“So far the best authentic Italian pizza I have had in 10 years living in USA. And I am Italian so that says enough! Everything was perfect. High quality food. Forza ragazzi 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹“

“I was starting to miss the flavors of home after weeks of eating American food. Luckily, my friend @Massimiliano Russomanno knew just the place to take me. Antonio Sessa's Made in Italy was a delightful surprise. Every bite transported me back to Italy. The food was prepared with such care and passion that it was clear this Italian Chef had a truly deep love for our cuisine. If you're craving authentic Italian food, I highly recommend giving this place a try 🥰🥰👍🏻🫶🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“Great service & dinner was fabulous!“

“Amazingly unique and delicious food, fun atmosphere and wonderful service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“We had an incredible first visit to Casa Nostra! The service was outstanding-from the warm welcome to the attentive care throughout our meal. The manager went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and our server Fabio was excellent, checking on us often and making us feel so at ease and truly valued. We eat out often and love discovering great dining experiences, but this place made us feel genuinely special. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Calamari Grigliati appetizer, Tortellini Di Gamberetti, and the fish special. And to top it all off, we were treated to a tiramisu on the house! I don't usually write reviews, but Casa Nostra deserves a big shout out. We found a new favorite and can't wait to come back with our kids and family!“

“Good food and nice people.“

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

“Four of us went to Tuscany for dinner on Friday night. Made a reservation for 6pm and sat outside. The weather was perfect, the staff was super friendly and the food was great.“

“Friendly people, amazing food. Very nice to their musicians. 🙏🎶“

“Ordered Tamales for the holidays and grabbed a burrito and quesadilla. The asada burrito and steak quesadilla were full of flavor and the salsa had great taste. Can’t wait to try the Tamales.“

“I'm very glad we tried this place. Awesome service, very cool people working there. Amazing vibe inside the restaurant. And the food is authentic, delicious, cooked to perfection, and the portions are excellent sizes. Nothing too big or too little. Kudos . Keep it up! Highly recommended ! Ciao“

“Talk about authentic Italian deserts! I spent more on desert than dinner. The food - service - atmosphere and entertainment were all amazing. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“This restaurant surprised me, fun vibrant atmosphere suitable for adults... not for little kids. Full bar, experienced bartenders who have been working here for years. Food was delicious and well thought out. Parking was easy and plentiful.“

“Absolutely amazing place!! The vegan menu is delicious and full of lots of different items like vegan pizza, vegan eggplant parm and vegan bruschettas and many more. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was amazing. We will absolutely be coming back!“

“Ordered food to go for a baby shower. Food was ready right on time, they loaded into the car for me and were so helpful. The food was delicious with everyone enjoying the choices. Easy to work with and saved time by putting the wonderful food out to serve. Highly recommend!“

“Solid Italian American cuisine can be nearly a local Red Sauce place.

The menu is designed with what you would expect. You have your classic Bolognese to Chicken Piccata, to Chicken Parmigiano. The lunch menu is more concise with limited entrees, but sandwiches adorn the experience.

The dinner menu is far more extensive and inviting. The longer list of entrees includes different Risottos and Seafood, Veal, and Ossobuco. Pizzas are also available.

The dishes are classics for Italian Americans, and Marcello does it very well. The most impressive item is their Fried Calamari. It is simple and executed with care. One of the best examples I have tasted.“

“Had a great lunch at Boccacios - excellent food quality and our server Sam was very attentive

Excellent venue for casual dining and private events .

A great place for special occasions.

Will highly recommend to friends and family“

“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.“

“We had a party of three come here last night, And it was a really wonderful experience. Our food was delicious as we’ve come to expect from Olive Garden. But the highlight was absolutely our waiter, Marcus (If that’s how you spell it). He was incredibly attentive, very accommodating, And had a smile on his face the whole night. My wife is a waitress (And a damn good one) so we really pay attention to service. Give that man a raise!“

“great food and service intimate atmosphere“

“Talk about authentic Italian deserts! I spent more on desert than dinner. The food - service - atmosphere and entertainment were all amazing. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“It was a truly delightful experience, having lunch at Olivios Trattoria. It’s a cozy little Italian spot tucked into a strip mall, but don’t let the location fool you—the food here rivals high-end Italian restaurants.

Usually the salmon with vegetables and a side of pasta is a perfect combination and every bite is outstanding. The salmon was perfectly seared on the outside while remaining moist and tender inside, with just the right hint of seasoning and citrus. The vegetables were fresh, lightly sautéed, and had great texture—clearly not an afterthought. As for the pasta? Cooked al dente, rich in flavor, and coated with a savory sauce that hit all the right notes. Everything felt homemade, not mass-produced.

The atmosphere was relaxed and warm, with attentive service that made the meal even more enjoyable. This place is a hidden gem for Italian food lovers in Simi Valley, and I definitely love to be there to try more dishes.

Highly recommended for a casual yet memorable Italian dinner.“

“Food was reasonable fresh & good just got a sub glad I went here !! Better service & fast then subway which next door !! Looked at menu everything was looking good“

“This place is amazing, some of the best pizza I’ve had from amicci’s. The inside is updated and looks awesome as well, the owners are awesome people and deserve the support of Simi Valley. I suggest everyone try this place out. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Excellent entertainment by Mark Anthony ! Also the food was fabulous !!!!“

“Everything great Always great food and service“

“Great service and food was good“

“I’ve been visiting Mediterraneo as long as it has been open. It is one of my all-time favorite restaurants based on service, amazing menu, quality food, decor, atmosphere, and of course the dessert & bar. Truly perfect for everything from a business meeting, family gathering, or romantic date night. All- around phenomenal-I rate 5-stars. DianeBrewer“

“Fantastic food, Christina and team provide excellent service. Everything is top notch.“

“I did the takeout but I had to have the Pinot pasta with sausage but the chicken dinner which I wish I could remember the name of that special someone ordered? Was one of the best meals I’ve ever seen in my life and ever eaten… I had to have a bite of hers lol! The penne pasta with sausage was beyond yum!“

A fine selection of cheeses, meats antipasto in the deli-case, cookies to canned goods on the dried goods shelves, frozen tiramisu to lasagne in the freezer case. Busy, bustling, yet cozy and friendly. Love everything about our favorite deli!“

“A++++ FOOD AND STAFF ARE GREAT!!!! -ROANESYMON“

“Detroit pizza is Sicilian style pizza. Buddy’s in Detroit is best, two Scicilian friend starte business in early 1940s. This Parma is as close to real Detroit you will get in California. From a Eastside Detroit native.“

“Absolutely delicious pizza! Different styles of pizza are available. I look forward to trying them all. Nice restaurant. Casual and comfortable.“

“Food Recommendations:
The Shrimp Ajillo and Ellen’s Special Panini were absolutely delicious! The shrimp had amazing flavor, though I wish the portion was a bit larger. Pro tip: ask for extra bread to soak up that incredible garlic sauce—worth it!

Friendly and efficient service, making for a pleasant dining experience. Ambiance is cozy and charming, a great spot to relax and enjoy good food.

Overall Experience: 🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I love the tranquility of sitting outside the service greeted me immediately and I couldn’t wait to order the fettuccine with chicken I understand this place is a little further up Scale in price but it’s worth every penny of it the seating is perfectly fenced off with glass windows but channels are nice breeze that gently cools you while you sit sipping whatever apéritif and enjoying the wonderful bread that is accompanied with a fantastic in-house spread. The fettuccine has larger noodles and you’ll be used to put the texture of the creamy wonderful sauce and the chicken fried so perfectly I blended pepper to give it the perfect aftertaste I literally would’ve eaten 20 pounds of this if I could but this is my special place to come every so often it is a Christmas and birthday gift to myself!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Greco’s Pizza! The moment I walked in the door, Ricardo and his wife welcomed me with the warmest, most genuine hospitality. You can instantly tell this is a family-owned spot run by an authentic Italian family, and that makes all the difference. The place is super clean, well-kept, and gives off those classic neighborhood pizzeria vibes.

Now the pizza… WOW. Freshly made, full of flavor, and everything you'd hope for in authentic New York-style Italian pizza. You can’t go wrong here. The crust, the sauce, the cheese—it’s all on point. I left full, happy, and already thinking about my next visit.

Highly, highly recommend!“

“Best pizza in West Hills. Is as close to NY style pizza you can get in the valley.“

“My wife and I hadn’t eaten here in a while. We noticed that they have NFL football on the patio Sunday afternoons with special prices on beer and appetizers. The food was great. We had the meatballs, ravioli, and garlic bread. Our waitress was Felicia, and she was great. They have the NFL Ticket, so they had all the games available. We will definitely be going back.“

“Pizza had a good crust that was crispy on the bottom. We ordered individual pizzas. The sauce is very good. Next time, we will order a large pizza instead of individual orders.

The service is very good and the location is very clesn.“

“I have been going to Chi-Chi’s my whole life!! This would be since the early 70s! They have some of the best food in town! I absolutely love their salads, rolls and pasta! My favorites are their pesto sauce and their meatless sauce!! Everything is homemade! Their pizza is the best!!

Vegetarian options: They have meat free sauces for anything you ask! They have lots of salads! You can get veggie pizzas too! They have potatoes too.

Dietary restrictions: They have half portions, vegetarians options, fish or seafood options etc. They have gluten-free options also!

Parking: They have several handicap spaces and spaces for take out that they come out to your car to bring your order to you in the evenings!
