    Breakfast toasts (Nutella and salmon)
    Amy W.

    I come for lunch all the time and the sandwiches are quality. Also, the breakfast toasts are quite delicious. However, the service is really slow. I can understand when they are backed up with many customers, but even when there aren't many, the orders come out quite slowly, and sometimes the workers do not seem to be diligent about getting the orders out.

    Not bad. Tuna sandwich was a little heavy on the mayo, but now I know how to order better next time.

Its soft and crispy. They give yoy bbq sauce and mustard on the side but the sandwich doesnt even need that. There was plenty of seats, at least when we went. You can get your own water at the side near the tables. Parking in the back is a hit or miss. It could be really busy or semi busy where you could find a spot if youre lucky.

It consisted of lettuce, avocado, corn, black beans, jicama, tomatoes, onion, quinoa, krispies, kale, cilantro, and cotija. The lettuce wasn't too fresh and there were some that were yellow green but not a big deal. It was packed with flavor even without the chipotle vinaigrette (relieved I got it on the side because I wasn't s big fan). The avocado was very fresh and plentiful. I added chicken for extra $4.74 and it was very tender! Overall, I enjoyed the salad but a bit pricey so it was a good one time experience! The Chicken Pesto Caprese ($14.10) was pretty good. It consisted of chicken, mozzarella, red peppers, pesto, and mixed greens. The greens were very fresh and the sandwich was packed with flavor. The chicken was a little dry but not a big deal. There was a lot of red pepper and it was a bit overwhelming so I wished there wasn't so much. Really enjoyed the pesto since it it wasn't too salty and was the cherry on top to the sandwich! I also really liked that the bread was soft and fresh. Got the "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich ($13.68) - 1/2 portion and it came with a side (paid extra $1.26) for tomato basil soup. It consisted of chicken, krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, onions, and herb aioli. The bread was very fresh and soft. I'm glad I got this in half portion because I thought this was just ok and nothing special. The tomato basil soup was very oily and salty so wasn't too enjoyable. The Pomegranate Mint Lemonade ($5.10) was sooo sweet. It was refreshing but the mint was a little too overpowering. Definitely recommend adding ice and/or water otherwise it's way too sweet! Overall, the sandwich and salads were a bit pricey but definitely one of the better spots for sandwiches and salads in terms of quality and quantity!

    I've been wanting to try this place, and I'm so glad I finally did!…read more I ordered the Egg Heaven and the Iced Honeycomb Latte. The Egg Heaven was honestly one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The flavors were light but still incredibly satisfying. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the egg salad was seasoned so well that every bite was delicious. It was also definitely worth the price, it came with three pieces, which was more than enough to share between two people. The Iced Honeycomb Latte was just as good. It doesn't come sweetened at first, but as the dalgona slowly melts into the coffee, it adds the perfect amount of sweetness. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, you can always ask for less dalgona. On top of the great food and drinks, the staff was incredibly friendly. Since it was my first visit, she gave us great recommendations and helpful feedback on what to order, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

We ordered their house egg Sando sandwich, mango matcha and their ube latte. The egg sandwich was flavorful with a good amount of filling and packaged nicely. The mango matcha was tasty, a good balance of both flavors. The ube latte surprisingly was not that sweet. To us it was just ok. They also had different types of cakes in a can but we will have to try those another time. Space was pretty clean and bright. About four tables plus barstools along one side provided a good amount of seating. Staff were friendly and food and drinks came out in a timely manner.

Service was great and the girl at the counter was lovely but the price of everything was way too steep and it didn't deliver at all. We ordered the mortadella and the artichoke.

    My wife was in the mood for sandwiches last week, so I took to Yelp and found Ferrazzani's Pasta &…read moreMarket deep in Pasadena. I've been married to an Italian woman for years and have eaten sandwiches from Little Italy's all over the states to many in Italy as well, so I was definitely interested to order some sandwiches and giving this place a go. This small shop doesn't have much seating, but it does have a counter to sit at as well as a small section of pasta, sauces, drinks, and various other things for you to purchase when you walk in. The menu here isn't massie, but you don't really need it to be at an Italian sandwich shop so who cares? I ended up ordering the Chicken Confit which description is "Our newest sandwich! Dark meat chicken sourced from Cream Co. Meats, confited in olive oil, then tossed it with an orange-Calabrian chili agrodolce spiked with fennel seed and garlic that's bright, deeply savory, a touch spicy, and a little addictive. It all comes together with spicy arugula and tangy pecorino Toscano on a Bub & Grandma's baguette.". The sandwich was about $15 and I gotta say, it's not very big and it didn't really do the job of filling me up and neither did my wife's. The flavour wasn't bad at all, it was solid enough and I don't have any complaints other then It was simply kind of small for the price. Overall, Ferrazzani's Pasta & Market is fine. I didn't leave blown away by anything, and in fact I was left still kind of wanting to eat. The sandwich was fine, but I don't think the amount of food matches the price and I can't really see myself driving back to Pasadena to give this place another go, but hey, this may be the perfect shop for somebody.

Today instead of taking coffee to go, we ordered to enjoy there. We also ordered food. I brought my computer to work from so we can thoroughly enjoy our meal and the space. We shared two dishes: - chilaquiles: tasty, still crunchy chips, mild spicy salsa verde, scrambled eggs. very tasty. next time will try with meat - french toast: thin, toasted on the edges, soft center, served with powdered sugar and fresh blueberries. will order again Their coffee drinks are delicious. Strong enough espresso for me, enough flavor and sweetness for my sweet tooth husband to love. There was a steady flow of customers coming in. Some ordered to go but a lot of people sat and occupied tables. Nice to see a local small business thriving.

Then came the "huevos rancheros." For $18, I received two eggs, two half-baked tortillas, and enough green salsa to qualify as protected wetlands. No beans. No rice. No garnish. Just eggs floating in a swamp of salsa. When I asked if the dish was supposed to come with beans, they looked at me like I was the one who didn't know what huevos rancheros was. A quick Google search--or simply living in Los Angeles for the last 25 years--will tell you they're wrong. Huevos rancheros traditionally comes with beans. If you're going to reinvent a classic, at least mention it on the menu. Between the indifferent service and the world's saddest $18 breakfast, I left feeling completely ripped off. I won't be back.

Nothing says…read morecustomer service like going out of your way to make it right for your customers and Henry did just that. We went back today and the food was delicious. This time my husband got the Granada which was recommended to us by Henry and I got my usual Legendary. Both sandwiches were packed with meat/ chicken and on top of that they both came out hot and ready to devour. The bread was succulent and a good amount of mayo and ketchup was added. All in all this is the experience we had been wanting to have and I'm so glad we went back. Thank you to Henry, again, for going out of his way to make us feel welcomed and well attended. He was happy to have us back and we felt very appreciated as customers. Can't wait to come back and try other sandwiches!

However, I went for a second time yesterday and was deeply disappointed. The owner wasn't there and instead a younger girl took my order and prepared the food. Everything seemed well and fine until I got home, opened my patty melt and found not 1 but 2 long hairs in my sandwich! They were clearly her hairs since she was the only one who handled my food. I went back and returned everything. I didn't see a hair in my other sandwich but couldn't even eat it without thinking what could be in each bite. The same girl was there when I returned and a young guy. I spoke with the guy and he gave me a refund right away and apologized. The girl who had made my food was maybe 5 feet away and couldn't even turn around to look at me or apologize. Very disappointing since the owner seemed like a nice guy who probably works extremely hard to build and maintain his business, only to have it ruined by some employee who couldn't even care enough to take 5 sec to put on a hair net. Shame on her.

Situated in the corner of California and Lake, parking can be quite difficult especially at lunch or dinner hours. Plan accordingly because it can get quite busy around prime dining hours. They specialize in pollo la brasa, Peruvian roast chicken and it's truly delicious. You have the choice of 1/4, 1/2 and whole chicken meals which comes with 2 sides. There are also family meals for larger parties as well. Indoor seating is on the smaller side so it does get filled fast. Inside they also sell Peruvian snacks and drinks, has a small market type of feel. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. Chicken is super flavorful, juicy and delicious. Do get extra sauces because it is delicious. I like the yellow more than the green. Green has a good spice as well. Plantains, sweet potato fries are my favorite sides so far. Can't want to come back to try some more of the menu.

This location was difficult to find because there isn't a noticeable sign out front. My GPS told me I arrived, but I thought it was wrong.

The beverages as well as all kinds of cooked and packaged snack snacks are scattered throughout the room. This business has high reviews on Yelp, which is why we chose it. I ordered one of the most basic roast chicken dishes. The chicken was definitely tender and appeared very high-quality as it was not huge pieces. But my chicken was pink in some areas - not cooked enough for my comfort level. The skin was soft. I'm not sure if that is a cultural difference, but I have not had roast chicken without crispy skin even at other Peruvian establishments. The seasoning, however, was very good and the sauces were also delicious. I got the cucumber tomato salad on the side, which tasted fantastic with the green sauce added in. The garlic fries were also on the limp side for me. I don't know again if that is a cultural difference . I felt like it needed a second fry. I did enjoy the garlic and herb sprinkled on the fries and took them home to air fry them to make them crispier. I am not sure if it was an off day for us. My friend had similar feedback on her dish. We both ordered the same thing except she ordered the white meat and I ordered the dark meat. Like I said, I'm definitely in the minority of not liking it that much. I have some favorites in the area for grilled chicken and would probably opt for those.
