    A Gem in Pasadena - Outstanding Food and Atmosphere! Mi Piace is truly a standout dining experience in the heart of Pasadena. The ambiance was warm and inviting from the moment we walked in, with a perfect blend of modern good vibes and cozy charm. The food was fantastic! Every dish was bursting with flavor, from the perfectly cooked Diablo to the fresh, vibrant ingredients in the sides with my Filet Mignon, which was stellar, especially for the price. We enjoyed a nice Barollo with it and will be back again, The service was great, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured our experience was nothing short of exceptional backed by the manager who was also warm and friendly., Whether you're planning a romantic date night or a celebratory dinner, Mi Piace is a must-visit. We can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

    Perhaps we tried them at a bad time, as it was technically between lunch and dinner, but the best items were the drinks, bruchetta, and desserts. The short ribs were dry and fatty, whereas every place else where these are served, like Musso's, these fell off the bone and were moist and tender. The vegetables served with the short ribs were chewy and not editable. The pasta I ordered was served with the wrong sauce, but they insisted it was correct and had mushrooms, but they were ground up in the sauce., I sent it back as it was loaded with red pepper flakes and burned my mouth. These were listed on the menu for Arribatta sauce but not the Pomodoro I ordered. Also, the men's room situation is kind of strange where you have to treck out of the restaurant into an adjoining building and use a code on the door to enter the men's room. Rather strange for a high-end place. The ladies' room was in the restaurant, but they didn't have a men's room adjacent to it. Again, some of this could be the time of day, but the men's room sitch seems sus. I'm not going back any time soon. 😞

    By default, this is the perfect spot for an Italian cuisine lunch in Pasadena.

    The service and food were excellent. Pollo Mi Piace is my favorite main course and it was cooked to perfection. Minestrone soup was satisfying. I ended my meal with the Chocolate Trio, which was refreshing. I always enjoy my dining experience at Mi Piace, and will return for future meals at this restaurant!
