    Fresh and authentic Italian food. A perfect place for an uncomplicated dish. You can taste every ingredient. The potato focaccia was my favorite. Chewy and tasty. The pasta sauce was colorfully vibrant and fresh. Basil was necessary for the margherita focaccia. I need to try pizza next time. Tiramisu was very balanced, nicely moistened, not too sweet. Like i said its simple.

    I had a wonderful meal with friends. We had the lasagna bolognese and the Sicilian pizza. The waitress was very attentive and the owner came by our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Very quiet and able to have conversations. I had the lemon cake for dessert that was delicious. The best Italian I have eaten in a long time

    Fungi pizza, the thin crust is wow

    The intentional service, deliciousness, and personal ambiance is incredible. Stopped by and immediate favorite with how much flavor is packed for an amazing price too. Dining alone or with family you will have a great time engaging chef Peter bringing his home to every dish and experience.

    Delicious all the way.   Must must must try.

    An outstanding hidden spot in Pasadena. Visit chef Piter for a visit to remember. Quality, Authentic and great value.

    Incredible family dinner for our party of 15! Table was beautifully set, Chef came out and started us off with various different specialty focaccias, calzones pizzetas, and tomato burrata salads. That was Followed by eggplant parmesan for the table-which was out of this world. Some of the items we ordered among our party and we all tasted and shared. Lasagne bolognese, Milanese Parmesan, penne à la vodka, fettuccine Alfredo, pepperoni pizza, spaghetti polpete, chicken scaloppine Al limone, and 2 specials of the night- braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and a penne tartufo (truffle) with crisped mortadella. Dessert was flourless chocolate cake, gelato, tiramisu and warm panettone bread pudding. Everything was exceptional including the service! We will definitely be going back often and highly recommend this new gem in Pasadena!

    Excellent food and service. I'm from New Jersey and often feel LA lacks great no-frills options for simple, homemade style Italian food at a reasonable price point. Enter Caffe Italia. The food is excellent and you can taste the freshness and care that goes into each dish. This brought me back to childhood in New Jersey, which is the highest compliment I can give. The prices are incredibly reasonable and the food is fantastic. Please support this place and keep it in the neighborhood.

We arrived around 9:20 PM and waited about 15 minutes after getting the text that our table was ready, only to be seated at the bar again. I honestly wish I had requested not to sit there because every time lately the atmosphere at the bar has felt tense and uncomfortable. The chefs working behind the counter looked angry, annoyed, and completely miserable. There was constant pan throwing, side eyeing customers, and an overall hostile energy that made us feel unwelcome the entire time. We sat there with my two hungry teenage sons watching other dishes being made while ours never came out. At one point, after about 20-25 minutes with almost no customers left in the restaurant, one chef literally stopped cooking and disappeared into the back to clean while we were still waiting for our food. I finally had to ask the waitress if our order was even being prepared. Only then did the chef come back looking visibly irritated and start making the dishes. It honestly felt like they were angry we were there. When the food finally arrived, it was incredibly disappointing. We ordered four pasta dishes and every single one tasted bland and nothing like it used to. The rich flavor this place was known for is completely gone now. My kids didn't even complain because they were starving and this had been the restaurant they wanted to revisit. Before writing this review, I actually deleted the positive review I posted for this restaurant two years ago because unfortunately it no longer reflects the experience here today. The food quality has gone downhill, the atmosphere feels negative, and the staff in the kitchen seem unhappy and burnt out. We used to genuinely love this place, but after multiple bad experiences, we won't be coming back.

From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how beautiful the interior was. The dim lighting created such a cozy, intimate atmosphere -- perfect for a date night in LA. Everyone we interacted with, from the hostess to our server, was incredibly warm and welcoming. We were even seated immediately without a reservation, which honestly felt like a miracle in Los Angeles. The food and drinks were just as impressive as the ambiance. My mezcal cocktail was delicious, and the shrimp alla vodka pasta was outstanding. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and they were very generous with the shrimp. We also ordered the hamachi crudo, which was fresh and delicious. The key is definitely mixing it well with the green sauce before eating because that's where so much of the flavor comes through. To top it all off, our server surprised us with a complimentary lemon sorbet dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, we had an amazing experience and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more items on the menu.

When you enter The establishment you are immediately aware of the great aromas coming from the kitchen. After walking through some tables and chairs, I was greeted at the counter by a friendly hello and 'how can I help you?' I asked a number of questions concerning the menu. I knew there was pizza but I wanted to know more about their sandwiches and salads. I found out that they do have daily / weekly specials that are a great value. I decided to order a special small Italian sausage pizza and an order of six nude chicken wings with ranch dip on the side. I sat down and waited for the order to be completed. There were a few people at some tables finishing up their lunch. While I was there the phone was constantly ringing with takeout orders. The walls had simple decorations that created a nice ambiance. When my order was called, I was given instructions on how to carry the bag as to not disturb the toppings and cheese on the pizza. As I walked, the smell of the fresh pizza and wings was enticing. The wings were just as I ordered. I enjoyed that they have not been overcooked. The wings were tender and moist. The ranch dressing dipping sauce was a great choice. I look forward to trying some of their other homemade sauces. The Italian Sausage Pizza was cooked just the way I like it. The crust had a nice crisp bottom and great flavor. The toppings of olive and onion were a perfect combination with the Italian sausage. I was happy that I ordered the small size rather than the mini so that I could enjoy some cold pizza the next day. Great flavor even on day two. On another trip I ordered the Italian Grinder Sandwich and a large Antipasto Salad. The salad was full of flavor and fresh vegetables and meats. The sandwich was huge. More ingredients than I expected with a great Italian flavor, the bread was incredible as well. I tried the sandwich both cold and hot and both ways the flavor was the star of this sandwich. I look forward to coming back and enjoying some of the other items on their menu. Fresh pastas are next on my list of things to try. I anticipate that whatever I order will be exceptional!

The cashier casually asked if we still wanted it, and we said yes because we do like the pizza here. They went ahead and made it for us. We were a bit disappointed that there was no apology or any small gesture to make up for the mix-up. It would have been nice if they had communicated the delay better. We'll still come back for the pizza, but I hope they can improve how they handle online orders in the future.
