TLDR: charming Italian restaurant in Pasadena, farm to table, pricey considering the small portions, homemade pasta, must try: charred octopus and polenta w/ mushrooms, easy affordable parking Schoolhouse Garage $1/hour for 1st 2 hours), online reservations available I recently had my first experience at Union, the Italian restaurant in Pasadena, and it lived up to the wonderful reviews I've heard. It's definitely a popular spot, so I'd recommend making a reservation to avoid any lengthy waits. My reservation was on a Saturday evening at 4:15 PM. The restaurant's ambiance is quite lovely, with an intimate atmosphere. However, it's on the dim side, and I personally wouldn't have minded a bit...
Union is a restaurant for the experience of culinary expertise and respect for the ingredients. The menu is balanced with rich savory goodness. Designed around plates that can be shared, flavors are well-concentrated and are morsels of treasures. Sauces are rich and balanced. Pasta is freshly made with care. For starters, the meatballs are as good as everyone is talking about. The attention to detail is on display clearly. A octopus order was absolutely surprising. The flavors were well accompanied and the piece of octopus was cooked to perfection. The Squid Ink Pasta was silky goodness laced with a rich essence of lobster concentrated flavor. Another pasta ordered with a rich duck ragu was...
I don't like to leave bad reviews because as a business owner I know it's not good for business, but I would like management to know that your hostess is extremely rude and abrupt and was trying to kick us out of our table because there was another party waiting. First of all, I was never informed at any time that we were going to have a time limit for our dinner reservation. The worse part is that I was in the middle of a business meeting that I couldn't walk out of. The hostess with the long curly black hair came to offer us to go boxes for our dessert because their next party was there already waiting for 10 minutes. Hmmm, we weren't even done with our desserts and my coffee cup was half...
If you're a pasta lover, this is the spot to visit in Pasadena. We began our meal with an arugula salad that was a refreshing appetizer. My boyfriend and I dove in so quickly that I didn't even have time to snap a photo before it was all gone! Among all the pastas we ordered, I wish we hadn't started with the squid ink pasta simply because it had a strong flavor profile, similar to what we experienced with the salad. However, that doesn't mean we disliked it; the bits of lobster were a heavenly addition, so I’d rate it 8/10. They definitely saved the best for last when they served the torchetti and cacio e pepe together. The clear star of the evening was the torchetti, which I’d give a perfe...

To start, we had dishes like tomato and stone fruit, meatballs, and mushroom with polenta. The polenta was wonderfully light and creamy. For the pasta course, we enjoyed a rich ragu, a vibrant pesto, and an outstanding lobster squid ink pasta. The highlight of the evening was the pork chop, perfectly cooked with a wonderfully smoky exterior. And let’s not forget dessert! The service throughout our meal was also top-notch.
Hostess was very rude she gives this place a bad first impression so just ignore her and enjoy the rest of your visit... Food is incredible! Everything here is made from scratch. Loved the bread, pasta, and mushroom appetizer. Waitress was wonderful. Will definitely be back and hope the hostess is replaced in time for the next visit.
The tender pork meatballs, the incredible lasagna with morales mushrooms, homemade ricotta, and pesto, and the hazelnut chocolate pastry that tasted perfectly like Roche chocolate were all delicious. Outstanding cuisine. highly recommended! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
We had such a wonderful time at Union, we were able to be seated right when it opened without a reservation. The service and food were top notch! Some of the dishes had a Peruvian twist and I tasted new flavors I haven't had before. Will definitely be coming back for more! Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
Charming Italian home-style cuisine! My personal favorites include the bluefin tuna, crab ravioli, cacio e pepe, and all the vegetable dishes are incredibly flavorful. The food is outstanding; I just wish they had a selection of spirits and cocktails.
Top notch everything. Best restaurant in Pasadena. Small unassuming but the food is some of the most delicious food I've had in a while.
