A M A Z I N G!!! This is the true definition of a hidden gem with both Food and Service being the best I've ever experienced. We have discovered that this is the THE restaurant that no matter what you try it just becomes your new favorite dish, this is our 4th time here and the experience is as spectacular as the first. The ambience is just as remarkable as everything else, they offer outside seating, separate area for private gatherings, live piano music on weekends and a bar. Quiet and very romantic atmosphere for date night but also super chill for family dinners. It was our first time bringing the kids and they absolutely loved it as well!! Our new family favorite for sure, the drive from Glendora is always worth it! read more

The service was very friendly. The food was ok. The ambiance with the piano is pretty good.

What a *perfect* evening celebrating our mon-aversary!! The ambience is old school class, but not the least bit dusty and musty. You walk in and are transported to a time when restaurants had perfectly dim lighting, smiling bow-tied waiters, and live piano music playing romantic songs of yesteryear. Food was perfect -- caesar and french onion soup to start... lobster ravioli and a sausage pasta dish. Portions were generous, food was so tasty and rich in the best way possible -- not gooey and heavy. Our server Adolfo was the absolute sweetest -- ending all his checkins with a "yeee haww"!!! read more

Spectacular food, ambiance, and staff. Such an iconic restaurant tucked away in a nook just beyond the Pasadena bridge. Although it's often difficult to hear members at your table at times, lean in as you'll be entertained with spectacular pianist nestled in the back of the restaurant, which will be close being a tiny intimate restaurant. We were greeted with complimentary bruschetta chocked with fresh tomatoes and garlic - scrumptious! Everyone gets a fresh roll with exactly one square of butter, also super tasty! Both hubby and I had our own - not a time to share- Caprese salad, fresh mozzarella slices, tomatoes, fresh Basil leaves with delicious olive oil and vinegar..... so good! My scaloppini lemon chicken with capers and light creamy gravy was cooked to perfection and oh so tasty; comes with dollop of mashed potatoes, freshly steamed green beans and carrots with light butter - still crunchy and wonderful! Had such a splendid time with hubby's and my dear friends, who also loved their dishes. Worth every penny and we can't wait to return! read more

Stoney Point Restaurant - Sand daubs with capers and lemon superbly cooked with potatoes and veggies - Italian Near Me - Pasadena, California

I have got to say this place is a hidden gem. The food is something to rave about. I had the homemade meatballs and spaghetti, the pasta was made just right, the meatballs were savory. The drinks are made by someone who knows how to pour. Love the chocolate martini "sweet with a kick". The service is old school. The wait staff is friendly, accommodating, and just make you feel so welcome to be there. They greet you coming in and going out and actually check on you with a smile every time. The ambiance is something to acknowledge. There is live piano music playing in this nice intimate setting. This place is soft, warm, and welcoming. Overall, I have never been disappointed here. I had to share a good find. read more

Decent Italian fare at indecent prices. Simple, straightforward pastas with conventional ingredients run $28 - $33 each. A burrata appetizer plate ran $25. The halibut special was $44.00. Desserts were $13 each. We were charged a $25 corkage fee for a bottle that cost less than that to buy. In short, there was nothing exceptional or memorable here but for the prices. Dining for 4 people cost $264.60. For this price, I expected much better quality. read more

Stoney Point Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was walking on this street at around 12pm one day in 2019 and the door was open and I walked in. The owner in his golden years greeted me and the 2 Brothers working there served me, and it was one of the most memorable moments that I recall in Pasadena. What a Class Act, this is a long overdue review. I had the capressee salad and some wine and a great conversation with these gentleman. Thank you for the memories!! read more

Stoney Point is my favorite restaurant for so many reasons. The menu always has something I'd like including beef carpaccio as a starter and great specials and the service is friendly and attentive. The bar makes great drinks and there is a piano player almost every night. The atmosphere is warm and makes it seem like it's everyone's neighborhood place, which for many of us it is. It is a splurge but the prices are equal to the food quality. read more

Celebrated my 80th Birthday. First time and all I can say is I can't wait to go back. Service, food and ambiance were amazing. Carl read more

Managed to make another trip around the area and decided to visit Stoney point again, such lovely memories. This time around I skipped the penne a la vodka and went straight for the lamb chops and let me tell you, these were cooked perfectly and to my preference, absolutely delicious. The sauce accompanied with the dish was impeccable. I would give this dish a 10/10. Some of the best lamb chops I've had. Lucky for me I managed to pick off a piece of the petite filet mignon, this dish came with a bordelaise type sauce which paired perfectly with the steak. Absolutely fantastic. We also managed to order the calamari and shrimp platter and of course we had to order some bruschetta as well. I'm a huge fan of shrimp, and let me tell you, not one was left. It seems whatever dish you may order at Stoney point, it will always be delicious. For desert we had chocolate cake, this came to us warm and with a side of whip cream. This was such a delight to have especially with the cold night, and of course, I had to end my dinner with a cappuccino. The staff was very friendly and the service was great, I'll definitely be coming back, who knows? Maybe I'll be a regular. Until next time, who knows what dish I'll try next. read more

Last minute choice for dinner. We called & they said come on in! Hubby had the meatloaf. He loved it! I had ossobuco. Beyond delicious! Meat just fell off the bone. Cocktails were nice & strong! We will definitely be back! read more

We came in (party of 4)Tuesday night no reservation about an hour before closing. We were offered a couple of options of tables and we took a round table by the piano. We were having an intimate conversation so it was nice to have our conversation mildly drowned out by the piano player. We later had him play a couple of requests and he didn't disappoint, food, always good, we usually save this place for birthdays and special occasions but for us being just down the street we need to make this a regular spot. Highly recommended and ask your servers if you're not sure what to order or for wine pairings they never fail! read more

I've lived in Pasadena most of my life and have never visited Stoney Point. Recently a friend told me that they have eggplant Parmesan once a week as a special which is my favorite dish. It was my birthday so I decided to call and see if they had eggplant on the menu that day and to my delight, they did. I went for dinner and it was delicious. The server was attentive and the restaurant is cozy. Everyone enjoyed their food. The cherry on top was their tiramisu. It was one of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend Stoney Point! read more

We always love Stoney Point. It's kind of an oasis of an old-style restaurant, with character and even has a piano in the bar area. And they've added a covered patio since the pandemic. read more

I have been to many restaurants in Pasadena and I give this one 10 stars. A small venue with a great wait staff, very reasonable prices and best of all..... a chef that creates the best dishes !!! Personally the best bruschetta ever Plus more. Best stop in Pasadena read more

I haven't been here over 20 years. It's an odd place geographically. But quite good. The wait staff has been there quite awhile and career waiters. The crowd on a Friday night are mostly elderly with a mix of the country club crowd, so it's a respectable venerable place. The food is old-fashioned but done very well. I had the spaghetti and clams in red sauce which is great. The clams very very small so your protein is a small portion. If you're looking for protein, this is not your dish. The short rib special was delicious with a nice caramelization on the outside and tender on the inside. The Mexican sea bass with lemon caper was also done well and came with broccoli and mashed potatoes. So again, old-fashioned but executed well. Bottom line is it's a classic old restaurant and the food is executed well. It's not your creative and new Italian-American cuisine. If you want venerable, piano bar, classic Italian then this is your place. I would suggest that the place needs a splash of creativity in there menu. I'll be back more regularly, now that I know what I get. Oh, desserts are a highlight. Dinner for 5, 3 cocktails, 1 salad, and I brought my own wine and with tip was 400$. So not cheap but not Westside prices. Try them out and buon appetito!! read more

The best! Impeccable service, immaculate energy. I always leave happy thanks to Adolfo and co.

This small intimate restaurant is the absolute best! They are so welcoming and the entire staff from the hostess to the busboys treat you like royalty. The food is absolutely amazing and I've never had a bad meal here ever. The live piano music is such a joy and adds to the dining experience. If you want to experience fine dining at its best, then Stoney Point is the place to go. read more

Hidden gem of Pasadena vicinity,@ a 'hidden' location; but truly a restaurant unlike others nearby . This place has the old world charm of Italy. And the food here showcases the best of italian cuisine, so authentic that i feel like dining in Europe .Plus they have live music on weekend.. Delicious meal along with nice piano performance, and the service here is top notched, what else can i ask for more to my satisfaction. And last , they have the best Soufflé in whole Southern California. read more

Music, especially on Thursday is amazing. Wendy is great! Food is wonderful, service is excellent!

This is a classic, fine dining Italian restaurant, serving outstanding pastas, seafood and chicken dishes. The service is always perfect. It's like stepping into a better time... piano playing, martini ordered, special's of the night shared and a great meal in the way! read more

Still a great atmosphere. Service is 5 star and piano bar is awesome. As with all other restaurants these days, prices are going up which sadly may mean less frequent visits. Hope they can figure out how to hold the line though -- my last dinner there was $90 just for one entree (NY strip), one martini, tax and tip. Steak was overcooked unfortunately -- ordered medium rare and came out medium well. Flavor was nice, however. One suggestion: if your specials are going to be priced significantly out of line with your regular menu, you may wish to consider providing the price in advance either on a printed or chalkboard specials menu or verbally by the waiter. read more

Kelly and the entire staff are so amazing! They make you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door! This really is such a special place with a great history! Good wine, and delicious dirty and espresso martinis! You can't go wrong with the Pasta and Desserts. My favorites are the Lobster Ravioli, Duck a'lorange and Tiramisu! read more

The service was amazing on a busy Saturday night. The food was good. The gnocchi was delicious and the duck was spectacular.

Was a fantastic birthday evening for me last night! My mushroom soup and chopping were out of this world with hilarious and beautiful service from our great waiter. I highly recommend this wonderful old Pasadena restaurant. read more

Absolutely my favorite neighborhood restaurant. It is always perfect food paired with perfect service. I have loved this restaurant for 26 years and counting. Thank you for being there to enhance special occasions!!!!! read more

I've been dining here for over 20 years. The food is exceptional. The service is even better! The cocktails are great. The owners and staff are extremely attentive. The price is not high at all. It's a very good deal considering how good it is! I've never had a bad dish or meal there. Their corkage is competitive, so no complaints there either. I recommend Stoney Point, a wonderful restaurant. Tonight, I sat at table 11. read more

Why does a restaurant with excellent cuisine and a good bartender try to cheat their customers by serving "fake' San Pellegrino mineral water?? On June 14,2022 my family and I experienced this fraud at the Stoney Point restaurant. The bottle of San Pellegrino was brought to our table already opened and without the screw top. (First suspicious point.) We all noticed that it smelled funny: like chlorine! It also didn't "pearl" at the bottom of the glass, a sign of good mineral water. (2nd and 3rd suspicious points.) We complained to a disgruntled waiter who complained, "What can we do?" He brought another bottle, having trouble to wait til he got to the table to unscrew the top. This was real Pelligino! And unknown to the waiter and owner, we had an expert at the table: my son-in-law Thomas is a manager in one of Germany's top mineral water companies, Adelholzner near Munich. What else is this restaurant hiding? Avoid it! read more

The food is generally very good. The service has ranged from excellent to sun-par. In the front room it can be somewhat noisy, making conversation difficult. All-in-all I would recommend Stoney Point as a nice place. read more

I was invited to join a group of friends for dinner and enjoy some live music at Stoney Point in Pasadena on a Friday night. This restaurant has such a fun vibe because of the staff and entertainment. I ordered their soup of the day, which was clam chowder. The chowder was so delicious and had a perfect amount of clams and potatoes in the soup. For my entree, my friend and I split their very tasty and robust lasagna. Our waiter split the dish into two plates and it was perfect. While you are eating your dinner, or at the bar, you can enjoy their pianist, Danny. He is an amazing musician, and you can definitely feel his passion for music. At around 9 pm, there were a group of singers who started singing to the sheet music they brought for Danny to play. Most of the songs were from famous, Broadway musicals and some sang classic opera songs. The group that I was with knew one of the opera singers, and asked if I could sing up there too! Luckily, I had some sheet music for Danny to play and sang "At Last," by Etta James. I had such a fun time singing up there, while Danny accompanied me and the crowd was absolutely amazing. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant because of their delicious food, amazing staff and entertainment. read more

Stoney Point Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Excellent service and delicious food! Has both outdoor and indoor seating. Accommodating to those with allergies

Great food, ambience, and especially drinks! We came before opening time, but the bar decided to start service for us anyway. Plus, the music on the weekends doesn't hurt. Highly recommend! read more

Nice little hideaway what seemed to be a local place. Quaint atmosphere with good food and live piano in the background. The meatballs were delicious. Good place to go before dealing with the traffic's of the Rose Bowl. read more

Enjoyed the entire experience. Seated in the front room listening to piano music and some singers. Enjoyable. Food and service were good. Waitstaff very attentive to all eight people in our party. Will go back. read more

This place is a throwback to the kind of places I grew up with on Long Island. It's Italian but not really. Like there's a lot of pastas and chicken dishes that involve mozzarella cheese but also French onion soup. I will say the restaurant is so charming with a full bar that pours hefty cocktails. A piano that is played Thursday through the weekend I believe and I have to shout out Adolfo our server. My wife and I attended with our 14 linty old daughter and we were treated like the lost important people in town. Our daughter was treated like a princess. The food is really good, if a little old school but that really is part of the charm. Large portions and very affordable prices. In a world where we're always chasing the latest and greatest, the trendy and the shiny, I'm so glad this place exists and I cannot wait to return. read more

Food is great here. Atmosphere is quaint. But what keeps me coming back is the service. The staff is delightful! My mom and I love coming here because we feel like princesses! Thank you! read more

I've been coming Stoney Point for 15 yrs. Wonderful food and drink. The same waiters, who are fantastic, and Kelly, the bartender is top notch. My only complaint, which I've expressed to the new owners, is the loudness of the piano, and one man who wanders in and insists on singing and playing the piano( not the hired piano man). He can't sing and plays the piano so-so. Quite a few regulars like myself have complained to no avail. Ditch the microphone, this is a really nice restaurant. read more

Service was great, food was good and just what you would expect based on other's reviews.
