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“

“Fantastic roman style pizza. My new favorite style. Crispy on the bottom and ends, and a great flavor to the crust. Not to thick so it doesnt overload you with bread and the roman pinsa style of fermentation makes it eaiser to digest too! Great creative use of quality toppings and combinations different from many places. Excellent salads and of course nice wines that they can steer you to what may be to. your liking. Chartruitere board for 4 needed more than one type of cheese and would have benefited from one other meat besides mortadella and prosciutto. However all the ingredients were top notch. Inside is quite noisy and the outside patio is nice with it ringed by large plants so you dont see the street. Plus 3rd street here has almost no traffic. Music was a bit loud on the patio to compete with talking but not terrible. Service was very friendly but food came out on the slow side. Restaurant was packed on a saturday night at 6:15 so that may be why as the kitchen is small. But like in Rome, you shouldnt be in a rush when you eat. It's the Italian way. Not a huge menu but many items sounded really good so will need to try again. The tiramisu was great but diffferent. Served in a goblet with the cookies dusted on top it was like more of a pudding with the lady fingers. Other normal versions have more of the cake in layers than this but it was quite good. The pistachio ice cream was also really good too. But really this is one of the best pinsa style pizzas I have had, I have eaten them at many places! So if you come here you need to get the pizza!“

“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“The torpedos are incredible“

“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!“

“I felt right at home here. What a great find in DTLA. Special thanks to Ian for the recommendations and surprises. Excellent from start to finish. The freshest and best ingredients. Especially enjoyed the burrata, freshley baked bread, tomoatoes, and the affogato dessert.“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“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.“

“100% recommend. thank you“

“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“

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

“everything everything was perfect but there are mosquitoes and ac is not good by the window☹one of us is itchy😖the other one is sweaty 🥵 but for the food and service it worths it😛. However, it could be a more pleasant experience 🥺🙁😩“

“Amazing experience all around. This was our 2nd time visiting The Cicada and it's truly a hidden Los Angeles gem. The room is spectacular, the band and singers were incredible, and the food and service are top notch. Overall, just a unique step back in time and wonderful evening!“

“We came in to celebrate my sister’s birthday and we had a really good time. The pizza, the pasta and the salad were so good! We had to order seconds. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and attentive. We would definitely come again and recommend.“

“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 !!!“

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

“Great folks, diverse clientele and awesome 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 and Service was great!!“

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

“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 😋“

“Unbelievable experience! The entire time we felt like family and your can truly tell that the chef pours his heart and soul into his food. Tried the swordfish, pork chop, chicken and dumplings, and pasta… every dish was worthy of a Michelin star! Will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend Bar Becky!“

“Delicious food & heart-warming memories ... that's what Marri's is for me. I have enjoyed their pizza from 1980 (on LB Blvd) through the 90's (in Anaheim), to now (on Palo Verde)... I am ordering now as I write this review (haha). Speaking as a 60-ish Mom/Grandma, I want to say thank you for generational memories. This family will always be your greatest fans!“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“My friend and I had an amazing time at the Soul Sunday Brunch! The food from Taste with Grace Catering was absolutely delicious, and the soulful tunes by JSaundi got everyone on their feet dancing. The wine and champagne were delightful too. Jesse and Saundra Adams made a fantastic duo; Saundra's singing was incredible, and her husband really brought the energy with his groovy saxophone skills. We can't wait to go back!“

“Awesome Place to Eat Italian food“

“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.“

“Muy bueno recomendable todo mundo es bienvenido“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“Outstanding food and wine!! Thank you, Lorenzo!“

“Lapaba is owned and partnered by famous restauranteurs Nancy Silverton, Tanya/Joe Bastianich, and Robert Kim and led by husband-wife chef McKenna Lelah and Matthew Kim who met at Osteria Mozza. Lapaba certainly flexes its expertise in Italian cuisine, however as many other reviewers have pointed out, the menu offerings and execution misses the mark of Italian-Korean fusion. I loved the open kitchen concept and the long bar seating. Our server for the night was not the warmest person nor cared for whether we were enjoying our experience but was otherwise attentive.

We were somewhat disappointed to find that all their cocktails were exclusively soju based without any information about their source and were relatively simple. I got G-ma's Boricha which I felt was very mild in flavor from both the soju and barley tea perspective.

Starters: 1) The milk bread had a great crust and soft inner texture. The choice of black garlic and honey buckwheat for the butters hit the Korean fusion goal. 2) The scallion pajeon was probably my favorite dish of the night with a crispy texture contrasted with the creamy and savory leek fondue.

Pastas: 1) The radiatori and galbi jim was probably my least favorite dish. The pasta overcooked, the texture of the meat did not feel like short ribs, and the addition of red wine made the ragu nowhere near reminiscent of the sweet and rich flavor of galbi jim. 2) The agnolotti and cheesy corn was delicious in its own right (can't go wrong with brown butter), but that gooey melted mozzarella we're used to seeing in the popular Korean BBQ side dish was missing among the pool of melted butter fat. 3) The orecchiette and sausage was my second favorite dish of the night and probably captured the essence of Italian-Korean fusion the best.

Dessert: I was extremely excited to try the tiramisu-garu but felt like I could not taste the misugaru nor makgeolli at all (understandably the former is pretty light in flavor to begin with). Rather, I was getting mostly the powdery black matcha flavor with every bite. I think incorporating more misugaru (or entirely switching to injeolmi - a more flavorful, sweet, and nutty powder) as the egg yolks are double boiled and then folded into the whipped mascarpone and cream could potentially add the flavor I was craving for in this dish.“

“何を食べても美味しいよ“

“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!!!“

“The restaurant has authentic Italian cuisine and atmosphere!“

“Had a really enjoyable experience here! The noodles were flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right, with a great balance of seasoning. The service was quick and friendly, and the staff made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The cozy setting was a nice bonus too. Definitely a place I’d be happy to visit again!“

“Ordered to-go through their website. Everything went out smoothly. My order was ready when I got there so I just had to park, checked in, and had my food delivered to my car in 1 minute. The food was delicious. The pasta portions a bit smaller than previous visits to other locations but big enough to satisfy the craving. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I've always thought that we should get at least 4 breadsticks for online orders instead of 2.“

“Excellent food and Bartenders.(service!)“

“😋👍good food .and friendly staff“

“A very typical OG experience. The one thing that frustrates me is that we always order the endless breadsticks and refillable boat of Alfredo sauce and I swear they are trained to never ask if you would like a refill on either lol... You have to ask each time and then wait 10 minutes. Just keep em' coming please 😀“

“Really good service and food!!“

“Had a delicious Supreme sandwich so delicious also had broccoli salad and macaroni salad 😋 so delicious ❤️“

“BEST NEW YORK PIZZA IN LA!!! The crust was perfect. Huge slices that don’t flop when you fold it. The garlic knots are heaven. Crispy bottoms slathered in olive oil and garlic. And the vodka sauce pasta is such a comfort food. Filling, huge portions. The owner is an awesome guy who put his dreams and energy into this place. Awesome event space!“
