50 Best Italian Restaurants near Granada Hills

“I wish I could give this place 100 stars! This is hands-down one of the best, most family-friendly spots in our community. We’ve been coming here for years, and every time, they deliver an amazing experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent—and the warm, welcoming environment keeps us coming back.
Our most recent visit was just as wonderful. Our server was incredible—he took his time with our kids, was so patient, and made sure even our youngest felt included when placing his own order. That kind of kindness and attention to detail means a lot, especially to families with little ones.
The service is fast, the staff is always friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is just perfect for a casual night out or a weekend treat. You can tell this place truly values its customers and takes pride in everything they do.
We really hope they stay in this location for many years to come. It’s so important to have places like this in the neighborhood—where great food, great people, and great memories come together. Highly, highly recommend!“

“I ordered delivery so I can't comment on anything but the food. The food was good but the alfredo sauce needs way more parmesan. Since I cook a lot I was easily able to fix it up and make it delicious but it technically should already come that way.
However, the prices are reasonable, and its difficult to hit that price point if you are spending tons of money on high quality parmesan.“

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

“This restaurant is the worst the food is gross n the service is horrible never ever go there. We will never again the waitress are so rude.“

“Garlic Rolls, Salad, Pizza & Ice Cold Budweiser 😋“

“delicious fresh bread which is baked daily. great Italian products and their cheesecake is amazing.“

“Been coming here for years since I was in jr high it hasn't really changed I still pass by every once in awhile when I'm feeling nostalgic gotta get my pepperoni calzone fix every so often and this is one of the only places that actually makes it the right way with ricotta cheese calzones are garbage without it you Wana have a good day all you need is a big a+$ calzones dipped in that red sauce with some crushed red peppers only thing you gonna need after is a nap from that food coma ... Stop by and try it..... Your welcome“

“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.“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“Excellent food and service!“

“We visited The Bella Pizza Trattoria Italiana last night and had such a great experience! The whole place has a warm, cozy, family-style vibe that makes you feel right at home.

The food was fantastic, the pizza had a perfect thin, crispy crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. The pastas were just as amazing, rich and comforting, like real home-style Italian cooking.

What really made the night extra special was the service. The chef came out to check on how we liked the food (which we loved!), and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. You can tell they really care about what they do.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food with a personal touch, definitely check this place out. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“We’ve been coming for over a year now, and every time we go the service is top notch. The owner takes a moment to talk to us and to make sure we are having a great time. Their cuisine is exquisite, better than other over-rated Italian restaurants in the valley. They always surprise you with their delicious tiramisu dessert.
If you’re craving Italian food, this restaurant will always hit the spot.“

“I went with a large group and I think everyone but me like their entrées way better than I did. I really think maybe I just made a wrong taste choice. I went for a mushroom ravioli with a cream sauce. I have to say the service was excellent. It’s a cute little restaurant. You probably wanna make a reservation if you’re going there, the bread is incredible. It’s so so yummy. I did enjoy the appetizers. I was not impressed though by the Caesar salad I was with five other people and they all loved their trace. I think I just made a poor choice. I would recommend it and even for a romantic night or dinner.“

“I have been going to roma deli for over 6 years. My kids and I sometimes go grab a pizza while we're washing at the nearby laundry place. They have a large variety of drinks and bottled water.
If we dine in we usually get sandwiches and paninis. With either fries or sides. The staff is always friendly and patient with us. The food is always good. Yesterday we got it delivered, I didn't wanna go out and I don't like ordering from delivery apps so I love that you could order directly from their website. I usually get the grilled chicken caprese panini but yesterday I tried the roma cheesesteak and that was also top tier (chicken caprese is still my favorite though) Literally everything that I have tried at Roma Deli has been good. Also I never remember to take my punch cards, I think you get a free sandwich if you fill up your card. If you have picky eaters, trust me you'll find something on the menu that they'll like.“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience and great food“

“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.“

“wait staff very responsive to our requests…. home cooked food at a decent price! a winner!!!“

“Yummy always. Great service and 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“

“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!“

“Been going to this restaurant for years. The food has always been good, particularly the pizza.“

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“I was in town traveling for work and stopped into Bacari Sherman Oaks for dinner. As a party of one, I was able to grab a seat at the bar, where I ended up having an excellent experience. I struck up a conversation with the bartender, Skyler, who was not only super friendly but incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu.

Since it was my first time there, I asked Skyler to choose the dishes for me and he absolutely nailed it. Every plate was on point.

Highly recommend Bacari for anyone visiting the area and if you can, grab a seat at the bar and let Skyler take care of you. You won't be disappointed!“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“Good food. Not a huge menu but good choices. Kids like their food“

“By far, the best pizza around, and super-nice owner and employees. Have recommended Napoli's to every local Facebook group I belong to.“

“We had an out of town guest who loved pasta so brought her to Uovo for the food and ambiance. All the pasta dishes were excellent…and each with its own unique taste. Portions are “small” for US so definitely recommend at least one dish per person.“

“The food is sooooooo good! From bread to appetizers to pasta and pizza, everything was delicious - one of the best shrimps I have ever had!! It’s much better than any other Italian restaurants in this neighborhood. Super cozy and it’s a family vibe, it may not be as trendy but if you care about food, this is really the place. We will be back a lot!!“

“Love Vitellos, feels like an awesome local secret, while being a classic la restaurant at the same time. Great food, amazing staff and fun night out. They always seem to find a way to connect to the neighborhood in new and interesting ways as well.“

“Delicious food, I enjoyed myself there and the spaghetti was great just like expected 🧡“

“Fantastic service. All of the staff were delightful and cordial. Our server, Alexa, elevated our entire experience. She has a great sense of humor and is very quick witted! The atmosphere of this location has that indubitable je ne sais quoi that will make you drive an hour just to experience again. The cuisine was incredible - extremely pleasing on the palette, perfectly seasoned, and delivered with welcoming service.

Thanks again to our server, Alexa, for making our night!“

“excelent food and very friendly family. love this restaurant. one of my italian favorites Restaurant.“

“First time visiting Oliva Trattoria and it was amazing. We were celebrating my goddaughter's birthday and they treated us with such great service. The food was amazing, especially the Cacio e Pepe. The specialty cocktails were amazing too. We will definitely be going back very soon!“

“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.“

“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.“

“5 stars sorpresa meraviglioso ristorante, my first time here and i love It Good ambiance excellent food very cozy. buon appetito.“

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

“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!“

“So happy to have tried Sugo! I only dipped my toes into the flavor pool ordering only the French Fries and the Meatballs and sauce! Having had an Italian Chef for a Father, I grew up being able to tell good Italian flavors from a simple dish like Meatballs and Sauce (gravy)! Both were excellent from Sugo! Hot from heat, great texture and fine flavors and plenty of food! I'm looking forward to delving deeply into the menu next time! The rest of the family dinner was a hit with everyone too! Great food for the price! I highly recommend Sugo!“

“Excellent Italian food. Fine dining. Great for special occasions.“

“Service n food were primo“

“🥃🙂👍 Jeff is a great bartender!“

“This was my first time coming to this place and was wonderful happy with everything that I experience. The service provided by Adriana and Julianna was fabulous they were friendly and kind and help with my special food needs. The food was scrumptious.Overall happy with my first visit and will be coming back.“

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

“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.“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“
