50 Best Italian Restaurants near Calabasas

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

“I do frequent this restaurant because the food is good. , But, it seems to be very difficult to get somebody to my table when I sit in front. Last night, geting water for the table took 15 minutes. And then when I'm trying to get somebody's attention, I noticed that the staff gathers around in front and talks together. I have no problem with staff being social but their first priority is to help patrons of the restaurant.“

“We went for dinner with the family on a Tuesday night. The place has a high ceiling and is very open - much like an attic space. The counter at the front has a huge refrigerated case with nice looking pastries. We didn't try the pastries. We were seated and the waiter came quickly. She took our drink order and came back for our entree order right after. We all chose pasta. I had the bolognese tagliatelle. My husband had the plain red sauce. My husband reported that his pasta was great. Mine sauce was good but not great. It was soft and lacked depth, or character. The pasta itself was good, not the pasta. My main concern was the noise level. Granted, I'm not young, but the hard floors and high ceilings weren't softened by any soft covers, so it was deafening to me.“

“The food at Toscanova in Calabasas was delicious. I ordered the Salmon and you cannot go wrong. My friend, she ordered the lasagna. Her plate was full. Her portion was big enough for a linebacker!. Very generous portions. Noise level was o.k. We sat outside and it was not so noisy. We stayed late until closing. It was perfect. The waiter was on top of things. Definitely would recommend and I will be back.“

“Michael's has been my go to pizza in calabassas for years. Great food, reasonable prices, & outstanding delivery service. Margherita pizza, meatlovers pizza, ny steak sub, & chicken parm sub my usual go to items. The girl on the phone is always sweet & extremely helpful“

“I wanted to share my highly positive experience dining at Grandi Italiani. The restaurant offers a sophisticated and welcoming ambiance, complemented by truly exceptional customer service. The quality of the food was outstanding, making for a thoroughly enjoyable meal. I wholeheartedly recommend Grandi Italiani for anyone seeking a fine dining Italian experience.“

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“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!“

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

“We dine here often. Food & service keeps bringing us back.“

“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!!!“

“Ordered Tamales for the holidays and grabbed a burrito and quesadilla. The asada burrito and steak quesadilla were full of flavor and the salsa had great taste. Can’t wait to try the Tamales.“

“Cute non pretentious family restaurant. Booths and tables although booths are always reserved. Great specials good food and amazing prices in a warm family atmosphere. Lots of regulars. Great service and delicious Italian food. A must. Parking metered on street or back lot. No frills just good food!“

“This has been my family’s go to restaurant for decades. Every time I go here, I am hit with nostalgia. Most birthdays and special occasions were spent here. Since I live out of state now, I always have to stop at chi chi's whenever I visit California. The plain cheese pizza is the best pizza hands down. I’ll never find another pizza like it. Also the cold cut sandwiches are delicious 🤤 I wish chi chis would extend into Oregon 🥲 also, please NEVER go out of business or I would be so devastated lol“

“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!“

“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.“

“great food and service intimate atmosphere“

“The grilled Atlantic salmon (with mashed potatoes and veggies) was flavorful, splendid. They could have served a larger portion of salmon. though. The dessert I had was the vanilla gelato with shots of espresso - loved it.. Overall this restaurant is very good, but a bit pricey (which is expected). I would come back again, as I was visiting from the Central Coast. 4.5 stars.“

“Ordered food to go for a baby shower. Food was ready right on time, they loaded into the car for me and were so helpful. The food was delicious with everyone enjoying the choices. Easy to work with and saved time by putting the wonderful food out to serve. Highly recommend!“

“My party of three and I had a lovely evening. The service from the moment we walked in was helpful, friendly, and informative, and our table was perfect. The food from the antipasto to dessert was delicious. One of my guests said the pasta With mushrooms and clams was the best that she's ever had. I am one of the luckiest to have this gem of a restaurant down the street from where I live !“

“The pizza here is really good, they sell it whole or by the slice. I just got the cheese, it was $6 for a slice and they also had these rip and dip breads that looked good I would like to try next time. They have some tables outside to enjoy some sun. Woman at the register was very friendly.“

“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“

“Yesterday, I had an unforgettable lunch at Vincitore Restaurant in Agoura. The Italian food was exceptional, and the service was impeccable. The owner, Kamran, personally took our order, served our meal, and surprised us with a delicious tiramisu. It was the best dining experience I’ve ever had!

Last night, I topped the day off with a Door Dash order from Kamran’s other restaurant, “Spumoni,” in Newbury Park. I enjoyed the “Linguine Alle Vongole” pasta with fresh manilla clams, roasted garlic in white wine sauce. It was so good!

Highly recommend👍👍“

“Food was great! You get to choose your type of pastas, sauce, and topping! The service was awesome, the service was fast, and the employees were very kind. The place had a regular smell. Me and my kids sat down only to see a sparkly, wooden table, and soft orange seats! 5 stars!“

“Consistent food. Friendly, efficient service. Very reasonable prices for amount of food. Many options. Delivers. Good catering menu.

Vegetarian options: There are multiple vegetarian options: multiple pastas, salad, and pizza. The Florentine lasagna is particularly tasty, especially with added marinara sauce.

The kitchen is small, so there may be non-veg food in the vicinity of your food.

Dietary restrictions: Cheese is omnipresent; it is an Italian place. I don't believe there is a cheese substitute available.

Parking: It is easy to call in orders in advance for pick up or eating there.

I have visited this place for 20 years. The food has been consistent over time in terms of quality.

I have used LA Lasagna for catering for groups of CSUN students and faculty/staff many times to good reviews.

This is a neighborhood restaurant with good prices, easy parking, pick up, and delivery.

The marinara sauce needs more garlic for me, but there is garlic, red peppers, and Parmesan cheese in shaker bottles.

The fountain sodas offered are Coke products. They also have other cans/2 liter bottles. I don't believe there is beer or wine.

The atmosphere is storefront bright with little ambience, but is clean with friendly service, and accurate orders provided.

I now live 50+ miles away and often stop by when I'm in the SFV near CSUN.

Kid-friendliness: The tables are close together, and the area open, so no mobile toddlers. Otherwise, mellow kids are fine here. If you have fidgeters, get your food to go or delivered for everyone 's sake.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for users of wheel chairs or other mobility devices.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“This place is amazing, some of the best pizza I’ve had from amicci’s. The inside is updated and looks awesome as well, the owners are awesome people and deserve the support of Simi Valley. I suggest everyone try this place out. You won’t be disappointed.“

“When we walked in we immediately noticed the modern and beautiful decor. Then we were greeted by a lovely and genuinely happy and well informed, helpful woman named Grace. Was so accommodating and informed about the tremendous choices on the menu. The food is well cooked, fast to arrive and all portions were enough for 2 and then some. Let me send out a special hello to our server.He too was attentive and very happy. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it !! We have decided to make this our date night dinner restaurant monthly. And so reasonably priced. Even with 2 cocktails, 1 appetizer and 2 entrees. The bill was just under $110. You can't beat this place. Thanks to the entire staff. We'll see you very soon!!“

“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 !!!!“

“Everything great Always great food and service“

“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!“

“For a place called tomato pie I expects to have a lot of tomato on my pie. It was good but their wasn't a lot of sauce on the pizza. It was mostly cheese. I would prefer sauce in my pizza especially because of the name. It was good but not enough sauce.“

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

“Awesome !!!!“

“Service n food were primo“

“Hands down 5 stars all the way around. To bad they close early, sometimes I get the cravings at 2am and there closed. ?

Parking: Plenti of parking in a shopping Plaza settings

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of t.v s on there walls to keep kids busy

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure but I believe it is“

“This is truly the most delicious pizza in the valley. The quality of ingredients is superior to any other pizza. I’ve tried in the valley and the service is consistently wonderful. I love placing a pick up order by phone and coming in to pick up the pies, which are always hot and fresh. I love that they have some unique items based on their Persian heritage and you truly cannot find these anywhere else.“

“This is not the BARONE'S PIZZERIA but a branch that is closer to our new home. So to try it out, I ordered a couple of pies to take home. Their thin crust pizzas came out of the oven, at the time ordered, and were as good as the pizzas prepared at the main restaurant.

Barone's Pizzeria creates a thin crisp crust rectangular pie. It is ladleled with a rich marinara sauce; then toppings are added. First, Monterey Jack cheese slices are layered to cover the sauce, then fresh veggies, and the protein of your choice are added. The resulting baked pie is uniquely delicious. I've enjoyed it for years. Our second pizza was made with vegan cheese. I devoured the personal sized pie.

Besides producing a remarkable duplicate of the original pizza, the Branch Pizzeria has a beautiful, romantic patio.

STUFF: The bathroom is inside, at the rear of the restaurant. A hand washing sink is outside the bathroom. Dogs may accompany their owners on the patio. Parking is free and easy. The lot is located east of the eatery. There are ADA spaces.“

“Great service and food was good“

“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!“

“Picked up dinner for the family. Delicious as always. Chicken saute was perfect!!“

“The description of Ike's to me made it sound like Fat Sal's and I was excited. Truth of the matter is Ike's holds its own, and it didn't disappoint. It has a great menu mixed with Meat and Veggie options. The Mrs. and I split and highly recommend the Captain Carl and the Meatless Mike (I concur "best vegan meatball in America", and Our 3 y/o gives the grilled cheese 👍👍. Our 9y/o swears it was the best grilled cheese she ever had.“

“Diana gave us an outstanding experience during our visit to Olive Garden! She was very attentive, nice, accommodating, and professional throughout our meal. She made sure we had everything we needed and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Diana, for the excellent service!“

“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!“
