13 Best Italian Restaurants in Thousand Oaks

“It's a great location and very spacious. The service was super friendly. Pizza tasted fresh and loved the taste of it!“

“Whenever we eat some hearty pasta we always go to Buca. This location has good service and very good pasta ! The portions here are “family size” so everything is shareable. A small feeds 3-4 and a large feeds 5-6. The chicken entrees usually come with 3 or 5 pieces of chicken. We ordered the small chicken saltimbocca. It came with 3 pieces or chicken and we cut them in half to feed 5 people. We had 1 half left over..the saltimbocca is chicken with prosciutto on top with lemon and capers and lemon sauce on top. The sauce was great the prosciutto gives the chicken an extra flavor kick. We then got the small penne San Remo (always a favorite). It is penne pasta with a garlic cream sauce and has chicken, peas, artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. We also got the small apple Gorgonzola salad which is excellent! It has fresh apples and a vinaigrette dressing that pairs perfectly. Lastly we got a single meatball. They are big and we cut it up to everyone could have a piece. We order here frequently for catering events as well as dine in and takeout.“

“Hands down the best pizza in Thousand Oaks! The staff is fantastic and it smells great when you walk in! Smells like an old school pizzeria! It's clean and inviting, they welcome you like family! I ordered a large pie with pepperoni, sausage and meatballs, a large antipasto & cannolis! All extremely delicious, portions are generous! Will definitely recommend & will absolutely come back! Gracci Mille!“

“We used to go to the location in Encino which really went downhill over the years and is now understandably closed. We were so happy to find out that this is the original location, and it is worth the drive. The bread rolls are to die for! So yummy! My personal favorite is the mushroom salad. The small is quite large and plenty for 2 people. The size is true of all of their salads. We also had a chicken parm sandwich that we enjoyed. We were a little disappointed with the pizza. It was pretty greasy so we did not come close to finishing it (one slice and done) and honestly threw what was left out. The restaurant is huge, so lots of seating. The staff is super nice. FYI, surprisingly for a pizza restaurant, they have a huge, full-page vegan menu. Go and enjoy, just try not to fill up on the rolls before your meal shows up. LOL“

“It is very good authentic Italian food. I’ve had a couple of meals here and they both tasted great. However, they don’t have a very large menu and there were only a few things on the menu that sounded good. It’s also one of the few places I go where none of the appetizers sound too appetizing. It’s not that I think the food will taste bad, it just doesn’t excite me and make me interested in ordering it. The staff is very attentive and helpful. It’s a great restaurant, I just wish they had more things in line with my tastes.“

“best pizza at the oaks mall“

“I have had the opportunity to eat here a number of times since the current owners took over and everything from the service to the delicious pizza have been excellent...Great fresh brewed Italian style Lattes as well...this is a must visit place to put on your radar.“

“Wanted some tasty food at a good price for my daughter and I. The server was very positive and enthusiastic, the food was really good. Had an alfredo dish and a carbonara dish after a bunch of salad... loved it. To top or off, for $6, we got a spaghetti dish to go. Though to beat.“

“I ordered two thin margarita pizzas and chicken wings for my son’s sleepover and it was a big smash hit. “He’s a genius “ they said. The pizza is super thin, with exotic pizzas like Bel Air or Getty pizza. Great pasta, salad and beer and wine too. Casual and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend. Family owned.
