With its casual table settings and open kitchen separated from the dining room by a marble-clad counter (upon which a massive bust of Michelangelo's David seems to be supervising the cooking), this appealing restaurant suggests… Read Full Editorial
Yum. What a great place. by PaulWhite via Citysearch on 7/19/2011
I just went here for the first time. I've lived in the area for awhile, but just never made it in. I'm now prepared to be their next regular.
Food was awesome. I've got a thing for Italian food in general, but was really impressed with…
No longer the same by boyt via Citysearch on 10/21/2009
Sadly, Gale's is no longer a reliable place for a good meal and attentive service. On a recent visit, our waitress was brusk and dismissive and the manager was more interested in turning tables than caring for patrons. Neither the waitress…
Good bread, but little else!! by ApJoy via Citysearch on 10/17/2009
I will only say..... the service was awful...possibly the worst I have experienced in many years.
There was a hair in my food...need I say anything more??!!!!
Stay away!!!
Great Fine Dining in Pasadena by jasonjoh via Citysearch on 2/18/2009
I had lived in Pasadena for quite some time before I knew this place existed; it can be easy to miss when you're driving down the street. My wife and I always enjoy going. I have had both the pizza and the pasta and both were excellent. I…
SUBPAR "AMERICAN" STYLE ITALIAN FOOD by singinganddancing via Citysearch on 2/10/2009
Darling Husband thought we should finally try Gayle's as we have not been there to eat since it was "Greco's." (Ahhh....Greco's...Yum!) Wow, what a completely different dining experience. The lasagna was as if they microwaved a…
Why don't they turn the lights down? by ipinch via Citysearch on 2/7/2009
My husband and I read some of the good reviews and went to try it one night. Good location, cute little place. They need to turn the lights down! It was so bright in there and we were hoping for a bit of atmosphere. It was so bright I…
Best Italian by liltamby5 via Citysearch on 1/8/2009
Great service!! and amazing food here...probably the best Italian I've had. The grilled salmon is very juicy and flavorful!
If you're in a big hurry.... by psull via Citysearch on 8/1/2008
This could be an outstanding restaurant and there's no doubt that it does very well. However, we have been rushed in and out so many times, we don't think about it anymore. One night, we had wine, salad and dinner in less than 20 minutes…
Fantastic Italian by nedryerson via Citysearch on 5/12/2008
My wife and I had an excellent meal here. We were greeted by very friendly owner ("Gale"). Food was excellent, and the atmosphere is charming. Also, prices are very reasonable. We will be returning.
...Not Coming Back by cdub824 via Citysearch on 3/27/2008
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…
One of the BEST! by globot via Citysearch on 3/21/2008
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.…
What a crushing disappointment by svtman21 via Citysearch on 12/22/2007
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…
not very impressed by osakajohn via Citysearch on 10/12/2007
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…
Gale's Restaurant - Re-reviewed by jmcpherson82 via Citysearch on 6/19/2007
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…
Only if you like Bland food and service. by victoratomic via Citysearch on 4/19/2007
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…

Heavenly Warm Olives by kdahya via Citysearch on 3/22/2007
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…
Highest Rating by Katie H via Insider Pages on 11/9/2006
Cant say anything bad about this place. Great Food, Drinks, Atmosphere, Price. Highly recommend. Great place to meet before seeing a movie in Old Town Pasadena.
PROS: Everything
CONS: Nothing
Great neighborhood restaurant by pasadenagirl via Citysearch on 7/18/2006
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…
Food is great by M A via Insider Pages on 3/15/2006
Update: I tried out the restaurant and it was very good. We were very happy with the food and service.\r

I've only had their catered food and it was fantastic. The linguine pomodoro was flavorful, good bread, and the pine nut salad…
