Tarantino’s on Green Street has become one of our go-to spots in Pasadena. The Works pizza was spot on: crispy crust with a generous layer of pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, olives, onions, and peppers. Everything was balanced and hearty, and the crust had just the right bite to hold it all together. The Quinceñera pasta is still the dish I keep coming back for: creamy, rich, with tender chicken, mushrooms, and jalapeños that give just the right kick. We’ve nearly worked our way through the pasta menu, but this one is easily my favorite.
Service is always excellent, and our waiter was especially friendly and gave great recommendations. The dining room is narrow, casual, and usually busy, but it has that old-school charm with photos covering the walls that make it feel warm and familiar. Parking can be a little tricky with the one-way streets on Green and Hudson, so it’s worth planning ahead.
Tarantino’s continues to be a spot that delivers consistently great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a reason we keep coming back.
