This quaint Pasadena location, slightly off the beaten path, was originally a livery stable, and it has become a destination spot for Angelenos serious about Italian food. Now, its charming interior is an intimate mustard-walled dining room filled with art, posters, cookbook-filled bookshelves, and cozy linen-clad tables. Featuring the culinary traditions of a small area in northern Italy, from which the restaurant's name is derived---a region known for pasta, seafood, hearty, rustic flavors and Austro-Hungarian influences---Tre Venezie's menu is refreshingly different from any other Italian restaurant in L.A. Examples of the intriguing starters and pastas include honey-and-balsamic vinegar-marinated venison, thinly sliced, on a bed of greens with sweet-and-sour pears; foie gras with green tomato compote; cuttlefish; black ink ravioli filled with saffron-inflected halibut and topped with red beet sauce; and chestnut tagliatelle with lobster and mushrooms in a duck reduction sauce. Among entrées, you'll find pan-roasted smoked pork chop with a delicate Gorgonzola sauce, and seared ahi with a green peppercorn-orange sauce. For dessert, try the crema del gondoliere, Venetian-style cooked cream flavored with caramelized sugar and toasted ground almonds. The wine list features a good selection of both Italian and California labels.
