50 Best Italian Restaurants near Shadow Hills

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

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

“Once we were seated, I immediately noticed the incredible atmosphere of the restaurant. People were lively, chatting with each other and enjoying a good time. It was a happy sight to see.

The staff were passionate, and it genuinely seemed like they wanted to be there.

We ordered the lamb ragu, squid ink pasta, a side of broccolini, and the veal dish. Originally, we were only going to order the pasta and veal, but we found ourselves craving more food because of how delicious everything was. Not only did it taste amazing, but it also felt homemade, and the ingredients were extremely fresh.

I loved how both pastas had their own unique tomato flavors. The mashed potatoes served with the veal were incredibly creamy without being overwhelmingly buttery. The veal itself was extremely tender.

Loved the food here, 10/10. The portions were generous as well and well worth the price.“

“Try to stop by every time we stay in Glendale. Good food and very reasonable prices. Service is beyond excellent.“

“All around great experience! Good food, great service, good music! If only I lived closer…“

“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!“

“bomb bomb bomb! wont be disappointed“

“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 😘❤️😁“

“Bacari Sherman Oaks was the most incredible dining experience I have had in a very long time. It was more than just great food. The staff at Sherman Oaks created a complete experience with ambiance, fantastic service, and creative dishes to choose from.

The ambiance is energetic yet relaxed, and the Mediterranean-inspired small plates are incredibly creative and fun to share. Every dish we tried was outstanding. Our server, I believe her name was Mallery, was absolutely fantastic. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and attention to detail elevated an already amazing meal into something truly special.

Congratulations to the Bacari team for building something so unique. Bacari delivers an experience well beyond great food. I will enthusiastically recommend Bacari to everyone I know who visits Los Angeles, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town.

Wishing the entire Bacari family continued success!“

“Our favourite Italian restaurant in LA is Vivi Ristorante in Valley Village, very happy to say they have started this weekend serving brunch

Started with the fresh fruit bowl , simply put fresh generous and delicious and a great way to wake up the taste buds for what was about to come

Tiramisu French toast .. unbelievably good, this was so delicious without being overly sweet, photo worthy beautiful presented and a star in its own right, it’s a must try

The Piccante breakfast sandwich - my new favourite breakfast sando , the Italian sausage beautifully seasoned, eggs light and fluffy with the Calabrian chilli’s sweetish subtle heat and the peppery arugula it’s comforting, delicious and a meal all on its own

Carbonara pizza - didn’t need it but ordered it anyway ! In house made base, light, crispy and the perfect base for the shredded mozzarella pancetta, parmigiana, black pepper and the most perfectly poached egg sitting in the middle, we had a slice each and boxed up the rest but just like everything else we tried , sensational

If you are on the Valley and want some seriously authentic satisfying and delicious Brunch then get your butt here , there is a whole range of mimosas and drinks plus espresso coffee ( menu in the pics )

Loved this place for dinner , love it twice as muc“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“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)!“

“Capri Club has the best staff, they went above and beyond to make my pre-birthday dinner drinks and snacks top shelf! We always have an incredible time at Capri Club and we feel so lucky to have an unpretentious spot like this in Eagle Rock. 🥰“

“First, I want to say that the restaurant is located in a beautiful area. Walking around the neighborhood was incredibly enjoyable and made the whole experience even better.

When it comes to the restaurant itself, I honestly don't have enough words to describe how amazing it was. I found out that the pasta is handmade rather than pre-made, and it's brought fresh from Italy every evening. That surprised me and made dining there even more special.

The pasta I ordered was prepared with white wine. The portion looked a bit small at first, but it was very filling and absolutely delicious.

I would also like to give special recognition to the manager. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, energetic, and made us feel comfortable throughout our visit. We were even treated to a delicious pasta that wasn't yet on the menu, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will definitely come back just for that pasta!

Everything was excellent—the atmosphere, the people, the food, and the service. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I would love to see more seafood pasta dishes added to the menu, and I can't wait to visit again.“

“Bacari Glendale: It is a beautiful place we have always wanted to go to. We took two friends for a belated birthday dinner (and as the staff realized it was just that, they even rewarded us with a delicious birthday dessert :-). Great service, nice ambiance, and delicious food - we had the bread (could have been a bit more for the $4,50), then shared the Mac & Cheese topped up with the pear and brie pizza that was the best.“

“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.“

“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.“

“great atmosphere..great service fine dining with fresh view spent 101$ feed five people with drinks 3 appetizers very fine experience..“

“I celebrated my birthday brunch here with my friends, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for celebrating a special occasion. The food was delicious, and the service was professional, attentive, and made us feel so welcome throughout our visit.

To top it all off, I enjoyed a delicious coffee paired with dessert—the perfect ending to a lovely brunch. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a beautiful place to gather with family and friends. I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Came just before close on a Monday night to pick up a pepperoni. The shop is often bustling during lunch and dinner and the last few orders where getting boxed up as I came in. Grabbed the sodas we ordered and the pizza and headed out.

The pizza is delicious. A crunchy chewy crust throughout that makes you want to dip those crusts and a not too sweet sauce. While greasy, the pepperoni and cheese taste great and the ratio of toppings is perfect. Even the flat parts of curust offer a little crunch as you bite. I'm not an expert by any means but my wife who technically came from Brooklyn as a wee lass gives it a stamp of approval. If I recall correctly we had a couple slices ages ago here and the white pie should not be missed.“

“We've come here several times whilst visiting family in the area. The staff are always excellent and the food is great! We love the atmosphere- you know it's a good place when it's always busy.“

“Charming old school Italian, tasty drinks and amazing food. The lasagna could feed three, the calamari was perfect, I couldn't stop eating the Caesar salad. The tiramisu was a lovely cap on the whole experience. The staff can SING. Best in house happy birthday song version I've heard.“

“I've been going here for 15 years. I also order out. I wanted to put a 4 stars.
Ok here's the deal. I get PERFECT meatballs each and every time.
ALMOST.
Sometimes the meatballs taste OFF. Once in 20 times.
I just tastes like they ground other parts into the meat stock which shouldn't be there. Like entrails or something.
And there no warning us patrons.
As if I couldn't tell.

Since I get 19 out of 20 perfect ground meatballs, its hard to complain. But I wanted to get that out there. I mean, WHO LIKES SURPRISES? You know?“

“Quality ingredients and exceptional service with consistency make this a great experience for every visit. There is something for everyone on the menu. The place is approachable, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious and fairly priced.“

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

“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.“

“Very good delicious food very fresh for being two in the morning“

“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!“

“Very welcoming family owned restaurant, offering great quality authentic Italian food.“

“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!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

The service is warm, attentive, and refreshingly genuine. The atmosphere is cozy and polished with that effortless Italian charm. It’s rare to find a spot that nails all three: food, service, and vibe. Thank you, Divina Cucina, for perfect and delicious dining experiences.“
