50 Best Italian Restaurants near Granada Hills

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

“we were lucky to have our baby shower at casa de pizza and joel and eddie are amazing owners. i was getting overwhelmed looking for venues and catering our baby shower, and we were so grateful that casa de pizza were open to having us. from day one, eddie and joel were responsive and put together a really nice menu with a drink package that was EXTREMELY REASONABLE for pricing. the baby shower itself was fantastic - pizza was solid, the pitchers were flowing, and the antipasto salad, wings, and lasagna were delicious. joel was on the floor making sure everyone was taken care of, and i cannot tell you how nice it was to walk in, celebrate, and walk out without having to worry about a thing. they even offered to let come a little earlier to decorate which was a nice gesture.

i also wanted to mention that we live in the neighborhood and have been going to casa de pizza since before new ownership. i've felt that the pizza and pasta are still very good, so i am surprised to read that people aren't satisfied. they've made some very positive changes by opening orders up for online and pick up. if you OG customers remember, we'd all have to fight each other calling the phone line just to get an order in, and it'd take us a solid 20 minutes of hearing the busy tone before getting someone to take our order, wait an hour, then pick it up. change is scary because it's new, but i feel like eddie and joel honor the tradition and respect of what casa de pizza was meant to be - your neighborhood pizza parlor.

we look forward to celebrating future birthdays and events here - they made it so easy and effortless so that we could enjoy our day.“

“I was lucky enough to come in here and instantly enjoy the environment, but one thing I had to try with the chicken piccata I was screaming chicken breast with that lemonade aftertaste fettuccine Alfredo with smooth sauce. Let me tell you that creamy Alfredo sauce? Perfect fit.!!

Have to tell you right now, though once you get down with the strawberry dragon fruit, Italian cream soda the only thing that made me mad? They didn’t have bigger cups.

Hello sitting in this dining room you can read all about this place in history and a good Italian food that they provided a reasonable cost during join the program and add some bang to your buck!“

3 years and the same consistency of delicious Italian dishes and amazing cappuccino with tiramisu.
I rarely see restaurants like this, service that is always inviting you to come back for another dinner and another dinner AND another dinner😀.
Highly Recommend. I want to give this place 10 out of 5 stars.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“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!!!“

“bomb bomb bomb! wont be disappointed“

“Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in LA. My husband and I visit here 2-4 times a month. All the locations are beautiful and unique, but our favorite is Sherman Oaks. It's our home local restaurant, and the entire staff knows us and takes great care of us. It was just our 17th anniversary, and the staff made us feel so special. But then again, they always make us feel special, so we just love everything about this place. Our go-to must-haves are the chicken sliders, fries, and the little gem. And to end the meal, we order vanilla lattes, the best cake and ice cream. It's simply the best!“

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

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

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“Today was my first time coming to this restaurant. I just moved across the street about a month ago. And I had the mozzarella free teeth, and it was very good. It was a nice restaurant, very clean inside very nice looking and the waiter was very friendly and the bartender it was, well, they were all friendly, including the kitchen staff. I recommend everybody to come to this restaurant. Along with family and friends, very nice and very decent“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Great tasting food and very friendly service. The owner Antonio is the best!!! Will definitely be back and highly recommend“

“We went to the coolest little Italian place in the valley for Valentine's on a total whim. The entire place was themed, they had a fun violinist, the wait staff wore Valentine's glasses & vests, they had pink and red lights on the palm trees out front, heart shaped straws... it was so quirky and fun. Service was awesome, like the staff was actually having a good time and glad we were there. The food was AWESOME quality... everything homemade down to the freshly baked heart shaped bread. I don't recall if we've ever really 'celebrated' Valentine's day but going to this restaurant made it feel like an actual holiday. So fun and cute. Also, the prices & portions! Highly recommend to check this place out. Guessing they probably do other holidays as well. Grateful for an unexpected awesome night 🥰🤗“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“First, I want to say that the restaurant is located in a beautiful area. Walking around the neighborhood was incredibly enjoyable and made the whole experience even better.

When it comes to the restaurant itself, I honestly don't have enough words to describe how amazing it was. I found out that the pasta is handmade rather than pre-made, and it's brought fresh from Italy every evening. That surprised me and made dining there even more special.

The pasta I ordered was prepared with white wine. The portion looked a bit small at first, but it was very filling and absolutely delicious.

I would also like to give special recognition to the manager. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, energetic, and made us feel comfortable throughout our visit. We were even treated to a delicious pasta that wasn't yet on the menu, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will definitely come back just for that pasta!

Everything was excellent—the atmosphere, the people, the food, and the service. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I would love to see more seafood pasta dishes added to the menu, and I can't wait to visit again.“

“.  We usually have a very good experience however there was something off this last time. It was towards the end of the evening and they were only a few people left at the restaurant, we had to ask the waitress for our bread four times which was unusual. Otherwise, we appreciated the quiet atmosphere, the very nice wine and high  quality, wine glasses and the good food. We were a little bit disappointed because at the end of the evening we noted we smelled cigarette smoke coming from the back of the restaurant we felt was quite unprofessional. This is the only time we have been at the restaurant. The owner wasn't there and our perception was that there was a step down in discipline among the staff that day“

“Came just before close on a Monday night to pick up a pepperoni. The shop is often bustling during lunch and dinner and the last few orders where getting boxed up as I came in. Grabbed the sodas we ordered and the pizza and headed out.

The pizza is delicious. A crunchy chewy crust throughout that makes you want to dip those crusts and a not too sweet sauce. While greasy, the pepperoni and cheese taste great and the ratio of toppings is perfect. Even the flat parts of curust offer a little crunch as you bite. I'm not an expert by any means but my wife who technically came from Brooklyn as a wee lass gives it a stamp of approval. If I recall correctly we had a couple slices ages ago here and the white pie should not be missed.“

“First time customer. We ordered the Armenian pizza, 2 churros and q 2L coke. Pizza was so scrumptious I'm going back for more!!! The owner is a sweetheart. Very positive vibes and extremely welcoming. Super clean place. Highly recommend 🤗“

“There were 4 of us dining in for a late lunch/ early dinner. It's a very comfortable place with a great menu and awesome desserts. The owner works there and the staff is awesome and friendly. If you want to adjust your selection a bit they are happy to help in any way possible! The portions are good size to share. We love going there and the staff makes it cozy and welcoming. Thank you Antonio's for taking such good care of us and making our visit a wonderful experience. We look forward to our next visit soon!“

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

“Our waiter, McKinzie, is amazing. My work colleagues and I go out for lunch at least twice a month, and we always ask for her. She makes us feel like we're part of the family, not just another table she's serving. Her friendly attitude and outstanding service keep us coming back.“

“I love tomato pie they make pizza how it should be it perfect for take out. The pizza is good crunch and structure not floppy while having good soft crust. The margarita pizza is very good which means there ingredients are good quality because that one is the simplest. I just wish they hade prosciutto as a meat option“

“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.“

“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!“

“It's a long ride to NYC, so we settle for Fernanda's for your New York pizza fix.“

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

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“There is something wonderfully reassuring about an Italian restaurant that does not need to reinvent itself to remain relevant. In an age when dining rooms increasingly chase trends, this historic Woodland Hills establishment is a reminder that authenticity, tradition, and a sense of place can be far more compelling than culinary theatrics.

From the moment we arrived for our reservation, we were warmly received by the manager, whose hospitality immediately established the tone for the evening. The restaurant possesses that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in and established—an atmosphere shaped by years of serving its community rather than one manufactured for effect. It feels like a place with a story.

We began with a couple of Peronis, a fitting aperitivo before dinner, and eventually followed our server's recommendations for two dishes: the Chicken Parmigiano and the fettuccine al porcini.

The Chicken Parmigiano was the undisputed triumph of the evening. It was wonderfully comforting yet indulgent, delivering precisely the kind of soulful satisfaction one hopes for from a classic Italian-American preparation. The dish had the richness and familiarity of something deeply rooted in tradition, and it was easily the plate that left the strongest impression on us. In fact, it is reason enough for me to return.

The fettuccine al porcini was somewhat less successful. The pasta and mushroom component showed promise, but the chicken pieces incorporated into the dish were disappointing in both texture and overall appeal. We brought the matter to our server's attention during the meal, although, unfortunately, all that was offered was for it to be cooked again. From a hospitality perspective, this was a missed opportunity. When a guest offers constructive feedback while still at the table, the most memorable restaurants treat it as an invitation to make the experience better.

That said, perspective is important. One imperfect component does not define an entire restaurant, particularly when so much else succeeds. We came because of a friend's recommendation, and we leave with that recommendation still intact.

What ultimately distinguishes this restaurant is not perfection for perfection's sake, but character. There is an authenticity here that is increasingly difficult to find. The restaurant feels connected to the neighborhood, to Italian culinary tradition, and to the simple pleasure of gathering around a table for a proper meal.

For Woodland Hills and the greater San Fernando Valley, establishments with genuine history and identity are invaluable. This restaurant is, without question, a true asset to the neighborhood.

We will absolutely return and give the kitchen another opportunity to impress us. And when we do, I suspect the Chicken Parmigiano will be making another appearance at our table.

Thank you to the management and staff for the warm welcome and the evening.

Until next time—buon appetito.“

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

“We had wonderful food and service. I had the gnocchi with meat sauce. Absolutely delicious.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve driven past this location on CA-27 dozens of times and always told myself I needed to stop in, so my partner and I finally booked a table last night. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for waiting this long to try it. Walking in, the dim ambient lighting and upscale linen tables set a highly sophisticated yet unpretentious tone. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp, and she got the lasagna; the pasta was cooked to an absolute perfect al dente, and the cream sauce was remarkably rich without being overly heavy. The service was formal and highly polished, though the kitchen did run just a tiny bit slow right at the peak 7:30 PM dinner rush. It’s an absolute hidden treasure in Chatsworth, and the premium quality of ingredients completely justifies the price.“

“The hostess/server was welcoming and had a pleasant smile upon arriving. We were able to pick our own table and was attended right away. Ordered the Fried Calamari to start-lightly breaded with a really good marinara sauce. Ordered the Lasagna-super decadent in sauce and cheese, very good. Didn't feel rushed to leave by staff to accommodate other reservations despite being a Friday night. Wonderful spot if you love a great selection of Italian food. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Will definitely come back in the near future.“

“You need reservations although they have a bar you can sit at but that gets crowded too. As Jon & Vinny’s is popular. They also have outdoor seating with heaters (if needed). A take out window at the back of the building where valet is.

The interior is modern, simple and clean. Every time I come in here idk why but it reminds me of the show “The Bear”. Maybe it’s cause everyone’s on top of it, services is quick, everything is calculated and very organized. I would assume so because they’re always busy and they gotta keep a smooth rhythm which you can tell.

Food is always delicious no matter what you order. Portions are a perfect amount. Pizza’s are 6 thin slices.

My favorite pasta is the Spaghetti Limone and Corn Ravioli two completely different flavors but each an explosion of unique flavors.

My favorite pizza is White Lightning although this time we ordered the pepperoni Little Nat’s which was great too.

Dessert wise all the cookies are great! I love the Nonna’s lemon cookie and the rainbow cookie. They used to have a dessert with olive oil I never got the chance to try it and it’s currently off the menu.

I had my birthday dinner here and enjoyed it!“

“The staff is amazing. Especially Ramon and Garrett“

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

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