Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Pasadena

The farm eggs were cooked to perfection. The honey coffee was also delicious. Nice ambiance!! I enjoyed myself

Michael treated us to the best Valentine’s Day experience ever! The food and service was outstanding, the best that the 6 of us have ever experienced. He ensured we received the VIP treatment, gave us a full restaurant history and a tour to see the kitchen, pasta making section, wine storage and back of 🏠 house operations! From people who have spent time eating our way through Italy, we loved the authentic dishes in this former warehouse which was the center of the LA Farmers Market! ❤️

Antico Nuovo was unbelievably delicious The Bone Marrow was one of my favorites. Unbelievable! The bread is impossibly delicious. Can't even describe the taste along with the Burretta cheese, the Pork Ribs were so simply season yet, so flavorful. I looking for going back there and trying the menu on a regular day.The day I was there was Valentine's.

We had an unforgettable evening at Settecento, made even more special by the incredible service of JC and Francesco. Their attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism elevated our experience, turning our engagement celebration into a truly magical moment. Every detail, from the impeccable timing to the thoughtful gestures, made us feel genuinely cared for. Grazie di cuore per tutto! This night will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we are grateful to have shared it with such a wonderful team. Ci rivedremo presto!

Didn’t know what to expect, but I met a couple friends after work and we shared a pizza and some appetizers. The service was fabulous. Elvira was lovely and attentive. The pour of wine by the glass was generous and the noise level was quiet enough for us to have a lovely conversation between friends - we will definitely come back!! The pizza and brussels sprouts were fabulous!
