"Longtime Drago Centro chef Ian Gresik and wife Nancy now run a seasonal, farm-to-table restaurant called The Arbour in Pasadena. The space is true to the building’s name, with landscaping along South Lake Avenue, and plant-life throughout. The Arbour makes lively pasta on the premises, fueling plates like linguine and Carlsbad clams ($18). More than a dozen plump Manila clams raised using eco-friendly aquaculture join beautifully chewy pasta in a bright sauce crafted with garlic, butter, white wine, a tiny bit of cream, red chile foam, and herbs." - Joshua Lurie
