50 Best Italian Restaurants near Granada Hills

“This place is a legendary gem in the SFV. The new owners have done an incredible job keeping with the original menu and adding their own love to the menu. The Minestrone soup is the greatest soup I’ve ever had. My mouth waters thinking about it. The pizza, and sandwiches legit. I highly recommend Casa de “

“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!“

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.“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“My husband and I tried this restaurant today and we were very happy with the food. The chef took our order and took the time to explain that the lasagna recipe is from his mother. The lasagna sauce was amazing and so was the Diavola pizza. Very authentic and intimate restaurant. Great place for a date night, or quiet dinner with friends.“

“The food is very good. 5 stars. The waiter's service is very bad. I hope when I go back. I won't let him serve me definitively“

“Best chicken sandwich I ever had in my inter life. Bread was fresh as hell. Tomato Lettuce n olive oil vinegar was spectacular. It tasted like subway in the 80s. Energy there was great!Definitely will be coming back! A 420 must go/have😋“

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

“I found this place across from my hotel. I ended up coming here three nights in a row. Everything was so delicious. The homemade Beef rib ravioli, Spaghetti with tiger shrimp in spicy tomato sauce ,and ribeye were the main dishes I had. Very very good. I loved the cheese cake for dessert. Their service and atmosphere is fantastic. The staff were very friendly and happy to see me back. I may come back again tomorrow.“

“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!!!“

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

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

“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.“

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

“I'm very glad we tried this place. Awesome service, very cool people working there. Amazing vibe inside the restaurant. And the food is authentic, delicious, cooked to perfection, and the portions are excellent sizes. Nothing too big or too little. Kudos . Keep it up! Highly recommended ! Ciao“

“Hands down my favorite place for Italian food!!! Without mentioning that their tiramisu is the best tiramisu of my life!!!! Highly recommended the tasting menu, includes a starter, 3 different pasta flavors and dessert.
The place is a bit small and dark but it gives me vibes of NYC kitchen/bar, which is cool.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“I’m big fan of wood fire Pizza. Finally a halal spot. MashaAllah pizza is amazing. I love the crust. And the pizzas are light, so we got a couple options for me and my family.“

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

“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.“

“Went there to celebrate my father's 70th birthday and it was a blast. All the staff was super kind and friendly especially the manager! They accommodated us and made us feel like home! Food was great ambience very lovely! Would be happy to dine there again!“

“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!“

“Everything great Always great food and service“

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

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

“5 Stars ⭐️ Amazing food but even better service!!! Just fantastic!! Highly recommend!!!“

“Wow what an amazing hidden gem off of Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. The food was incredible. I got the Gnocchi with a gorgonzola mushroom cream sauce. It reminded me of my own mothers cooking maybe even a little bit better...but don't tell her I said that. My gf got the penne arrabiata with chicken and the portion was very large that she had another meal after packing her leftovers. Our server Yadira was very attentive was gave amazing service.

I highly recommend this place. They also have a great take out system if dining in isnt your thing.

Thanks again“

“The servers were attentive but clueless about the wines they offer. When asked the difference between a Tuscan and another type, the waiter thought a long time and answered "the grapes." He couldn't comment on which choice was the driest. They could read up in their spare time, there are lots of evenings when they're not busy. Also, although I hosted 5 people and our bill totaled over $500, they charged a $2.50" split fee" to bring one extra salad plate so two of us could share 1 salad.“

“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.“
