Very satisfied with this Friday night dinner. The service was superb and the food was amazing. I ate so much free bread before the meal actually came, but no regrets. We got the chicken breast with mushroom, potatoes, and spinach, fettuccine Alfredo, and spaghetti carbonara with added shrimp. All delicious and definitely recommend!

Love the food!! Best Italian place in the area but I don't love coming here because unfortunately I always get Luke warm customer service. Not the best vibes and that's consistent. Unfortunate because the food is great so we prefer take out here.

This place is a little gem in south Pasadena. Great Italian place. Great Italian food !! And the owner is great too. The staff is very nice and the restaurant is also very clean!!

If you are looking for a true Italian pizza, you have come to the right place. The margarita is not loaded with excessive cheese or sauce, that have the perfect mix. You will eat the crust on this one !

This used to be hands down my favorite Italian restaurant, moreover than the much raved about bestia or colori kitchen but i can't believe how far downhill this restaurant has gotten. Their lasagna was overly salty, the pasta also wasn't as delicate and thin as before and if I didn't know it was supposed to have meat in it, I'd suspect it was a vegetarian dish considering they didn't seem to bother with the meat. My other favorite dish, the tagliano e curry, wasn't even tagliani....they basically served my spaghetti and called it tagliani. The flavoring of this dish on the other hand was super bland and...where are the scallops?? For the final whammy, they basically served me rotten tiramisu, which we were still charged for. There's no doubt the chef probably ran off during covid but this is unacceptable for a restaurant.

Lovely local place with intimate service and delicious food prepared well. A really great carbonara made correctly. Great cocktails, too.

Simple rustic ambiance with great food. The sole piccata is one of the best I’ve ever had. The lemon and caper sauce hit a perfect balance . The tagliata con arugula was tender and perfectly grilled. The spaghetti pescatore was better than most Italian restaurants. The prosciutto and rucola pizza needed some parmesano to jazz it up. Overall, it was a good dining experience.

Love this spot & service - so glad they're open again - can tell by my plate I didn't like it!

We ordered delivery from this location a little more than week ago. I requested the Pesto Gnocchi and my S/O got their Linguini with Clams. The food that arrived was still very warm which was great & we received a bag of warm bread with it which was good with the pasta. I really enjoyed my Gnocchi, but I know my partner said he felt the Linguini with Clams was very bland and not flavorful. We may try this place again, but I think he will get something else. Overall, a good experience.
