Old Town pasadena has tons of restaurants so it's a matter of what you like

for Italian, Mi Piace on Colorado/Fair Oaks is highly rated and very good

Burgers/comfort food.....I really like Russel's on Fair Oaks/Union

Gyu-Kaku on Green/Delacey is great Korean/Japanese BBQ (grill raw meat at table)

The Melting Pot on Colorado is always packed (fondue) and everyone I know who's eaten there loves it

I like Hurry Curry on Fair Oaks (s of Colorado) for Japanese style curry rice

Just walking around the Old Town area you'll see too many options for food.


Other parts of Pasadena:
-The Hat on Villa st has the best pastrami sandwich
-Maison Akira on Green St for Japanese/French fusion
-Lake Ave has a bunch of restaurants as well. I like The Boiling Pot on Lake/DelMar for shabu shabu as well as Burger Continental on Lake/California for middle eastern

Shopping-wise, there's nothing great in Pasadena but Old Town, Lake Ave, and Paseo mall are where most stores are at.
