Yum. What a great place. by PaulWhite on 7/19/2011 via Citysearch
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 on 10/21/2009 via Citysearch
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 on 10/17/2009 via Citysearch
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 on 2/18/2009 via Citysearch
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 on 2/10/2009 via Citysearch
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 on 2/7/2009 via Citysearch
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 on 1/8/2009 via Citysearch
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 on 8/1/2008 via Citysearch
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 on 5/12/2008 via Citysearch
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 on 3/27/2008 via Citysearch
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 on 3/21/2008 via Citysearch
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 on 12/22/2007 via Citysearch
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 on 10/12/2007 via Citysearch
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 on 6/19/2007 via Citysearch
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 on 4/19/2007 via Citysearch
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 on 3/22/2007 via Citysearch
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…

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 on 7/18/2006 via Citysearch
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 on 3/15/2006 via Insider Pages
Update: I tried out the restaurant and it was very good. We were very happy with the food and service.\r \r I've only had their catered food and it was fantastic. The linguine pomodoro was flavorful, good bread, and the pine nut salad…
