The staff was great here, super attentive and friendly! We ordered the- Local Wild Mushrooms, Charred Octopus, Roasted Market Carrots, Beets, Spaghetti, Squid Ink Lumache Every dish was full of flavor! The truffle in the mushroom dish, the zesty lemon in roasted carrots (we ordered a 2nd one!) Overall, the restaurant has a nice ambiance. I highly recommend Union and I can't wait to come back! read more

First time experience was amazing! So far, this is the only Italian place I've liked out of all the places I've eaten throughout LA. Food 4/5 Pork Meatballs $21 - Best meatballs I've ever had. Full of flavor but a little too salty. Local Wild Mushrooms $24 - Standard, nothing too special. Beets $18 - Refreshing, to the point. Caramelle $27 - My favorite of all the pastas but expensive for very little pieces of pasta and a meatless dish. Full of flavor, lots of oil. Rigatoni Timballo $32 - Delicious, standard. Duck Confit Rotolo $31 - My personal dish which turned out to be my least favorite. Meatballs and Caramelle were my top favorite, secondary are the beets. Prices are not unexpected for the area but are pretty high for what is really given to you. Service 3/5 We sat outside and they were pretty slow to bring water and take our orders. Ambiance 3/5 It was a really lovely time to eat outside but the lights were broken and it was SO dark, there were no added lights to the table. It was impossible to read the menu. read more

We ate here on 05/29/2026 for the second time, and overall it was a great visit. We first dined here about a year ago; however, I feel it has dropped one star from before. However, I'm sure this restaurant will do fine, as it has been a part of Pasadena for so long. We had a reservation for 7:30pm, and we were seated in the back of the restaurant. I didn't even know they had a back room, as last time we sat in the front. All of the dishes tonight were shared, except for the drink. I had the White Lotus drink, which was very similar to an Aperol Spritz. We shared the Pork Meatballs. These were 5 out of 5. They were so tasty, dense, large and the sauce and spice were perfect. We then shared the Mushroom Gnocchi. This is exactly how it sounds; however, I felt it was definitely lacking flavor, and would give it a 4 out of 5. We then moved on to the main course, which was the Pork Chop with an Apricot Sauce and a herb salad with fruit. I would give this dish a 5 out of 5, excellent. We ended the meal with the Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble. This was kind of the disappointment of the meal. It wasn't bad; however, it was not a crumble; we didn't taste any strawberry or rhubarb. The ice cream on the top was the highlight of this dish. It would get a 2 out of 5. Our server was very nice; however, a little rushed at times, especially during the early part of our service when the restaurant was nearly to capacity. Overall, a good to great visit. I would still return again in the future. read more

Our uncle and aunt really hyped up this place and unfortunately it didn't really hit the mark. It was a wonderful experience, but not worth the 2 hour drive or money. We got the pork meatball and wild mushrooms for our appetizers. The meatball was huge and delicious, but not stand out. The mushrooms were cooked and seasoned well. The stracciatella was interesting and the different fruits complemented each other well. The mains were the most disappointing in my opinion. We got the torchetti, ravioli, fettuccine w crab, and pork chop. All the main dishes were good, but not remarkable. The torchetti felt like a normal pasta dish with a unique pasta shape. The fettuccine flavors didn't combine well and the crab and tomato flavors just felt too overwhelming. The pork chop had a good flavor but was unfortunately dry which is the usual for most pork chops. The appetizers and service was probably the best part of our meal. Our server was super helpful and patient as she walked us through the wine menu. The ambiance is typical of an italian restaurant in LA with dimmed lights and a small slightly crowded table. Overall it was fine, but we don't think we'd eat here again. read more

Union Restaurant is one of my favorite spots in Pasadena, love their pastas! In addition. I orderedthe grilled octopus. Since it's usually one of my favorite dishes, I had high expectations, but it came out a little chewy and didn't quite hit the mark. Overall experience is still great. The staff is incredibly friendly, the location right on Union Street is ideal, and there's plenty of parking across the street on a parking structure. Staff is super friendly and it's a cute place. Loved their pastas so much that I ordered a second portion of pasta to take home. Definitely will be back. read more

Good pasta but expensive for what it is. They go tapas-style, encouraging you to order multiple small dishes to share. Two people will easily run over $100 and you'll still leave hungry. The space is nice and the pasta is unique and tasty. I loved the ragu; the squid ink pasta was good but not quite as memorable. Bluefin tuna was nice too, though nothing special. Portion sizes are tiny across the board, and the wine bar, which looked appealing, lost its charm once I saw the menu prices. If you're looking to splurge on a date night, this could be your spot. But I do believe there is better pasta around Pasadena where you won't leave starving. read more

This place is ok. The service was mid and many things took a long time to come out. I wouldn't say the workers were particularly friendly. We were also served the wrong dish once. Also, my party had a reservation, but the table wasn't ready when we got there. Had to wait ~15 min. Strangely enough, they skipped our party and tried phone cling another party who was walk in before seating us. Not sure if it's because we're Asian. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Food wise, I'd say it's above average. Not the best Italian food I've had, but definitely a step above Bucca and Olive Garden. Doesn't compare at all to what I've had in Italy though. In the Pasadena area, I think Mi Piacce is a better Italian choice imo (although I'm not the biggest fan of them either). The only dish that stood out to me was the citrus salad, because of its unique composition and refreshing flavor. Ambience was a bit strange too. If you sit in the rear section, you have to walk through the kitchen and toilet. Not really a fan of that, although that more of a building issue than the restaurant's issue. read more

Union - Just some of the dishes - Italian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Michelin recognized, I was excited to try this high-rated/reviewed restaurant in Old Town. I easily secured a 4pm reservation for a party of 5 around a week in advance. We were quickly seated, even though everyone was not present. The host and server were both very patient. When all of us were finally seated and reviewing the menu, the server came to share about the restaurant. She shared that it was a place that recommended family-style ordering and that, for a party of our size, she recommended 6-7 dishes. My group and I don't often see each other, and 4/5 of us happened to want the same dish. For that reason, we "broke the news" that we would be ordering 3 drinks, 1 appetizer, 4 of the same pasta dishes each, and another pasta dish for person #5. The second we shared that it was an immediate and palpable energy shift. I thought I was imagining it at first, but then my friends confirmed it after we left the restaurant. Our server's face seemingly fell to a frown. For the rest of our time there, service was quick and short. There was also a feeling of friction when we needed to split the bill amongst us. I understand that if an actual family or couple came to the restaurant it would not only be the sensible but alluring choice to try a few of the dishes together. However, it simply didn't make sense for us. These dishes didn't end up being large portions. The pastas came out to be perfect for one person and potentially impossible to share amongst more than two folks. Furthermore, it's not like we ordered less than the recommended amount; it ended up being the 6 total! There was no loss of income, no shortchanging on the tip, etc. It was simply confusing. In terms of the food, it was honestly tasty. The Lemon Soda was refreshing, focaccia flavorful, burrata fresh, and Cacio e Pepe decadent. The thick noodles and creamy sauce were honestly very delicious. As a layperson, I think this is a lesson for restaurants to consider that their average patron may not want to feel stifled by arbitrary rules that don't negatively impact the kitchen or staff. Especially if there isn't an explicit message that it's a pre-fixed menu or omakase, we all just didn't understand what the deal was about. read more

Cute restaurant with cool vibes. Name of restaurant was very discreet, almost missed it. There are both outdoor and indoor seating. I was surprised how far back the restaurant goes. It's larger than it looks. The staff was friendly and our server was helpful and help made some recommendations. The pasta dishes were delicious and flavorful. They are shareable. I really enjoyed the Squid Ink Lumache. It was different and unique to what I'm used to. The bread & giardinere were yummy. It was a great combination. Reservations highly recommended. read more

Was searching for "Squid Ink Pasta", this is the closest restaurant that pops out. I called in to place a take-out order, the service told me will be ready in 30 mins, I asked if it could be sooner, and he changed it to 15 mins. We arrived at the store a little bit after 20 mins since I called, but the front server told me it's not ready yet. The store sign was not very obvious; we couldn't tell if it was the restaurant unless we didn't confirm with the staff. The staffs are friendly. But OMG, this squid in pasta is not worth nearly $40. First the portion, when I opened the box, only 1/4 of the box was filled. Did some eat most of the order before giving it to me? Second why is there a service charge on the bill for a take-out order? Because you are Michelin 2025 restaurant, so you are by law required to charge that? Thrid the pasta itself is so SALTY. There are at least 10 oz of salt in there. This pasta is not comparable in any way to the ones I had in NY(which is truly authentic and GOOD) If I was you, skip this place. read more

Dining at Union was supposed to be a simple, yet fun and delicious anniversary meal. Unfortunately, it ending up being a drawn out and disappointing one. Of the six dishes we ordered, only one of them impressed us. The Bib Gourmand distinction led me to believe our experience would be better than this, but the worst offense was the wait between courses. There was more than a ten minute wait between each dish with the longest being 25 minutes between our last entree and dessert. The Local Wild Mushrooms appetizer was the dish that WOWed us. After our first bite, the gloves were off and it was a race to the last bite. Neither, my girlfriend nor I have had a dish like this. It was delicious. As I'm adding photos to my review I realized there was a hair in our Cacio E Pepe. I have a buzz cut and my gf's hair is past her shoulders. The hair in the dish is not ours. This was an unforgettable anniversary dinner, but for all the wrong reasons. read more

My wife and I met up with friends at Union last night, and it ended up being one of those dinners where the food, the conversation, and the atmosphere all clicked perfectly. We were seated in the back, in the second room, which turned out to be a great spot, quiet enough to talk, cozy, and a nice change from the main dining area. I ordered the squid ink garganelli, and my wife had the tonnarelli cacio e pepe. We also shared the meatballs to start. Everything was genuinely delicious. The pasta stood out the most, the texture, the bite, the seasoning, just spot on. You can tell they take the craft seriously here. The service matched the food: attentive without hovering, friendly, and on top of everything all night. If I had one critique, it would be the bathroom. It felt a bit old and rundown compared to the rest of the restaurant. Not a dealbreaker by any means, just something that stood out. I get that upgrades are expensive, and honestly, we were there for the food, which absolutely delivered. Overall, we had a fantastic experience, and I'm already eyeing the duck for my next visit. Union is definitely a Pasadena gem, and we'll be back soon. read more

What We Ordered - Pork Meatballs - Charred Octopus - Brussels Sprouts Salad - Squid Ink Lumache - Rigatoni Timballo - Spaghetti - Olive Oil Cake This is my sister's favorite pasta place. We went for her birthday and left very surprised. Everything tasted great (maybe except for the Brussel Sprouts Salad, I was not a fan). My husband and sister's favorite pasta was the squid ink! It was light lemon cream sauce. I thought it was a bit too light for me. My favorite was the spaghetti and the charred octopus. The olive oil cake was super moist. I'm not sure if I went on an off day my first time but, this most recent visit was delicious!! read more

This place really disappointed me. It's been recommended to me as one of the best Italian places in Pasadena and I finally got to try it yesterday. The "homemade "pasta was very thick and gluey. And it didn't matter which kind of pasta we got, and we got several different kinds for our table, they were all too thick. Homemade pasta should be tender to the bite and hold sauce well but these just swam in their accompanied sauces. For example, Cacio e Pepe should stand up on the plate in a little mound but theirs just swirled around in a bowl of melted butter and oil. It was not good. You could not even wrap the pasta around your fork, it was so thick. The servers were, at least, friendly and attentive. Also, their wine choices are very nice. I won't come back, unfortunately. read more

And we finally tried this restaurant after all the hypes but oh so disappointing! Food is terrible, it comes out quick, cold and tasteless. It's more like a fast food restaurant rather enjoyable Italian restaurant. I understand people complain in reviews here about food takes time to come out but hey folks if you want fast food go to fast food restaurant. Union charges circa $40 each dish and yet delivers like fast food restaurant. Winter Citrus Salad, half orange cut with no pomegranate utterly flavorless, ordered two dish different pasta both were lacking flavor. Who is the chef here? I make better pasta at home than this chef. How is a so called Italian restaurant doesn't bring a small basket of bread and butter to table as you sit, and charges $15 for that wooow chocking! So after reading review I guess the owner/chef has changed here and the taste of dishes has become dull. Such a shame! I don't like to leave bad reviews but utterly disappointing. Not sure if we dare to give another try and spend another two hundred dollar to get disappointed! I have to think about it. read more

Everything was 10/10!! The service and every dish were amazing. One of our dishes never came out, and by the time we were finished eating, I told our waitress to cancel it if it hadn't been made yet. They ended up bringing it out anyway and even comped the dish for us and told us that they weren't going to charge us a corkage fee! def will be coming back to try other items on the menu. Ordered: Pork meatballs:10/10 not salty and paired perfectly with the sourdough Charred octopus: 10/10 cooked to perfection Kampachi crudo: 9/10 very refreshing Broccolini: 10/10 light and flavorful Tonnarelli cacio e pepe: 7.5/10 wasn't my fave.

Came here with my friend for a birthday dinner and we were soooo disappointed. Literally one of the worst restaurant experiences ever. First off, the service was incredibly rude and did not make us feel welcomed. (Our specific server, not representative of everyone else). We asked her simple questions about the menu and she responded with so much attitude. The food was terrible-- we got the arugula salad first, it was not fresh at all and damp. There was barely any lemon or cheese on it. Then we got the meatballs, fettuccini & torchetti. Every dish was so COLD. Literally took a bite and it was rock hard, including the pasta noodles, and just stale and cold. We were really shocked at the quality of the food. We brought it up to the server and they offered to re-make it for us, which we did appreciate, but they acted like we were asking for a really huge favor and was being moody about it. I normally don't complain too much to the actual restaurant but it was ridiculous. We tried the re-make of the food, and the meatballs were pretty decent as well as the torchetti. Everything else was still just okay. Overall such a below mid experience and would not recommend or come back . read more

Parking is easy since there's different parking garages nearby. You can make reservations online. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I arrived a little early and they were able to seat me. The server is nice and gave great recommendations. Pork meatballs: you get 2 giant meatballs. They were delicious. It came with bread that was so soft and warm. Would get this again. Definitely don't eat too much or you'll be full before your entrees arrive. Torchetti - pork ragu pasta: the texture of the pasta was perfect. The shape picks up lost of sauce. This was very comforting and flavorful. Squid ink: overall this tastes good, but a little salty. I wouldn't get this dish again. There's not much lobster in the dish. I would come again and try more items on the menu. read more

Downtown pasadena so parking kinda ehh. There is like 3 spots of meter parking on the same road and parking garage across the street. Black tent. Go early and no wait, the staff is friendly and chill LA vibes. Very surprised that they had a back darker area thats more intimate and dim vibey, seems like they put couples there. I get why this place was awarded a michelin, the experience is very curated. For example, they notify of some seasonal changes, recommend sharing the entrees and they time the plates coming out one by one ( which I most appreciate as a customer of places with small tables). Their menus actually great, I feel like sometimes italian is a hit or miss with the balance of sauce emulsion, flavors, and how much the pasta soaks up the sauce but the chef did a great job. Pork meatballs- huge portion, very pork ham flavored, more stuck together than a granular meatball everything paired well together, comes with small portion of grilled breadmaking filling entree. Torchetti- creamy sauce, the pasta soaked up the sauce well. There was adequate size meat bits. But the highlight was the topping of fried rosemary that added the extra touch. Squid ink- most surprising one. First off, the pasta is very unique even for its shape its bigger than normal almost like stuffed shells. The lobster had good bits (not overcooked, but with some chew). The sauce is crazy- citrus forward first taste and blends into a soft cream aftertaste with a hint of truffle. As someone that doesn't like truffle, it was a great balance of it. There is also a distinct seafoody taste. Very very unique. The pastas are overall not too heavy and a little more on the bright side of flavor. They dont really offer typical pasta options as limited menu. Nosing around, If I were to go back, id recommend the foccacia too (it was quite a big plate and came with a plate of some dip/cheese). The crudo looked fresh to photos, octopus seems more sauce heavy. Olive oil cake- the leaf is basil haha which pairs well. The berries they chose were actually great quality. But I think a slightly tart raspberry jam/puree would've worked well layered underneath to contrast the rich tasting ( kind of crumbly fluffy) cake. Overall, unique italian place. I mostly appreciated the service of a course menu especially with how separated different areas of the restaraunts were. It would help to have some bag hooks. Chill ambiance. read more

My experience for union is what I'd consider a strong 4 for an Italian restaurant, but there wasn't much to bring it out to a 5 star for me. The service was good, not the greatest, but that's fine considering that they had plenty of other tables. It just doesn't reach the max score to me as the price for dining at this establishment is something I'd factor into their service. The ambiance is bustling and busy, even on a Wednesday night, so make sure to make your reservations prior to arrival. The food itself was good. There isn't much complaint as the ingredients, the cooking, the dish had great flavors and combinations. I need to come back in the future to try their other menu items, but I just can't see myself justifying it for the price read more

Friendly staff/ wait team. Friday early evening service was smooth. Seated in back dining room, past kitchens. Nice and cool, comfortable seating, a bit dark - do we not want to see our food now? Ordered bread (comes with butter & giardiniera (veg pickle), stracciatella w/ stone fruit (peak ripeness), carrots (scrumptious!), pasta with a lamb merguez sauce (tasty, very rich & a bit too salty), cacio y pepe pasta with onsen-type egg (absolutely delicious!). Plates are meant to be shared but you could order your own since portions are not huge. Our order was split btwn 3 of us. read more

I'm going back ASAP. Food was great - but it was actually the service that blew me away. (And that almost never happens, let's be real.) The carrot dish and arugula salad were my favorite. Pastas were good and I enjoyed the herb crusted lamb. The waitress was very accommodating to a toddler we had with us and was very attuned to our experience- was very impressed by her and appreciative that we got to have her. They don't have hard alcohol - only beer and wine. Cute dining space and the outdoor seating also seems cute. read more

Broccolini Appetizer *** Thoroughly enjoyed the Torchetti. The meat sauce was chef's kiss. The Meatballs were a table favorite as well as the fish dish. Go figure! Everything else was just alright :D Real talk, the portions are individual but the dish is shareable. They have a waiting area in the back, be prepared to wait unless you have a reservations. Came for a reservation at 7:30 PM and got seated at 7:42 PM. The kitchen was definitely backed up. The waitresses were overwhelmed, but did manage to check up on us.

Seafood lobster squid ink is a must get! This is always our favorite that we dream about

Me and my girl had a birthday celebration, so I thought of bringing her to this Italian place as Pasadena has been my favorite to go in town. The two of us got in a very small chair in the corner outdoor near the waiting area. We took that time to enjoy the authentic pasta and the drink. My girl and I got the lamb flavored spaghetti, which has so much flavors and a bit gamey, but I love it because that's how authentic flavored dish tastes like. I got a squid ink one, which comes with a couple pieces of truffles, and the apaga is a bit chewy, but that's how authentic Italian pasta is, it's just "authente" so I took my time to savor it. I personally feel that this is a cute place to come back for big group next time, as I still wanna try, added dishes that are on their menu . also, they have paid parking structure right across the stress. But you can also park at a public oarking 1.5 block away $1 for 2 hours. read more

I always enjoy Union because their pastas are my favorite, served al dente. The squid ink is always my go to. You truly can't go wrong with any choice as they're all delicious. There are still may more menu items I need to try. This last time I went, I sat in the back area which was cute and comfortable. It's nice that they have expanded! Our server was incredibly kind, especially when our pasta came out later than expected, although my friend and I didn't mind at all since we were catching up. I would recommend making a reservation as it can get busy at times. Parking is plentiful around as there are street and structure options, but prices will vary. read more

Union definitely lives up to the hype. My go-to spot if I'm craving Italian food! Everything is always super fresh and you can taste the quality in each dish. I've only ate in the outdoor seating area, but it's never been a problem for my husband and I. I recommend making reservations if you're wanting to dine inside! We usually always order the Charred Octopus and Wild Mushrooms for appetizers. The octopus is always cooked perfect and the salad that comes with it is a nice refreshing pairing. The mushrooms are more of a rich and dense dish that's super savory. For pasta dishes we usually order the Spaghetti and then last time we ordered the Rigatoni Timballo for the first time and we both enjoyed it a lot! You'll love the Rigatoni Timballo if you're a fan of eggplant. If you're wanting great Italian food and you're in the area I highly recommend Union! read more

You can tell the menu is very seasonal from salad ingredients like persimmon and pear. So we ordered the pear salad. But that sadly became a mistake, since I'm pretty sure I can make better salad without the bitter leaves, stingy cheese and bland sauce. Absolutely loved the duck pasta. Rich but not overwhelming tomato sauce with loads of duck meat tucked between layers of noodles with pickled onions adding both the flavor and the presentation. But the back room is pretty fishy... maybe because everyone is ordering lobster pasta? Worth trying the lobster pasta if you are really into lobster...ultimately, I won't get it again. read more

- dimly lit settings are always so nice but i can't take photos not trying to flash the entire restaurant - now the meatballs...top tier i love that they make the seasoning of the meatball a tad spicy i think it pairs well with the light tomato sauce. they give bread on the side but it's always too hard for me - i will forever come just to order the squid ink lumache !! very yum dish, handmade squid ink pasta in a lemon fennel kind of sauce with big chunks of lobster which for the price i would say is well worth it :) - the cacio e pepe was just okay to me the sauce didn't seem well emulsified so it felt a bit watery to me - the torchetti was okay as well, i felt like it was missing a bang to it - in terms of consistency, the pastas are fairly al dente if anything to some could be a bit too hard, but for me it was perfect! however the torchetti i find is always really soft/mushy and maybe texturally doesn't resonate with me as much given there's ricotta - service here has always been friendly, the food does take some time to come especially on a packed dinner night. however if you are sat in the corner it is really hard to get the waiters attention read more
