Best Italian Restaurants in Alhambra

Our family of six, all adults, dined here for our Christmas meal. The staff was welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and ensured we had everything we needed. The attention to detail was impressive, from the warm greeting at the door to the genuine smiles throughout the evening. Every dish we ordered was delicious. We started with the chorizos plate then five of us moved on to various steaks and one had spinach ravioli. We rounded out our meal with sides of sauteed spinach and mashed potatoes. It was all so good. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, Malbec is a great choice. This wasn't our first time here and won't be our last.

Food delicious as usual, ambience perfect for Christmas Eve, felt like NY vibes busy lively full house with families!! Perfect way to spend Christmas Eve with the family and the service is great 👍 🎄🤩👌🥂

Christmas Eve--pretty busy of course but everyone in good sprits and relaxed. Sat inside in te back room which was comfortable. Service attentive and friendly, drinks prepared well and the food was terrific. Love coming to Gale's!

Went to Bucca in Pasadena for Christmas Eve dinner. Great experience, especially for a group. We were seated quickly, our wait staff were quick and attentive and great value for the amount of food in Bucca's portion sizes. Will be a go-to for big holiday dinners.

It’s an authentic Italian restaurant. The owner and staff has always been welcoming and friendly. The pastas are freshly made along with the specials. The fish are smoked and prepared with traditional techniques of hickory wood. Great selection of Italian wines make it complete. It’s a great family run ristorante!
