Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Pasadena

Went to Wednesday Pasta Party and wowwww ! we got the $30 meal that comes with salad, pasta and dinner, enough for 1 person which is great ! food was very tasty and pasta is creamy just how i like it. will definitely recommend!

10/10, per usual. Sangria and plant based meal of caprese, eggplant parm, and zucchini ravioli. Will miss this gem, the vibes, the service, the food and drinks. Hope to get to 1845 where I first discovered it.

We sat on the patio and because the weather was nice, it was very lovely! The food was absolutely delicious. And our server was attentive, but not intrusive. All in all, it was a lovely lunch on a lovely day!

I was honestly blown away the first time I came to Gavin. The food was on a completely different level from anything I’d tried before. Everything was so fresh, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully presented. Even the way everything was set up was impressive. I’ve been a regular ever since. I live about an hour away, but I’ve actually driven here twice in the same week because I just couldn’t stay away. This is easily one of the best restaurants in California. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I honestly wish I could come here every day. It’s definitely a little pricey, but it’s worth every penny. If you’re looking for an amazing Korean restaurant, this place is absolutely worth the drive. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this place earn a Michelin star someday. It’s that good. Definitely a must-try!

We had a lovely lunch and our server was very attentive without being overbearing! She saw to our every need and took very good care of us! She made sure we were able to have our meal and make it to our show on time.
