50 Best Italian Restaurants near Calabasas

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

“We celebrated our holiday dinner party at Rusti Kitchen Calabasas with our entire staff, and we were extremely happy with the service, food, ambiance, and overall experience. We arrived a bit early, and the owners kindly seated us at the bar and offered complimentary drinks while our table for 20 was being prepared. Throughout the evening, they checked in with us to make sure everything was taken care of.

Our staff loved everything that was served buffet-style—salmon, pasta, salads, pizza, vegetables, chicken, and a delicious dessert. We never felt rushed and truly felt at home, which made the night even more special. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend Rusti Kitchen. We will definitely consider them again for future team gatherings.“

“Love the service here. The guy and lady that work the lunch shift are always super nice and have great service. They are very accommodating and friendly. Great people here. Above average for a grocery store. Would 100% recommend. Chicken aioli is bomb“

“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!“

“We had the most delicious and delightful evening at Caffe Delfini last night. The restaurant itself is a charming and old school Italian restaurant. The menu is extensive and filler with classic dishes. The pastas are all homemade and delicious!! The owner is very personable and attentive. He made our evening even more enjoyable. All in all a great time at this little gem of a restaurant.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Hands down one of the classiest good vibes restaurants in LA! The food is excellent. The wait staff and bar staff super friendly and personable and Jill (bartender, wine connoisseur and server extraordinaire) is a great reason to keep coming back! It’s like stopping by to see one of your closest friends. Oh…and the olive oil lemon custard cake is AMAZING!!!“

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

“The food is so delicious! Very Euro! It reminds me of my grandma's home cooking! The owners are so courteous and professional. I highly recommend this hidden gem in the valley!“

“great food and service intimate atmosphere“

“This has ALWAYS been thee place to get a Delicious Pizza, scrumptious Bread, and yummy Lasagna! After 60 years, it is still Simply the Best! Outstanding service provided by Ricci which made our dining experience wonderful! Everyone cares about the customer all the way to the top! Joan listens to the customers to make sure that the food is the BEST and it IS! You MUST go to Chi-Chi's when you're in Northridge!“

“Everything was great until our entrees arrived while we were only halfway through our salads. No apologies or offer to hold the main course back. They just put the dishes on the table. Only waitstaff joking about our having so many dishes on the table. Otherwise food was excellent and waitstaff was pleasant.“

“Absolutely amazing restaurant
Started out with appetizer little pieces of bread with seasoning and the marinara sauce you can tell was absolutely homemade delicious
The olive oil oil was and bread matched that of the quality of Italy
the Branzino fish dish was absolutely amazing. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. The carrots were delicious.
My family ordered the medallion steaks were also exceptional
The chicken dish and the seafood pasta was also as good as the rest of the dishes

For dessert, the tiramisu and the tart with vanilla ice cream and the dark chocolate tropics were to die for

Would highly recommend this place if you’re interested in a totally authentic experience that matches the quality of the best restaurants in all of Italy“

“It was a truly delightful experience, having lunch at Olivios Trattoria. It’s a cozy little Italian spot tucked into a strip mall, but don’t let the location fool you—the food here rivals high-end Italian restaurants.

Usually the salmon with vegetables and a side of pasta is a perfect combination and every bite is outstanding. The salmon was perfectly seared on the outside while remaining moist and tender inside, with just the right hint of seasoning and citrus. The vegetables were fresh, lightly sautéed, and had great texture—clearly not an afterthought. As for the pasta? Cooked al dente, rich in flavor, and coated with a savory sauce that hit all the right notes. Everything felt homemade, not mass-produced.

The atmosphere was relaxed and warm, with attentive service that made the meal even more enjoyable. This place is a hidden gem for Italian food lovers in Simi Valley, and I definitely love to be there to try more dishes.

Highly recommended for a casual yet memorable Italian dinner.“

“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“

“Nice clean store and food was delicious. The girl at the front was so friendly and answered me questions about the menu. I ended up getting the lasagna garlic bread salad combo and it was so good and for less than $15! I ate the garlic bread first cuz it was so good that's why it's not in the picture LOL.“

“Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to!

Everything from start to finish was amazing. The staff were super friendly and made us feel like part of the family. You can tell the food is made fresh with love — the pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce had incredible flavor.

The portions are generous, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is quick but never rushed. We tried the
Pizza, pasta and chicken parmesan and it was absolutely delicious.

Definitely coming back soon — this place is a hidden gem!“

“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.“

“Had a great dinner at Ameci with a friend! We ordered the largest pepperoni & Canadian bacon pizza plus a cheeseburger with fries—everything was delicious. Took leftovers and some chocolate mousse home, and her family loved it too.

Shoutout to Max for making the experience even better. He was training a new team member, juggling delivery calls, helping customers, and still stayed calm, patient, and super kind the whole time. He puts in the level of effort that definitely deserves recognition and I hope is valued the way it should be!

Thanks for a great night—we’ll be back!“

“I consistently have the most exquisite time at the presto pasta in Simi valley. Drake my usual cashier is so polite and always makes my day. Ashley the manager is soooooo kind. They both make my dining experience here very very pleasant. I will continue to eat here“

“Good food … we go there a lot … garlic bread, Italian food. I love the turkey and provolone salad.“

“Excellent service and delectable food! Grace and Roberto made a great team, attentive and timely. Nice big menu kept the whole family satisfied. My parents were staying at the hotel that this wonderful restaurant is attached to so we visited them for this meal but I’m local and will be back here even if I’m not visiting anyone staying at the hotel.“

“Never had the pleasure of going to the Palisades location, but this spot is awesome. We loved the chicken parm and the penne vodka. As someone from the east coast, I’ve been looking for an authentic penne vodka that tastes like it did in my childhood and I finally found it here!!“

“Incredibly fabulous food. Very professional wait staff. Can't thank Roberta and Elena enough. Thanks so much.“

“Awesome food and the service was an 11 will be back soon thanks“

“Great spot for fresh, fast, and affordable Italian food!

Presto Pasta in Granada Hills is a solid go-to when you want something quick but still delicious. The restaurant is casual with seating inside, perfect for a relaxed meal.

The pizzas are a great personal size and come out fresh and tasty. The garlic knots are delicious — soft, flavorful, and definitely a must-order. What I really love is how customizable the pasta dishes are: you can choose your pasta type, sauce, and ingredients exactly how you want it.

Ordering is super easy online or by phone for pickup, and the food is always ready fast. The staff is friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend Presto Pasta for tasty, affordable Italian food that’s done right“

“Everything great Always great food and service“

“Great service and food was good“

“It looks perfected, they are very generous with the amount of cheese and toppings. I look forward to seeing you again :)“

“Excellent entertainment by Mark Anthony ! Also the food was fabulous !!!!“

“Excellent NY style pizza on this side of the country, crispy undercarriage, no flop, plenty of cheese and a good sauce.

I highly recommend if you like a NY style pie.
I got a plain cheese & a grandma slice, I didn’t get pics bc I ate it so fast.

Eat it fresh out of the oven if you want that true crispy, crunchy pizza experience, don’t wait until you get home!!! Just my advice.“

“This place is the best ! Best pizza you’ll ever find and nice manager and pizza makers . The original one is in Van Nuys but this one in Woodland Hills makes the pizza better! Best sauce you’ll ever have !! Special recipe that has amazing flavor and the crust is fantastic!!“

“So I have been to taste Evo four times now and I'm never disappointed I knew immediately it was a family operated restaurant and the mother there is has become a mom to me also the family is really nice the food is always fresh and delicious and the wings are baked and not fried and that makes it like 1,000 times better and healthier and this is now my new favorite place😁💜“

“This is my sister's FAVORITE RESTAURANT! We go there every year for her birthday dinner.“

“Great food and atmosphere and within walking distance from the metro rail.“

“Awesome !!!!“

“My sister lives here, I'm visiting here from Kentucky. Always a dinner to order one night while I'm visiting. So delicious! Highly recommended and they deliver!“

“I love the tranquility of sitting outside the service greeted me immediately and I couldn’t wait to order the fettuccine with chicken I understand this place is a little further up Scale in price but it’s worth every penny of it the seating is perfectly fenced off with glass windows but channels are nice breeze that gently cools you while you sit sipping whatever apéritif and enjoying the wonderful bread that is accompanied with a fantastic in-house spread. The fettuccine has larger noodles and you’ll be used to put the texture of the creamy wonderful sauce and the chicken fried so perfectly I blended pepper to give it the perfect aftertaste I literally would’ve eaten 20 pounds of this if I could but this is my special place to come every so often it is a Christmas and birthday gift to myself!“

“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!“

“Excellent pizza! I ordered the regular Deluxe pizza but they also have a Vegetarian option. Best thing about the pizza was that it was not a greasy piece of dough with toppings. I will definitely put this at the top of my pizza choices in the area!“

“Went to Olive Garden on Thursday January 15th what friends for celebration. Our server Jose was the best! He was patient, polite, considerate, & very caring we never had to look for our server. He went above and beyond. Oh and the food was fantastic very fresh and hot! I love this Olive Garden in Chatsworth“
