“The food is delicious, normally I can't finish my plate but with my delicious pasta I made sure no single piece was left in my plate lol
I want to give 10 stars to the owner/manager who was the highlight of our day. He made us laugh with his jokes and funny sarcasm. It felt like we were invited to his home for a delicious meal, it didn't feel like it was a restaurant! The food and the atmosphere feels like home!“

After an amazing meal Bruce and Rene treated us to the most exquisite desserts that were truely to die for.

Can't wait to come back.“

“Wonderful experience and great food“

“We went to the coolest little Italian place in the valley for Valentine's on a total whim. The entire place was themed, they had a fun violinist, the wait staff wore Valentine's glasses & vests, they had pink and red lights on the palm trees out front, heart shaped straws... it was so quirky and fun. Service was awesome, like the staff was actually having a good time and glad we were there. The food was AWESOME quality... everything homemade down to the freshly baked heart shaped bread. I don't recall if we've ever really 'celebrated' Valentine's day but going to this restaurant made it feel like an actual holiday. So fun and cute. Also, the prices & portions! Highly recommend to check this place out. Guessing they probably do other holidays as well. Grateful for an unexpected awesome night 🥰🤗“

“Love Vitellos, feels like an awesome local secret, while being a classic la restaurant at the same time. Great food, amazing staff and fun night out. They always seem to find a way to connect to the neighborhood in new and interesting ways as well.“

“This place is a jem!
The Caesar Salad was delicious- the crunch of the panko bread crumbs and lettuce was so satisfying.
We ate the whole thing.
My chicken Marsala and my finances pasta were so good!
We ate the whole thing.
Then, we had the Limoncello Marscapone cake, which was the perfect taste combo of citrus and sweet cream.
We ate the whole thing.
So glad this is in our neighborhood.
And our server, Justin, was the best.“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“Their antipasto salad is fresh with a hefty serving of meats and cheese. Their Italian dressing seems like a secret recipe and their garlic bread is magical with the sesame seeds. I get one salad for dinner and one for lunch to take to work the next day.“

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

“When my husband and I arrived we checked in an there was an hour waiting time. We still chose to wait around patiently. We finally got called to our seats, the waitress was very friendly and explain the menu. It is hard to read the menu because the lights are super deemed. We use our phone light in order to be able to read the menu items. Overall I enjoyed my husband's company & the pasta was delicious.“

“Today was the first time I ordered anything from here I have been wanting to for awhile and I just found my new favorite place to eat chicken Alfredo it was bomb and I’m picking when it come to Alfredo dishes,great portions too.“

“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.“

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!“

“we were lucky to have our baby shower at casa de pizza and joel and eddie are amazing owners. i was getting overwhelmed looking for venues and catering our baby shower, and we were so grateful that casa de pizza were open to having us. from day one, eddie and joel were responsive and put together a really nice menu with a drink package that was EXTREMELY REASONABLE for pricing. the baby shower itself was fantastic - pizza was solid, the pitchers were flowing, and the antipasto salad, wings, and lasagna were delicious. joel was on the floor making sure everyone was taken care of, and i cannot tell you how nice it was to walk in, celebrate, and walk out without having to worry about a thing. they even offered to let come a little earlier to decorate which was a nice gesture.

i also wanted to mention that we live in the neighborhood and have been going to casa de pizza since before new ownership. i've felt that the pizza and pasta are still very good, so i am surprised to read that people aren't satisfied. they've made some very positive changes by opening orders up for online and pick up. if you OG customers remember, we'd all have to fight each other calling the phone line just to get an order in, and it'd take us a solid 20 minutes of hearing the busy tone before getting someone to take our order, wait an hour, then pick it up. change is scary because it's new, but i feel like eddie and joel honor the tradition and respect of what casa de pizza was meant to be - your neighborhood pizza parlor.

we look forward to celebrating future birthdays and events here - they made it so easy and effortless so that we could enjoy our day.“

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

“We had dinner last night at Trattoria to celebrate my little daughter’s birthday, and it was such a beautiful experience. Even though the restaurant was busy, the manager truly went above and beyond to make sure my daughter felt special on her big day.

He took the time to check on us, made her feel important, and added such a personal touch to the evening. It meant so much to us as parents to see her so happy and excited.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was wonderful. Thank you for making my daughter’s birthday so memorable. We will definitely be back!“

“I had heard so many great things about this restaurant and how famous it was, so I decided to make the trip out to Studio City and see what all the hype was about for myself.
We arrived at around 1:00 PM. Parking was street parking only, but fortunately it wasn’t too difficult to find a spot. The restaurant seemed busy, but not overwhelmingly crowded. There were about four parties ahead of us on the waitlist, so we assumed the wait would be fairly reasonable.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, I asked the host how much longer it would take, and I was surprised when I was told the wait would be another hour and a half. At that point, we were ready to leave. However, as soon as we said we were going to go elsewhere, they asked whether we would be willing to sit at the bar and immediately found seats for us.
What made this frustrating was that once we got inside, I noticed there were actually quite a few empty seats available. Personally, I don’t like restaurants that seem to create an artificial sense of scarcity or use questionable waitlist tactics. First impressions matter, and this experience left a negative impression on me. For that reason alone, I probably would not return.
As for the food, it was decent but not particularly memorable. The portions were surprisingly small. There were five of us, and we ended up ordering nine dishes because the serving sizes were so modest. Nothing tasted bad, but nothing really stood out either. It felt like food I’ve had at many other restaurants before—good enough, but not unique enough to justify all the hype.
We also ordered two plates of the famous carbonara because so many people recommended it. To be honest, I’m still not sure why it’s so highly praised. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the kind of dish that would have me thinking about it days later or planning a return visit just to order it again.
The biggest highlight of the experience was actually the service. The gentleman working behind the bar was exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, efficient, and seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask. His professionalism and positive attitude significantly improved our overall experience. Great service has a way of elevating a meal, and he absolutely deserves recognition for that.
The atmosphere itself was pleasant, and the location has a nice vibe. Since we only ended up waiting about 20 minutes before being seated at the bar, the experience was manageable. However, if I had actually waited the hour and a half that I was initially quoted for this meal, my answer would be a definite no.

Overall, the food was fine, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. But considering the small portions, the underwhelming dishes, and the questionable handling of the waitlist, I personally don’t think the experience justified the reputation or the potential wait time. There are simply too many great restaurants in Los Angeles for me to spend 90 minutes waiting for a meal like this again.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is a nice and nearby place for my Italian partner to get groceries that remind her of home. I really like the gelato as well; it gives me fond memories of our time together in Italy (and not every gelato accomplishes this, unfortunately: my standards are high)!“

“Good food - great service“

“Good food. Not a huge menu but good choices. Kids like their food“

“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!“
