Los Angeles Food | MI PIACE – A Classic Italian Restaurant 🇮🇹🍝

This Italian restaurant is located right on the main street of Old Town Pasadena! 📍 25 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91105 It’s a well-established spot with such a warm and inviting atmosphere—perfect for a relaxed yet elegant meal. 🍾✨ We ordered: • A fresh salad 🥗: Crisp, light, and refreshing! • Calamari rings 🐙: Tender and perfectly fried, served with a tangy pink sauce that was both sweet and zesty. • Tuna tartare 🐟: Absolutely stunning! Served on a crispy cracker with fresh tuna and finely diced cucumbers—so bright and flavorful. 🥒💫 • Pasta 🍝: Pretty standard, though a bit on the salty side. • Lobster soup 🥣: Delicate and mild—our server suggested adding spice for an extra kick! 🌶️😅 • Coffee ☕️: Authentically Italian—rich, smooth, and deeply aromatic. Loved it! 😌❤️ The vibe here is cozy yet sophisticated, and the flavors feel truly authentic. We weren’t super hungry this time, but next visit I’m definitely trying their steak! 🥩✨ After dinner, we walked next door for some artisanal gelato: 🍦 Wanderlust Creamery 📍 59 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91105 We tried vanilla 🌿 & chocolate 🍫—creamy, dreamy, and so satisfying! 🤤 Have you been to Mi Piace or Wanderlust Creamery?
