It was the most horrifying and upsetting restaurant experience ever. We were in Pasadena for a conference and were told that Old Town Pasadena was very pleasant. Villa Sorriso from outside appearances had a great ambiance, but this was the worst restaurant I have ever been to. The waiter was extremely rude, disorganized, and appeared as though he may have... more

I have been to Villa Sorriso on several different occassions and my experiences vary from time to time. I actually enjoy going there at night when it turns into a club/bar, especially when it is warm. The crowd is good as is the music. In terms of dining at VS, thats a different story. My company had a party there... more

I celebrated my birthday with a group of friends at Villa Sorriso but I was left with a bad impression. The menu offered a variety of choices. The food and drinks were good. The waiters were attentive. We stayed for the dancing, until closing. When the dancing ended, the security guards were extremely rude to our group. My husband was... more

In the past few months I have been able to dine at Villa Sorriso twice and both times I was satified with the food and drinks. Although the experience may lean toward the expensive side, I have never felt like the bill was disportionate to the meal. I have espeically enjoyed the fish dishes as well as the menu specials.... more

Nice open area, with a patio. Lots of upscale diners, many brought their babies along, some of whom announced their presence. Crab and shrimp cakes were very tasty but served cool. The spinach salad with panchetta, gorgonzola, pear was very light on the panchetta. more
