50 Best Italian Restaurants near Rancho Palos Verdes

“Great pastrami sandwich! Great bread that they toast in the pizza oven. I have been numerous times now and while I want to be able to talk to the rest of their menu....I cant. I ordered the pastrami sandwich my first time and have never looked back. But I am sure they have got some other great dishes to offer, pretty big menu. It's a cute local little spot to grab food or eat on their little patio. Highly recommend“

“incredible handmade raviolis“

“There’s pizza is top notch! The crust is perfect. The staff was friendly and professional. Location is perfect for me. I have been disappointed by other pizza places too many times to remember. This is my new go to for family pizza night!!“

“Food was great! Wonderful dessert recommended by our server!!“

“Went for Easter lunch and it was fabulous.“

“If you go to Giuliano's, go prepared to eat Italian food for a couple of days. Get a sandwich- I discovered, and enjoyed- the Grab-n-go yesterday- grab some pre-made meals and salads (the penne with sausage was awesome for dinner yesterday), get some deli meats and salads and some bread for the deli items. Oh- and they have desserts. I've not tried the pizza, but a bunch of folks had them, so I'm sure they are good too. It's a classic Italian deli. If you like that type of store, you will not be disappointed. Only issue- not enough help at the deli counter at 3 pm on a Saturday. But the wait wasn't too bad. Go and enjoy!“

“First time here. Aside from its being loud - first impression - and it was - we were impressed as each dish came out. Remarkably good and satisfying food. From a classic margarita pizza to the flavourful gnocchi and beef cheek, the food was as interesting as it was delicious.“

“Yummy wine as be delicious food!“

“Always great at dockside love it“

“The food was super delicious!!!“

“Great folks, diverse clientele and awesome food!!“

“服務員態度親切，讓客人覺得溫馨“

“Almost every employee has a thiqqq italian accent so big points on authenticity. We ordered the yellowtail grapefruit appetizer, pear and arugula salad, mushroom tagliatelle, and the seafood spaghetti. The pasta was extremely fresh and made in house, one of the greatest meals I’ve had in the South Bay. Service was executed brilliantly and the vibes were through the roof. I want to live at Stecca Taverna but they don’t allow that so I will just frequent whenever I can.“

“Came in tonite every thing was great Our server was great aswell food excellent will be back“

“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.“

“We ended up at Lozio Osteria Pizzeria Bar completely by accident. My friends and I were looking for a new place to celebrate my birthday, somewhere we hadn’t been before, and this turned out to be such a great find.

Honestly, all the food was absolutely delicious. The truffle fries were especially amazing. We finished them so quickly that we had to order another round.

We had bruschetta, a charcuterie board, Caesar salad, fettuccine bolognese, and carbonara, and everything was spot on. For dessert, we ordered a pistachio cake. The portions were perfect for a group of five girls, and we left happy and full.

The cocktails were also great, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

And the service really made the experience. Our waiter had such a great sense of humor, kept joking with us, and truly lifted the whole mood of the evening.“

“Absolutely amazing spot. Friends brought me to try and loved it! Wonderful customer service too.“

“Since ordering for the first time a few days ago, we have gone back two more times. The food has been very good, the staff has been friendly and the pickup has gone smooth. We love how many choices there are all in one place. We will be frequent fliers ?“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“I stumbled upon this little gem while out for a walk, and I’m so glad I gave it a try after hearing locals raving about it back at my hotel. The calamari was cooked to perfection, and the clam chowder was so authentic it reminded me of home back in Nova Scotia. I even returned the next day for the seafood linguine, and I’m still thinking about it two days later! If you’re in the San Pedro area, this place is an absolute must-visit.“

“The Spicy Italian Chicken sandwich is the bomb!“

“Amazing!!! This restaurant has a special place in the heart of my family. Even after nearly a decade between visits, the food is still amazing, the atmosphere is friendly, and the staff is incredible! If you live in the area or are simply passing by, this is some of the best Italian food around.“

“Pizza made east coast style! First pizza I have had here that reminded me of the pizza I get from my favorites in NY, NJ and Philly. Thin crispy crust perfection and just the right amount of cheese. I am so glad we stopped here. I will be back.“

“We wanted to put a twist on Canadian bacon and pineapple extra large. Instead of Canadian bacon we asked for sausage and beef meatballs chopped with additional mushrooms. It was a pretty big pizza for only 28 something with tax. $3 per extra topping. It was delicious!“

“First time here had the lasagna and it was delicious and so was the bread that comes with it“

“Good food! I've been coming here most of my life and still as good as the first time my dad brought a Torpedo home.“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“We recently catered sandwiches from Amo. The sandwiches were full of flavor and very fresh. They were even able to customize a vegetarian sandwich for us. The service is excellent, Cinzia and Gaetano, the owners were very pleasant to deal with. They made sure that we got what we were looking for.“

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

“This pizza is INCREDIBLE and tastes EXACTLY how they make it in Italy… After all, the chef is Italian 💅 🇮🇹. They use high-quality ingredients (amazing tomato sauce, anyone???) and a wood-fire oven to bring these masterpieces to life. Oh… and the pizzas have the classic, soft, thin crusts…“

“Antonio is the best chef in the Southbay, he pours a great glass of vino! Jess, provides great service.“

“First time at Il Posto, very welcoming, warm ambiance, attentive service, server Sylvia did not forget that it's a birthday, food fresh , but the lasagna I ordered very salty and swimming in acidic tomato sauce , and bread not complimentary, usually it is a free treat to welcome customers in an Italian restaurant. Overall food good but would be tastier if less salt .“

“The veal parm.. was absolutely delicious.. a Rhode Islander who dines in Federal Hill Italian Restaurants in Providence RI! You Are the best in CA I've tasted🍷🤗“

“Good food and service . Spaghetti was awesome!!“

“Very good italian food. The Osso Buco was really fantastic“

“Excellent food and Bartenders.(service!)“

“Had such a great experience here! We came in with a group of six and were immediately welcomed with amazing service from Crystal and Carlos. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of the whole night.

I had the Linguine Pescatore and it was absolutely delicious - so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Everyone in our group loved their meals and kept commenting on how good everything was.

Between the delicious food and the outstanding customer service, this spot is definitely a winner. Highly recommend and I’ll for sure be coming back!“

“Everything in here is excellent!!! Super yummy food, great service, I recomend this restaurant 1000%“

“Great pasta. Very pleased thanks“

“Just picked up a gift card but was so grateful for the very amazing young man who was serving the customers picking up food. I pulled into the stall and he immediately asked me if he could help me and he did. Wished I remembered his name!! He deserves recognition 👏🏾“

“The manager was extremely accommodating. I had a big group of teenagers that needed to practice and learn how to split a bill. The hostess and wait staff were extremely patient and welcoming towards them but also the parents that were staying to observe. This is a great place to have a get-together and enjoy a good meal in good company.“

“Our server last night was awesome with the recommendations and add ons for enhancements to our food. It was the best meal I've had there so far - and I have been multiple times prior. The truffle garlic bread with vodka sauce on the side was the show stealer!“

“Great pizza, super friendly staff“
