We stopped by for dinner one night since we were in the area and decided to try it out.  We ordered a bunch of things for more variety and ended up super full. The presentation and service was very good but the food was just decent.  My favorite dish was the steak.

I came here with some girlfriends to grab dessert during our recent shopping trip. I'm not a huge fan of The Cheesecake Factory but I love their desserts! The avocado egg rolls were pretty good too! My favorite was the banana cream cheesecake. The red velvet was surprisingly very good, but the pineapple upside-down cheesecake was a bit too sweet.

I came to Mi Piace with a couple of gfs to grab lunch prior to shopping in Pasadena. We've been coming here for years and we would always order the exact same things. Creatures of habit I guess. Anyways, this place never disappoints. The service was a bit slow but they are always so packed so it's expected.

The first time I came here I was not impressed. Our lamb was overcooked, our steak was mediocre, and everything else was okay. I was hesitant on coming back but I’m sure glad I did because it was a complete 180! I loved everything the second time around, especially the short ribs!
