“ We always walk by Tarantino's when we walk our dog and it's always bustling and crowded so we finally picked up a pizza to go the other night. There's a reason they are crowded. The pizza was so yummy! I was craving white pizza so we got sal's and added mushrooms and sausage. It was very good. The dough was very tasty so I ended up eating everyone's crust and was too full lol They only take cash so make sure you're prepared. There is plenty of parking on green street. I'm looking forward to eating at the restaurant next time. The ambience is so nice and cozy. Perfect neighborhood pizza spot ”
“ If you love traditional-style pizza, there’s no better place to get it. This place is like a hole in the wall, barely noticeable and quite small. I just loved how traditional every dish was, from pasta to pizza. And talking about pizza, oh my goodness... it’s to die for. I cannot wait to get back there!!! ”
“ Good pizza. We had the tucci special. Nice very crust. Not the best we've ever had but still very good. Shrimp a little overdone but good flavor. Lots of garlic - it helps you not treat too much! Ha! Very nice service. The bathroom is okay. We picked up to go to keep traveling! Size in photo is large. ”
“ I had carbonara, Cesar salad and tirimasu. I enjoyed the carbonara, but wish they didn't have onions in the sauce, it overwhelmed the flavor. I picked out the onions the best I could. I had fabulous tirimisu in Rome, can never match that. I loved the Cesar salad, the server added a good amount of anchovies, I would specify less sauce in the future. ”
“ Came here by chance and it was well worth it!!! The food was absolutely delicious! We had a shared salad, garlic knots and a pizza(Tony’s). We Would definitely came back here. The staff was amazing, very welcoming. They were fast and gave us options as we told them it was our first time here, even gave us some suggestions for next time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone I know. ”
“ Absolutely love this place. I’ve been coming here for many years(remember the Colorado Blvd location?) the spinach Florentine is delicious full of garlic and olive oil. The Pepe salad has chunks of tomato, cucumber and all the wonderful things of all of the salads mixed together the garlic knots can’t go wrong pepperoni pizza. The best you ever had 10 out of 10 totally recommend this location. They have indoor and outdoor seating a restroom and free parking on the street. There’s paid parking in the back. Miguel gave us great service. He miss Pepe and always will RIP my friend. ”
“ Great place in Pasadena for classic homestyle Italian food. Prices are fair in regards to the portion size and all of their dishes have a distinct homemade flair that enhances their flavors even further. ”
“ Delicious Italian eatery! The Pepe salad is so great, I’d go back for that alone! Shrimp pizza was great too. Complimentary bread and a small salad come with pasta plates. I had the baked ziti which was good too. The restaurant is on the small side but has a a cozy, family owned feel. Parking may be a little tough as you have to find a spot in the street, so allow some time for that. High chairs available. This place is CASH only, come prepared. PpThis is a great hole in the wall restaurant and it’s hard to go wrong on anything you order, definitely recommend! ”
