We visited this restaurant about a year ago and could not wait to go back, we were not disappointed. Enjoyed our meal and the service. We shared a pasta dish and a fish dish, both were very nice. Had the arugula salad as a starter, yummy! And topped it off with the warm apple crumble with ice cream. Enjoy! More

Stopped by Villa Sorriso on Colorado Blvd. in Old Town Pasadena for Happy Hour. Being a Sunday afternoon the place was not to full. We sat outside at the bar side of the complex.

When we made the reservation, we called twice to confirm that the buffet would include various choices of bread. All that was... More

I was really impressed with their set up, but that's about it. They need to stop hiring chefs from the street. The food was disgusting. I had the chicken piccatta; it was more like rubber with no seasoning. And the service could have been better. I don't know how they stay in business. Do yourself a favor and get yourself... More

okay for a quick martini if the bartender doesn't ignore you. More

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Villa Sorriso. The food was fantastic and our guests really enjoyed the evening spent at this restaurant.

People kept commenting on how nice the... More
