Message from Mi Piace

Mi Piace

Mi Piace means "I like it, & you will definitely love it!"

  • Restaurant - Bakery - Lounge
  • Wine Spectator Award 4 years!

A tasty Old Pasadena Kitchen, Bakery, & Lounge is offering fine Italian cooking and freshly baked breads that put Mi Piace on the culinary map. Fresh pastas, coupled with imported parmesan cheese, a choice of seafood, delivered fresh daily, and mouth watering entrees such as our luscious homemade baked lasagna which has been deemed "perfection on a plate". Portions are generous, prices are moderate. The desserts are devine from Mi Piace's own Pasadena Baking Company - the "best this side of La Brea". The new stylish martini lounge, with dozens of martinis listed on the menu is the place for dining a experience to be non stop party. Award of Excellence 2001-2004 by "Wine Spectator" Outdoor Dining adds to the appeal of Mi Piace. - as quoted by Merrill Shindler, San Gabriel Valley Newspapers, Jan 04.

Editorial Review for Mi Piace – by Lesley Balla

In Short
Pasadena's stylish set fills this sleek, modern space nightly. Cooks in the open kitchen hustle to keep up with crowds that gather on the buzzing sidewalk patio or inside the comfy lounge. Mi Piace has Americanized Italian fare, classic shaken martinis and a wine list for all budgets. Pastas like seafood linguini with clams and mussels swim in a buttery broth. Pillowy spinach-goat cheese gnocchi and plump, ricotta-filled raviolis are also popular.

Visiting from the west side I had low expectations about what I could find in old town pasadena, as far as cuisine is concerned. My boyfriend I and decided to have lunch a little before noon. Mi Piace seemed like a nice place to eat. Right away we were greeted a hostess who seated us in the restaurant. The decor was trendy with a New York feel. Our server was polite and knowledgeable. I was surprised to hear her recommend a host of specials. I decided upon the Delmonico Steak, and my boyfriend had the Seafood Pescatore . I have to admit the service and the meal was terrific, and nothing in he west side has yet to compare.
