Rechercher un restaurant du Guide MICHELIN

This original, chef-driven restaurant is truly something of note, set amidst quaint brick buildings near Old Pasadena. The design is simple: boxy with high ceilings, red brick and mason jars everywhere. Make reservations or go early, as Union’s devoted fans ensure the tables are full soon after opening.

As a result of it being a local treasure, diners can expect top-notch ingredients handled with care—like a sweet, summery strawberry salad balanced by an intense and savory arugula pesto. Carb-loading has never been more gratifying, as the kitchen kneads, extrudes and slices its way to pasta excellence. Saffron linguine arrives coated with an enticing sauce of sundried tomatoes, breadcrumbs and anchovies for a brightly flavored and well-textured dish.
