50 Best Italian Restaurants near Pacoima

“Always supporting our local community District 29 La Chuleta Fresca has the best quality in the San Fernando Valley! Highly recommended Jaime Tapia & Rosie Ortiz Tapia. 🥩🍗👍❤“

“Guido's Pizza is the best all-around. Whether it's the one in Sylmar on Polk and Glen Oaks or the one on Osborne and Glen Oaks. You can never go wrong. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted, and both places treat you with respect.Guido's Pizza was a big hit for my son's school. It was delivered on time for the school party they were having. I ordered two extra large peporoni pizza's and my son said that all the pizza's that were not from Guido's were never touched once.The kids were amazed with Guido's that even the parents asked me where I got the Pizza because they wanted to buy some for the holidays.Five stars to both Guidos Pizza.“

“There was a lovely engagement last night in front of Prosecco’s . Young love, and she said, “Yes!”“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“I asked my husband to find a cute + cozy Italian restaurant for Friday night dinner date, and we found what we wanted and more! Low lighting, but not so low you can’t read the menu. Quiet enough to hear conversation, but not awkward-quiet. And the service was top notch, nothing about the spot was pretentious, and the food was tasty. The owner (or maybe maître d’?) Vasak was so sweet and greeted us with a huge smile. He had us come to the back to taste all of the wines because I didn’t know which one I wanted, and he brought tiramisu on the house at the end of our meal. The whole staff was friendly and fast, and they all seemed to know the guests who walked in—big smiles, hugs, handshakes, “see-you-in-a-couple-weeks”. We got bow tie pasta with pink sauce and their house made gnocchi with pesto cream sauce; perfectly al dente and perfectly salted. I’m going to bring all of my friends!“

“First time and it will be many more visits! The ambiance, divine food & amazing service surpassed my expectations! My friend recommended we go and from appetizers, main course and the dessert 😘❤️😁“

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

“Few weeks ago I was working nearby and after working few hours we must treat ourselves with a nice meal, and consulting with Google maps I decided to try this spot. I know deli places are famous for the sandwiches but I decided to try a burger and I totally made a great choice, the burger was absolutely delicious, and the best part was that I could choose either French fries or from the salad bar, seen the freshness of salads I decided to had my burger with salad, I had artichokes and tomatoes, they were so delicious that the next day I had to go again for lunch, and the 3rd time myself and another 2 coworker ate from this place , they loved it. Personally I loved that tasty burger with salad, if one day I'm around I hope that day comes soon I'll definitely have to try a sandwich. The place has enough room to enjoy a nice meal prepared at the moment, or either to go, the workers are super friendly and they also have a section of cold drinks. Definitely this is a place anyone should try“

“This is the go to restaurant when staying in LA. Food is always perfect. Service is exceptional, and honestly made to feel like family. After an amazing meal Bruce and Rene treated us to the most exquisite desserts that were truely to die for. This was the dining highlight of our US trip from Scotland and the best genuine hospitality we've experienced. Well done to all involved, wish you weren't 5000 miles away from where we live. Can't wait to come back.“

“Antonio the owner is such a sweet person, the ambiance is romantic and peaceful. Now the food is absolutely delicious does not lack in any aspect! The food is authentic, flavorful, and without a doubt delicious! I come here regularly and am never disappointed. Ask for the cacio e pepe with a vino primitivo and to finish it off with a limoncello!“

“My first experience here was good. The submarine sandwich was very delicious, crazy big. More for a family to share. Ordered pizza slices and the pizza is very cheesesy and thick. The pepperoni is a bit on the oily side for me so I ordered the mushrooms and olives. The location is nice. Will definitely be coming back soon.“

“Service was friendly and efficient. Wasn’t too busy for a Tuesday night. We were a large group of business travelers and the servers were always very helpful. Food was good, not mind blowing, but our large group of 10+ collectively agreed this was a nice find and a good meal.“

“Such a great surprise to find homemade pasta and so local…just a few minutes away in Valley Village. Quaint setting with lively Italian music. Servers were delightful and attentive. Started with the most delicious Caeser salad and homemade garlic bread. Our entrees were all stellar—especially the lemon ricotta ravioli. Loved the reasonable portion sizes. Too full for dessert, sadly! Perfectly paired Italian wines, too. Will definitely return!“

“Thank you all very much see everybody soon My Respect God Bless you and your family the food was great ❤️🙏🏻🥋“

“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“

“We walked in for an early dinner on New Year’s Eve and didn’t have to wait long for a table even though they were quite busy. The food was ok. Our cheesy garlic bread appetizer was the best part (of the food). What made this a great experience was learning that our waiter and all the servers take turns singing. They are all VERY talented and it was such a memorable evening.“

“Really good classic Italian food in Burbank. We say didn't and ate. We got meatball sandwich which is really yummy. The meatballs are huge and the sauce is delicious. It's exactly what you want in a meatball sandwich Love the food here. There is also a little Italian market attached to the restaurant that has lots of good stuff and a little deli as well“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and charming—perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special night out. The décor and ambiance immediately gave off authentic Italian vibes, making the experience feel genuine and cozy.

The menu is extensive and full of traditional Italian dishes, from fresh pastas and risottos to wood-fired pizzas and classic entrees. I tried several dishes, including homemade pasta and a perfectly baked pizza, and every bite was outstanding. The flavors were rich, fresh, and authentic, with perfectly balanced sauces, fresh herbs, and quality ingredients. You could really taste the care and attention put into each dish.

The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation of the food was beautiful. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. I particularly loved the tiramisu for dessert—it was creamy, perfectly sweet, and a delightful end to the meal.

The staff was exceptional—friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. They were happy to offer recommendations, answer questions, and make sure our dining experience was top-notch. Service was timely, and everything arrived just as we ordered.

The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has a welcoming vibe. Whether you’re coming for a casual meal, a family dinner, or a special occasion, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Italian food. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes, making it excellent value.

Overall, this Italian restaurant delivers an outstanding dining experience—authentic flavors, generous portions, friendly service, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. If you love Italian cuisine or are looking for a great spot for a memorable meal, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family!“

“Had the calamari, beef ravioli and bread pudding, it was very good.“

“This has ALWAYS been thee place to get a Delicious Pizza, scrumptious Bread, and yummy Lasagna! After 60 years, it is still Simply the Best! Outstanding service provided by Ricci which made our dining experience wonderful! Everyone cares about the customer all the way to the top! Joan listens to the customers to make sure that the food is the BEST and it IS! You MUST go to Chi-Chi's when you're in Northridge!“

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

“Absolutely fantastic for date night or literally any other dining event you might have!!!! Food was incredible especially the glazed pork belly and the brussel sprouts. AND dessert is an absolute must, everyone needs to try the bread pudding! Good price point for the quality of food and the cutest Mediterranean inspired design.“

“I wish I could give this place 100 stars! This is hands-down one of the best, most family-friendly spots in our community. We’ve been coming here for years, and every time, they deliver an amazing experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent—and the warm, welcoming environment keeps us coming back.
Our most recent visit was just as wonderful. Our server was incredible—he took his time with our kids, was so patient, and made sure even our youngest felt included when placing his own order. That kind of kindness and attention to detail means a lot, especially to families with little ones.
The service is fast, the staff is always friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is just perfect for a casual night out or a weekend treat. You can tell this place truly values its customers and takes pride in everything they do.
We really hope they stay in this location for many years to come. It’s so important to have places like this in the neighborhood—where great food, great people, and great memories come together. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Delicious food, I enjoyed myself there and the spaghetti was great just like expected 🧡“

“Nice clean store and food was delicious. The girl at the front was so friendly and answered me questions about the menu. I ended up getting the lasagna garlic bread salad combo and it was so good and for less than $15! I ate the garlic bread first cuz it was so good that's why it's not in the picture LOL.“

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“🥃🙂👍 Jeff is a great bartender!“

“I ate here before with my family a few months ago and we enjoyed the meal. I forgot about it, until my husband and I were looking for a different Italian restaurant than the usual ones we go to. I remembered Olivia, so we went on a Saturday night where it was considerably more energetic than before. Everyone was welcoming and we were lucky we made a reservation. The arancini was soooo good. It's very hard to find the quality that we experienced in Italy, but Oliva came very close. The Pasta Norma was delicious. The seafood pasta was also very good. The portions were plentiful and service was on point. This is such a warm and welcoming restaurant. I recommend it and can't wait to return.“

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

“Great Service and food is so delicious!! The Best servers!! Carolina thank you for always taking care of us.. ❤️“

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

“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!“

“No complaints to speak of, it's all good but nothing's out of this world... You'll never be disappointed, but don't expect a gourmet experience. Pizza was...pizza. the wings were fat and VERY well sauced, and the salad was a salad. We got the Manager's special.“

“Good food - great service“

“There were 4 of us dining in for a late lunch/ early dinner. It's a very comfortable place with a great menu and awesome desserts. The owner works there and the staff is awesome and friendly. If you want to adjust your selection a bit they are happy to help in any way possible! The portions are good size to share. We love going there and the staff makes it cozy and welcoming. Thank you Antonio's for taking such good care of us and making our visit a wonderful experience. We look forward to our next visit soon!“

“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.“

“Great spot for fresh, fast, and affordable Italian food!

Presto Pasta in Granada Hills is a solid go-to when you want something quick but still delicious. The restaurant is casual with seating inside, perfect for a relaxed meal.

The pizzas are a great personal size and come out fresh and tasty. The garlic knots are delicious — soft, flavorful, and definitely a must-order. What I really love is how customizable the pasta dishes are: you can choose your pasta type, sauce, and ingredients exactly how you want it.

Ordering is super easy online or by phone for pickup, and the food is always ready fast. The staff is friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend Presto Pasta for tasty, affordable Italian food that’s done right“
