(Gerry Furth-Sides) Family and good food makes every holiday memorable, especially when reservations at our following favorite restaurants make it easy, festive and delicious for the entire family especially with the welcoming, professional service to each and every guest.

CELESTINO RISTORANTE

At Pasadena’s Celestino Ristorante, Executive Chef Calogero Drago’s  chooses his Italian holiday menu from generations of family recipes featuring local, seasonal ingredients.

Start with a sumptuous order of Zuppetta di Cozze e Vongole Pepate, mussels and clams in a delicate tomato broth with black pepper

Entrees include pasta of course, such as our favorite Pappardelle con Fagiano e Morelle, a gamey, sophisticated fettuccine dish with pheasant and morel mushrooms.  The attentive staff can help with a wine pairing or a cocktail from the bar.

Celebrate at the historic, inviting The Raymond 1886  with Executive Chef Tim Guiltinan’s special Father’s Day Brunch.

Breakfast Burrito is only one of the tempting dishes, filled with pork belly, eggs, bell pepper, onion and cheddar cheese and smothered in house enchilada sauce.

Caution:  The 1886 Bar’s master mixologists make mid-morning cocktails so inviting it could make a meal.  We know.   seasonally-infused Bloody Mary pictured above tells the story.
