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.

Good bread!

Loved the ambiance once we got in. So crowded and the portions are a bit on the small side.
- Pros: People watching
- Cons: Waiting and waiting....

My boyfriend and I go to Mi Piace all the time. Sometimes we forget to make reservations and we'll wait a bit, but definitely worth it. Friendly workers, fantastic food and what a great ambiance. We're there every other Monday since they have the all day Happy Hour! prices are great and portions are just right! Absolutely recommend Mi Piace to everyone and will keep going there myself.
