“My sister lives here, I'm visiting here from Kentucky. Always a dinner to order one night while I'm visiting. So delicious! Highly recommended and they deliver!“

“I'm one of the few people that is not a big pizza fan. And often ordering a sandwich from a pizza chain can be disappointing. Not here! The turkey sub was delicious. And I know a thing or two about turkey sandwiches. It's one of my favorite foods.“

“80's lunchboxes on the walls, a variety of unique sandwich pairings; bread that isn't found anywhere else and an assortment of various toppings to make your sandwich taste even better. 10/10 recommend and try something new every time you go!“

“Leslie has been fantastic every time I’ve come. I come basically daily and she has been the best. Amazing customer service and amazing quality in food. I’ll continue to come back

Kid-friendliness: Leslie has been amazing every time I’ve come here.“

“Great tasting Italian food that’s consistent from the previous Andres. I strongly recommend this place for their spaghetti….“

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

“One of the best neighborhood restaurants in Sherman Oaks. The owner is so genuine and personable that every meal there feels like a family meal. I love the pasta here and they always give you complimentary Tiramisu that's to die for. Highly recommended“

“The food is very good. 5 stars. The waiter's service is very bad. I hope when I go back. I won't let him serve me definitively“

“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!“

“Very friendly neighborhood deli/diner. Delicious food served from the counter. Plenty of seating so you probably won't have to wait.

Parking: There is much more seating than parking, but you can just feel that many folks walk there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.“

“My husband and I tried this restaurant today and we were very happy with the food. The chef took our order and took the time to explain that the lasagna recipe is from his mother. The lasagna sauce was amazing and so was the Diavola pizza. Very authentic and intimate restaurant. Great place for a date night, or quiet dinner with friends.“

“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!!!“

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

“excellent food great food great service and my family are so happy and excited to be having dinner at this beautiful restaurant ❤️ loved“

“Eaten from here several times recently, all near closing. The food was really good, we got birria tacos and burritos, and they were delicious. The oreo shake was good both times and the churro was tasty as well. Staff is very friendly and this seems very family run. Didn't eat in, but theres adequate seating and room for wheelchairs. They are currently doing a toy drive for kids which is very sweet. Recommended“

“First time trying this place with my wife, and it was definitely an experience. We tried the regional tasting menu because we had never tried beef tartar before and wanted to try something new. It's definitely not our favorite, but that's not the fault of the food or service. It was mainly us just not having the taste for tartar. Overall, the pastas on the regional tasting menu were an average score of 4.25/5 between each other. The atmosphere was relaxing and the service was good. Great wine recommendations for the menu or dish you're trying, and we will definitely be coming back in the future. Colin was our server, and he definitely did a great job . If he sees this review, give yourself a pat on the back. You're great, and we'd love to see you again!“

“wait staff very responsive to our requests…. home cooked food at a decent price! a winner!!!“

“By far, the best pizza around, and super-nice owner and employees. Have recommended Napoli's to every local Facebook group I belong to.“

“Wonderful! Beautiful setting!Relaxing atmosphere! Great service!“

“Il Nido offers a delightful dining experience, featuring excellent Italian cuisine and a well-curated wine selection. Set in a cozy neighborhood venue, it promises a warm welcome and great service, all without any pretension. It's the ideal spot for those seeking genuine Italian food in a comfortable atmosphere“

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

“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.“

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

“Great staff. Great food. Vegan options!“

“This place is a legendary gem in the SFV. The new owners have done an incredible job keeping with the original menu and adding their own love to the menu. The Minestrone soup is the greatest soup I’ve ever had. My mouth waters thinking about it. The pizza, and sandwiches legit. I highly recommend Casa de “

“The food is so delicious! Very Euro! It reminds me of my grandma's home cooking! The owners are so courteous and professional. I highly recommend this hidden gem in the valley!“

“Found this Italian spot that's more hidden than a secret pizza recipe. Inside, it's all buzzing, mostly with folks who seem to know the owner like they're old pals. Food is top-notch - from the steaming minestrone to the personalized fettuccine, all cooked to perfection. Plus, you won't have to break the bank to enjoy a meal here. One visit and you're hooked - it's that kind of place. Can't wait to head back!“

“Been going to this restaurant for years. The food has always been good, particularly the pizza.“

“I’m on vacation with the family and really needed some higher quality food before heading back home. Fabrocini’s was recommended by friends that live here. The food and service were both 10/10. Our table ordered the Gnocchi with marinara, Pesto with Chicken, Margarita Pizza and Calzone (for the kiddos), and multiple appetizers. The kids stuffed themselves as did everyone else. If you can fit it, try the lemon sorbet!“

“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.“

“This was our first time to had fantastic Birthday dinner for my husband. We sat outside and watched people walking by while we enjoyed truly great foods. We felt the cozy like home feeling ambiance throughout. If you are looking for fancy luxurious place, this restaurant is not for you. However if you are into nice warm atmosphere with genuine quality of Italian cuisine, you are right on with Trattoria del Sole & Market del Sole! Dawn & Dale“

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

“As a 4th generation Italian cook, the food is ok...but it DEFINITELY fed my child after his track practice and there was a fundraiser.

Parking: The parking directly in front of the restaurant is tight but to the side it's a bit easier.

Kid-friendliness: I've an 4 kids (3 teens and 1 pre teen) my preteen is autistic, when it's busy it can be too loud but to others it's a normal teens gathering loud. It's down the street from a high school, so yes it can be crowded and loud.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“Went there to celebrate my father's 70th birthday and it was a blast. All the staff was super kind and friendly especially the manager! They accommodated us and made us feel like home! Food was great ambience very lovely! Would be happy to dine there again!“

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

“So happy to have tried Sugo! I only dipped my toes into the flavor pool ordering only the French Fries and the Meatballs and sauce! Having had an Italian Chef for a Father, I grew up being able to tell good Italian flavors from a simple dish like Meatballs and Sauce (gravy)! Both were excellent from Sugo! Hot from heat, great texture and fine flavors and plenty of food! I'm looking forward to delving deeply into the menu next time! The rest of the family dinner was a hit with everyone too! Great food for the price! I highly recommend Sugo!“

“Everything great Always great food and service“

“Food was excellent, like top five pastas of my life! The spinach fettuccine was really special and my husband's spicy spaghetti with seafood was really great too! Service was great ! Not sure why it was not more busy on a Friday night, but I was happy to have a quiet date night! Definitely will be back soon !“

“I highly recommend Marcelino’s Italian kitchen, it is my favorite pizza and Italian restaurant! It is very clean and has excellent service. The food is amazing, the pizza is really good, the salads, pastas, and the bread! Very delicious.“

“5 Stars ⭐️ Amazing food but even better service!!! Just fantastic!! Highly recommend!!!“

“Service n food were primo“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“

“I met a few friends at Rosti this past week for happy hour; we sat on the patio and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. Since we ordered just a few appetizers, giving a true review of the food is limited. We ordered mussels, which were fine, bruschetta, which was incredibly delicious, and meatballs. I did not partake in the meatballs, but my friends shared that the turkey ones were not as good as the red meat ones. Our waiter was the highlight if I am truthful, patient, and personable. I hope to try this restaurant again soon to really experience what they have to offer.“

“We went for dinner with the family on a Tuesday night. The place has a high ceiling and is very open - much like an attic space. The counter at the front has a huge refrigerated case with nice looking pastries. We didn't try the pastries. We were seated and the waiter came quickly. She took our drink order and came back for our entree order right after. We all chose pasta. I had the bolognese tagliatelle. My husband had the plain red sauce. My husband reported that his pasta was great. Mine sauce was good but not great. It was soft and lacked depth, or character. The pasta itself was good, not the pasta. My main concern was the noise level. Granted, I'm not young, but the hard floors and high ceilings weren't softened by any soft covers, so it was deafening to me.“

“Good food - great service“

“This is a very cute restaurant and the food is fantastic. The servers were all very friendly. I highly recommend the chilaquiles, it is not a very large portion as I typically would expect of a dish like chilaquiles, so if you’re sharing, order at least one per every two people. It has a very pleasant citrus taste to it and the chips are great. The egg pizza (add bacon) is fantastic. The combination of flavors between the runny egg yolk, caramelized onions, bacon, and cheese all blend magnificently together. I also had the Noa’s cauliflower, which was good but not as amazing as the previous dishes, however that didn’t stop me from eating all of it. The chefs French toast is a bit eggy, but makes a nice sweet finish to brunch. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be eating here again.“

“My husband and I had a WONDERFUL dinner here. The menu is varied, with plenty of sandwich choices, as well as traditional Italian main dishes. We began by splitting a Caesar salad, which was plenty for two. We ordered Bruschetta as an appetizer; they were HUGE (hand sized) and delicious (toasted bread covered with mounds of buffalo mozzarella, diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of a balsamic oil). There were four of them, and we only ate two because we didn't want to spoil our appetite for our main course. My husband had a traditional chicken parmesan which he enjoyed very much. I had a New York steak sandwich that was prepared to perfection. It was so large, the equivalent of two sandwiches. Our server was attentive, and the hostess was very outgoing. With everything going for it (see other reviews), it's surprising that the restaurant was not busy at all (we went on a Thursday evening). Perhaps it is because it is not easily viewable from the street, since it is inside a hotel. You should definitely try this place out; you will not be disappointed.“
