50 Best Italian Restaurants near Lynwood

“Muy bueno el servicio la comida lo mejor“

“I’ve been coming to Chico pizza since age of 2 years old..I’m in my 50’s now…Chicos is the best pizza ever. I’ve tried many pizza places. It’s the same food quality and the building is exactly the same. I hope they don’t change anything from the ceiling to the walls because it will feel like a part of my childhood would leave. I’m upset because they close early now. I used to get a late night pizza before midnight on weekdays. Now they close at 930. I’m a very finicky eater and I tell anyone. If you want to get me food. You can never go wrong with Chico Pizza“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“What a gem — and it's just one block from my home in downtown LA! Claudio, the owner, is so vibrant and welcoming; you can tell how much pride he takes in his restaurant. The food is incredible — simple, authentic, and full of the true flavors of Italy. Every bite transports me right back to Positano. I absolutely love coming here — it's my little piece of Italy in the city! 🇮🇹❤️“

“Got the Giulio sandwich. The small was still pretty big and decent price. The meats were fresh and the bread was soft. The staff was really nice.

The food can take awhile to make given it's so busy during the lunch rush. The market itself is nice for getting many Italian items like olive oil, fresh pasta and tinned fish.

The outdoor seating is nice but also next to a busy street so it can get loud.“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“100% recommend. thank you“

“We celebrated my wife's birthday on Saturday, Dec 20 at the Cicada, this was our first time in this restaurant/lounge. We loved it, everyone was very nice and attentive, the service was amazing. We had the opportunity to have Lupe as our attendant, and she was very attentive and prompt with our meal and drinks. I highly recommend this place, the live band was great and the dancing supper.
Highly recommended.“

“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“Food was great. Service not so much. We were in a rush to make a theater performance and told the server, asking if we could realistically get served and out within 30 min. She said yes. Unfortunately she didn't take our order right away and the food was delayed. We had 5 min to eat. She was not kind about it. Will go back when we have more time, since the food was good. The place is a bit loud.“

“What a discovery!!! Trattoria Daly is great! In fact it's a real "find" in Lincoln Heights-- just east of downtown but totally convenient. So nice to be in a non-corporate friendly setting in a restaurant run by great people who care about their customers and are proud of what they offer. This neighborhood gem will attract foodies and friends and harkens the beginning of a mini-restaurant row near downtown, Keck Hospital, Dodger Stadium, among other neighborhoods in various directions. The owners were for many years part of the team at Pacific Dining Car-- these guys are well acquainted with high end service and food. What they've established in the past six months, is a friendly local spot with top quality food and service-- for unbelievably reasonable prices. The bill of fare is Italian-- excellent starters, super pastas, and entree's like rib-eye steak, salmon. You can also do a simple pizza night-- or make it a special occasion. I've spent a LOT of time in Italy, and I'm picky about Italian food. This is an excellent kitchen! The general atmosphere is like a "discovery" of that little off the beaten track gem. But word must have gotten out-- when we dined there on a Sunday night, the place was hopping! The visible to the house skilled kitchen was keeping up with the crowd of happy diners. Two decades of Pacific Dining Car (which didn't survive covid) made these guys the pros they are. You shouldn't have to "sell a kidney" to eat well-- and this place is proof. They are in process and waiting for their liquor license -- but you can bring your own vino-- (or pick up something at the Smart & Final down the street.) It's great to see professionals who are really good guys stir up the right ingredients-- warmth, welcome, excellent food, and outstanding service, and ample evidence that the American dream is still alive. Can't wait to go back!“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“Loved this place! Went for brunch on Saturday. Such awesome servers, and such amazing food. The French toast with the cinnamon brioche is truly one of the best French toasts I’ve ever had. The chicken and waffles is fantastic too! Would definitely come back“

“I've never been there but i have to say i love what they doing and hopefully we'll get to know each other and taste the beautiful pasta dishes“

“Great Food, Great Service...“

“It's delicious. The price is also right.“

“I would describe De La Nonna as an elevated pizza restaurant. As with most pizza joints, they serve up beer, salad and pizza, but this not your standard fare.

Start off with a craft beer, wine, or a fancy cocktail (or mocktail). Lots of choices to be had.

For starters, we ordered the market salad which had a fantastically light tangerine(?) dressing. The dressing on the ceaser salad was a bit heavy, but it was still tasty.

The eggplant caponata appeared to have been lightly fried and coated in a sweet and savory sauce. Very good.

As for the pizzas, all were insanely good. Each was like a pillowy soft deep dish pizza and they all came with the best crispy edges.

IMO the roasted mushroom pizza was the best — and I'm not a fan of mushrooms.

Prices are a bit higher than you would find at a typical pizza place, but again, these are not your typical pizzas. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere, chill.

Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate customers with celiacs.“

“An organization I’m a part of was looking for a place to gather afterwards. I reached out to multiple locations, Ian was the most responsive and excited to host us. He was accommodating to our group of ~30 people. He and the staff were so friendly and took care of orders quickly. Will definitely be back for dinner and drinks!“

“Great food in a sketchy area. Between people yelling at me out of cars, aggressive barking dogs, and semi trucks blowing through stop signs, I didn’t feel particularly safe.

However, the pasta at Barrio is incredible. The vodka rigatoni with ground sausage was absolutely perfect and adding burrata only made it more so. You get a ton of burrata for the $5 add-on price and it was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. The pesto pasta was okay, I’m not the biggest pesto fan and it tasted like a mouthful of grass to me. The bread appetizer wasn’t worth it, the bread wasn’t warm and didn’t appear to be freshly baked.“

“Great folks, diverse clientele and awesome food!!“

“😋Delicious Italian Homemade Food“

“What a fantastic discovery. I was craving calzones and used to have a spot in Los Feliz which I would go out of my way for. After trying a few places which fell short of the mark in South Bay, I almost gave up on finding authentic Italian food locally. The search was worth it as this is now going to be one of my forever places to come on a regular basis. From the calzone, to the pizza, salads and even the Cannoli Siciliani Pistacchio, everything has been nothing short of amazing. To top it off, it’s family run and they are all the sweetest and most warm people I’ve encountered at any local restaurant. If you haven’t tried them yet, you need to stop by.“

“（Spicy Honey Pie） ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thin crispy crust + pepperoni + honey drizzle, sweet and spicy flatHeng is super addictive!Must order!Cons: Too small, not enough for two people to share ($22). Rigatoni Vodka ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sauce is rich and a perfect blend of cheese and tomato, but you can get tired of eating too much of it. Garlic Shrimp⭐⭐⭐ The shrimp were fresh, but the portion was small (only 5 for $18) and the garlic flavor was not prominent enough. Tiramisu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the right amount of wetness, coffee liquor flavor, LA Top 3 level! But open until midnight, one of LA's few delicious late night snack options.“

“Food was amazing, spot on. Great comfortable service. Really nice experience!“

“The food is INCREDIBLE and the products are beyond amazing!!!“

“Food was delicious! Focaccia with anchovy dip was my fave although the carrots were a close second!

We were walk ins and it almost seemed like they wouldn’t be able to seat us so probably best to make a res on the weekend. Other than that the service was on point and the open kitchen was nice to see the masters at work with such a confident demeanor!

Highly recommend!“

“Great family experience for our huge group. They accommodated us in our own private room so we could visit without interrupting the rest of the diners.“

“Pssing through. Hilton Hotel in Montebello said tgey had the best pizza around. Very true. Loved the New York.“

“Excellent restaurant italien authentique au cœur de LA downtown. Délicieux !!!“

“Whether you get it to go or dine-in. ALWAYS amazing! Chef always makes you feel at home. My absolute favorite Italian Restaurant. P.S. every picture has been a different occasion 😋“

“Aren’t too many good places around Frederick but Ricci’s is in the top 5. Great food. Always fresh and delish! Best time to go is when Tristan (and his brother) and Roxanne are behind the bar. Good food great drinks, great time!!!“

“Awesome Place to Eat Italian food“

“I was so excited to see that they had this sandwich shop in the US only a couple months after my trip to Italy. I tried the Paradiso for a direct comparison and while it was delicious, it wasn't quite as fresh as the one in Florence. However, I came again with a buddy here and we split the Mamma Mia & the Broadway (with added prosciutto). Both were exceptional. The Mamma Mia was good in a traditional way with strong truffle flavors, and the Broadway was so unique with the pistachios for crunch, spicy zucchini, sun dried tomatoes and arugula. I highly recommend both“

“Muy bueno recomendable todo mundo es bienvenido“

“I want to share my heartfelt appreciation for Javon, whose kindness and dedication truly made our Thanksgiving event unforgettable. We hosted a gathering for more than 75 residents, and Olive Garden catered our meal. The food was wonderful, but we noticed one item was missing. I reached out, but with so much happening, I wasn’t able to follow up.

What happened next genuinely touched me: Javon arrived in person before the event even ended, carrying the missing item, a gift card, and a warm, sincere smile. It wasn’t just the fact that he fixed the mistake—it was the care, the thoughtfulness, and the effort he put into making things right. In the middle of a busy holiday week, he still made us a priority.

Because of him, the party flowed beautifully, and our residents enjoyed a truly special celebration. His gesture meant more than he probably realizes. The event was a success not only because of Olive Garden’s food, but because Javon went out of his way to ensure we were taken care of.

Thank you, Javon. Your compassion, professionalism, and heart made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful. 🙏❤️🍝“

“We go because of vic the bartender.He's got the greatest personality.He's very knowledgeable what he does.And I don't even go sit at a table.I go straight to the bar.I consider him a friend.We know each other's family well, at least he knows mine.We know what each other does for a living.We know what each other does on our free time.I go there because it feels like home.Thanks Vic. Went there tonight and had another amazing strawberry Pina Colada and shrimp and chicken Carbonaro was bomb.“

“😋👍good food .and friendly staff“

“Il Saggio Italian Restaurant is honestly SUCH a vibe. The staff was super sweet and made us feel welcome the second we walked in. And okay… the robot waiter? Adorable. It rolls around with a giant plate of shredded Parmigiano like it’s on a mission to make cheese lovers happy. Iconic behavior.They even have olive oil and balsamic already on the table, which is elite. And the fresh bread? Bro… that stuff was heavenly. I could’ve eaten 10 pieces.Me and my colleague got the spaghetti bolognese and then tiramisu for dessert, and everything slapped. The pasta was rich and comforting, and the tiramisu was chef’s kiss — light, creamy, and actually perfection.Overall, Il Saggio is 10/10. Great food, great vibes, great people. I’d definitely go back.“

“Food and service was great.“

“何を食べても美味しいよ“

“Food is delicious and service is fantastic. One of my favorite restaurant.“

“Worst Alfredo Sauce ever! Extremely disappointed. I'm not sure what happened to them, but I'm guessing they ran out. And someone tried to put some together quickly with milk and water. Because that's exactly what it tasted like. And so expensive too. Huge let down....“

“Excellent service, great food, too bad there wasn't extra room in the parking area.😊😊“

“Great food..Great service I'll be going back“

“I have been meaning to say thank so much for catering to people with allergies. I came in worried about eating out cause I can’t have gluten, and as it turns out I did not get sick because you guys were extremely careful with my order. Thank you so much. I will be coming back to order again some day when I am in town.“

“My husband and I went to San Antonio Winery to celebrate our 25th Anniversary, having served their wine at our wedding, so long ago. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun, and we ended-up taking home a couple of wine bottles to enjoy at a later date. One of the owners was working in the winery store and was most hospitable, chatting with us about his family's history and asking about our own family and what tastes we enjoy. He set us up with some wonderful tastings that really opened-up our palates.“

“We wanted to put a twist on Canadian bacon and pineapple extra large. Instead of Canadian bacon we asked for sausage and beef meatballs chopped with additional mushrooms. It was a pretty big pizza for only 28 something with tax. $3 per extra topping. It was delicious!“

“Excellent food and Bartenders.(service!)“

“We came as a party of 18. Sadly we were seated in a crammed space, spoke to management and they helped us move into a more comfortable table. Henry was our server, he was very nice, very patient and over all a great server. Managed to get everyone’s food and drinks out as ordered in a timely manner. Food was as expected. Again thanks for the experience.“

“The food and the high quality customer service is amazing.
The server was incredibly polite and was able to recall everything ordered.
She remembered who ordered what and made my group feel welcomed. We felt truly appreciated and valuable.“
