50 Best Italian Restaurants near Granada Hills

“In 2015, I visited Casa de Pizza and I recall the atmosphere was lively, busy and had live music. At the time it was very dark and dimly lit. The food was bomb. 10 years later I had the pleasure of visiting this place again in 2026. The food continues to be high quality and delicious. The customer service was great! I enjoyed how it had good lighting (not too bright but bright enough to see your food) and light music playing in the background. You can also watch sports events there. I truly appreciate this place!“

“Great spot for fresh, fast, and affordable Italian food!

Presto Pasta in Granada Hills is a solid go-to when you want something quick but still delicious. The restaurant is casual with seating inside, perfect for a relaxed meal.

The pizzas are a great personal size and come out fresh and tasty. The garlic knots are delicious — soft, flavorful, and definitely a must-order. What I really love is how customizable the pasta dishes are: you can choose your pasta type, sauce, and ingredients exactly how you want it.

Ordering is super easy online or by phone for pickup, and the food is always ready fast. The staff is friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend Presto Pasta for tasty, affordable Italian food that’s done right“

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

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“I asked my husband to find a cute + cozy Italian restaurant for Friday night dinner date, and we found what we wanted and more! Low lighting, but not so low you can’t read the menu. Quiet enough to hear conversation, but not awkward-quiet. And the service was top notch, nothing about the spot was pretentious, and the food was tasty. The owner (or maybe maître d’?) Vasak was so sweet and greeted us with a huge smile. He had us come to the back to taste all of the wines because I didn’t know which one I wanted, and he brought tiramisu on the house at the end of our meal. The whole staff was friendly and fast, and they all seemed to know the guests who walked in—big smiles, hugs, handshakes, “see-you-in-a-couple-weeks”. We got bow tie pasta with pink sauce and their house made gnocchi with pesto cream sauce; perfectly al dente and perfectly salted. I’m going to bring all of my friends!“

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

“Few weeks ago I was working nearby and after working few hours we must treat ourselves with a nice meal, and consulting with Google maps I decided to try this spot. I know deli places are famous for the sandwiches but I decided to try a burger and I totally made a great choice, the burger was absolutely delicious, and the best part was that I could choose either French fries or from the salad bar, seen the freshness of salads I decided to had my burger with salad, I had artichokes and tomatoes, they were so delicious that the next day I had to go again for lunch, and the 3rd time myself and another 2 coworker ate from this place , they loved it. Personally I loved that tasty burger with salad, if one day I'm around I hope that day comes soon I'll definitely have to try a sandwich. The place has enough room to enjoy a nice meal prepared at the moment, or either to go, the workers are super friendly and they also have a section of cold drinks. Definitely this is a place anyone should try“

“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!“

“If you haven't heard of La Bella Pizza Trattoria Italiana in San Fernando, let me be the one to change that. This little spot may fly under the radar, but the experience it delivers is anything but ordinary.

The food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The Diavola pizza had the perfect kick, and the truffle pizza was rich and indulgent in the best way possible. The lasagna was pure comfort — hearty, flavorful, and clearly made with love. And the tiramisu? Easily one of the best I've ever had. Every single dish that hit the table was delicious.

A huge part of what makes this place so special is Chef Antonio, who hails from Puglia, Italy. He actually came out to greet us personally, guided us through a wine selection imported from his home region, and made sure every detail was just right. He sources many of his ingredients directly from Italian markets and puts his personal stamp of approval on every dish that leaves his kitchen — and you can absolutely taste the difference.

We came as a family to celebrate a birthday, and Chef Antonio surprised us with extra desserts as a special touch. As we were leaving, he said goodbye and gave each of us a warm hug. That kind of hospitality is rare and unforgettable.

If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience with incredible food and a chef who truly pours his heart into everything he does, look no further. I cannot recommend La Bella Pizza Trattoria Italiana enough. We will absolutely be back!“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“Wonderful experience and great 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.“

“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!!!“

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

“This place is a jem!
The Caesar Salad was delicious- the crunch of the panko bread crumbs and lettuce was so satisfying.
We ate the whole thing.
My chicken Marsala and my finances pasta were so good!
We ate the whole thing.
Then, we had the Limoncello Marscapone cake, which was the perfect taste combo of citrus and sweet cream.
We ate the whole thing.
So glad this is in our neighborhood.
And our server, Justin, was the best.“

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

“Quality ingredients and exceptional service with consistency make this a great experience for every visit. There is something for everyone on the menu. The place is approachable, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious and fairly priced.“

“Absolutely fantastic for date night or literally any other dining event you might have!!!! Food was incredible especially the glazed pork belly and the brussel sprouts. AND dessert is an absolute must, everyone needs to try the bread pudding! Good price point for the quality of food and the cutest Mediterranean inspired design.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and charming—perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special night out. The décor and ambiance immediately gave off authentic Italian vibes, making the experience feel genuine and cozy.

The menu is extensive and full of traditional Italian dishes, from fresh pastas and risottos to wood-fired pizzas and classic entrees. I tried several dishes, including homemade pasta and a perfectly baked pizza, and every bite was outstanding. The flavors were rich, fresh, and authentic, with perfectly balanced sauces, fresh herbs, and quality ingredients. You could really taste the care and attention put into each dish.

The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation of the food was beautiful. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. I particularly loved the tiramisu for dessert—it was creamy, perfectly sweet, and a delightful end to the meal.

The staff was exceptional—friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. They were happy to offer recommendations, answer questions, and make sure our dining experience was top-notch. Service was timely, and everything arrived just as we ordered.

The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has a welcoming vibe. Whether you’re coming for a casual meal, a family dinner, or a special occasion, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Italian food. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes, making it excellent value.

Overall, this Italian restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience—authentic flavors, generous portions, friendly service, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“Absolutely amazing restaurant
Started out with appetizer little pieces of bread with seasoning and the marinara sauce you can tell was absolutely homemade delicious
The olive oil oil was and bread matched that of the quality of Italy
the Branzino fish dish was absolutely amazing. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. The carrots were delicious.
My family ordered the medallion steaks were also exceptional
The chicken dish and the seafood pasta was also as good as the rest of the dishes

For dessert, the tiramisu and the tart with vanilla ice cream and the dark chocolate tropics were to die for

Would highly recommend this place if you’re interested in a totally authentic experience that matches the quality of the best restaurants in all of Italy“

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“🥃🙂👍 Jeff is a great bartender!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I ate here before with my family a few months ago and we enjoyed the meal. I forgot about it, until my husband and I were looking for a different Italian restaurant than the usual ones we go to. I remembered Olivia, so we went on a Saturday night where it was considerably more energetic than before. Everyone was welcoming and we were lucky we made a reservation. The arancini was soooo good. It's very hard to find the quality that we experienced in Italy, but Oliva came very close. The Pasta Norma was delicious. The seafood pasta was also very good. The portions were plentiful and service was on point. This is such a warm and welcoming restaurant. I recommend it and can't wait to return.“

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

“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.“

“I’ve eaten at Jon & Vinny’s in Miami and recently visited the Studio City location as well, and both delivered a wonderful, consistent, casual dine-in experience. Great service paired with very, very good food makes it an easy place to recommend every time.“

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

“Excellent service and delectable food! Grace and Roberto made a great team, attentive and timely. Nice big menu kept the whole family satisfied. My parents were staying at the hotel that this wonderful restaurant is attached to so we visited them for this meal but I’m local and will be back here even if I’m not visiting anyone staying at the hotel.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 food and lovely atmosphere“

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

“One of our favorite Italian spots in the Valley. Great food, wonderful service, comfortable spot. Just a great time overall. Our favorite dishes include the capellini with vegetables, the lamb chops... and of course, the beautiful desserts. Last night we enjoyed a wonderfully light tiramisu. A good time was had by all.“

“Trattoria del Sole is a genuinely fine Italian dinner experience. I've always known that the way to tell the difference between an average restaurant and a better restaurant is the way they're calamari is cooked and presented. Calamari was perfect. Tender and mild. The arugula salad was quite fresh. The pasta was definitely in-house made. Perfectly served Al Dante with a spicy sauce that made the dish sublime. I will be back.“
