34 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.“

“Ledo Pizza has been my go to pizza for over 50 years.Their lunch sized pizza with precooked bacon, meatballs, and mushrooms is the best combination for me. Their sauce is like a marinara. It’s a basic, light, and a tasty tomato sauce. Ask for double cooked. It takes it over the top.“

“I love pizza bolis 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕“

“My husband and I tried this pizza for the first time and loved it. The sauce is a sweet tomato sauce and the crust is authentic New York style. We also got the house salad and were happy with the freshness of the veggies. We will definitely be returning customers.“

“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.“

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

“The specials didn't have prices so I had to ask. I got a shrimp cheesteak and it said it came with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, mayo. I ordered it without tomatoes and onions but it didn't specify that it comes with banana peppers. They taste okay but I have a very sensitive stomach so I was unhappy about that. The fries it came with were excellent, nice and crispy on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside. My cheesteak was otherwise quite delicious, just be wary the specials aren't exactly clear about what comes on them. I dined in with my friend and also ordered something to go. The order taker didn't give me a receipt or tell me when the to go was ready, he just put it up on the counter like I was supposed to know. When I asked about it, he gave me the to go order so it wasn't really a problem just mildly annoying.“

“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!“

“We come here often and love it. The pizza never misses and it’s one of the best chefs steaks around. The pasta is great, the atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the service is always good.“

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

“Italian Chicken Cheesesteak is the best!“

“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.“

“Had a surprise 50th Birthday for my best friend last weekend. The food, staff and atmosphere was amazing. All the guests loved the food. Our server Shailesh, he set up the food, cleaned up and was there for any questions and concerns I had during the party. They did an excellent job and I would highly recommend having any type of gathering or celebration at this restaurant. The price per person was responsible for the food and service provided.“
