Delizie Romane is located at 488 North Allen Avenue Pasadena, California 91106. It is a cute, authentic Italian Restaurant. Be prepared to practice your Italian! The staff is very friendly from the time that you walk in and approach the counter until the time that you are ready to leave. They make sure that you enjoy your time with them. Whether you're having just coffee and a pastry or a complete meal, everything is done to make you feel comfortable. As I walked to the counter through a number of tables and chairs in the dining area, I was greeted by a friendly staff member. I indicated that I wanted some help with the menu. She gave some descriptions of items that were available and they all sounded very good. I decided on a few of their popular items. Capriciousa Pizza Italian Sub made with focaccia Fresh made Tiramisu I have to admit I did not know what to expect. I was incredibly surprised as I unpacked my to-go order. The aroma from all the food made my kitchen smell very Italian. The pizza was amazing with olives, mushrooms, and artichokes and of course fresh mozzarella. The Italian sub was impressive. The fresh focaccia with the meats and cheese was a great combination. Great bite and chew. It also came with a great side salad. Fresh lettuce selection and tomatoes with some sliced onions. I came back sooner than I had planned because the food was so good and ordered the pizzetta and a side salad. The pizzetta is now my favorite item. Fresh Focaccia topped with tomato sauce and mushrooms, garlic, herbs and spices. The Tiramisu tasted as good as it looked. Moist and full of flavor. The chocolate topping satisfies that chocolate craving. This was a larger piece than I had expected. Nice neighborhood boutique businesses with parking available in a lot off of Villa Street. I look forward to coming back and enjoying the authentic Italian experience created by Delizie Romane! read more

A great little shop with a very personable Italian staff. The fresh baked focaccia Italian sandwich had ample authentic ingredients and was delicious immediately and a day later. They're pretty riled up about the World Cup so don't bring that up. 5 well deserved stars. read more

The Capri (Caprese) sandwich at Delizie Romane in Pasadena is an absolute masterpiece. The star of the sandwich is their house-baked focaccia bread, which has a perfectly crunchy exterior and a remarkably light, soft texture inside. Every single ingredient bursts with freshness, from the thick slices of mozzarella and juicy tomatoes to the vibrant, fragrant house-made pesto spread. This authentic, family-run Italian gem clearly uses top-tier, quality ingredients that elevate a simple Caprese into the best lunch you can find in the area. Not to mention the cute art on the windows will draw you in just out of curiosity. read more

I enjoy this place. I'm pretty sure that it's a family run business with dad and mom and sometimes daughter working. I really enjoy the lasagna and penne with meat sauce. They give you some homemade bread before you get the main meal. Very small place so if you have a relatively large party, you may want to call ahead. read more

A clean, bright, charming caffe owned by a family from Rome. They've been open about 18months. They make their own tender and flavorful focaccia for the sandwiches which can easily be shared. We had the Italian sub and porchetta sandwich and they offered to cut each sandwich in quarters for us. We had half a sandwich left over to take home. We also shared a bomba pastry which is a simple enriched dough bun, like a raised donut, dusted with powder sugar. They also offer various pastas and pizzas, and have other pastries, cookies, biscotti and other Italian food items for sale. Everything is made in house apart from the ice cream and sodas. Charming vibe and delicious food.the daughter of the owner was at the counter and made recommendations and was super helpful. They also had the World Cup match on. Make plans to visit as soon as you can, you won't regret it. read more

Cute Italian shop in Pasadena (I believe they recently opened)! Went in for tiramisu and was not disappointed! They sell the tiramisu by the slices and it's around average price point. Aside from desserts, they also have appetizers, pasta, sandwich, and pastries! Would love to come back and try more menu items! read more

I have one word for you: Nutella. As an official Nutella addict, I have never met any Nutella-filled item that I don't love. That being said, this family owned business had aa few Fab items to fuel my Nutella habit. I purchased every item with Nutella in the shop to get a feel for their offerings. This included a pretty tarte with Nutella center, a Bomballoni which, was freshly filled with Nutella at time of order, and cookies that can almost be described as a Nutella Oreo. This cute shop also sells savory offerings, but all of their Italian pastries are made fresh in-house. I will be a regular visitor here for sure! Update: I added some pictures of the inside and outside of this super cute restaurant. As much as I love Nutella, their Limoncello cake is to die for! Not only pretty to look at, the texture is heaven in your mouth. Creamy with perfect flavor & texture. And shout out to Jessica for being friendly, awesome and as sweet as the desserts she makes! read more

I'm satisfied ..2G2G issued a refund and acknowledged that what I received was below the advertised value. Also, I want to retract my earlier comment about their pastries being comparable to Costco's. Costco has fresh croissants & pastries that are definitely superior--theirs not so much! The pastries I received were dry, old and hard. If they were good, my rating would have changed. Of course, this is just my personal experience and taste. I honestly wish I can give them a better review. But being unorganized is a pet peeve of mine and not taking accountability or apologizing only blaming 2g2g. A restaurant has cancelled my order before if they didn't have enough food, wish they would've too, so I didn't have to drive in traffic. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because they are still new. Honestly there were pasties still in the case, they could have made it right. So if they are saying their pastries are made fresh day of, I beg to differ, those are def getting sold the next day! False advertisement! I definitely didn't get $18 worth of baked goods! For anyone interested in their 2g2g orders, just don't, just know they over sell on that app. They had to split my order with another person. Because they only had enough for one order. I got THREE croissants!! 3! While the other person got croissants and tiramisu. I would've bought other items but was irked. They should just give their last pastries free to their last customer. FYI their pastries are comparable to Costco. I wish them luck but please remove yourself from 2g2g! read more

I have been wanting to try Delizie Romane since it opened and finally got around to visiting. First of all, it's family owned and operated and the whole family is just the sweetest, customer-oriented folks I've encountered in the restaurant space as long as I can remember. They fresh bake and prepare all the menu items daily, and as I came in towards the end of the day, a few of the baked items were out of stock. But I'm thankful for the few items I got to take away and try. It felt like I was picking up food from my mama's kitchen... they were very generous with portions. Full disclosure - They threw in a couple of extra muffins and cheesecake as these would've otherwise gone to waste. They didn't have to do that, but I appreciate the generosity and acknowledging that the food isn't getting tossed. (It wasn't expired. They just like to serve food freshly made the day-of.) As for what I tried, - The marittozzi (a brioche filled with cream) were airy and light, delicious. They're also huge. - The pizzette tasted very fresh as well, with really aromatic focaccia with roesmary and just the right amount of tomato topping. I warmed them up in the oven for a few minutes, which helped revive them a bit (and now my whole place smells like rosemary hahaha). I bet if you came around lunchtime when they were just baked, they'd be served hot. - The italian cheesecake with mascarpone and a light berry jam topping was wonderful. It's not like the traditional tall, overwhelming cheesecake, but along with a cup of tea it really hit the spot for dessert. The perfect portion size. - I haven't tried the chocolate chip muffins yet but they look delicious. Next time I'd like to come try the cannoli with a cup of Italian caffe latte. And get a puppaccino for my dog :) Thank you Jessica for helping me bring the food to my car when you noticed I had my hands full with the dog leash. And thank you to your parents for the extra muffins and cheesecake!!! read more

Less than a half mile from my house!!! A real Italian bakery!! Since we lost Federico's, there's been no where to find this amazingness. We walked over for dinner and had pinsas (pizza on focaccia-style crusts) and paninis. They were made fresh to order and were absolutely delicious. We would have loved to have dessert but we got there a half hour before they closed and they were practically sold out of all pastries. Plus, we were full!! Next time, according to the gracious owners, we must try their house-made gelatos. There will be a next time, for sure. Don't mind the interior--some cute wall decor--but patio style furniture mostly. It doesn't take away from the flavor and the hospitality read more

This place is adorable. Three of us split a salad, a pasta, and a pizza. The crust was really good on the pizza but I did not care for the sauce (veggie). The Carbonara was delicious, as was the very fresh basic salad. I loved the almonds on there. Dessert was of course tiramisu, and it was also amazing. There's only a father-daughter duo running it and cooking everything the day we were there. Can't wait to go get breakfast there; the homemade Nutella tarts looked wicked! read more

Delicious pastries! I gave a box of cookies to my wonderful accountant (who was very patient with me as I work freelance and have many 1099s and W2s.) She said it was THE BEST BISCOTTI that she ever had! read more

WOW - this is some real deal Italian food! I got the capri sandwich and a cacio e Pepe suppli and some cookies to go. The suppli and sandwich were both soooooooo delicious!! The focaccia used in the sandwich was fresh baked, light and had the perfect crunchy exterior and super soft texture. There was pesto inside the sandwich and usually I don't love caprese style sandwiches but this one was really incredible and made with quality ingredients. The suppli was divine, it was moist and the cacio e Pepe sauce inside was really flavorful without being too rich. Suppli are very similar to arancini if you've never tried. I can't wait to try the other desserts and pastas given what I've already had there. This must be what it's like To go to Italy! Update: GET THE BOMBA WITH NUTELLA IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! read more

If I could give them 100 stars I would. It's an unassuming little spot on Villa and Allen and it's fantastic. There are those who can cook and those who have perfected the art of cooking. They have perfected it! The focaccia is the best I've ever had. Ever!!!! The lasagna is insane. Everything is delicious. Love this place. It's a hidden gem that won't be hidden for long. read more

The food was fantastic. I had the spaghetti carbonarra and my wife ordered veggie pasta. We grabbed interesting and delicious Italian sodas from the case. The restaurant is small but comfortable. We'll be back. read more

Great authentic Italian food, very kind owners, in a cute shop that serves hot sandwiches and sells quality Italian products. Highly recommended! read more

Have been here several times to try all the different pastas and pastries and all have been excellent. The owners love feeding people their food and it shows in the quality and attention. Sadly the head chef passed away recently, hoping this can bring more attention to their unexpected funeral costs and help them recover. https://www.gofundme.com/f/celebrating-catiuscias-life-and-legacy read more

The food was amazing. 1st time here. I had the Diavola pizza. It was awesome. Had an espresso. It was delicious. 10/10. Would visit again. read more

Amazing pastries- fresh and hot. I'm going back for lunch. Impeccable service, the owner is happy to explain things. Great addition to the neighborhood read more

Small family run cafe with great sandwiches and entrees. Very authentic ingredients and foods for your kitchen!

Finally tried this place- our sandwiches were fantastic. The focaccia was fresh out of the oven and so good. I had the capri with pesto and prosciutto (amazing pesto) and my husband had the Italian sub. Can't wait to come back for pasta and dessert! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I've been wanting to order pickup from here a few times but found the online ordering menu a little limited and hard to order sandwiches or pizzas. Maybe they'll update it with more items and descriptions from their in person menu- I really want them to succeed! read more

We are so lucky to have this cafe here in Pasadena! I've tried the carbonara, puttanesca, sandwiches, foccacia, and fried zucchini blossom, and it's all been delicious. Their homemade bread is incredible and is the star of their amazing sandwiches. For fellow lovers of bittersweet Italian sodas, they stock chinotto here, as well a couple small bitter sodas! On top of how good the food is, the service is very warm and friendly. You can tell it's a family business run with a lot of love. Can't recommend it highly enough, and I'm looking forward to going back and trying even more of the menu. read more

I've had work in this area and I finally stopped in for lunch. I can't believe I have missed out for so long just driving by. Don't be like me and turn your car around and circle the block to park and come in for a taste of Italy. This place should be packed and surprisingly only one other person came in while I had Lunch. 10/10 will definitely be back and I can't wait to eat my way through the menu! read more

Amazing Italian dessert in the area. Husband and wife are from Sicily. Desserts were the same my wife and I had in Italy. They even had frozen sorbets in its own fruit shell like in Positano! Definitely a must visit and they said they will had freshly made gelato in a few months. we can't wait! read more

When I found out a new Italian bakery opened up near me I was so excited. Being from NYC, I'm always on the lookout. Tried the apricot croissant and a little bottle of Italian pear nectar and both were delicious. The croissant was to die for, can't wait to order it again. Took a tiramisu home for later and just finished. Also delicious! Look forward to coming back and trying more. read more

This place is amazing. I can't stress how good everything is. The capri sandwich is the best I've had in a long time. We also had the Suppli Cacio e Pepe flavor and the Flori de Zucca. Made me wish I had ordered more of them. I will def be coming back! read more

The most underrated sandwich spot in LA. The place is owned by the sweetest Italian family who are attentive and caring. They source the best ingredients and make amazing focaccia. Ate italian sandwiches in florence and many other places in europe and have been looking for a spot in LA that compares, nobody can come close. This sandwich is the closest to that taste. Surprised there's no line out the door. Can't say more positive things about them! read more

Just came home from a lovely dinner at this restaurant, and it's safe to say it is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. The lasagna and carbonara were delicious! The tiramisu was easily in my top 3 best ever! I really enjoyed talking with the family who owns and operates the place, and hearing how passionate they are about food, and what they put on their menu. They were also very kind people, and so sweet to my boys. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! read more

Amazing place! Delicious freshly made food, very friendly owners, very pleasant atmosphere! Our favorite neighborhood place!

Taste: So yummy! The espresso is legit, strong, and delicious. I've tried a few pastries (very delicious and unique, not your average LA croissant). I look forward to trying the lunch options and unique ice creams. There are also packaged pastas, sauce, oils, and cookies for sale to make a special dinner. Ambiance: A hole in the wall, Italian neighborhood vibe with tables and people speaking Italian at the coffee bar :) Comparison to other local coffee spots: I prefer Delizie Romane to Jameson Brown down the street for the Italian style and unique coffee and HOMEMADE pastries plus the lunch option. Plus, there are open tables! read more

Great addition to the corner of Allen and Villa, friendly, family owned -- perfect coffees and tasty food. I can't wait to head back for a pinsa this afternoon! read more

I have driven right by this unassuming place so many times because it has had so many different businesses inhabiting it over the years. I actually looked at the sign today and saw that it was an Italian bakery and decided to stop in. So glad I did! Family owned Roman bakery with many different menu items that I had never heard of. I decided on the porchetta focaccia and pinsa quattro staggioni (like a pizza), suppli (like arancini) and tiramisu. The crust on the pinsa was really delicious and the olive oil taste really came through. The focaccia had a great taste and texture. The tiramisu was delicious as well! I would totally come back to support this small business. read more

I stopped in yesterday for lunch. I ended up ordering the focaccia sandwich. It took about 15 minutes to come out, but wow it was so worth the wait. So fresh and delicious a huge portion too, I could have easily split it with somebody. Very friendly service. Daydreaming about the focaccia today. read more

Overpriced and small potion for a local food joint. Do not order any of $5.50 fries. I ordered a potato fry w stuffed mozzarella and they gave me one tiny finger size fry. Also ordered zucchini fries and gave me fried cod instead by mistake but it was very soggy. All their fry orders are a single order and didnt specify and feel like i got ripped off. I wouldn't have ordered if i knew it was $5.50/piece The lasagna was very mediocre and the flat pasta was overcooked. I really wanted like this place but still need alot of work needs to be done. read more

The food is authentic Italian food. The family is absolutely wonderful. They are the nicest people in the world. We love their pastries and desserts. I recommend this place 100% fabulous . read more

I can't rave enough about Delizie. My husband and I happened to walk by on February 7th which was their soft opening. We have been looking for an authentic Italian spot to sit and enjoy a cappuccino and bomba on a Saturday/Sunday morning. My husband is the son of Italian immigrants and sitting at the bar, listening to the owners speak to each other takes us back to lazy Saturday mornings in Rome. The moment the door opens, we hear Buon Giorno and immediately feel at home. The coffee is wonderful, the bomba are superb, and the food is just like my mother-in-law makes. I have not found a single thing on the menu that I don't love. We are so lucky to be able to walk here multiple times a week and always on the weekends. Everyone that works there is always welcoming and warm. We will continue to frequent Delizie as often as possible. read more
