About Union Pasadena
Our Story
Located in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, Union is a lively yet intimate neighborhood Italian restaurant and wine bar offering a deeply personal, seasonally Californian interpretation of Northern Italian cuisine.
Founded by Marie Petulla, Union reflects her vision of heartfelt hospitality and a menu rooted in simplicity, seasonality, and community. At the helm of the kitchen, Chef Andrew Mercado brings that vision to life with rustic, elegant dishes crafted from California’s best local ingredients.
The wine program, curated by Wine Director Stefanie Marshall, highlights Italian and Californian producers with a focus on sustainability, small production, and honest expression - wines meant to be shared, savored, and celebrated.
Together with General Manager Logan Bates, the Union team creates a space where great food, thoughtful wine, and genuine hospitality come together - welcoming guests like family, and inviting them to linger just a little longer.
