I absolutely love MI Piace! I have lived in Pasadena for a year now, and go to the lounge at mi piace at least twice a week. The bartenders are incredible (Henri can concoct anything under the sun if you tell him what you like!) and its a great scene at night...DJ, really attractive people (always a plus if you're looking to take something home, lol) and really good drinks. Very cool place to eat and hangout all night long. My roomate and I make it a habit to go every thursday, and wander in at least one other time during the week. Definitely check this place out it is AMAZING!!!!! Pros: The lounge Cons: none

My boyfriend and I drove to Old Town Pasadena last night to walk around and grab dinner. We had only been there a few times before, so instead of making reservations, we wanted to walk around and choose a place that looked popular. After checking out a few restaurants, we decided to dine at Mi Piace. Although we had to wait 45 minutes for a table for two, it was worth it. The ambiance of the restaurant was great--had a NYC vibe to it, and the food was tasty. I ordered the gnocchi. It was pillowy soft and had a great flavor. It was the perfect portion too. We will go back to this restaurant soon!

the wait is really long on friday/saturday nights but the food really makes up for. the service is okay, but there are so many people that its hard for you to get the full attention of your waiter sometimes. the pizza is delicious and the pasta bolognese is super yummy. the bolognese is simple, but it truly tastes delicious.

Visiting from the west side I had low expectations about what I could find in old town pasadena, as far as cuisine is concerned. My boyfriend I and decided to have lunch a little before noon. Mi Piace seemed like a nice place to eat. Right away we were greeted a hostess who seated us in the restaurant. The decor was trendy with a New York feel. Our server was polite and knowledgeable. I was surprised to hear her recommend a host of specials. I decided upon the Delmonico Steak, and my boyfriend had the Seafood Pescatore . I have to admit the service and the meal was terrific, and nothing in he west side has yet to compare.
