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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“It's a small hole in the wall pizza place that's geared for takeout. Great pizza and honest hard-working people. The quality of the ingredients and the product were great. This will definitely become my go-to takeout pizza place when I'm in town.“

“We were visiting for a bachelorette, this restaurant is in the cutest center with water and turtles. Complimentary valet if the parking lot isn’t full as well. Called ahead to ask questions and make a reservations and they were so sweet over the phone. While there, the waiters never let our glasses get empty and were so attentive! The food was delicious and they had many GF options. To top it off because we were celebrating our friend they gifted us complimentary champagne and tiramisu.

Such an amazing restaurant and staff in the cutest atmosphere! Thank you so much Toscana!“

“Fantastic food, generous servings, great prices, friendly service. What more could you ask for?“

“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!!!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“1st, I'm Italian. This has a strong bearing on my review. We had the homemade lasagna. It was the best lasagna I've ever had, next to my sainted Italian mother's. The food is authentically Italian. Also has the arugula salad...superb. We are not from the area. This restaurant was recommended by the innkeeper at the place we stayed. If we're in Santa Monica again, we'll come back for another authentic Italian meal!“

“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!“

“great food and service intimate atmosphere“

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

“Had lunch here with my friend and had a great experience! The salad wasn’t quite to our taste, but the staff kindly took it off our check, which we really appreciated. Everything else was delicious, fresh, and served very quickly. The service was excellent and attentive. Highly recommend this place, and I would definitely come back again!“

“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!“

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

“I love tomato pie they make pizza how it should be it perfect for take out. The pizza is good crunch and structure not floppy while having good soft crust. The margarita pizza is very good which means there ingredients are good quality because that one is the simplest. I just wish they hade prosciutto as a meat option“

“First time customer. We ordered the Armenian pizza, 2 churros and q 2L coke. Pizza was so scrumptious I'm going back for more!!! The owner is a sweetheart. Very positive vibes and extremely welcoming. Super clean place. Highly recommend 🤗“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Need to give a shout-out to this spot! I was heading back to my car after a beach day and happened upon Vittorio's. It was getting late and I didn't feel like cooking when I got home, so this was a nice surprise. The service was wonderful, the people who worked there were friendly, and the overall vibe was peaceful and refreshing to bask in for a moment. The chicken parm sandwich was excellent and I was happy that they didn't skimp on the cheese. I definitely recommend!“

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

“I’ve driven past this location on CA-27 dozens of times and always told myself I needed to stop in, so my partner and I finally booked a table last night. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for waiting this long to try it. Walking in, the dim ambient lighting and upscale linen tables set a highly sophisticated yet unpretentious tone. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp, and she got the lasagna; the pasta was cooked to an absolute perfect al dente, and the cream sauce was remarkably rich without being overly heavy. The service was formal and highly polished, though the kitchen did run just a tiny bit slow right at the peak 7:30 PM dinner rush. It’s an absolute hidden treasure in Chatsworth, and the premium quality of ingredients completely justifies the price.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“I was lucky enough to come in here and instantly enjoy the environment, but one thing I had to try with the chicken piccata I was screaming chicken breast with that lemonade aftertaste fettuccine Alfredo with smooth sauce. Let me tell you that creamy Alfredo sauce? Perfect fit.!!

Have to tell you right now, though once you get down with the strawberry dragon fruit, Italian cream soda the only thing that made me mad? They didn’t have bigger cups.

Hello sitting in this dining room you can read all about this place in history and a good Italian food that they provided a reasonable cost during join the program and add some bang to your buck!“

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

“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!“

“One of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever had. Drumsticks are delicious too, very well flavored. The Georgian Garlic Cheese bread with two vegan eggs is to die for! An absolut must try. Plus the owner is super sweet. Love to support local small businesses. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-17“

“Everything great Always great food and service“

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

“Great service and food was good“

“Had to give the food a 4 because my daughter's filet was a bit overcooked and when I brought it to the head waiters attention he just shrugged and didn't do anything. I did not want to make more of a commotion because she was fine with eating it. The other issue was when they wrapped the food to go, one of the bus boys accidentally threw out the remainder of my pasta. Although it was not a large portion, he too, did not escalate, nor did I but the restaurant should have made an additional serving to replace what was tossed. The food was good, the portion was on the smaller size, the service as far as always having a waiter or bus boy around was impeccable. Yes, I would dine here again, but unlikely due to the fact there are so many other places to try and I am just visiting. People watching was good. A lot of pretty people walking by, well dressed. Patrons at restaurant were mostly over 75, however we were there at 5:15 so they probably dine to eat and get home before the sun sets due to driving @ night.“

“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.“

“Awesome !!!!“

“Phenomenal food great tasting food and awesome quality!“

“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 food is great at reasonable prices. They have specials on sandwiches, pasta and pizza. The people that work there are always friendly and helpful. I’ve been going there for over20 years.“

“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.“

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

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