| Trattoria Neapolis restaurant on Lake Ave |
Pasadena is finally getting some recognition from the rest of Southern California for it's burgeoning restaurant scene. And there's one underlying theme for this renaissance: good food. That's it. As some of you remember there was buzz before regarding Pasadena's restaurant scene, highlighted by Jennifer Lopez's Madres and Kevin Costner's Twin Palms. Both have since been shuttered. I guess diners finally realized that celebrities and a "scene" don't make a restaurant - great chefs and great food does.
Pasadena's geography also makes the city an opportune locale. As the gateway for the San Gabriel Valley and it's heavy Asian cuisine influence, proximity to downtown LA and it's growing residential population and hipster-yuppie-fication of neighboring Highland Park and Eagle Rock can only make Pasadena's dining scene lively and exciting for years to come.
