Union - Pasadena

The best Italian restaurant in old town Pasadena, maybe the best restaurant in old town period. Everything tastes great and perfectly seasoned with amazing service.

Food is delicious especially the spaghetti with tomato sauce. Arugula salad is quite good. Everything tastes great. Must try.

Great restaurant but couple things:1) the food, pastas in particular, are very heavy flavored, we went in large group and all of us had digestive upset that night.2) the server pushed us to order way too much. She had us order 12 dishes (not including bread) for our party of 6 adults and asserted it would be a light meal. We ordered at least three dishes too many. And we are not light eaters. We were not happy with her guidance.

Cozy, great service, and food. Because of an intimate setting, it is hard to talk over the noise of conversations. Kid-friendliness: No children's menu. We ordered several different options and shared. Wheelchair accessibility: It would be difficult to get a wheelchair in there, but I'm sure they could accommodate, and there is outside seating.

The food at Union is just divine. Started out with the ciccioli Tamai beet salad. Every bite was utterly flavorful. Then had the rich creamy fettuccine carbonara with lamb belly for the main entree which was deliciously scrumptious! For dessert we had the chocolate mousse crisp that was absolute perfection. I have to say this has to be the best fine dining I have had thus far with a charming ambience.
