of ingredients and flavors here. I have not found a pizza place this good in a while. Happened to be in the area post workout as I am a gym bro and low and behold they even had a zero sugar muscle milk protein shake. Who would have thought..... Incredible experience. Definitely coming back! Keep up the great work guys.“

“Hands-down best pizza in town!!!“

“Wonderful experience recommend tom.“

“Italian Chicken Cheesesteak is the best!“

“Mamma Lucia's delivers the goods. I'm sure their pizzas are great. I'm sure their take out menu as a whole is great. But, go on in. Order your food. Sit down. Because something cooked with care and love is coming your way. The staff is great, too! everyone from the order station to the fine ladies and gentlemen working the kitchen. If you care to watch them in action (which you can). everybody is hustling. it's just great. I've been there over and over during the years, and I'll keep showing up in the future. Love them!“

“We love coming here for the carryout special on Monday! The tomato pie is our favorite, but the specialty deep dish slices are also amazing.“

“Three Brothers is hands down our favorite Italian restaurant in the area! The lasagna is absolutely phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, everything we’ve tried from their menu has been amazing. We order from them on DoorDash several times a month, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving delicious, authentic Italian food!“

“Diverse Itilian menu (dining-in or take-out) with outstanding service. A beautiful indoor portico sheltering an indoor fountain and seating.

Restaurant dining was accurate, quick, and perfect

Home-grown, pastas, ingredients, wines, deli meats“

“We recently held a baby shower in the main banquet room at the Olive Grove Restaurant. The staff was beyond excellent, the food was great and the support they provided to us was above and beyond. I would highly recommend you consider this business, if you are looking for a location to hold a family or business event.“

“I am a MIDN at the Naval Academy and wouldn't survive without Johns Fit Meals. They are always on time with delivery and are so good about communicating with me if there's anything wrong! This company is amazing and really has helped my health journey by making it so simple! I would highly recommend this company to everyone!“

“I am picky when it comes to salads but they have the best and most fresh salad from any other restaurant I’ve been to. I just buy the house salad and use the house dressing and li e it so much. I wish I had a pic to share but next time I’m there I will take one and update my review. Service is always great. Alex is always so helpful and welding when I go in there so is everyone else.“

“Great fresh salads and delicious calzones“

“We had arranged for a celebration of life and a buffet for a larger group of people. The dining area was very nice, the food was amazing and the staff went above and beyond. One of the staff even played musical chairs with our little ones. They couldn't do enough for us! We had a nice variety of food, something for everyone. I highly recommend this restaurant for your events or dining out!“

“Landed at BWI at 9 pm and wnded at restaurant at 910 pm. Instead of turning me away owner Ihjaz Khan invited me to order and dine in . He and his brother served and chatted with me till I finished my portion.
Ordered lamb curry and naan. Curry was very authentic and naan freshly made despite the late hour . Definitely worth trying when you land in Baltimore“

“Great food good service and atmosphere“

“I wouldn’t normally order a pasta dish from a pizza and sub shop, but I’m glad I gave it a try. The shrimp alfredo was a massive portion, delicious and came with a yummy side salad and bread for a little over $20. The italian dressing was top notch too. So good and such a good deal. Even my almost one year old loved it 🙂“

“Have always had good service and good food the takeout is good and they eat in is good go there quite often thank you“

“Delicious & reasonably priced food. Everything tasted so fresh! It was so good that we wanted to keep eating even though we were SO full. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere with friendly and hard working staff. We had the fried ravioli as an appetizer with stuffed shells w meatballs and the Chesapeake pasta. Holy cannoli!! Just thinking about them makes my mouth water. Would/will come back again.“

“Very good food and service great, delivery was very quick“

Can’t write about the pasta(never haven’t had it yet).The salads are nice and good presentation. Enough for the next to eat.Clean and close eating area. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.“

“As a transplanted New Yorker, finding great pizza can be a challenge. But, Little Carmine’s has their pizza DOWN PAT! Highly recommend ☺️☺️“
