Second time we dine here and the food was amazing. The pork meatballs, smoked duck spinach pasta and amazing morales mushroom lasagna with layers of homemade ricotta and pesto, and for dessert hazelnut chocolate pastry that tasted exactly like Roche chocolate. Great food. Please go and support this restaurant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ համովություն

This was the best meal I’ve ever had!!!!!!!! Everything was outstanding. I’m not even sure all I ate since my friends were ordering. Everything is fresh and made in house. Not cheap but worth every penny. Great serve staff

Such an awesome meal for date night! Every dish we had was delicious. They have a small menu, but have perfected thier dishes. At least the ones we had, to be sure. Service was great too, attentive but not bothersome. And the price was fair too. $200ish and that included a bottle of wine. More than acceptable for a nice meal out on a special occasion.

This is one of my favorite places to dine in Pasadena. Portions of the menu changes seasonally and the food continues to amaze. They are true to the farm to table concept; the dishes are always fresh and flavorful. We always order the local wild mushrooms on polenta, the seared octopus with fennel and pesto, the tonnarelli cacio e peppe and the squid ink lumache with lobster. The sea bass was not available on our recent visit but it is a family favorite. The duck breast with plantains was too sweet for my taste but the pork tenderloin was nicely grilled and paired well with the persimmon salad.

Came here with some friends for night out dinner. The food is great, with great Italian options. The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing, and gave that classy dinner vibe, with perfect lighting. The waiters were really nice. The outside balcony is also perfect for those who love an outdoor vibe. Lastly, the pricing is not bad. Might try it again.

The fact that they have no bread service lost a star. They wanted to charge $4 for bread. Our check was about $221 for 2 people (that’s with tax and tip) but no bread service. So no bueno.

The pastas were to die for. We got the Torchetti and the Squid Ink lobster pastas and they were heaven on earth.

Stopped by very early for dinner, no reservation since I was a party of one. Polite staff, very tasty meal but everything was so rushed there was no chance to enjoy. Disappointed because I would have loved to relax and enjoy the meal. Please note there were only 3 other parties in the restaurant at the time and only one new party came in while I was there.

The photos were definitely not the greatest when I took them. Overall this is a solid take a classic spin and brought to modern era on pasta dishes. The first dish was the tomato appetizer with stone fruits and chili vinaigrette where it was a classic take on the tomato, basil, and mozzarella. The sweetness from the honey and fruits with a touch of homemade ricotta gave it a fresh vibrant feel as with the herbs of basil and mint. Great way to get your palate started. Torchetti is definitely a winner, solid pork ragu/Bolognase pasta with that homemade ricotta brought it all together. Tasted home cooked and fresh but with a bit of a lift overall than your typical grandma’s version. It is on a slight bit spicier side, kind of lingers. If you are really sensitive to spice then avoid it but I personally liked it. The corn tortilla tortellini had your similar Mexican influence of flavors but not so overbearing that it takes away from being a pasta dish. The corn and hints of sweetness really helps bring the dish together. Nice mix and balance of sweet and a slight salty. The Aleppo gave it a nice kick, left you with a lingering dry spice feel where it’s pockets and moments the heat kicks in from time to time. That emulsified water/butter sauce where it coats the back of your spoon reminds you it’s still pasta. The squid ink lumache definitely reminded you of the sea. It was a bit saltier than I would have liked but if had a tad bit less salt, the dish would have been great. Out of all 3 dishes, the Torchetti and corn tortilla tortellini were what I would go for, definitely the Torchetti if anything was the real winner here. Everything tasted fresh and homemade so you probably can’t go wrong with choosing any items off the menu. Now the finishing touch that everyone needs to get is the olive oil cake. It tasted like a divine butter cake, crispy exterior and soft interior. Topped with that sugary coated macerated berries and sweet creamy ricotta ice cream and leaf of basil. Would highly recommend this dessert. One word to sum it up would be divine.
