Great food and service. A landmark in Pasadena. Staycy and Stephanie started this 27 years ago and serve their customers seven days a week 11 AM to 9 PM. Julie and Hunter took care of us tonight with a red carpet. We thought! But noticed everyone is served as such. Cozy place. Tucked away, yet too too Italian. Drop by next time you are the old Pasadena. You be happy you did

I stumbled upon this place on my way home and boy am I glad that I did. I stopped for a late lunch and the waitresses working were polite and attentive. I tried the chicken Marsala which was actually really good and a huge portion so you sure do get your money s worth. NY Pizza was also amazing. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the food and the staff a lot and highly recommend you give it a shot!

The antipasto salad was the best we have ever had. I had the shrimp parmesan and it was delicious. My wife had the chicken picatta and absolutely loved it. Our server was efficient, took the time to answer our questions about menu items, and was very friendly and professional. The food arrived promptly and was at the perfect temperature.

My husband and I stopped in here on a whim after work last night and now its one of our favorites! Great small cafe feel, delicious food, and great customer service from our waiter. The food was delicious, but the standout was the cheesy garlic bread. My one note is that they should consider serving it with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Will definitely be back!

The Kitchen feels like an old-timey family restaurant, complete with checked tablecloths and attentive service. We ate here on a slow weekday evening and really enjoyed our food (ziti and salad) and the chance for a quiet conversation. Youll feel at home here. Prices are very reasonable.

Got a thin crust pizza which was actually alot better than we expected. It was nice to have artichoke hearts as an option. However we recieved the pizza cold and had a pretty terrible customer service experience. Went yesterday at 7pm, got the order to go because we had other obligations. Shelby took our order and was exceptionally rude. Rushed off the phone, without confirming our order -got it wrong-. There were two people that came in after us that got their food before us. There werent too many people there but noticed the other server doing the majority of the work. She came to check on us when she noticed we were waiting a long time. We were waiting outside but it was noticeable that Shelby was arguing with the other server. My friend went in to check on the pizza and it was obvious from what she overheard that it was about our order. Shelby went to the kitchen to get our pizza and basically threw it at my friend and got upset when she requested parmesean and peppers. Extremely uncomfortable, Shelby needs customer service and team respect training. Would recommend making sure Shelby is not working if you try this place... who knows what mood she will be in.

Not my cup of tea. No refill on my drink. Ordered and got my food and that s it. I had to go to bar to get the guy to give my check to me. Food was mediocre at best. And the group behind me I swear if I knew there company I would call there boss. There entire conversation was how they are ripping off the company and every other word was a curse word. Disgusting what the world is turning into. Or maybe it s just California????

Grabbed some food through delivery. Pesto pasta with chicken, meatballs and garlic bread. Huge amount of food. Tasteless. Ive been told this place is great. The pesto pasta had no flavour and the chicken was 5 pieces. The meatballs tasted like breadcrumb filler. Garlic bread was ok. Ive had better. Dont need to go again.

Very nice Italian restaurant. I like the simplicity not the menu items, but dont let that deter you from coming. The service is great and the food is flavorful. Its small but tables are not overcrowded. Its located right on the corner of two streets and gives nice people watching views at the window. The staff is always courteous and prompt with to go orders.

Great service (6 stars for service!)cute building, mediocre food. Its like eating at a mom n pop diner, but Italian food. Far too expensive for the quality of food. Bruschetta was filled with too much garlic and onion, not enough sweet tomato. Tasted gritty and sour. Chicken parm was flavorless and soggy...probably made in advance, refrigerated, then baked. Didnt seem fresh at all. Ravioli wasnt good - tasted like it was a bag of frozen manufactured raviolis that they cooked and sauced. Calamari was ok and the Alfredo and marinara sauces were great. Best marinara Ive had.

This little restaurant in Pasadena offers up some really tasty pizza, in addition to that, you can buy pizza by the slice. They also feature a pretty well stocked bar to pair your pizza with your favorite drink. Service is quick and employees are friendly. Definitely good place to either have a sit down pizza dinner or grab a slice on the fly.

This place serves no nonsense Italian fare. The highlight of our meal is the lasagna, it was cheesy and delicious. The shrimp Parmesan and chicken piccata were pretty good except that they were accompanied by very salty roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach respectively. The Italian sub and the desserts were average. Our server was attentive.

First time visit coming in from out of town To try it out. Food was not so good. My wife s gluten free pasta with meat sauce was watery and noodles Fell apart probably over cooked. My kids shared fettuccine sauce clumpy and watery. I had tortellini with pink sauce. Again watery. Our cheese bread was over cooked and served with no marinara? My glass of wine was maybe 4 oz pour if that for 11 bucks? Server was not very engaging seemed to have friends outside that got all the attention. We did mention the Gluten free pasta and barely touched it. She took off a portion of the cost for us. Overall just not a good experience. Should of went to Cheesecake Factory like my daughter suggested.

The pizzz by the slice was pretty decent. Im not fond of sliced sausage on pizza, I really prefer crumbled. The service was nice, but it kind of felt like I was invading the privacy of the staff when I came in. It was empty, which was a bit off putting.

My wife and I made the trek out to Monsterpalooza but when we got there the line was way longer then we we willing to stand in. Just to make the trip worth while we decided to stop and get a bite to eat. We saw the kitchen and decided to stop in. It was empty so of course we were sat immediately. Our server s name escapes me since J waited so long to complete this review. Anyway she was very pleasant. Our food came out fast and was very delicious. Then I started to wonder why exactly this place was empty. Good service is harder and harder to find. Then when you add the deliciousness of the food, I hope more people find their way here.

I had high hopes for this restaurant. I ordered delivery for our first pizza from them. The guy on the phone said 45 minutes, but it was nearly two hours before it arrived. And the pizza was barely warm. Plus the driver forgot our soft drinks. The restaurant called and offered me two free sprites on my next order! Should have been s free pizza. Its now a half hour and Im still waiting. It would be one thing if the pie was outstanding but sadly it was very average. Oh and my home is less than two miles from the restaurant.

Absolutely, positively delicious! I ordered pick-up and actually ate it the next day because I got sick and, I cant express how much I enjoyed the stuffed spinach manicotti in pink sauce! It was sooo good and still tasted very fresh. I also ordered calamari which was enjoyable as well. I highly recommend their pasta. Great food and kind, friendly, staff.

Review №114

I ordered soup&salad, which came as a great disappointment. First glance, the dull color looked like left overs someone forgot to throw out. salad ok but large pieces needed to be cut, (bite sizes please. Since I was not happy with the soup..... I was to substitute my order with a half sandwich. SANDWICH-too bready, Italian something, just not up to par in flavor. I arrived with 2 friends and because of this I just didnt want to make any more fuss because I did not choose the restaurant.. Nevertheless I would not go back and I would not accept a free meal from anyone to this restaurant. There was lacking an overall freshnessof the food which Im sure would account for the lacking of flavor. Such a disappointment. The next door restaurant was jam packed and now I understand someone must have been familiar with this restaurant otherwise it would have been packed as well, sorry

I had the bruschetta and chicken parmesan and was happy I did. Both dishes were excellent. I liked it so much, I decided to go back last night for a second time. If youre in the area stop and see my new friends Stacy and Hunter, and have some of their great hospitality and food. Thanks guys!

I would honestly give 4.5 stars if I could. Good service. Quick and friendly. Fried calamari: Good breading, unevenly cooked Fried mozzarella: breading needed some flavor and cooked longer because the center was not fully melted. Sicilian pizza: Good flavor, hearty thick crust (my personal favorite but some might want a thinner crust) even balance of toppings Lasagna: flavor profile was rustic, fresh cheeses, amazing sauce. I wish the sauce was inside the lasagna but I understand its a different style to put it on top. The sauce was phenomenal and I wanted more of it everywhere.

Burnt pizza, soggy calzone - literally put 0 effort into my order. Plus, the vegetables, or at least the spinach, is clearly frozen and had freezer burn on it - calzone was inedible and the pizza was clearly from several hours ago. Total waste of money and ingredients.

Review №134

Place was empty, and learned that it was for a reason. Staff was pleasant, food was AWFUL. ordered a caprese salad, new york pepperoni pizza, Chicago deep dish and lasagna. Salad was good(hard to mess that up), lasagna was cold and rubbery, it just looked and tasted like itd been sitting for hours before it was served to us. Deep dish was room temperature and soggy, pizza dough felt undercooked. New York pizza was the only one that was warmer than room temperature, the dough on both pizzas was awful quality and tomato sauce was mediocre at best, and thats what basically MAKES a pizza right? I always over order when it comes to pizza and pasta because they make great leftovers, needless to say, did NOT take ANY of it home, 3/4 of the meal stayed on the table. Pretty disappointing for a $100 lunch(with tip) for two people. Gave the place a chance, was our first time there, and will NEVER be going back. The owner needs to do some MAJOR quality control.

First time here. I ordered the chicken parmesan with garlic roasted potatoes, cheese ravioli with sausage and a side order of garlic bread. We got the garlic bread while we waited for the rest of our food.A+ on the garlic bread it had a very strong garlic taste,very good . The cheese ravioli was delicious the sausage really compliments it very well. Now the reason for the 3 stars. My chicken parmesan was not good at all. The chicken was very hard and crunchy almost like woody texture. This completely ruined my night and I had to get dinner somewhere else. I did tell my server the problem with the chicken and they apologized for it .I was not charged for the dish which I really appreciate. Now I do want to give this place another chance but we will see.

Great service and pizza before the big UCLA-LSU game at the Rose Bowl. Our NY style thin crust pizza was baked to order and tasted great (sausage, pepperoni, jalapeños and black olives)! Love this place on game days, but I couldnt give them a 5, this time, because the house salad we split was dry ... no signature Italian dressing on it! Not sure how/why that happened. Yes, we could have flagged down a waiter and asked for dressing, but it was busy and we were hungry and ate the salad without dressing before our pizza was brought out. Well be back, and if it happens again, well say something no matter how busy it is.

This place is delicious for a friends and family dinner! The food here is cooked fresh and the staff are super friendly. Out server this night was amazing! Went above and beyond for our experience at the kitchen. Their shrimp scampi was really good. They Chicago deep dish was super hefty but also good! And the half portion of pepperoni, Mushroom and sin dried tomatoes yum! I would recommend this place

I hate to speak bad about a business but my experience ordering online wasn t good. If you want amazing deep dish pizza go to Masa of Echo Park, they never disappoint. And the prices are reasonable especially for the amount you get

When we first discovered this place seven months ago, we loved it and kept ordering but the before last order made me sick, I had food poisoning. Today we wanted to give them another chance and everything was stale, even the bread. We are bummed out but we wont order again.
