"I came here with 4 friends on a Friday night and it wasn't crowded. I made a phone reservation a few days ago. We ordered Margherita Pizza and 3 pasta dishes of the following: Spaghettini Con Anatra (homemade spaghettini with ducks Ragu sauce), Spaghetti Alla Carbonara Romana (spaghetti with pork bakery) Fetuccine Al Funghi (hand cut egg noodles w/ Portobella porcini mushrooms). I was glad my friends and I shared all pasta dishes to try out a few bites of everyone. I love her pasta hand being made. Each pasta is also al dente (small company). The duck ragu Pasta dish was quite light in taste, but still tasteful with the duck. The mushrooms were juicy and fresh and the egg noodles were wonderful. The Carbonara dish was quite rich and creamy in taste, but its crispy bacon and tasty flavor balanced out the richness of the cheese. The pizza was also delicious with the thin crust and the wood fire. It was juicy of tomato cheese. The Pesto sauce was also a nice additional touch to the pizza. I tried her nectarin-kissle moons for Gelato this time. Nectarin tasted like the fruit and it was refreshing. The almond was pretty crazy. I also recommend her Focaccia bread and pistachio angelato. I was sad that they didn't have a pistachio angelato this time, because I usually got it when I visited Bulgarini in recent times. As someone who loves pistachios, her pistachio angelato is one of the best I tasted in LA."

"Wonderful vegan, organic meals at unbelievable prices; you'll leave full and happy (and so will your wallet). A wide selection of supplements, and solid nutritional advice, to keep you in good health. Fresh organic produce, good bulk bins, and a great stock of herbs and spices will help you get all the ingredients you need for your favorite fall recipies, now that the weather is turning, whether you want to make oven roasted veggies or a hearty stew. And where else can you be sure of finding gluten free, vegan mac n cheese, xylitol, agave syrup, more than 10 different flavors of kombucha, quantities of different healthy tea (caffeinated and herbal), Dr. Bronners in several different scents, ayurvedic toothpaste, etc etc? Does he have everything? No. This isn't Wal-Mart or Costco. But if there's a vegan grocery item that he doesn't have in stock, ask; he may be able to order it for you. And it's a great place for getting healthier. Besides the super meals, and groceries, John carries an extensive stock of supplements, and herbs for both cooking and wellness. He also is an expert in herbal medicine. So whether you want to lower your blood pressure, get rid of allergies, a cold, or the flu, lose weight, or just improve your energy level; ask John, and he won't steer you wrong. If you're looking for vegan organic meals at a great bargain, head up to Altadena, and enjoy air that is a good bit cleaner than down in LA's concrete canyons, and an atmosphere that will make you feel like you just found a time machine. It's part of an alternate universe; enjoy it while it's here. And if you're not quite sure how to find it, even with Google maps, it's on Lake between Calaveras and Mendocino. If you're coming from the direction of Pasadena, it's past Elliot school (on the other side of Lake), and just past the post office. Updated from previous review on 2019-09-10"
