    Hawaiian pizza
    Wilfred T.

    This is a great local mom-and-pop-owned restaurant. It's been in Pasadena for years and is a part of the community. I like coming to places like this because it seems like it's a restaurant that was trapped in history and time. Overall, the food was great, and it feels like it was freshly made. The pizza dough was well seasoned and had that airy taste to it. I could tell the food was made with heart and love. The parmesan chicken was delicious. The meat was tender and juicy. The marinara sauce had the right amount of sweetness. The fresh bread was nicely toasted.

    Classic Pasadena spot

    Nice little family owned place, staff is super nice and helpful. Place is kinda old, old tables and chairs, but good for a quick bite We come here for the sandwiches, good deal, 13 bucks, good size, not huge but not small. Ingredients are good, not great, but the bread, that is why we come here, the sesame roll, great bite, chew, slight sour. You can get anything inside, turkey, pastrami, what ever, the bread makes it. If you in the mood for a hearty sandwich, check it out. Dragon egg approved.

    The pizza 2 mos. ago.      This one tasted much better !!!     Maybe it  is who prepares it.   In how it turns out   :)

    Hi , Went tonite , ordered same pizza i had ordered about 2 mos. ago. But this time they did the crust really thin !!! I do not like this pizza crust , i had assumed they make it just like they did 2 mos. ago ( regular size pizza crust ) but guess u have to request it. I didn't have to last time tho. But i think it was a different chef then tonite. The pizza was good but not great like 2 mos. ago. Definitely tell them how u want ur crust ( and yes they will probably charge extra ) which i feel they shouldn't , msybe for extra cheese or whatever , but not the crust. Usually i get the Italian hoagie which i love.

    Hoggie Italian

    The sandwich was delicious with fresh ingredients and the bread was perfect. I had the Hoggie. The service was excellent too.

    Meatball sandwich
    Monte L.

    This was my first time here, and I was very impressed with the meatball sandwich. The meatball itself is soft, meaty, juicy, and full of flavor. The sauce is savory and meaty, and thick; I loved it. The bun was crunchy on the outside and very soft inside and covered with toasted sesame seeds. The service was friendly when I picked up the sandwich; it's a family run business and I believe the daughter rang me up. They appear to be genuinely nice. The place itself is small, cute, and cozy. It's a no frills interior. The fries are seasoned fries (previously frozen), and they're tasty, crunchy, and the seasoning is savory but not overpowering. You still taste the potato which I like. Overall, a great spot for a meatball sandwich.

    Turkey and ham sub
    Sandra C.

    I was craving a turkey and ham sandwich and this place did not disappoint. Sub hit the spot , it was so good and best of all the man at the counter was so courteous and helpful and sweet . The woman that brought us our subs to the table was also so kind ! Definitely recommend .

    three slices of bread!
    Rex X.

    roma market was closed early for new year's eve, so I popped into pietro's for a sandwich. the hot hoagie was great. smooshed down by the hot press, it was a nicely balanced sandwich. sometimes you want a mountain of meat with the bread acting ceremoniously as a wrap, but it's really nice to get a sandwich where the bread contributes equally. all that to say, the toasted sesame loaf made me v happy and it was interesting that they make it with three slices of bread. the sesame taste comes through so well that it reminded me of having sesame jianbing. as of this post, $9ish for a small (6 in) and $12 for a large (12 in). no clue why someone would get the small... I personally couldn't afford it. would come back and would recommend to someone if they were in the area and wanted a sandwich. plenty of parking.

Fast forward to last weekend, we had to be in Pasadena for an errand and finally decided it was time to try it for dinner. I'm so glad we did because this place was SO good! The menu is a little more diverse than a traditional Greek menu, which honestly made it even harder to choose because there were so many amazing options. We ended up ordering the grilled octopus, mussels, chicken kebab, and sea bass, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors and textures were just wonderful, and I would genuinely recommend every one of these dishes. The mussels were actually a last-minute decision and ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night, if not my favorite. The broth was seriously incredible, and the bread that comes with it was the perfect pairing. I usually don't love dense bread, but because this bread sits in the broth and soaks it all up without completely falling apart, every bite was perfection. It could sit in that broth for 30 minutes and still hold together, and honestly, I could have eaten that entire bowl just for the broth and bread! The ambiance is also wonderful. We sat outside on the rooftop on a beautiful summer evening, which made the whole experience even better. Service was excellent too. We didn't have a reservation, it was a Saturday night, and they were able to get us seated within about 30 minutes. I genuinely cannot wait to come back. The only problem is that I want to try everything else on the menu, but I also want to order all the same things again because they were that good! I was already thinking about how much my family would love this place when they come visit. If you haven't tried Café Santorini yet, you're missing out!

I thought that was a bit odd, but I guess it was to detract from unwelcomed guests (i.e. homless people)? Anyhow, we were seated right away and sat by the window which was nice! We were given the menus, but I had to specifically ask for the DineLA menu which I also thought was a bit odd since it seemed like they wanted us to order off their regular menu. Perhaps this was just an oversight. For starters, we ordered 1 of each that was offered: Ceviche Carretillero - Refreshing and brought me back to time spent in Peru! I preferred this option Salpicon - This was also refreshing and reminded me of chicken salad mix in a bowl though not sure I would order it without it being a part of a prix fixe. For the main course, we ordered: Saltado Salad - This had minimal protein and was not so satisfying when compared to a traditional lomo saltado, but the protein that was there was yummy. Aji Gallina - I really was excited to see this on their menu since I love this dish so much and don't see it offered too often at Peruvian restaurants. Though the sauce was good, the chicken was VERY dry and hard to chew (overcooked) so it took a while to finish this. In lieu of desserts, they offered Maracuya (passion fruit) and Chicha Morada (purple corn) juices which were yummy but the star of the show was their sangria which was delicious especially on a hot day. My only complaint about the sangria was that we were charged for 3 carafes when we only got 2. Once we identified this, we brought it up and just went ahead and enjoyed the 3rd one since we had already settled the bill. That being said, always double check your receipt!
