This was the best experience we've had at this Buca di Beppo as we had a gathering of friends to celebrate a couple of birthdays. We ordered apple gorgonzola salad, shrimp Florentine, Chicken Saltimbocca, Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken, Lasagne with sides of brussel sprouts and green beans. The dishes were all good and delicious. The wait staff brought deserts with candles for the birthday salute and it was all fun. On top, all of us got gelato to boot. It was a nice evening.

This restaurant is in Hastings Ranch area of East Pasadena on Foothill Boulevard, west of Rosemead, near the Ralph's Market. It is a nice find in a row of restaurants that have a variety of different cuisines. Maria's has both inside and outside seating, which is nice. We sat inside at a table and it is very comfortable with lots of space and comfortable chairs; there are also booths. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We ordered two chicken dishes: Chicken Michelangelo and Chicken Marsala. It comes with a salad. Both chicken dishes were very good and filling. We had leftovers to go. Prices were very reasonable. Very pleasant experience.We work hard to offer our guests the most delicious and authentic Italian dishes, and are very glad to hear that your Chicken Michelangelo and Chicken Marsala were such a hit! your support has brightened our day and we hope to have you back soon! Grazie, Maddy

Just as Uber has revolutionized ground transportation, various apps have started to offer the same sort of service, but for food. A first attempt to try this--using the menu that was included with the Best Westernâs services guide--was a dead end: after selecting the dishes online, the click to purchase/deliver was met with an error page.Fortunately, my second choice, Grub Hub fired on all cylinders. An added bonus was that I could order the meal from a restaurant several miles away--one that I had been too during my last trip to Pasadena.Arriving in about 30 minutes and delivered with a smile from the easygoing driver, I was impressed with the quick turnaround--not much longer than waiting for the âmainâ in most restaurants.The Dakota Smashed Pea and Barley soup was remarkably hot, had an intriguing texture, but was just a bit bland in the flavour department (fortunately, I had some âheatâ with me--normally used when I cook my own dinner).With noodles that were truly al dente, the Spaghetti Bolognese--with a generous amount of sauce--readily satisfied the appetite.One can only wonder if--like movie theatres versus online streaming--the day may come when virtual restaurants will become the norm, rather than the exception.

Friends invited us for dinner and we were surprised that we had not yet tried this restaurant. We love Italian, we love Pizza... and our friends love this place.First, the pizza is just OK. We commented that pizza from WholeFoods (by the slice) is much better.We had a salad which was not the one we ordered (beet serviced but ordered house). It was good.We also had the bruschetta which was not good: very oily and soggy.Drinks were also less than good.Overall, I would say it was disappointing. I've rated average because it was just that.

Dinner with friends with lovely wine and delicious food. The restaurant seats a lot of people so the place is loud. It was difficult to visit with our friends. The tables are quite close together which doesn't help. Our server was friendly and informative. The food & wine were wonderful. Pricing is a little high.

Was surprised to see the place full on a recent Sunday night, but after having a delicious dinner, I can see why. This restaurant offers high quality food in a place with great atmosphere. We enjoyed our bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese app, followed by the Dalai Lama and The Padre pizzas. We liked the historic building and how itâs been re-purposed into a restaurant.
