🍴✨ Must-Try in LA! Mi Piace – Authentic Old-School Italian Restaurant

📍 Hidden gem in Old Town Pasadena — Mi Piace truly lives up to its reputation as a locals’ favorite Italian spot! This time I tried their mind-blowing trio: Tiramisu + Escargot + Homestyle Pizza — absolutely legendary! 🔥 🌟 Signature Tiramisu: First bite and I was conquered! 💥 Moist ladyfingers soaked in rich coffee, with mascarpone so smooth it dances on your tongue. Hidden gem: a subtle hint of cinnamon adds beautiful depth. Sweet but not cloying — and totally Instagram-worthy 📸. Dessert lovers, this is a must! 🐌 Escargot in Garlic-Herb Butter: Thought it might be risky, but one bite and I was hooked! The snails are surprisingly tender and springy, and the garlic butter sauce is so flavorful you’ll want to lick the plate. Served with crispy baguette slices — perfect for dipping and cleaning up every last drop! 🍕 Homestyle Pizza: Thin crispy crust + stretchy mozzarella + tangy tomato sauce — feels like a trip to a small Italian town! 🧑🍳 Generously topped, with a broth-like aroma that reminds you of “mom’s cooking.” Pure carb joy! 💡 Tips: ✔️ Tiramisu is made daily in limited batches — go early! ✔️ Dipping bread in the escargot sauce is the soul of the dish — don’t waste it! ✔️ Pizzas can be split half-and-half — great for indecisive eaters. 🌿 Vibe: Cozy retro Italian trattoria atmosphere — perfect for dates or friend gatherings. Servers are friendly and even share “secret” eating tips — big plus! 💯 📌 Address: 25 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena 💰 Average per person: $30–50 (depends on how much you order) #LAFood #BestItalianInLA #TiramisuHeaven #LAHiddenGem #CarbLoversParadise #MiPiaceMagic
