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“

“Food was better than I expected!! We ordered tuna belly, sooo delicious😋 I was looking forward the Foccacia, it did not disappoint. The bread was so air and light. The pizza was exceptional. Their Italian beer was crisp. I will be definitely returning.“

“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!“

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

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“100% recommend. thank you“

“Mona strikes that rare balance of cozy and intimate without feeling crowded. It was the perfect Friday night date spot for me and my wife with another couple. Great atmosphere, thoughtful space, and a place that makes you want to linger just a little longer while sipping on some good quality wine.“

“The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with rich flavors and carefully prepared dishes that matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly. The cocktails were also expertly crafted, smooth, and enjoyable throughout the night.
Live entertainment added a fantastic energy to the space, making the experience feel lively and unique without losing its sophistication. Service was attentive, professional, and ensured everything went smoothly from start to finish.“

“I met a cute girl🙏 and the food is fuego fuego 🔥“

“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“

“I had a great time at De La Nonna - Arts District. The restaurant had a lively and welcoming atmosphere that made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable from the moment I arrived. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care, with each dish bringing something memorable to the table. The staff was friendly and attentive, helping create a smooth and comfortable dining experience. By the end of the meal, I felt completely satisfied and appreciated the warm energy of the place.“

“😋Delicious Italian Homemade Food“

“Great Food, Great Service...“

“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.“

“We had an amazing experience at Good Clean Fun! We reserved the patio for a small work event. The space was so nice. The food was delicious. I loved the pizzas, honestly some of the best I've had. Their wine selection is great, and they make a great Hugo Spritz.

Also, I have to shoutout Hunter! She was an incredible server. She was so kind, attentive, and flexible when our plans changed.

I wish I lived in LA just to be able to come here regularly! I'm looking forward to coming back whenever I visit.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Parking is a drag here since only paid street parking or parking lot which is a block or across the street (simi illegal). The place is small, clean and bright but packed with great baked breads smell upon walking in. Small menu but great choices of sandwich types. Staff are friendly, nice and helpful. Ordered couple different type of sandwiches. Hot bread and crispy, meats are good and good combination but still lack of something - maybe the hype is abit in a high bar so…but overall good sandwiches with abit high price tags.“

“What an amazing Olive Garden! I have eaten at quite a few, but this one honestly was the best I have ever been to. The staff were so polite, shout out Saira! They also sang happy birthday with such enthusiasm and Saira decorated the plate beautifully with the words “happy birthday” written in cursive using caramel. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the staff and atmosphere were amazing. 10/10 Will be coming again.“

“Awesome Place to Eat Italian food“

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

“Wife and I aren’t typically the biggest fans of fusion, but this spot may have helped changed our mind.

Service was 10/10 for starters. Love that it’s a better so it feels like your server is there for you at all times even when busy. My favorites were the K meatballs, Galbi Jim pasta, and BTS ice cream was legit one of the best desserts I’ve ever had.“

“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!!!“

“Really good service and food!!“

“Attended the Night at the Library birthday celebration at the L.A. library and saw Settecento steps away from the entrance. We made a reservation, while inside the event for 8:30 pm. The hostess at the stand that night was all over the place and people were complaining asking where she went and no one knew, but we all noticed once a line began to build, she would disappear. I would recommend making a reservation just so you have a solid place in line and so you're at least ready to be seated.
Angel our server was fun! We loved his energy, it wasn't over the top and it was very mellow, but also he was on top of everything and checked in with us and gave us great suggestions for drinks, appetizers, entrees. I will say, this place looks fancy and expensive and also a dream. The outdoor seating is like you're eating in a countryside in Europe and not in Downtown Los Angeles. We sat outside and our table featured a sofa as one of the seating options. We had the best girl dinner and were able to catch up over drinks and food and Candlelight and I didn't want to leave. I had the pizza, my sister had the filet mignon and one of us had the pasta .

The calimari was good as the starter and they also had house bread which was so good. The Settecento pizza was my favorite and their pizzas are delicious, light, airy, full of flavor. My sister said her filet was ok but the mushroom sauce was delicious. For dessert, I believe we ordered the Tortino and the Tiramisu and both were great but the Tortino was a little better. I ordered the Toki Pona to drink and couldn't finish it but it was very good.
Definitely recommend eating here to everyone. It's great food, ambiance and our server Angel took great care of us.“

“Muy bueno recomendable todo mundo es bienvenido“

“Excellent food and Bartenders.(service!)“

“😋👍good food .and friendly staff“

“Great food at a good price & service is always fantastic. The last time we went, there was a new server in training & so the service wasn’t great as it usually is, BUT, she was learning on the job, which is the point of training. We will definitely return!“

“Food and service was great.“

“Most of the plates has pork if you really want to enjoy your food and don’t eat pork have only chicken or vegetarian plates, happy hour don’t have much options and mainly has pork the meatballs have pork sausage is pork, the beef ravioli’s w pesto is really good.“

“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 😋“

“Good pizza and variety menu. Mini, 8", available. Great service and staff. I've been a customer for many years and anticipate many more.“

“mas que excelente autentico sabor italiano Servicio de lo mejor 1000%recomendable“

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

“The best pasta I've ever had, and at such an incredible price!“

“We were here a couple of weeks ago and had Jesus as a server..
I didn't think anyone could compare to him!
Well lo and behold... We're back again!
This time we had the pleasure of having ZULI as our server...
I just have to say, Jesus, you have competition!!
Zuli was excellent as well...
Thank you for the great service.“

“The food at Olive Garden was pretty good, but the real reason this visit stood out was our waitress, Catherine.

From the moment we sat down, she treated us with a level of kindness and genuine empathy that you rarely come across. It never felt like she was simply doing her job. You could tell she truly cared about making sure we had a great experience. She noticed the little things before we even had to ask, checked in at just the right times, and somehow made us feel like we were her only table even though the restaurant was busy.

Great service is about much more than getting orders right. It is about making people feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. Catherine did exactly that. Her warmth and sincerity turned an ordinary dinner into something we will genuinely remember. People like her are the reason customers return.

The meal was enjoyable, but it is Catherine’s exceptional hospitality that we will be talking about long after we have forgotten what we ordered. She represents everything you hope for when you go out to eat. Olive Garden is incredibly fortunate to have someone with her level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication. It is hard to imagine anyone leaving her table without a smile.

Thank you, Catherine, for making our night so much better than we expected. You made us feel like guests instead of customers, and that is something that cannot be taught.“
