Whoever said this is like Olive Garden is not paying attention. There is a daily printed menu of specials including flowers stuffed with mozzarella, Italian sausage made locally and fresh mozzarella pizza. As we walked form th (wonderful) Marriott Courtyard (6 blocks) every erastaurant was empty except Gale's which was packed. Marvelous! more

We have been here before and decided to show up early and sit in the bar for a bit before dinner. This was an excellent idea because we enjoyed the experience and friendliness of the bartender.

Dishes are just out of this world! I strongly suggest visiting this establishment more

I live in Pasadena and this is one of my very favorite places! It is consistantly excellent, both the food and service, and my "go-to" when someone asks me to recommend a place, or when I have to take someone out and I need a safe bet! The prices are reasonable, I would almost say cheap, for the quality. Plus... more
