"Union restaurant opened in 2014 and continues to prepare some of the best plates of pasta in town. Twisty torchetti pasta comes topped with a spicy Calabrese pork ragu, while the squid ink lumache plays well with Maine lobster and truffle butter. These standards and more have been satisfying Pasadena pasta-goers for a decade in its airy, high-ceilinged dining room. Don’t sleep on the highly curated wine list here, either." - Mona Holmes
