“Talk about authentic Italian deserts! I spent more on desert than dinner. The food - service - atmosphere and entertainment were all amazing. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Amazingly unique and delicious food, fun atmosphere and wonderful service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“yeah this place was pretty great. honestly we kept going back multiple times on our trip becuase we couldnt get enough of the gnocchi, it was soft and melt in your mouth but still had texture somehow. the outdoor seating area has that casual vibe, it never felt super rushed or anything like that, the service was friendly which ALOT of fancy places mess up in my experiance you walk in and feel judged. i am DEFINATELY going back next time im in town even if its totally out of the way for me its worth the drive.“

“great food and service intimate atmosphere“

“Great service and food was good“

“Love this wonderful place where I can meet friends and enjoy a glass of wine and an awesome cheese platter.“

“Generous and delicious sandwiches with the best meats, cheeses, bread, meatballs, and sauce. A fine selection of cheeses, meats antipasto in the deli-case, cookies to canned goods on the dried goods shelves, frozen tiramisu to lasagne in the freezer case. Busy, bustling, yet cozy and friendly. Love everything about our favorite deli!“

“The best Pizza in town! I highly recommend!“

“A little heavy with the salt on the Mahi Mahi selection but overall excellent evening. Just as they handled a large party for us a few months ago, their attention to our needs was most appreciated. Unlike many restaurants, we never had to ask for water.“

“So far the best authentic Italian pizza I have had in 10 years living in USA. And I am Italian so that says enough! Everything was perfect. High quality food. Forza ragazzi 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹“

“I was starting to miss the flavors of home after weeks of eating American food. Luckily, my friend @Massimiliano Russomanno knew just the place to take me. Antonio Sessa's Made in Italy was a delightful surprise. Every bite transported me back to Italy. The food was prepared with such care and passion that it was clear this Italian Chef had a truly deep love for our cuisine. If you're craving authentic Italian food, I highly recommend giving this place a try 🥰🥰👍🏻🫶🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“What an incredible hidden gem! We were craving Italian food and decided to check out Al Italiano. Walked in on a Tuesday night a little before closing. Eddie and the owner Robert greeted us warmly. The menu has some great options and we were indecisive what to order. Our waiter Eddie is a first class professional and answered all our questions with patience and in details. His recommendations were amazing. We ordered Eggplant Parmesan, Veal Piccata, Children’s cheese pizza, Salumiere pizza and their homemade Tiramisu. Everything was excellent and so tasty. The whole experience at Al Italiano was outstanding and unforgettable. Robert is a great business owner who actually cares and treats you like family. His whole staff is very respectful and helpful. The ambiance is very Italian and welcoming. We found a true gem! Thank you Robert, Eddie and staff! We will be back soon!“

“Wonderful! Beautiful setting!Relaxing atmosphere! Great service!“

“This restaurant surprised me, fun vibrant atmosphere suitable for adults... not for little kids. Full bar, experienced bartenders who have been working here for years. Food was delicious and well thought out. Parking was easy and plentiful.“

“Friendly people, amazing food. Very nice to their musicians. 🙏🎶“

“Good food and nice people.“

“Came to Simi Valley for work. Always struggle to find good food. I stopped in with my mother on our last evening here... so glad I did. Place is cute, has authentic Italian items for purchase (my mom bought olive oil and marinara sauce) she had a salad and I had the Caprese Salad sandwich. Did not disappoint. I am definitely coming back!“

“Miguel our head waiter was excellent. The rest of the staff were also very nice and attentive. My party ran a little late, but everything was under control because Miguel helped us. Thank you so much! We all had a wonderful evening. You staff made my Dad's 60th Birthday special.“

“Ummm dare I say one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had !!!“

“A group of 4 friends went to have dinner Sunday July 12th in the Olive garden in Camarillo. Our waiter went over and beyond in helping getting our food kept checking up on us. Great attitude and very friendly. From ordering our drinks to getting our food plus we ordered food to go , no problem. I did not get his name we will be back for sure.“

“Talk about authentic Italian deserts! I spent more on desert than dinner. The food - service - atmosphere and entertainment were all amazing. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“There is something wonderfully reassuring about an Italian restaurant that does not need to reinvent itself to remain relevant. In an age when dining rooms increasingly chase trends, this historic Woodland Hills establishment is a reminder that authenticity, tradition, and a sense of place can be far more compelling than culinary theatrics.

From the moment we arrived for our reservation, we were warmly received by the manager, whose hospitality immediately established the tone for the evening. The restaurant possesses that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in and established—an atmosphere shaped by years of serving its community rather than one manufactured for effect. It feels like a place with a story.

We began with a couple of Peronis, a fitting aperitivo before dinner, and eventually followed our server's recommendations for two dishes: the Chicken Parmigiano and the fettuccine al porcini.

The Chicken Parmigiano was the undisputed triumph of the evening. It was wonderfully comforting yet indulgent, delivering precisely the kind of soulful satisfaction one hopes for from a classic Italian-American preparation. The dish had the richness and familiarity of something deeply rooted in tradition, and it was easily the plate that left the strongest impression on us. In fact, it is reason enough for me to return.

The fettuccine al porcini was somewhat less successful. The pasta and mushroom component showed promise, but the chicken pieces incorporated into the dish were disappointing in both texture and overall appeal. We brought the matter to our server's attention during the meal, although, unfortunately, all that was offered was for it to be cooked again. From a hospitality perspective, this was a missed opportunity. When a guest offers constructive feedback while still at the table, the most memorable restaurants treat it as an invitation to make the experience better.

That said, perspective is important. One imperfect component does not define an entire restaurant, particularly when so much else succeeds. We came because of a friend's recommendation, and we leave with that recommendation still intact.

What ultimately distinguishes this restaurant is not perfection for perfection's sake, but character. There is an authenticity here that is increasingly difficult to find. The restaurant feels connected to the neighborhood, to Italian culinary tradition, and to the simple pleasure of gathering around a table for a proper meal.

For Woodland Hills and the greater San Fernando Valley, establishments with genuine history and identity are invaluable. This restaurant is, without question, a true asset to the neighborhood.

We will absolutely return and give the kitchen another opportunity to impress us. And when we do, I suspect the Chicken Parmigiano will be making another appearance at our table.

Thank you to the management and staff for the warm welcome and the evening.

Until next time—buon appetito.“

“The food is consistently fresh and very good; the staff is kind and helpful. I have been going here (Simi) for over three years, and I have family in Ventura, and found the Ventura location near the Ventura Government Center, also the same quality of food and staff there. I recommend them! Great Food and Great Value!“

“Marcello Ristorante offers a wonderful dining experience with authentic flavors, attentive service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with every dish showcasing quality ingredients and careful preparation. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it an excellent choice for both casual dinners and special occasions. I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the entire experience, from the service to the presentation of each meal. Everything exceeded my expectations, and the overall hospitality made the visit truly memorable. I would highly recommend Marcello Ristorante and look forward to dining here again in the future.“

“Tried Jon & Vinny’s today for the first time - the location is great! Love the ambiance, the service and the food was amazing! We had the house salad (so yummy), the kids spaghetti pomodoro, and the Bronx bomber pizza (finally good pizza in the area!) - everything was great! Our server/bartender was also amazing! Highly recommend and we will be back!“

“I placed a very large order with short notice to Ameci. Wildfires displaced our crews and I was really looking for a place to be able to buy everyone (30 +) lunch. Everything came out not only on time but with smiles and the pizza was to die for. Couldn't have asked for better!“

“The food was delicious and our server, Daniel, was very attentive and thoughtful. He made sure our water glasses were always full and even added a sparkler to our dessert as he saw we were celebrating a birthday. Very nice ambiance as well!“

“The food was delicious, service by Danielle was fabulous. No rush just plenty of time to total enjoy our food. The food cook by Eddie was more them delicious it's was fabulous.
Thank you all for a special night out just to enjoy good meal and great company with my huddy. ❤️“

“Four of us went to Tuscany for dinner on Friday night. Made a reservation for 6pm and sat outside. The weather was perfect, the staff was super friendly and the food was great.“

“I did the takeout but I had to have the Pinot pasta with sausage but the chicken dinner which I wish I could remember the name of that special someone ordered? Was one of the best meals I’ve ever seen in my life and ever eaten… I had to have a bite of hers lol! The penne pasta with sausage was beyond yum!“

“Excelente atención personalizada!! Los platillos MÁS QUE EXQUISITOS !! Y el postre hecho por el dueño y su esposa EXCELENTE!! Me pude haber comido tres ... pero ya estaba satisfecha 😊 MOLTO BENE!!! Atte: DALILA, DANTE (ALIGHIERI) 😂😂 y RAMÓN“

“A++++ FOOD AND STAFF ARE GREAT!!!! -ROANESYMON“

“Food was reasonable fresh & good just got a sub glad I went here !! Better service & fast then subway which next door !! Looked at menu everything was looking good“

“Everything great Always great food and service“

“Very friendly and great service. Sandwiches are so tasty, my favorites the #2! Will always recommend friends and family 😁“

“Had the greatest time. Not a huge wine fan but their options are so vast and a very knowledgeable sommelier. A wine for every person. The entire spectrum from white to red and every shade in between. I loved the place.“

“Great experience. Will definitely bring my kids and all visitors here“

“Food is always good here and service as well. I love the endless soup with their meals. Lunch time is a great bargain. Wish they'd have have the option of the sandwiches coming on Italian bread than just all on the bread sticks but they are still pretty good for the price. I go for the meatball sand because it's a cheaper bargain price and I thought it was much better tasting than the chicken sandwich which was about the same as you'd get at Burger King. My wife and I come to Olive Garden mostly when they have the GET ONE TAKE ONE HOME DEAL. Can't beat that. The only reason I don't give this place 5 stars is because all their chicken is not that good and is the same yuck kind you can get at any fast food joint. The meatballs are great. But then if you want to add them to you spaghetti dinner, they charge an extra $3 for 3 meatballs or sausage even. Then that makes spaghetti & meatballs come to about $16 and that is overpriced imo. On some visits the spaghetti sauce is caked with thick tomato slices in it and no other options because it's all made that day. Some days the sauce is more meaty and then the next visit tons of too much tomato slices and it's all watery. Also, being a bigger guy, almost every time we've been here, it's been a bit embarrassing being seated at booths that don't fit me and then having to move and I think the host or hostess should know better and know their tables. Otherwise this is a place we go to for lunch and only for dinner when they have the buy one take one home deal.“

“Great vibe fantastic pizza and the best antipasto salad 😁 keto lovers they offer cauliflower crust we are trying next“

“Fantastic food, Christina and team provide excellent service. Everything is top notch.“

“quick hot and tasty was my slice! enjoyed i a lot thx Tony's“

“Molto bene good service nice outdoor sitting“

“Right around the corner from our hotel - The Anza. We were able to change our reservation from 7:15 to 6:30 since our room wasn't ready - the hostess was very accommodating. Servers are all so friendly. The food is delicious - pear and burrata appetizer, salmon bow tie pasta, eggplant Parmesan. The salad and salad dressing was excellent too!!! The strawberry lemon drop was perfect. We dined on the patio - it was so pleasant and not loud. I would highly recommend Rosti.“

“Absolutely delicious pizza! Different styles of pizza are available. I look forward to trying them all. Nice restaurant. Casual and comfortable.“

“We absolutely love this little local place. The owners are wonderful and make you feel like you are at a big family dinner in Italy! So far we have only tried a few items on the menu, but we will be back to try more. Delicious pizza and such a cozy, family-friendly experience.“

“great service good food & portions“

“We used Ameci Pizza for all 8 weeks of our Monday summer camp, and they were absolutely fantastic! Every single week, our delivery driver, Luis, arrived right on time. The pizzas were always hot, fresh, and delivered exactly to order for our campers. Managing food for a kid's camp can be stressful, but Ameci made it completely seamless and hassle-free. We couldn't be happier with their service and look forward to partnering with them again next summer!“
