Italian Restaurants near Pacoima

“This is a hidden gem in the valley!!! I was looking for a new meat market because the one I go to has new owners and the quality of the meat isn't the same. This place has good quality meat and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I will definitely be buying my meat from here!! This is a must try!!“

“After a Subway restaurant cancelled my Catering Order for my son's birthday party at Discovery Cube LA, i was left without options the night before. Guidos to the rescue! they agreed to open a few hours early so i could get fresh, hot delicious pizza for 47 kids and family. i highly recommend we support this small business as not only were the XLG pizzas (cheese, pepperoni, and an amazing veggie) high quality, but they were also affordable! Thank you Guidos!“

“I'm just going to start off with if you don't eat pizza go anyway just for the atmosphere. Today I had the pleasure of dining at 786° pizza. The food was simply outstanding. The crust was perfectly crispy. The cheese was gooey and flavorful and the toppings were fresh and delicious but what really set the pizza place apart was the incredible hospitality of the people who worked there chef Mari chef Chris and chef Lesli. from the moment we walked in we were greeted with warm, smiles and friendly conversation. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and that our dining experience was exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about this pizza place. The food was exceptional. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff are some of the most hospitable people I've ever encountered. chef Mari chef Chris and Leslie made our experience one of a kind. I will definitely be returning to this amazing pizza place in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“I moved here a few months ago and found this spot searching for pasta. I absolutely love it. It’s now my fourth or fifth time & I cannot get enough. The service is SUPERB (Emily is lovely) and the food is to die for, I will always come back for more! (Sorry the photo is dark, but the arabiatta is amazing)“

“Casual but nice. Service and staff are very kind and knowledgeable. Recommended wine based on my preferences.Food was very good but I think they put cream in the carbonara… and a poached egg on top. I’ve seen this at other LA restaurants- not sure why it’s a thing.Good portion sizes.“

“The food is tremendous and the atmosphere is great. This is our favorite restaurant in all of Santa Clarita. The service is so good considering how small and crowded the restaurant is. I watched the manager helping servers and checking how everything is with the patrons. This is a very very nice hidden jewel of a restaurant in canyon country.“

“My other review was from 4 years ago and the food was delicious (southern Italy) then and it is still now. The owner was very friendly and helpful. He made a special children's portion for my granddaughter who is now 10. Vladdy (sp) was so happy to see us again that he gave us the regular spumoni and an extra piece to take home. I showed him the previous review and he was happy that I took the time to write it. The chicken parmigiana and meatballs and spaghetti were also delicious. My daughter ordered the seafood plate and it was too much for her to eat. Make this a go to restaurant when in the area. Rhonda S.“

“Visited Uovo in Studio City for the first time and tried their tasting menu. The truffle pasta was amazing, seriously good. The pomodoro was just okay, didn't impress much. But the Tiramisu? Wow, I'm not even a big fan of Tiramisu and it left me speechless. Worth a visit for sure.“

“Excellent food and cooking! Large menu, including a lot of option for vegetarian/kosher diet. The outdoor seating was nice and equipped with heaters. Price was fair. The service was a bit long but we went on a Sunday night, so understandable. We will going back for sure!“

“I loved this place so much their food was amazing and their chocolate chip cookies delicious I don’t know if you guys might remember on March 2, 2024 around 5-6pm there were a bunch of orange shirted students and the place inside it so beautiful.“

“I finally made it there after a few months of thinking about it. I met some friends We had the daily special heirloom tomato. Pizza slice. We had the lemon pepper chicken wings. Yum. The Green Monster and the Margarita pizza. I think the heirloom tomato pizza was my favorite today, but they were all really good. And the chicken wings taste like fresh lemon. Next time I go, I am going to get some of that homemade lemonade and try the Mr. Pickles pizza.“

“I had one of the salads, which was really tasty and my friend had a chicken dish and it was sooo much food. I was really impressed by the portion size! We also got there pretty late and were eating at close and they were really nice and let us stay and drink our tea for an hour more.“

“It is a great little restaurant! First, let's start out with they have valet parking which was nice and we didn't have to worry about finding a parking space! The ambience in the restaurant was exceptional! I think the owner of the restaurant actually came to our table and asked us if we were okay, which was very nice! it was Easter brunch with three courses, and each course came out very quickly so we weren't sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting for the next part of the meal to come out! The staff was very professional. The food was delicious! there was four of us and we each got something different, and all of it was very very very good! They also have a full bar with specialty cocktails and great wine!“

“Community favorite for sure. Small hole in the wall place and. Service is always great, everyone greets you with a smile and prepares yummy food!!!!! Love this place!!!! The hot pastrami sandwich is my all time favorite and my usual lol . It is a little bit pricey, but totally worth it!!!!“

“This has been a favorite of mine for over 15 years. The pepperoni pizza is the BEST pizza in town. 2 for 1 Happy Hour is great. If you like sports they have every game playing on so many TVs! Great bartenders and servers. It's an awesome place !“

“Food is good. Atmosphere is great ? But the parking is something else. It's very small and if there's no parking whatsoever you'd have to park somewhere else and it's not easy to find parking there at all. This restaurant is very pricey. A little expensive for someone/families who are on a budget.“

“I went there after 11 o clock to satisfy some late evening munchies and was psyched to find out all their baked goods are gluten free, and they use organic ingredients. For a gf cupcake it was especially rich and satisfying! I should have taken a picture but I was busy!“

“I went to this place because a friend recommended it, he told me the pizzas here were very good and he was right. The pizzas here are delicious. It was my first time here and I would recommend this place to anyone. It is a bit far from where I live, but to pay and eat a delicious pizza like this one is worth the drive. If you are a pizza lover, I would definitely recommend this place. The staff is friendly and you can see how they prepare the pizza. The place is small but they also have outdoor seating. We got one large cheese and one large veggie pizza.“

“OH wow! What a hidden gem! The staff is warm, helpful & they welcome you the minute you set foot inside. Impeccably clean, great music, & romantic vibe. The service was amazing & food was served reasonably fast. House made pasta with my dish was so flavorful. I practically licked my plate clean. The server checks up on you. Asks if you have any questions & was super attentive. Not to mention offered a extra glass of wine on the house. The coconut flan dessert was so delicious & yummy!“

“Visiting from WI, randomly chose Mr Pizza and I was blown away! The guys in charge seem to really care about the food they send out. Not much of a dining room, I would recommend just doing carry out. That being said the ingredients and overall taste were FANTASTIC, one of the top 5 pizzas I’ve ever eaten! If you’re in Van Nuys give these guys a shot!“

“love the food here!!! the cheesy garlic dinner rolls are uniquely amazing!! (with lots of butter) a must eat!! the house salad ,spaghetti w/meatballs are my favorite, the staff are the best,very polite and attentive.never an empty glass or breadbasket!! I recommend stopping by and enjoying!“

“My wife and I had recently gone there with some friends and had a fabulous dining experience. Last night our family decided to meet there for dinner and were thrilled at the superlative service, delicious food and presentation. Our server, Victor, made sure our dining experience was seamless. We felt like we had been going there for a long time and were treated like family. The food was delightful. Good size portions and all prepared with care. Truly a wonderful evening. We will be going back and introducing our friends to this wonderful restaurant.“

“Omg so delicious... I've tried : American breakfast Meatball sandwich Chicken parmesan Veal parmesan And most recently TRI TIP PANINI Which literally made me stop half way to write this review because it's one of the most delicious tri trip sandwiches/paninis I've ever tasted.. hand down my new favorite. The place has a welcoming feeling. Like if they've known you forever (must be thag Italian love. Definitely taste it in the food) ... highly reccomend! Next time I'll order 2.“

“I love this pizza place. It so delicious and always satisfies my cravings! They are super friendly 10/10 and pizza is SO GOOD 10/10. They were super kind enough to deliver my pizza (my address was slightly out of there delivery range) Delivery was fast and easy. My food was still hot and very enjoyable.“

“Fabrocini is located on the Venture strip in Tarzana, and though parking is available on the street, they also have a small section in the back. If the back is full, try and exit for the cheapest option, since there is a sectioned off area for VALET. Our server was extremely attentive, responsive, and easy to chat with. Jokingly after having a moment with the menu, I asked about their secret menu and didn't know it was a thing... I ended up ordering a Chicken Artichoke pasta, and it was AMAZING. The chicken was tender and the juices really sank in. The artichokes and greens were tasty, and the pasta was crisp and went down easy. Of course, Italian wouldn't be complete without bread and oil + balsamic, which I had stuffed myself with. Our group also ordered a Chianti wine, and it was a tasty botte. The wine was not too bold but not too sweet, a good balance of both worlds and well enjoyed throughout the duration of a two-hour meal - will definitely be returning!“

“Total classic spot! So small and intimate. Got to know the crew! They are busy but, friendly and will chat over the hustle and bustle. I got the pepper steak planned on taking half home. I got to chatting an ended up killing that thing. It was super tasty and filled me up for the day! Had a conversation with an old guy who's been coming since forever ago and everyone in there was a regular. Will def be back!“

“Had such a lovely birthday dinner at this restaurant. It's a hidden gem for sure in Burbank. I had the shrimp scampi, the hubby had the lasagna and our son had a cheese pizza. They were all delish!!! The service and ambiance was great! Our first time but definitely won't be the last!!!“

“Just found this place near my house and let me tell you, it's fantastic! My son loved it and he is a picky eater. It's a little hole in the wall, family operated pizzeria with great service and the pizza is made with a lot of passion you can tell. I will definitely make this our regular pizza spot.“

“Christian, the Argentinian dude who I believe is the manager is the best. Super friendly and the rest of his staff really takes care of you! If you want something done a certain way just ask! Been coming here since I was little with my mom and Nonna. Hope this place stays around forever!“

“Definitely tough finding good pizza places in LA originally being from New York, but I do think Fernanda's goes on my list of the better ones worth trying. Super fresh and nicely thin sliced pizza. The gentleman who helped me was also very kind and made it easy to order. NOTE: The store itself is a bit hidden in the parking lot so I've attached a photo to help locate it.“

“The food here was amazing the fettuccine Alfredo was definitely the right choice for me and my wife. The combo pizza was amazing as well as full of toppings! The service was quick and the food came out fast. The little restaurant was a change from the bigger chains of restaurants out there and I love the home feeling of it all. Overall great place to come and would recommend it to anyone looking for great food at an even better price“

“This review might be a bit biased, because I live locally, and would like to support and see more restaurants on Chatsworth Street in Granada Hills that have outdoor dining on the sidewalk, under the new dining lights at night. That street has so much potential. But I also love this pizza. I think most other pizza places are all pretty much the same, but this deep dish with tomatoes is complely different. It' my opinion it' s better than all the rest, but if you are looking for something different, it is definately different. There used to be a lot more Numero Unos in Los Angeles, but they have faded away like Pioneer Chicken, I feel lucky to still have this one close enough to walk to. There is a guy there who wears glasses, seems like he is in charge, he is really nice, his customer service is on point.“

“I recently dined at Angelino Trattoria and had an amazing experience. The Roma pizza was absolutely delicious, with its perfect combination of flavors and a crispy crust that was just right. The mussels were cooked to perfection and the ravioli was filled with a delightful blend of ingredients that left me wanting more. The beet apple salad was a refreshing and unique dish that added a nice touch to my meal. Overall, everything I ordered at Angelino Trattoria was wonderful. The quality of the food, the attentive service, and the cozy atmosphere all contributed to an exceptional dining experience. I highly recommend this trattoria to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“

“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!“

“Gino’s East of Chicago in Los Angeles proves that not all heroes wear capes – some serve pizza. With their unwavering commitment to both kind customer service and top-notch cuisine, they’ve rightfully earned the title of Best Pizza in Los Angeles for two consecutive years. Walking into Gino’s, you’re immediately greeted by a vibe that’s as inviting as the aroma of their legendary deep-dish pizzas baking to perfection. The staff treats every customer like family, making sure your dining experience is as memorable as the meal. Speaking of the meal, the pizzas here are nothing short of a masterpiece. From the golden, buttery crusts that cradle layers of gooey cheese and rich, flavorful sauce, to the carefully curated selection of fresh toppings, every bite is a testament to why they’re reigning champs. Whether you’re a deep-dish aficionado or a pizza purist, Gino’s East of Chicago in LA doesn’t just serve pizza; they serve an experience that leaves you counting the days until your next visit.“

“I've been here once before but came here yesterday and this sandwich was HEAVEN!!!! It's a small but it was pretty big! Lol My boyfriend ordered the ravioli and he seemed to enjoy it as well! Customer service by our server was so good! She was talkative and engaging with all her customers I wish I got her name! I recommend coming and I will be back!“

“Solid pizza, we ordered the general combo and also got their chicken pesto. Both were delicious. I'm a big fan of chicken wings, so we got those as well. Medium size wings but packed with a lot of flavor. I have eaten wings from pretty much everywhere nearby and I'll give these ones a solid 8/10. I wanted them hot and I wish they could have gone hotter.Otherwise, great food for the price and I'd definitely order again.“

“Went to dinner with our son and his girlfriend, and even though it was an hour before closing, the employees were awesome with their hospitality mo rush to leave, but most of all the food was awesome small portions aren't very small. We all enjoyed our late “

“Giamela's is a classic go to and has been around for so many years! Consistent quality subs generously topped with diced onion and pickle (if you opt for it). Always a treat and blows away the chain sub "shops". The only downside for some my be that it's cash only.“

“Tried this place for the first time. It's located near a 7-Eleven. It's very popular for lunch and the sandwiches are huge. A regular alone would make you full unless you're really hungry and get a large. I tried a cold cut sandwich“

“We rated this place A+ on FB. The Antipasto Salad was delicious. The steak sandwich was prepared like a Philly steak sandwich and my husband absolutely loves it. I had the Hawaiian Pizza and it was the best, I don't usually like the crust, but this time I ate it all. Chicken Parmesan and Shrimp Scampi were out of this world.“

“Wonderful restaurant, where parking can be limited in front or back of the alley. Every time I come in, customer service is always patient and courteous. Low lighting and music sets prefect mood for date night or just a relaxing evening. Pizza and appetizers are always top notch and makes want to come back to eat some more.“

“I remember coming here as a child and thr owner and his wife always kind to me they literally watched me grow up i absolutely loved theyre pepperoni pizza a fried eggplant! I cannot ever seem to find this type of quality pizza anywhere else even mh mom agrees! Hands down the best pizza anywhere! I remember as a kid used to love watching them prepare pizzas great memories owner and wife were always so kind to me!“

“We enjoyed the food tremendously! The service provided was top notch; over and above what I expected. The restaurant was clean and has a warmth family vibe to it. I definitely recommend this restaurant. It will become a stapler for our family.“

“I love Italian food and this place did not disappoint. I entered the restaurant thru the back, where they have very limited parking. There's more parking across the street. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with all the wonderful smells of Italian cuisine. I personally love the pesto gnocchi. I also recommend having their lemon drop martini. It hits just the right spot after a long work week. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Very attentive and can definitely recommend something that you will absolutely love. I will be back with friends and family. I found a new spot that I can't wait to tell everyone about.“

“There are so few places in LA that will let you order just a couple slices of pizza - it's nice to know they offer a wide variety of pies by the slice. Was in the neighborhood and ordered takeout from the counter. They run a smooth operation - menu makes pricing clear and lots of people were coming in for their to-go orders. I didn't dine in but they have beers and a few tables available. Wasn't a problem for me but some people may not like that they make only one size pizza, but it's big and if you don't want the whole thing, they let you order slices. I wish more pizza places did this. I didn't LOVE the too-chewy crust on my pepperoni pizza but it still tasted good.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Brami's Pizza today and it was an absolute delightful ,The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the lasagna & the spinach pizza. Both were bursting with flavor and had the perfect blend of ingredients.besides the fantastic food, and exceptional service,The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient. 20 minutes, and the food was ready will definitely see you again to try more from your menu“

“I love this place. My husband and I are here for the Easter Brunch. We orders the small Plates and got yo sample so many items off the breakfast menu. Every last item was delicious. Cudis to Chef Edgar. We had: chicken & waffles, pb&j stuffed French toast, steak and eggs, chilaquiles, crab cake, CA omelette and the Lobster Egg Benedict. I would recommend every single item. Paired with their Romance Noir Pinot Noir from Sonoma (2018)“

“The service here was great, and the food was delicious. We didn't realize they have a Mediterranean menu as well and we'd like to come back and sample those dishes as well. We did order the hummus as an appetizer and we loved it. We hade the Leo special as well as 1/2 a cheese pizza because...well...it's pizza and we do pizza reviews... The crust was delicious, sweet and crunchy without being a cracker. The saucy was a good blend of spicy yet sweet the way we like. We were a little disappointed with the cheese in that it wasn't a cheap cheese ( salty) but it wasn't a good cheese either, ( it didn't stretch when hot) but it was still delicious...like I said we will be back. Thank you for a great experience.“

“I've been going to Victorio's since I was a little kid and it holds many wonderful childhood memories for me. As an adult with a busy schedule, it's my go-to after work spot to grab a take out sandwich before they close for the night. In that regard, both Jonathan and Carla are AWESOME!! They truly demonstrate exemplary customer service and in general are lovely people to chat with as I wait for my food to be ready. Their capicola sandwich and italian fries (my go to order) are the best in LA.“
