50 Best Italian Restaurants near Alhambra

“the pizza is ausome been going to Angelo's pizza many years ago and it still the same“

“Had to check out this place and oh my goodness they best pasta I've ever eaten. Their veggie soup is really good. Was going to order their ravioli but, they no longer serve them anymore. Definitely have to try their signature meals, service is very friendly! Love supporting small businesses <3“

“love the service here. been coming here for over 22 years“

“I love the food my favorite is the linguine clams which is made with a white wine sauce but you can ask for red if you desire. Everywhere you go now a days is expensive but at least portions are large and shareable. It surprises me to read the reviews and see that people enjoyed the Tyson frozen wings they use to serve at Vittoria’s for years. I also would like to note that I love the antipasto salad and it doesn’t have only one meat as I read on one of the reviews.Also everywhere that has delivery service charges more when ordered on the app. Update: they are no longer charging for water. I can say that yes they are short staffed sometimes as well as many other restaurants have been ever since COVID. I really love the service and I will continue to be a customer for many years!! It always amazes me that people can’t see when it’s busy and aren’t understanding.“

“The pork chop dish was delicious and so tender. Generous portions and reasonable prices.“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great host, great hospitality, great presentation 💯“

“Delicious little wine bar. We were looking for a place to eat, and everything near us was closing soon. I was searching on Yelp & found this spot. So, we jumped on the freeway and headed on over after making a reservation. Everything was SO good. The cheese & meat option we chose was great. The little tuna snack was flavorful, and the potatoes were amazing! The pizza was also really good. I had one glass of wine and it was refreshing as well. Great little place with the perfect chill vibe. Can't wait to come back!“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“OMG!! we came here before the Angus and Julia Stone concert (around the corner from the Orpheum Theatre) the last Saturday in June and what a cozy little joint this place is! We sat at the bar

Service was spot on, my wine was delicious (a Chenin Blanc) and the Bolognese Pappardelle was mouthwateringly good! The wine list consist of natural wines. Such a chill vibe in here but we were early in our reservations so keeping that in mind I'd say it might get busier the later the hour. Also be aware they do NOT take cash for payment of your meal. They do, of course for tips just not for the meal.

Not a lot of room in here so don't come with the thought of a romantic dinner for two where you can whisper sweet-nothings to one another without someone else overhearing hahaha.

Parking lot was well lit behind the building, it is shared with the Theater.

“100% recommend. thank you“

“A wonderful local place run by people who used to work at some high class places decided to run their own business. The sauces are great. They have specials all the time. I'm shocked how the prices are still low. Crowded even on a Wednesday.
You will not be disappointed.“

“Family atmosphere and the most authentic Italian food!! Always delicious and always a good time!“

“Amazing delicious food and love the ambiance. The servers were awesome!!“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“My Daughter & I had dinner here tonight… the food was PHENOMENAL!!! Great Friendly Service too!! What a treat to sit at the bar & watch everything looking delicious coming out of the kitchen window!!! Thank you for such a great Saturday night treat for an out of town Momma visiting her daughter!! I’ll beg her to come everytime I’m in town, and be very Jealous that she gets to come whenever she wants!!! EVERYTHING was BEYOND DELICIOUS!! Bravo!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“Everything about my reservation was great. The entire staff is so friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic. We left thinking about when we'd be back just to have the Fusilli alla Vodka again.
Pro tip! If you can’t find a reservation, set notifications on Resy for the times you are available. A few usually open up. Just be sure to have your credit card on file, they go fast! ?“

From the moment you take your first bite, you'll be blown away by the perfect balance of tenderness and flavor.

The ambiance of the restaurant adds to the dining experience, creating a warm and welcoming environment that feels both upscale and comfortable. Whether you're a steak lover or trying it for the first time, Foxy's delivers an unforgettable meal that blends top-quality ingredients with expert culinary skills. Highly recommended!“

“Ordered: gluten free pizza with added giardiniera and side of chili paste, Market Salad, and shaved ice with fruit The salad had very fresh greens and it was the first time I’ve ever had fried capers which added a great flavor to the salad, if you like capers I recommend this salad. The pizza was very interesting, I thought the crust was very well done but the toppings didn’t stay on well and it was messier than I’d like and I had to keep re-piling the toppings on after every bite. I had the spicy giardiniera but it also didn’t stay on, the chili paste was great to layer on it and then press the giardiniera onto it to help keep everything in place. The pizza was sweeter than I like a pizza which is where the chili paste and giardiniera helped. Very beautiful pizza, try it for yourself, might be your style, not mine though, I’d eat it again and would keep this as a recommendation when I have a group of vegans and non vegans. The vegan desert they had was shaved ice with fruit, it had coconut and maybe coconut cream at the base of it and there was lemon flavoring in the ice which made it very tart and exciting, the cherries were a nice sweet contrast, I really enjoyed it, I did not get a chance to photograph it because I ate it before I remembered. We sat outside under a pergola with small trees and plants. The staff were friendly and helpful.“

“I looooooove this place so much. They play the absolute grooviest music/best DJ (please add a dance floor 😭🙏🏾) and amazing service!! Great vibes all around. Great to stop at for a drink and vibe.

Such a sweet corner gem, great place to stop by on a Saturday night.“

“It's delicious. The price is also right.“

“Great Food, Great Service...“

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing smoothies and bowls! Yummmmy! Cute shop with food and gift items as well!“

“One of the best I’ve had “out” in a very long time.“

“Our server was awesome... her recommendations were spot on! the food surpassed our expectations! exceptional...The ambiance was relaxing for a Friday night and perfect for our friend's birthday celebration. thank you for making it so special. Very happy party of 4 enjoyed dinner at Marina!“

“A fantastic night of dancing, great food, big band magic, all set in a grand ballroom that evokes a sense of grandeur and style. I cannot recommend this enough. We saw Lizzy and the Triggermen there, who blew the roof off. As for the food, the tuna tartar was delicious, the veal piccata and branzino were both excellent, and the desserts were surprisingly elegant and capped the evening perfectly. Drinks are not cheap, but they’re well made and generous. All in all, an evening of high style hard to match anywhere in LA, or New York, for that matter. Cannot recommend enough.“

“All around great experience! Good food, great service, good music! If only I lived closer…“

“Food was amazing, spot on. Great comfortable service. Really nice experience!“

“Great food Great service will visit again“

“Great food at good prices“

“It was delicious and my waiter was awesome.“

“Old-school charm and service, elegant dining, live jazz piano at the bar. Been coming here for years and it’s still a super treat. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Good food. Reasonable prices. No frills, hole in the wall kind of place. Good take out place. (Read: the lighting was really bad, decor seemed makeshift). You go there for the food and price, not for a date or an experience. Kind of surprised that this place has perfect 5 stars, so hope this review is a fairer representation of the place.“

“They treat you like family. The food is incredibly great.“

“☆☆☆☆☆ Chianti, Branzino, Gamberoni All'Agio New Caledonian Prawns 😋“

“Whether you get it to go or dine-in. ALWAYS amazing! Chef always makes you feel at home. My absolute favorite Italian Restaurant. P.S. every picture has been a different occasion 😋“

“Incredible experience in this Argentine restaurant.

I had the pleasure of enjoying some delicious meat empanadas, perfectly seasoned and with a crispy dough on the outside. A true Argentine classic! In addition, we ordered the grill for two and it was simply spectacular: juicy cuts of meat, well cooked to the right point, and with an authentic flavor. The portion was generous and perfect for sharing.

The service was excellent, and the attention to detail really made the experience memorable. Without a doubt, I will return soon!“

“They have the best pizza and the environment feel like your at home.“

“Best Italian food I’ve ever had!“

“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.“

“Food is delicious and service is fantastic. One of my favorite restaurant.“

“We had the DineLA menu. The corn gazpacho was wonderful, perfect for summer. Both the branzino and duck could use some more flavors. The chocolate sorbet was delicious! Nice dark chocolate flavor. Our server was excellent, friendly, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The patio was nice and we very much appreciated the low volume music ...allowing us to have good table conversations without having to raise our voices.“

“Very welcoming family owned restaurant, offering great quality authentic Italian food.“

“Excellent restaurant italien authentique au cœur de LA downtown. Délicieux !!!“

“Incredible atmosphere, excellent service. We sat at the window bar looking out into the street and it felt so inviting and wholesome. An experience I feel is rare among LA restaurants. The caprese was amazing, deliciously simple and decadent, and with the pesto on top . I had the mushroom carbonara and my wife had the caccio e pepe, both of which I can reccomend wholeheartedly. Also on thursdays there's a farmers market right across the street. Had a great time and we're excited to go back and try more of their menu. Shoutout to our waiter what a chiller.“

“Best broasted chicken and large portions. Delicious Italian food“

“The spaghetti bolgnese was yummy. The rib eye salad...well literally 1/2 of the rib eye was pure fat. Unedible. And the arugula was filled with long, hard stems...unedible. However the balsamic dressing was DELICIOUS. Very nice staff. Inside decor was tables and chairs, very plain. I heard there were booths, but I didn't see any. I'd come again only for the bolgnese. UPDATE. love the chicken picatta, steak dinner not salad, and the pizza!!! Desserts are yummy“
