I had lived in Pasadena for quite some time before I knew this place existed; it can be easy to miss when you're driving down the street. My wife and I always enjoy going. I have had both the pizza and the pasta and both were excellent. I always enjoy the atmosphere and its fun to eavesdrop on the interesting mix of people that come to dinner. The owner seems ever-present, floating around talking to the guests she knows. She seems like a very warm hospitable person and I think that comes through in the restaurant as a whole. Recommended for a romantic date on the town. Call for reservations.
Pros: Easy parking, interesting crowd, great food
Cons: Can get crowded

When I drove into the lot I knew this was the place. I could see and smell the sweet apple and oak coming out of the smokestack in the back smokehouse area. I found a nice smoke ring on my Tri tip and Baby back ribs and both were tender as well. This BBQ is as good as it gets and better than some in my home state of Texas.
Pros: Apple & Oak Wood for smoking, Shiner Bock on tap
Cons: Closed on Monday, no Monday Night football

My boyfriend and I go to Mi Piace all the time. Sometimes we forget to make reservations and we'll wait a bit, but definitely worth it. Friendly workers, fantastic food and what a great ambiance. We're there every other Monday since they have the all day Happy Hour! prices are great and portions are just right! Absolutely recommend Mi Piace to everyone and will keep going there myself.

I lived in Pasadena for 10 years before I moved and I have yet to find better food than Saladang. Saladang is the most consistent restaurant I have ever eaten at. The service was always awesome. And the food was always good. When I come back it will be on my things to do in LA list. I miss you Saladang!!!!
Pros: Too many to list.
Cons: Parking only issue.

The New York Strip steak that was aged for 40 days was one of the best steaks that I have ever had. The sides were typical chop house style sides, but their deserts were outstanding. I recommend starting with the Bibb salad, New York Strip for the entrée with sweet corn and wild mushrooms as sides, and ending with the Grand Marnier soufflé.

If you ever want fabulous salads to dress up or be your catered meal. Green Street has become our reliable and favorite supplier. All of the salads are great, but the Dianne, Southwestern Caesar, and the Cornucopia are staples for us. Enjoy JK

I love Tarantino's and go there at least once a week. I've never had anything bad there, but a few of my favorites are the linguini with meat sauce and meatballs, the garlic rolls (to die for!), and the deluxe pizza. The pizza toppings are always fresh and delicious, no frozen veggies here!
Bring cash and a healthy appetite cause the portions are big and they don't take credit.
Pros: Great Food, Great Prices, Nice guys working
Cons: Cash Only

This place is a gem that I lost 25 years ago, But on Friday I found an old friend that I hope to see a lot more of in the future.
This is a place to go for a quick bit, to take a few friends for a burger and some laughs, or the whole family for burgers and pies.
The breakfast is pretty good too.
If you go once you?ll keep going back.
Pros: Great burgers & pies
Cons: limited seating
