50 Best Italian Restaurants near La Verne

“Although reservations should be planned in advance otherwise the sitting could take about 45 minutes to an hour but well worth the wait From the outside the cozy Italian atmosphere that is both energetic and intimate while delivering quality Italian food that is as creative as it is traditional.

We started off with the Bacon wrapped dates with a balsamic vinegar glaze and an arugula & gorgonzola salad
WithThree meatballs, marinara & alfredo sauces

You would be remiss to not pair at least one pasta, our pick was Fettuccini in a creamy cheese sauce with chicken
and Braised beef short rib with carrots & peas in a Chianti sauce absolutely delicious’s
Closing the evening with
Chocolate lava mousse cake with vanilla ice cream and traditional spumoni ice cream

An evening of creating memories cheers to Allegro La Verne“

“great food and service! family owned. great pizza sandwiches and salads!!“

“My favorite place for pizza and salad! The pizza is always thin and well cooked, not thick and doughy like other places! I love their salads always fresh and crispy, and they have the best house vinaigrette. I love their meatball and eggplant Parmesan sandwiches, and the pasta is really good too. I miss having my real estate office across the street since we moved to Glendora. Us realtors at KALEO used to go there to get their lunch special all the time during the week, or for office meetings. The service is always good, great prices, and they are always quick to take your order and get your food out quickly.“

“My first time eating here and I absolutely loved it. The pasta dish I had was amazing. It was wine Wednesday and we took advantage of that. Our server was a sweet heart and explained to us any questions we had about the menu. The whole experience was great and I will definitely be back❤️“

“Food and Sevice was good!!“

“Location formerly was El Appetiz. Jary’s has brought it back. Good portions great tasting food. Pizza, Calzones, lasagna, chicken shrimp jambalaya, salads are all excellent. Better to call it in & pick it up. It’s a Hidden secret.“

“What !!!!!! All the way around excellent ? Bartender Nelson was the greatest., super great service, drinks delicious, pizza delicious ? we just loved it, we do not need to go all the way to LA to be in a trendy beautiful looking place like this. Thank you guys we will be back .“

“I remember when they first opened... I had a bad experience and I stayed away for 3 years. The issue was the Counter Service in the bakery the Lady seemed irritated and impatient. So I took my business elsewhere.

I am happy to report that I have since returned and have to say their Italian Sandwich is one of THE BEST I have had in California since leaving Boston (over 30+ years ago) all the ingredients were fresh and that BREAD! OH MY LAAAWWRRDD so chewy and soft on the inside and not to hard on the outside. Truffle Brownies are nice, the selection of cheeses here makes this an convenient one-stop shop for those on this side of town. I also love their selection of cookies perfect for making up a dessert tray.

Whenever I am making a "housewarming welcome" basket I will come in and grab some of their San Marzano Tomato sauce, select one of the homemade pasta's they have and place a slab of Italian cheese to balance it all out.

BTW the counter service has greatly improved.

Respectfully Reviewed.“

“Hey guys i forget say, we never no waiting for long time, we when and get in, seat and our server was there ready for all, I order, calamari, (entrées) garlic bread, salad, soup, I order salmon was perfect size with vegetables, my favorite eat a soup, my husband order shrimp pasta, Mouhamed S, was great and give us good attention.. Thank You“

“Love this place. You feel welcomed from the moment you walk in“

“Best appetizers in town! Food was amazing“

“I just order pizza from here from now on. Super good super good price“

“Found this place not too long ago, just a small pizza place with an A rating. I'm always looking for great pizza and this place has it! if you like lots of cheese on your pizza you'll want to try this place. The pepperoni is cooked just right and the crust I asked for well done PERFECT! If you're a pizza connoisseur give this place a try.“

“Great food and great service! What more can you ask for!“

“The food was good, the waiter and staff were very friendly. It was busy unfortunately a side effect of good food. We were surprised that trivia is no longer free so if you choose to play that keep in mind you will need to pay for it. That is my only complaint. I would lower their score as a result however they did waive the cost for us. I really hope that olive garden makes it free again.“

“Disappointed in salmon pesto linguine. No pine nuts. Not nearly as good as in past. My 100 year old friend asked for small dish of gnocchi and we were told it was impossible. Both food and service have gone downhill“

“The best italian restaurant“

“You can’t go wrong, just close your eyes and pick something you won’t be disappointed.“

“Spicy Red Pesto Vodka Linguine with shrimp 🤤“

“I've been a Vince's customer all my 70 years. Not your typical Italian restaurant, just a spaghetti house, although the menu has been expanded recently to include lasagna. Always good, family friendly, just don't get hungry for spaghetti on Wednesday. To my knowledge they've never been open on Wednesday.“

“Overall it was a good experience. I enjoyed the salmon and coffee. The garlic bread was also very tasty. The dining room is dimly lit, which I prefer, and the music was pleasant, if a bit on the loud side. Business was slow and service was prompt.“

“Everything was fabulous atmosphere, service food was amazing great drinks“

“We enjoyed the nepb special even though neither of us ate too much.
The manager took good care of our dietary restrictions (we keep kosher/halal to an extent).
Our waitress Julissa was exceptional, we really felt comfortable with her level of service and family like attitude. The other servers who took care of us were also all great. The salad was customizable, and we were both fully satisfied with everything.
Olive Garden has reasonable price but I've always had great experiences going.
We also got a portion for takeout, so that's tomorrow's lunch sorted.
Left feeling full to the brim and very satisfied from everything.“

“Love the family style dining ❤️Great spot for celebrations“

“Thanks Guys for the food it is a fun time I will come back on next Friday to get the chicken n fries and mushroom pizza when I’ll see you guys soon.“

“First time here. We saw a review on facebook and decided to try it out. Very small place but cute. We walked in and was left standing not knowing if we sit ourself and there were several tables that needed to be cleaned off. An elderly lady looked at us and did not acknowledge us so I said, shall we seat ourselfs? The lady was the owner Angela, which seemed like she was taking orders, serving and making food. We sat down with no menus and my husband had to get up and go to the counter and Angela just said can I help you? Wow. We never even got our water until 1/2 hour later. We sat at a table next to the womens bathroom and the area smelled a little of sewer which was not enjoyable. Finally she took our order. We ordered a small pepperoni pizza and shared a antipasta salad which was very good and the pizza was good. My hubby ordered to go an sausage & pepper sandwich. The sandwich not so good. It was very salty and the sausage tasted old. Service was extremely slow. We are not sure if we will give it another try or not based on our experience.“

“I am so happy to have a Claro in my neighborhood! I was so lucky at my last visit to get canolni freshly assembled! My sandwich was yummy enough, but something was off? The bread is not the same! Oh, please bring back the good stuff!!! PlEASE!!!“

“my favorite is the Regina!“

“Not sure about service or atmosphere, I ordered online and doordash delivered. Seemed a bit pricey. However after eating it, I understand the price, all fresh ingredients and pretty awesome taste. Next time I will go eat inside to avoid the crazy delivery service cost. But will definitely be eating again! You can tell they make it with love and experience.“

“Got the Lasagna it was amazing! We also got side of garlic bread which was very good! The gentleman that helped us was very attentive and nice, I was surprised that it wasn’t that busy, I definitely will be back.I want to try other things on their menu!“

“Best pizza in town, best pizza in the IE, I'm a long time customer ? ???? and even though I moved from Chino I keep driving ? back. Good job New York Pizza keep the quality coming????? besides the food being great, the service is also great great employees, great staff.“

“Ordered 3 cold cuts & a meatball & sausage yesterday in honor of the Dodgers winning game three , I assumed they would ? any Kendal took my order over the phone she was great explaining the ingredients of the sandwich I was thinking what a great personality unfortunately it’s rare these days , when I got there I was met by I believe Cassidy hope I’m getting that right , both girls are awesome when they asked if I wanted any sweets to go with my Oder, My girl specifically told me don’t get any sweets ?, the girls packed up a few samples , my girl loved them ♥️, thank you so much girls again you guys are awesome!? oh and the coconut pastry is amazing ?“

“If you miss pizza from east coast (NY/NJ), this is where you'll find it. Family owned, casual atmosphere and no frills
pizza joint serving up authentic NY style pizza. Also pasta and deli sandwiches, italian ices, italian cookies and black/white (americano) cookies. Food is consistent, attentive service... definitely made me a regular.“

“every time I've gone there I've never been unsatisfied great atmosphere Top notch service very pleasant experience“

“Everybody complaining about high prices. Well, you voted for it! $20 minimum wage means $50 pizzas. Get it now? I’m glad I don’t live in that communist state! No wonder everyone’s moving out. Hope they go up even higher after kamaltoe wins.“

“The food is yummy and the owners are nice .“

“Good service and good food“

“Pretty good subs. Like the roasted red peppers and capers; definitely not for everyone but I enjoyed them. Breads are made there and the rolls are hard; which is proper for good Italian bread. Real Italian bread is on the firm side, always has been. Don't expect a soft sponge, that's not proper bread for a sub. And don't worry it's not like stale or nothing. You won't get an old flavor in the bread just a different texture if you're not used to it because you grew up in the states. Excellent cold cuts, no gristle, not super wet, good quality. As an Italian American who grew up in Philly I greatly appreciated the joint. Will be back. Only criticism is the wait times. If they are busy them expect to wait“

“Had a great dinner! Ordered online and picked it up at the exact time promised! Fast and friendly! Next time I will try dinning in!“

“Chefs are amazing and the wine choices are amazing“

“best wings so far, and we had the potatoes wedges they were good. and their Ranch is very creamy and good“
