About Union

Watch on TikTok

Chef Bruce Kalman's Pasadena institution holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand year after year for good reason: Union delivers Italian-Californian cooking at a price point that feels almost unfair for the quality. The housemade pastas are the headliners — precise, seasonal, and technically excellent — while the roasted chicken and vegetable sides show the same care. A decade in, Union remains the standard against which all other Pasadena restaurants are measured.
