The patio is great place to have dinner. The service staff was excellent. The food was pretty good and they definitely have generous portions. Would happily eat here again.

I’ve been to this place many times, and it never disappoints. The service is always excellent, and the rooftop seating offers a nice atmosphere—perfect for a relaxed meal or drinks. The food is consistently good, and they have a solid wine selection. It’s become a favorite neighborhood spot for me. If you’re looking for a reliable place with good food and a pleasant ambiance, I’d recommend giving it a try.

Cafe Santorini in Pasadena offers a great Mediterranean dining experience. I had the Seafood Risotto, which was rich and creamy with perfectly cooked seafood. My husband had the Branzino, which was tender with a crispy skin, letting the fresh flavors shine. The ambiance is charming, with a lovely rooftop patio. Service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for a great meal in Old Pasadena!

It’s always a wonderful experience at Cafe Santorini. Jessica was our server and she was delightful! A great smile goes a long way to make the food taste great! 4 men, 1 being a boring vegetarian! I split the chicken kabobs and the beef kabobs with one of my friends! Perfect combination! I wish they would expand their menu to include Greek classics but that was yesteryear! A wonderful lunch on the patio! The atmosphere is so pleasant and the noise level is as expected in a great Greek Restaurants!

This restaurant is on my top 3 of all LA. I have brought at least 67 new families to this restaurant. All 250 times I’ve been here I’ve gotten the Calamari, Bruschetta, Large greek salad extra cheese, and the absolutely mouth watering Farfalle con pesto /pollo and add shrimp. Nothing better than this combo in all of LA. I went back recently and then again today only to find out 2/4 of those items changed. Not necessarily for the better either. The salad no longer has lettuce, i under the traditional (Horiatiki) does not have lettuce, but its always had lettuce and now without the lettuce the plate is 50% smaller yet the price is the same. Then the worst part that broke my family’s heart, was changing the farfalle to paccheri… dont get me wrong, the paccheri is good but it comes with like 12 pieces. The farfalle was a lot more filling and was absolutely perfect. I literally had to go to Mi Piace after to eat again because the portions were not filling like before. I understand there is new ownership and the sons are taking charge and I commend them looking for change, but for all thats good in this world, please put that lettuce and farfalle back.. some of the other regulars said the same. I love this place but really hope some miracle happens so the farfalle gets back. Ironically i went in to record another video for my social media food page and out of respect held back. Hope to come back to the amazing food that was always here and hope to be to adjust this review to the 5 stars it deserves and to re-write this whole thing.
