50 Best Italian Restaurants near Reseda

“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!“

“great place love the Mexican menu !it is hard to find kosher Latino food will be defiantly back“

“I have family in New York, and I spent a lot of time out there over the years. And even though I personally lived in Queens while I was there, Brooklyn Pizza rates among any pizza place on the East Coast. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere.“

“Funke does many things right, yet still manages somehow to feel both warm but not inviting at the same time.

It’s odd to me because I recently met Chef Evan Funke and he seemed to be a super nice and warm guy(and clearly very talented), yet his spirit seems to not shine as bright as it could in this particular environment.

A protege of Wolfgang Pucks from back in the day, he himself has become quite a celebrity chef with hundreds of thousands of followers on IG, and all the other things: book, tv appearances, etc…

I believe he’s considered the “Pasta God of California!”

While I have yet to try his other concepts, Mother Wolf (Hollywood) and Felix Trattoria(Venice Beach) Funke is his newest addition to his portfolio of eateries, if not a huge departure in menu from the other two; freshly made authentic Italian pastas and elevated pizzas and animal proteins with a thoughtful bar and wine list. It’s all very good.

The standouts are the squash blossoms and pizza for me, and olive oil infused craft cocktail, but I have yet to try the pastas so cannot comment.

I’m giving this a 4/5 because I can’t help but feel that Funke can’t decide what experience it truly wants to give you. As I said, it’s warm, but not necessarily inviting.

All that said, add it to your list for fine-dining in Beverly Hills. It’s worth going for the open-air rooftop bar and squash blossoms alone.“

“I wanted to share my highly positive experience dining at Grandi Italiani. The restaurant offers a sophisticated and welcoming ambiance, complemented by truly exceptional customer service. The quality of the food was outstanding, making for a thoroughly enjoyable meal. I wholeheartedly recommend Grandi Italiani for anyone seeking a fine dining Italian experience.“

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

“I love this place. The owner is so nice. The staff is amazing. The food is always delicious. It feels like a family style restaurant. The owner is always recommending get suggestions for food options. And he is very passionate about his food. Every time I ate at this restaurant it has ALWAYS been an amazing experience. Thank you so much for sharing your food with us.“

“We visited The Bella Pizza Trattoria Italiana last night and had such a great experience! The whole place has a warm, cozy, family-style vibe that makes you feel right at home.

The food was fantastic, the pizza had a perfect thin, crispy crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. The pastas were just as amazing, rich and comforting, like real home-style Italian cooking.

What really made the night extra special was the service. The chef came out to check on how we liked the food (which we loved!), and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. You can tell they really care about what they do.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food with a personal touch, definitely check this place out. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“I went with a large group and I think everyone but me like their entrées way better than I did. I really think maybe I just made a wrong taste choice. I went for a mushroom ravioli with a cream sauce. I have to say the service was excellent. It’s a cute little restaurant. You probably wanna make a reservation if you’re going there, the bread is incredible. It’s so so yummy. I did enjoy the appetizers. I was not impressed though by the Caesar salad I was with five other people and they all loved their trace. I think I just made a poor choice. I would recommend it and even for a romantic night or dinner.“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“My boyfriend and I went to Lavo for the first time this weekend and absolutely loved it! The service was incredible from start to finish. Tristan and Rodrigo were both attentive, kind, and knowledgeable of the menu. We got the meatball, chicken parm, broccolini, asparagus and garlic bread. All of these items were delicious but I must say the garlic bread was the star of the show. We will definitely be back and loved the experience!“

“Wonderful! family owned and run.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

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

“We accidentally stumbled upon this coffee shop in Beverly Hills while on vacation. Good lattes & homemade apricot cookies. What really made this memorable was the owner's little dog, Biscuit, and the friendliness of Carla's regular customers. Will definitely be back for some lasagna next time. ❤️❤️“

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

“I cannot say enough good things about Lexi!!! She makes this place the best! My group (3 of us) showed up without a reservation on a UCLA home Basketball night. She and her team made us feel right at home, even with a full house!!! Food was excellent, service was even better! Can't wait to go back!!“

“This has been my family’s go to restaurant for decades. Every time I go here, I am hit with nostalgia. Most birthdays and special occasions were spent here. Since I live out of state now, I always have to stop at chi chi's whenever I visit California. The plain cheese pizza is the best pizza hands down. I’ll never find another pizza like it. Also the cold cut sandwiches are delicious 🤤 I wish chi chis would extend into Oregon 🥲 also, please NEVER go out of business or I would be so devastated lol“

“Tuvimos el placer de descubrir Gucci Osteria Massimo Bottura y, ¡wooow!, qué lugar tan asombroso. Desde el momento en que llegamos, nos cautivó la combinación de sabores extraordinarios que ofrece este restaurante. Cada platillo, desde la ensalada de mariscos hasta la pasta fría y los tortellinis, fue un deleite para nuestros sentidos.“

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

“I was in town traveling for work and stopped into Bacari Sherman Oaks for dinner. As a party of one, I was able to grab a seat at the bar, where I ended up having an excellent experience. I struck up a conversation with the bartender, Skyler, who was not only super friendly but incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu.

Since it was my first time there, I asked Skyler to choose the dishes for me and he absolutely nailed it. Every plate was on point.

Highly recommend Bacari for anyone visiting the area and if you can, grab a seat at the bar and let Skyler take care of you. You won't be disappointed!“

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“Cute non pretentious family restaurant. Booths and tables although booths are always reserved. Great specials good food and amazing prices in a warm family atmosphere. Lots of regulars. Great service and delicious Italian food. A must. Parking metered on street or back lot. No frills just good food!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“A smaller cozy atmosphere with good service and seating both inside and outside. Salads, appetizers and desserts were wonderful and tasty. Dinner was nothing special for the price but ok especially the ‘specials’. It was a busy occasion but still worth a try.“

“We had an out of town guest who loved pasta so brought her to Uovo for the food and ambiance. All the pasta dishes were excellent…and each with its own unique taste. Portions are “small” for US so definitely recommend at least one dish per person.“

“fully recommended you guys can come to get your amazing dinner“

“Food was great! You get to choose your type of pastas, sauce, and topping! The service was awesome, the service was fast, and the employees were very kind. The place had a regular smell. Me and my kids sat down only to see a sparkly, wooden table, and soft orange seats! 5 stars!“

“The food is sooooooo good! From bread to appetizers to pasta and pizza, everything was delicious - one of the best shrimps I have ever had!! It’s much better than any other Italian restaurants in this neighborhood. Super cozy and it’s a family vibe, it may not be as trendy but if you care about food, this is really the place. We will be back a lot!!“

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

“We walked over here for just a glass of wine and a late night snack. I can’t speak to the whole menu. We had a few glasses of wine and the calamari and we’re not disappointed. We ran into the most interesting people and love the entire vibe of this old school restaurant. We will definitely be back to try the full menu since the whole restaurant feels like a hug from the 70s. Every last person we ran into from the restaurant was super friendly and the service is absolutely on point. If the dinner service is anything like the service we got at the bar I’m sure it will be amazing.“

“Wonderful evening celebrating with friends. The truffle pasta was wonderful and the beet salad with fennel one of the best I’ve had. A wonderful evening.“

“The waitstaff is outstanding! Timely to greet you and seat you. They keep your drinks full. The food is scrumptious. We love coming here because the food is outstanding and the beautiful plating done by their chefs. Restaurant is clean. Tables are bussed quickly and quietly. Bathrooms are clean. The parking on the street in front is metered, and there is a small parking lot in the back which is well lit. Overall a great time had by all.“

“I visited on Saturday, July 19th at 8:45 PM. The caviar bruschetta was absolutely amazing—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The ravioli was good, though I’ve had better cheese fillings elsewhere. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive staff. The crowd was mostly international, and the location is nestled among some of the finest restaurants in Beverly Hills. I loved the ambiance and will definitely be coming back again!“

“there is nothing not to love about this place“

“La Dolce Vita is a room without daylight, where the shadows are part of the performance. Celebrities drift in and out, but the real star is the food.

The Caesar is made table side, crisp romaine dressed with ceremony. The spaghetti and meatballs deliver richness in every bite, the sauce deep and savory, the meatballs tender and crumbling with flavor. The bucatini arrives bright with lemon and butter, a simple dish turned unforgettable. End with the chocolate tart, a dark indulgence wrapped in espresso and caramel.

The cocktails are as sharp as the suits at the bar. Spritzes for the afternoon, Negronis for the night. This is not just dinner. It is theater.“

“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.“

“Fantastic pizzeria in Westwood. Pizza is solid. Great menu to please most. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend....“

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

“Consistent food. Friendly, efficient service. Very reasonable prices for amount of food. Many options. Delivers. Good catering menu.

Vegetarian options: There are multiple vegetarian options: multiple pastas, salad, and pizza. The Florentine lasagna is particularly tasty, especially with added marinara sauce.

The kitchen is small, so there may be non-veg food in the vicinity of your food.

Dietary restrictions: Cheese is omnipresent; it is an Italian place. I don't believe there is a cheese substitute available.

Parking: It is easy to call in orders in advance for pick up or eating there.

I have visited this place for 20 years. The food has been consistent over time in terms of quality.

I have used LA Lasagna for catering for groups of CSUN students and faculty/staff many times to good reviews.

This is a neighborhood restaurant with good prices, easy parking, pick up, and delivery.

The marinara sauce needs more garlic for me, but there is garlic, red peppers, and Parmesan cheese in shaker bottles.

The fountain sodas offered are Coke products. They also have other cans/2 liter bottles. I don't believe there is beer or wine.

The atmosphere is storefront bright with little ambience, but is clean with friendly service, and accurate orders provided.

I now live 50+ miles away and often stop by when I'm in the SFV near CSUN.

Kid-friendliness: The tables are close together, and the area open, so no mobile toddlers. Otherwise, mellow kids are fine here. If you have fidgeters, get your food to go or delivered for everyone 's sake.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for users of wheel chairs or other mobility devices.“

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

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

“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!“

“We have been coming here for many years and love it. Today was my father-in-laws 92nd birthday and he is not in great health but wanted Fabrocini’s. I called and they were so kind and accommodating, delivering birthday dinner for six at our door! The food was delicious and he was so happy!!! Thanks to the entire staff for making his day great and the years of great memories!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“
