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

Hidden Gem! – This is, by far, one of Pasadena's best restaurants. It's a little off the beaten path (a welcome change from the Old Town crowds) and offers consistant, high-quality food and service. Pay them a visit, you won't be disappointed.
The Best Restaurant in the area! – The restaurant is cozy and warm with a boutique feel about it. Its high class without being pretentious. The owner, Gale, is warm and friendly and truly cares about the comfort of her guests. The chef, I found out is from Emilia-Romagna, a region in Northern Italy; this is truly present in the food on the menu, especial in the dinner specials. Its as authentic as youll find. For Lunch, I recommend the Pizza Special, which an individual pizza and salad. I usually go for the goat cheese and p... read more
Stephanie – I am mystified that anyone would have a problem with this restaurant. Yes, it's small, but that's what makes it great - a phenomenal emphasis on ingredients and perfect service. I was there on a night when Gale was there herself - she is definitely on top of her restaurant! If you want an intimate restaurant experience focused on providing its customers with the freshest food, innovative wines and attentive service -without pretention (unique in LA) - then visit Gale's. You WON'T be disappointed. Try her pizza - ... read more
amazing – i rarely eat out, and when i do, i really like to treat myself to an uncommonly delicious meal. After eating Gale's food for the first time, I must say that I have truley found a jem in the greater LA area. The penne pasta was out of this world!!! I will definitely be re-visiting this lovely place soon.
GALES? – I ate at this restaurant based on all of the high rankings and compliments. Maybe I was expecting great food? What are people thinking giving this place all of the praise. Do these people eat out anywhere else? what is the barometer for them? Gales was not that great. The seatsarewaytoclosetogether. the bread was the best part of the meal. How sad is it that first thing you eat is the best? It all went downhill from there. This restaurant is your basic run of the mill italian place. I am convinced Gale and/or her fr... read more
A quality place that you can frequent – Been to Gale's a few times now, and we still have not had any negative experiences yet. Everything they did is of high quality and at reasonable prices. This is a place that you can frequent. Whether is for a pizza & salad dinner or a fancy meal, you would not be disappointed. Gale and Renee, as owners, are as friendly as they come. Tables are a little too close to each other, but somehow they are not that significant once you are occupied with the delicious food.
dukepoope the dope – As locals, many of us morned Greco's move and shift towards the upscale from being our beloved neighborhood bistro. Imagine our delight when we finally broke down and showed up for a meal at Gale's! The food was far more handily prepared, the pizza's were without peer, and the cuisine in general was much more varied, inventive and succulent. Wow! We knew we had to have died and gone to heaven! I can only say Mr. Dukepoope needs to get a life as well as a dictionary! That is pretentiousness and you spell ... read more
Excellent – Delusional, that's all I have to say about the peson who made the last review. They must have caught the restaurant on an off night because I have never had an experience like that. The many times I've been to Gales, they've truly made me feel like family. Gale and her husband Renee, always check on our table to make sure we are well taken care of. The food is great, especially the chicken picatta. This is what Greco's should have been!Make sure to make reservations however as they fill up fast on the weekends.
Gale's Restaurant – You can never tire of the menu at Gales as there are daily special menus that are always a nice surprise, like the halibut 3 inches thick was so delicate, succulent, yet cooked through, and covered with a touch of lemon-caper sauce. The veal marsala served with asparagus and potatoes was also mouth watering. The waiter excitedly stated "I'll be happy to find out for you" and he truly was!! They used elegent wine glasses with silver stems. At first glance it looks like there is limited parking but if you d... read more
