Great Greek restaurant in old town pasadena on the second floor of an cool older brick building. Patio and new bathrooms are great. Food is outstanding. A staple for me

I love the stuffed butternut squash , it's delicious and something you can't easily do at home. It's vegetarian - on occasion I order grilled salmon with it. It's a perfect dinner & lunch the next day!

One of the best restaurants in Pasadena, and not as expensive as many nearby. Great outdoor patio up above the alleyway. Cocktails are good while you wait for a table. Food as good as Greece!

Rachel Rebecca

The service here was really nice and friendly , and they were very nice to me and my friend I had the vegetarian plate here, and that was quite delicious and their drink, laPalma was good

VEEV Spirits

Our favorite bar in Old Town Pasadena is hands down Cafe Santorini. They make a killer VEEV Cucumber Basil Gimlet and the rooftop patio is not to be missed!

Such a beautiful place with European ambiance. All foods we’ve ordered was tasty. I liked my curry clam and shrimp risotto dish a-lot.

Open dining is a must try, the days special, New York steak did not disappoint, staff was really helpful but not to the point of being obtrusive.

Janice Jiang

They have really good white sangria and martinis . Their red curry risotto is delicious. It's only on their dinner menu , but you can still request it during lunch service.

Cafe Santorini has a nice ambiance. Inside the city but has secret place . Food is delicious, I recommend lentil soup and Pizza Santorini...

Casey Taylor

The Eggplant Spread and Caprese salad were amazing as was the house bread ! Highly recommend for lunch and eating outside.

Erica Gutierrez

Lamb , clam linguini , calamari , salmon , pizza , kebabs .... everything!

Angel

Pastas are pretty tasty. Kefta kabob is super tender and juicy, but the tzaziki is small and watery. Moussaka is not that great, it was all beef ragou, needed more pureed potatoes and bechamel sauce .

Jose S. Castro

Good wine selección, great outdoor dining . Great lamb .

M M

Stuffed butternut squash is to die for. Sometimes I add grilled salmon for a non vegetarian meal . Eat half (it's huge) and have lunch for tomorrow

Lea Dessi-Olive

Nice decor, great food. Gluten free friendly but they don't have typical substitutes (no gf pizza , pasta etc)

Rachel Sheppard

Pretty fancy , but the outdoor seating was lovely and I enjoyed my Greek salad !

Jen Park

Attentive staff , good service , nice ambiance, good seasoned bread and pasta/risotto made fresh to order!

Chris Li

Farfalle con Pollo is fantastic! If they have a special that day, GO FOR IT. It's generally a cut of steak of some sort that isn't offered on the menu.

Dino Beltran

Come and check out their awesome cocktails !!!

Ying S

Ask for patio seating . Lighting adds ambience at night. Pergola provides shade in the day.

Casey Taylor

Outdoor seating , atmosphere, good appetizers

Food is amazing. Sitting on the patio is a must. Can't go wrong here.

Connie Chiu

Lamb shank is probably the best dish here. Came on Mother's Day and it was slammed so service was subpar :((

Brett WH

A great place for a drinking lunch on the patio . Hang out for a couple hours, have some cocktails . Take it easy.

Steph

Scallop risotto , sea bass or ribeye . You can't go wrong with any of those choices!

Thomas Guibas

Hallumi app was delicious. Halibut dinner was a winning dish!

Keith Havemann

The lamb souvlaki is delicous Outdoor patio dining on the 2nd floor Splendid this time of year

Fish and wine selections are excellent

Everything was delicious. Sit outside if you can.

Rexbabyandkids Penaranda

Entrance to the cafe might be hard to find, it's in the alley
