Good Italian in Pasadena
Hello, I'm looking for a great italian restaurant for some carbo loading before a race next Saturday. We'll be going on a Friday night, and looking for good pastas in a casual atmosphere with reasonable prices (up to $20 an entree). Preferably somewhere not too loud. Are there any suggestions -- I see dominico's seems to fit the bill, I just want to make sure it's got lots of pasta options not just pizza with some pasta. I'm open to any suggestions in the Pasadena area.
Suggestions for a celebratory dinner in Pasadena
Hi All,
My husband and I are taking out his brother and wife for a celebratory dinner (new job / major life transition) and I'm looking for suggestions in the Pasadena area. We are looking for somewhere contemporary, and upscale (elegant yet still fun) where we can hear each other and have good conversation. Price range -- $20-25 entree is what we had in mind (although a little less, little more is fine if the ambience and food is right). Not something as stuffy as the chop house. It's for a Saturday night..
Thanks in advance!
Breakfast in Pasadena area (for a bday)
So I just called them -- and they said the wait at 10 am on a Saturday is about a half hour.. Does anyone know? We have friends coming from all over LA so trying to make it earlier is not possible. And having people wait around is a bit anti-climatic. How is the waiting area.. do they serve coffee and you can actually sit? And does anyone know how long a typical sat morning wait is (10 am and 5 people)
Thanks!!

Thanks everyone! I think it'll be between Julienne and Firefly -- depending on the wait! Much appreciate the info on the food and the atmosphere! I'll keep checking for any other suggestions. :)
Breakfast in Pasadena area (for a bday)
Hello,
I'm looking fo a casual breakfast place (for 5 girls who haven't gotten together in a long time) to celebrate a birthday. I"m not from pasadena so unfamiliar with the places to eat.
Looking for somewhere that's not too loud, will take reservations (Marston's doesn't although their menu is they right style), and ideally not rush you out -- so we can sit and talk a little after the meal. It is a Saturday so shouldn't be as busy as it is on a Sunday.
Someone mentioned Julienne (is this place a bit stuffy/formal?) and Greenstreet? Any other advice or insight to these places?
Thanks!
