Best Italian Restaurants in Pasadena

Food and drinks were great. It was a little loud with the piano and a couple of large groups but will definitely be back!

Awesome across the board. Lamb was killer. Server was awesome. Feel bad I can’t recall his name but he was an Italian man. Loved everything

The Mediterranean salad was unexpectedly delicious. The presence of pistachios was new to me, but very good. We split the salad and it was more than enough. If we return we would probably split the entree too. They started us off with a pizza like bread that was complimentary. We are visiting from New Orleans and this was best food of the trip. They also had a musician singing in the front near the bar and he was worth going to hear.

Arturo's is a frequent favorite. My wife and I and her mother all enjoy dining in this simple on the outside but upscale on the inside Establishment. We are always treated well, even though we are not as frequent as we would like. The meals on the menu are great but it's the specials and off menu treats that are the real stars. Tonight we dined on a four cheese risotto with peas topped with sliced fillet mignon. Absolutely delicious! A great place for an intimate romantic meal or even a business engagement.

Excellent authentic Italian cuisine. Excellent wine selections — all Italian. Our waitress was perfect in her recommendations and contributions to a delightful evening. service was very attentive.
