23 Best Italian Restaurants near Pasadena

“The atmosphere at Joe’s was peaceful and relaxing, and the food was absolutely amazing! The lunch portions were so generous that I had to take some home. The freshly baked bread was delicious, and the dipping oil was out of this world—you definitely have to try it. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, which was fantastic. Despite how busy it was, the staff was so kind and attentive. I’ll definitely be going back!“

“Every time I come to eat at this place, I feel so blessed by the quality of the food and the service, from the moment you arrive. It's a 5-star service. Thank you for your hard work and for giving your best. God bless you, and we will be back soon.“

“Everything was great (as usual)! Noemi was very attentive and provided great service. We ordered our usual- garlic shrimp for appetizer and chicken cannelloni and everything was good.“

“Today's walk-in for take out was at the Fairmont location. I would have used their drive through window but the sign said something about pickup orders (placed ahead) so I didn't wish to be told to park out front to wait 20 minutes under their shade tree.

My attention gravitated to the window sign for the large fiery sausage and green pepper pizza near the entrance. It was a good choice for $11.90 total.

Five stars, and three stars for inside counter service, because of the malfunctioning card reader declined my debit card, and that was after several attempts by the cashier. So I just paid the bill with cash to avoid the hassle again.

Pizza was good as usual.“

“Wow. I can’t believe it took me so long to find this place. They’ve been open for 2 years now. We stopped by during Happy Hour and tried as much as we could. The Pane was delicious. We also went with the Crochette. The “salsa verde” was fabulous and the perfect pairing to the sourdough bread. The wine recommended was awesome. For the main course we split the risotto and the lamb chops. 5-Stars all the way. We will be back!“

“Best pizza around. All of the dishes are fantastic!“

“Been going there all my life, Even worked there when I was 19 and so on. first job ever! love the place and the pizza is unmatched. try the lunch buffet , their chicken fried steak is killer good. My favorite thing overall is the seafood lasagna. The dish is the best thing I have eaten in goodness.“

“Can't stress enough how much I enjoy Pomodoro's of Clear Lake which is in a strip mall with plenty parking and wheelchair access. The interior is cozy and always reminds me of Italy and is excellent in all areas!! Like the "complimentary" garlic and olive oil spread are always delicious, and I have never had a bad meal. Service was professional, fast & friendly and our bartender / server checked in on us frequently Shoutout to the "owner: who is nothing but "awesome" she always is checking to make sure everything is to our satisfaction, which makes it a wonderful experience. The pizza, appetizers, and the main course meals are fresh and have been "fantastico" which came out quickly, coffee and the sangria were yummy. Seriously! I cannot wait to go back and enjoy more of their delicious food at a very reasonable price for such quality, I have eaten Italian food in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Rome, Naples and truthful can say absolutely, this is my favorite Italian restaurant in America to date!! Lastly, The restrooms were perfectly clean.“

“Friendly staff and good food.“

“We're frequent visitors to various Olive Garden locations for lunch, and this one always stands out, thanks to Misty. We've been helped by her a few times now and every single time, her positive attitude leaves us smiling. Big shoutout to Misty for making each visit so enjoyable, and of course, thank you OG for the awesome lunch special! 😄“

“Hands down, Shay have the best customer service I've ever received from any dining experience. Even 5 star restaurants haven't have servers that we're that attentive, friendly, and cool. We never had to ask for refills because she was on top of it. I recently lost my dad and I've been having a hard time so my husband took us there to clear our minds and get come comfort food. I told the manager how good of a server she was and he said he would let corporate know, I sure hope he does and that she gets recognized by someone. You never know what your customers are going through and how you impact them.“

“I love this place we are known for are pizza back home up north, and this place is a must go to for me, when ever I am missing home I come here the pizza is absolutely amazing and Taste just like am back home the feel and the look brings me back to my home town when I walk in the look and the feel of the place let alone the owners are amazing and treat you like family. if you haven't tried it your missing out.“

“I had just gotten off of a 3 hour flight and was hungry. The Big Boss Slice of pizza looked very delicious. Well, the picture shown on the menu and the piece of pizza I got were entirely different. I only had 3 pieces of Italian sausage of which none were on the slice of pizza. All three were laying beside the pizza in the box! All that I saw was pieces of pepperoni on the slice of pizza. When I took it back to the counter the employee said it was a slice of BIg Boss when I questioned if I was given the wrong order. I paid $7.85 for a slice of pepperoni pizza with a few bacon bits on it and three pieces of Italian sausage on the side! This place is a rip off!!“

“Guys let me tell you a little story after a little slow start someone pass thru my table and I ask if I could be help he did not other than the service manager at this location like always great food and today was exceptional he took care of us all the way thru drinks and delivered the food him self now that's service thank you (Sean Sullivan ) for great service in taking care of my self and my family is very much appreciated guys you know me everything is about service so I highly recommend specially if he is around great food didn't expect nothing else come and visit“

“We very quickly added Parry's to our list of usual choices for dinner and lunch. They're our favorite for pizza now. It is a bit loud for our taste, so we do our best to visit in the off times between rushes. So far, every server we've had has been very welcoming, professional, and upbeat. That's a good sign. Our only recommendation is that they work on being more proactive when it comes to topping off drinks. That is an easy fix, though.
Give them a try if you haven't already done so. You won't be sorry.“

“Being born and raised North of Detroit and JETS being one of my favorite home town pizzas, I was nervous it wouldn’t be the same, but this location really exceeded my expectations! We had a large order that we traveled from Baton Rouge to get, it was ready on time, cooked correctly, and had that perfect grease soaked, crunch. If we are ever around this location again, we will definitely be back. Great job team and THANK YOU.“

“I get food from here all the time. It's always good. One of my favorite places. Staff is always very friendly“
