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!“

“This is a decent Italian restaurant. If you live far, it’s not worth the trip.

Parking is street and neighborhood parking in those cramped LA residential neighborhoods.

Restaurant seems small. It’s dimly lit and has a romantic atmosphere.

We had squash blossoms. The fry on it was good. It was very light and crispy. It doesn’t really have much flavor to it though in my opinion. I’d much rather have very good tempura. Still, this was interesting to try if you’ve never had it.

I had the pappardelle because there was no other cheesy pasta available. I don’t like the flavor of pecorino cheeses and thats what most dishes had. It wasn’t memorable but the pasta itself was good.

The orecchiette was good, but the flavor reminded me of Chinese spicy flavors. For that reason alone, I’d rather just eat Chinese food for a fraction of the price.

I think the dishes were cooked beautifully, but just not for my taste.“

“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 pasta was delicious, but we had to wait 15 minutes to be acknowledged, and when they did take our order, it was for everything and they “ran out of bread we run out all the time” at 7pm on a saturday. Restaurant 101: greet guests quickly, offer them some wine / drinks, even if you’re delayed on taking their order. Also offer more salad options or appetizers and we would’ve easily ordered dessert if it was offered.“

“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“The torpedos are incredible“

“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!“

“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!“

“Highlights: vodka chicken cutlet (very good); dry red wine was very good (forget which one; happy hour price very solid)

Wouldn't get again: Pepperoni pizza (nothing special); focaccia (decent but came out lukewarm / cools off very quickly); cheesecake (too expensive for the size; wish it was served colder)

Too loud at night, kinda have to yell to talk.

Really cool vibe; love that they're playing actual vinyl records.

Really cool Faema E61 espresso machine (didn't try any drinks from it tho).

Service is very good.“

“When I first walked in, I questioned if I should stay or leave. However, it smelled very good so we decided to stay. My friend and I ordered two dishes to share. I ordered a pizza based off the chef recommendation and it was thin crust without outstanding taste. We also ordered the pennetye Alle vodka with sausage. The sauce was so amazingly good. The garlic bread was also fantastic. Very unique from most places garlic bread. Service was a little slow, but was worth the wait. Great job definitely will be back again soon.“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

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

“Yummy wine as be delicious food!“

“Good food and good service“

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

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

“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“

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

“Amazing experience, thanks to Vittorio, Austin, and Andrea for the warm, genuinely Italian welcome, the sandwich was outstanding and truly tasted like being back in Italy, top-quality ingredients, perfect focaccia , big flavors, a must-stop in Venice Beach !!!“

“😋Delicious Italian Homemade Food“

“Sooo yummy and good service!“

“I wish we had found this place sooner, we probably would've eaten here 3 meals a day and im not kidding.
I always order Alfredo when given the option of pastas at a new restaurant. Its my favourite pasta dish and its just what I do.
This was THE BEST ALREDO SAUCE I have ever had in my life. I had it with the gnocchi which were also very good.
My husband had a side got garlic bread- even that was fantastic and the best we've had at a restaurant. (how does one make garlic bread that good, i dont even know, but fabio does).

The service was great, the man taking our order (im assuming that was fabio but I couldn't tell you,) was so sweet.

I wish he had a restaurant so the seating wasnt just on the beach mixed with people having food from the other places near by, cause this should be its own space.

Best food we had in LA.“

“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.“

“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.🙏🤗😇😋“

“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.“

“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....“

“Great folks, diverse clientele and awesome food!!“

“The best comfort food for our family!“

“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 🎹🎤❤️“

“I would give via Venetto five stars based on their delicious food alone, but unfortunately it took forever to get served. I realize it was a Saturday night and they were busy, but it took quite a bit longer than it should have. The food is top-notch- and I'm super picky especially about Italian food. “

“An absolutely phenomenal restaurant from top to bottom. The food is world class and the service is absolutely impeccable. Phillip, the front desk manager, was accommodating to a level that I have rarely seen. A wonderful experience and one that I hope to repeat many times over.“

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

“Great place for italian products and the sandwiches are devine!“

“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!!“

“（Spicy Honey Pie） ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thin crispy crust + pepperoni + honey drizzle, sweet and spicy flatHeng is super addictive!Must order!Cons: Too small, not enough for two people to share ($22). Rigatoni Vodka ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sauce is rich and a perfect blend of cheese and tomato, but you can get tired of eating too much of it. Garlic Shrimp⭐⭐⭐ The shrimp were fresh, but the portion was small (only 5 for $18) and the garlic flavor was not prominent enough. Tiramisu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the right amount of wetness, coffee liquor flavor, LA Top 3 level! But open until midnight, one of LA's few delicious late night snack options.“

“Came in tonite every thing was great Our server was great aswell food excellent will be back“

“So I have been eating at cafe delfini for over 15 years… the penne arrabbiata is amazing! The chef kills it every time. Probably the best I’ve ever had. It was my birthday and I wanted the penne, must try is an off menu soup stracciatella… absolutely amazing food I love eating here can’t wait to return.“

“Cucina italiana eccezionale. Mi sono sentita come a casa. Personale gentilissimo. Super consigliato!!!!“
