50 Best Italian Restaurants near El Segundo

“Food was great! Wonderful dessert recommended by our server!!“

“The food tasted really good!“

“Excellent food, & service . Jose was accommodating, friendly & courteous ‼️ Pizza , lasagna & sandwiches are excellent ‼️ Thank You“

“The best pizza I've had in LA, I'm comparing it to Luigi's Pizza in Brooklyn NY. If ykyk. The slices do not flop, the sauce has great flavor and is just right. Overall, delicious. Will always look to Prime when I'm in LA and crave pizza.“

“For this yankee, the pizza was as close as it gets to any NY style pizza! The crust was perfectly thin (not too thin), the sauce had just the right amount of sweetness and the cheese had a good bite. The service was neighborhood friendly. The young men working knew the teens coming in. They were all pretty down to earth and polite. To too off the experience, very affordable!“

“One of those restaurants that gets everything right.

Kudos to the owners, management, and entire staff for creating such a fantastic dining experience. The food was excellent, the service polished yet genuinely friendly, and the bar and dining room had a charming, welcoming atmosphere.

The menu is thoughtfully crafted, with plenty of delicious options. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and personable—always a combination I appreciate.

One thing I always check when trying a new restaurant is the condition of the restrooms. In my experience, clean bathrooms often reflect a well-run kitchen. Felix Trattoria checked that box as well.

I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area.“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Beyond expectations! Best meal & service in at least 10 years. I’ll be back!“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“Guys, I would love to gatekeep this place, but the public deserves to know. This is literally the best food I have ever had in my life. I usually just go to restaurants depending on the actual taste and quality of the food and don't really care about the service, but omg the staff here are actually INCREDIBLE.“

“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“The torpedos are incredible“

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too“

“Our server Sean was amazing!“

“One of the best restaurants around. From the Yellow Tail Crudo to the Farmers Market Peas & Burrata di Puglia to the Salt Spring Mussels to the Duck Egg Pizza. Everything was simply amazing and the service, drinks and energized atmosphere make this a place we like to come to often. Highly recommended.“

“We catered a Christmas dinner for 8 with Il Moro and all the food was delicious! We especially loved the melt-in-your-mouth short ribs, divine vegetables and pasta with olives dishes. We will definitely be back!“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“Always a great experience and meal at Orto, strongly recommended!“

“I love this kind of place. Has been there forever and a hidden gem. Do not let the unassuming aesthetic dissuade you, this is very good authentic italian food and experience. Antonio is fantastic, ask for and take his reccomendations. Go with the flow here, it's relaxed but quality italian. Go somewhere else if you want bougie ambiance but mid teir italian. Wine salads dinner and deserts all excellent. If you have been to Italy you understand that modesty and relaxed environment plus excellent food and people is how it is supposed to be.“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

“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!“

“It has the rare ability making you feel both out at a restaurant and being invited into someone’s stylish living room for dinner. Records line the shelves, music spins through the space, and every table seems to be having the exact night out they hoped for.

The crispy rice salad starts things off. Each ingredient earns its place with a honey miso dressing that threads it all together. The pizzas are outstanding. They absolutely deserve the spotlight. Thin crust perfection. Crisp edges, restrained cheese, balanced tomato sauce, exactly enough char underneath. Both the classic and pepperoni pies feel disciplined, making it dangerously easy to finish more slices than intended. For the pasta, the rigatoni bolognese brings al dente cooked pasta coated in a layered, rich meat sauce. The ratio of meat to pasta is spot on, making every bite feel substantial without becoming overly dense. Hearty but never excessive. Dessert arrives as a strawberry ricotta cheesecake that somehow feels light. Creamy ricotta filling, fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce. Not too sweet, not too rich.

Companion gets the details right. The room, the music, the pacing, the service, the food. It’s all welcoming and deeply enjoyable.“

“Good food and good service“

“服務員態度親切，讓客人覺得溫馨“

“I met a cute girl🙏 and the food is fuego fuego 🔥“

“Might be the best Lasagna I’ve ever had! Food was amazing and the staff was awesome!! Definitely will be a permanent stop each time I’m in LA.“

“The oven and heat is as essential an ingredient as the rest. Amazing staff who know everything you need to know for a great meal. Starts with the pie that helped cement their legacy but everything is amazing. And the Caesar is about the best in the city.“

“Yummy wine as be delicious food!“

“I've never been there but i have to say i love what they doing and hopefully we'll get to know each other and taste the beautiful pasta dishes“

“Amazing staff, fantastic food, great atmosphere. 10 out of 10 for me!“

“We frequented this sandwich shop when we were traveling in Florence and Rome. Pleasantly surprised to see they have a store in Venice and decided to give it a shot. Sandwiches here are not as good as the ones in Italy, but pretty great for what I’d expect here.

Got the l’italiana and the la schiacciata del boss. Both were good in their own way but I’d say the truffle cream in the del boss sandwich is an excellent umami boost.

Sandwich portions here are pretty big and half a sandwich is enough to fill me up!“

“😋Delicious Italian Homemade Food“

“Delicious pasta & great tiramisu, if I could rate this place 6/5 I would.

I ordered the gnocchi with mushroom sauce and burrata, and it tasted almost homemade. The gnocchi had the perfect slightly chewy texture, and the sauce had a slight olive oil flavor to it that kicked it up a notch.

The man at the counter was also quite friendly and chatty, he said “it’s so good you’ll want it for breakfast, lunch and dinner” and I agree.“

“Sooo yummy and good service!“

“The foods are amazing … i had the salmon creamy pasta and i liked it so much, the salmon with cherry tomatoes are very refreshing , porcini and mushroom are the new favorites , but the black truffle was the most unforgettable one , once you taste it, it seems you are watching a classic italian movie. The employees are friendly and very accomodating. The atmosphere itself makes you feel like home.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Lexi!!! She makes this place the best! My group (3 of us) showed up without a reservation on a UCLA home Basketball night. She and her team made us feel right at home, even with a full house!!! Food was excellent, service was even better! Can't wait to go back!!“

“Love the California sunshine pizza, the penne pasta with pink sauce and mushrooms, Caesar salad, garlic bread, calamari, shrimp scampi, chef extraordinaire Julie Munn and crew! Food is always delicious whether eat in or takeout. The California sunshine pizza is even better the next day unheated! That's how good it is. All vegan 🌱 and organic greens😋🤤“

“Delicious food and friendly atmosphere.We had a great time.Thank you.🙏🤗😇😋“

“10/10 Recommend. When I’m in the area, I always gravitate to this spot. I love everything on the menu.“

“We had a nice, cozy dinner here and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We ordered our pasta without cheese, but it was accidentally served with cheese. The staff handled the mistake very professionally and apologized immediately. They quickly brought us the correct order, and the service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive. Mistakes can happen, but the way they resolved the situation was excellent.“

“This is an outstanding Italian restaurant, and we've been to many great Italian restaurants in both Los Angeles and New York. I was extremely impressed not only with the quality of the food but also the fabulous service. Great spot, probably my favorite Italian restaurant in Los Angeles now.“

“Good fare at a fair price...“

“Fantastic pizzeria in Westwood. Pizza is solid. Great menu to please most. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend....“

“Happy New Year Y’all!!🥂✨🤘🏼🥳 As many of you know I’ve been playing piano and singing at Casa Ado in Venice for the last 3.5 years, for a total of 700+ shows. There have been two paintings with me in them, a painted recording of this era of my life! It is unclear what will be happening with the restaurant going forward, as there may be some ownership change. Everyone is sort of holding their breath, and for now, music has not been included in January of 2020. There is talk it could go either way in Feb. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you all who have come and supported me these past few years on Washington Square and I will keep everyone posted as to what settles out in the next bit of time. For now, I am looking at all the possibilities and have some cool projects lined up on the horizon. Add me as a friend, Stay in touch, and wishing you all the best decade yet! 🥂✨🥳🤘🏼 Love, Mike 🎹🎤❤️“

“Service and food is amazing. Would definitely recommend.“

“If you want an experience you will not forget, rush to STECCA TAVERNA! From their gracious staff, to their fine interior aesthetics, you will be instantly fulfilled.

Their Italian cuisine is as legitimate as it gets. The menu from top to bottom are all hits. They simply cannot be beat. I have been a repeat customer since they have opened.

Bravo STECCA!“
