About this business
Gale's Restaurant is a totally local spot. It offers remarkably solid Northern Italian fare just down the road from all the hubbub. Couples, families and friends that seem to have just finished a day outdoors snuggle among the brick walls and small marble tables, drinking wine from elegant Brighton goblets. Start it off with a Burrata Salad or a steamed artichoke and then move on to the country-style Tuscan steak or one of the house made ravioli specials. For dessert, don't miss the Tiramisu or the Coconut Cake which is unco... read more

...Not Coming Back – My friend and I decided to go to Gale's after the RAVE reviews, and how its always so packed whenever we drive by on the weekends. We were excited to taste the Italian food, as we are both from a part of New York known for it's spectacular Italian. We sat down and I was surprised to find one of my favorite combos- salmon with risotto and artichoke- on the menu. Of course I had to order that, and my friend ordered the chicken parm. We waited a while for our food and when it came out... I almost left right... read more

90 Five Star Reviews and one sour apple. Gales is Great.... they must have had a head ache... from a bad home life!
One of the BEST! – I went here last Friday after a recommendation from a friend in Chicago! I found the location and parking to be perfect, not to far out of the way but this meant easy parking and no long walks. I took my 2 daughters and a friend of theirs. 13 and 16 years olds plus me and I'm a foodeeee! Mussels AWESOME, Steak AWESOME, Clams Linguine AWESOME, Pizza AWESOME, Ravioli AWESOME. Service AWESOME and the we only waited 15 minutes for our table on a Friday night. Priced very fair and felt comfortable in busy surro... read more
What a crushing disappointment – I'll come right out and say it, I went to Gale's for pizza and nothing else. I live in Pasadena and had been hearing rave reviews about Gale's for years, especially the pizza, so I grabbed my girlfriend and off we went. Service was attentive, decor was average, location on Fair Oaks is average, not the best spot, not the worst. We ordered quickly and I sat there fidgeting, waiting for our "awesome" pizza to arrive. When it did, one glance at it and I was worried. I believe we got a Roma chees... read more
not very impressed – Our first trip to Gale's. My partner is very fond of Brighton, so she suggested we go. She loved the steamed artichoke and risotto, as well as drinking our wine out of the Brighton goblet. I didn't enjoy my chicken piccata (lemon and caper sauce too strong) or the roasted olives (complete with seeds) very much. Corkage has gone up to $10. I had the spaghetti side with my chicken and ordered it "al dente" (firm) and it came horribly undercooked. I sent it back and it was returned better but still undercoo... read more
Gale's Restaurant - Re-reviewed – I returned to Gale's for a birthday party and was quite pleased with the overall experience hence my re-write of my review. The service was attentive and quick. I was very pleased with the fact that the host came over to make sure our party was happy. I guess it pays to give a place a second chance
Only if you like Bland food and service. – Well at the spur of the moment two friends and I decided to try Gales out. apon entering we were a bit lost as to where to meet the hostess who we then spotted behind the counter eating which just looked bad. We were then seated by our waitress who was a bit rude but we tried to over look that. Well the food was very tasteless, my Raviolis were cold and a bit tuff, friends recommended pasta was very bland and my other friends Chicken cutlet in her words "tasted like a frozen dinner"... read more
One of the best Italian restaurants in Pasadena. – Great southern Italian food and great service. Small cozy location off the strip. galesrestaurant dot com
Heavenly Warm Olives – A friend of mine had recommended this place for a while, but I never got around to trying it. Boy, was I missing out! The service was wonderful and the food was perfectly tasty. There were only two of us for dinner that night, but we sure had a great time with the Warm Olives to start (which were full bodied and delicious), a Garlic Mushroom Pizza as our meal and a Hot Berry Crumble Dessert with Vanilla Gelato to top it off. We had initially intended on making it a small meal night, but we couldn't hel... read more
Great neighborhood restaurant – We have been coming to Gale's since it opened several years ago. It was great then and every year it just seems to get a little better. Friendly service, good bar and good food. The owners are always around, and it shows both in the atmosphere of the restaurant and the consistent quality of the food. Pizzas are great, thin crusted numbers. They also serve buratta, a wonderfully creamy mozarella. They have a specials menu that rotates daily - anything off there is reliably good. This place is s... read more
