Dining room at Villa Sorriso, Pasadena, CASorriso fans have more to smile about at Villa Sorriso, the restaurant from Wok n Roll and Sorriso owners Jack and Karen Huang. Located in the former Clearwater Seafood site in Pasadena's Old Town district, Villa Sorriso's private and public dining areas meander around both sides of an open courtyard, where cabana-seated customers gather around the firepit to enjoy dinner or cocktails with a DJ. Upstairs, the VIP lounge is, indeed, a place to lounge, with its assortment of plasma-screen TV's and low-slung seating. The menu runs the gamut of standard Italian fare listing items such as asparagus and three-cheese lasagna, and linguini frutti di mare.

I recently visited the restaurant and it’s the most horrible experience in my life. Although we had reservation both the table and food was an incredibly long wait. In addition they sat us in a completely different section than we had been promised to have when I made the reservations. They continued to forget our drinks and every time we reminded the staff they gave us a malicious response. Towards the end of evening as it was getting chilly I asked the manager to turn on the heating lamp because the busboy turned it off while he was cleaning our table. He refused. In an error in judgment, we decided to stay for the birthday girl. Since the restaurant turns into a club the staff began removing our chairs from the table before we finished our desserts and drinks. This is ultimately the worse experience ever!
