Hostess was very rude she gives this place a bad first impression so just ignore her and enjoy the rest of your visit... Food is incredible! Everything here is made from scratch. Loved the bread, pasta, and mushroom appetizer. Waitress was wonderful. Will definitely be back and hope the hostess is replaced in time for the next visit.
Top notch everything. Best restaurant in Pasadena. Small unassuming but the food is some of the most delicious food I've had in a while.
The tender pork meatballs, the incredible lasagna with morales mushrooms, homemade ricotta, and pesto, and the hazelnut chocolate pastry that tasted perfectly like Roche chocolate were all delicious. Outstanding cuisine. highly recommended! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The pastas were to die for. We got the Torchetti and the Squid Ink lobster pastas and they were heaven on earth. The pork meatball appetizer was great but not amazing, but since we weren't crazy about the lamb especially its cost we would probablyorder the meatballs again to eat with the pasta. We were full on 2 pastas 1 meatball appetizer and we were pretty hungry. Wedid have the hidden peach tart dessert that wasn't on the menu using our second stomachs but it was tasty but just average.Basically apple pie texture, but wish the peaches were soft instead of crunchy. Overall fantastic place and those pasta disheswere out of this world. The ambiance is a little crowded and a tad noisier than I would've liked. The waitress was sometimeshard to get a hold of (wish they scanned the area before turning around) but if it's the flavor you value more than the vibethen highly recommend.
Great dinner here that exceeded expectations. Food was super delicious with every dish a hit and no misses. Pastas are awesome with the spaghetti and meatballs a don't miss dish. Service was warm and friendly. The space was bustling. Wines werebanging. Can't wait to come back.
