18 Best Italian Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

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

“I love the Classic Setting: flowers, wooden tables, Energetic Server without Fail!
3 years and the same consistency of delicious Italian dishes and amazing cappuccino with tiramisu.
I rarely see restaurants like this, service that is always inviting you to come back for another dinner and another dinner AND another dinner😀.
Highly Recommend. I want to give this place 10 out of 5 stars.“

“Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in LA. My husband and I visit here 2-4 times a month. All the locations are beautiful and unique, but our favorite is Sherman Oaks. It's our home local restaurant, and the entire staff knows us and takes great care of us. It was just our 17th anniversary, and the staff made us feel so special. But then again, they always make us feel special, so we just love everything about this place. Our go-to must-haves are the chicken sliders, fries, and the little gem. And to end the meal, we order vanilla lattes, the best cake and ice cream. It's simply the best!“

“.  We usually have a very good experience however there was something off this last time. It was towards the end of the evening and they were only a few people left at the restaurant, we had to ask the waitress for our bread four times which was unusual. Otherwise, we appreciated the quiet atmosphere, the very nice wine and high  quality, wine glasses and the good food. We were a little bit disappointed because at the end of the evening we noted we smelled cigarette smoke coming from the back of the restaurant we felt was quite unprofessional. This is the only time we have been at the restaurant. The owner wasn't there and our perception was that there was a step down in discipline among the staff that day“

“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!“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant earlier this summer & have already visited at least 5 times! Food is delicious & fresh, it’s a nice quiet place to enjoy a meal. I love out date nights here when craving pasta, the octupus as the appetizer is my favorite! Waitress is lovely & attentive, we will definitely continue to return.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and lovely atmosphere“

“We had wonderful food and service. I had the gnocchi with meat sauce. Absolutely delicious.“

“This place is amazing! We had two servers named Marco, and both of them were so friendly and welcoming. The gnocchi was absolutely delicious! Everything was so clean and nice, with a beautiful atmosphere. Great food, great service, and such a lovely experience. Highly recommend!
Elizabeth so nice 🙏😘“

“Ginos east is a hidden treasure located at the southern edge of the SF Valley . Walk in welcomed , reservations are available as well as food delivery services. The family and I have been visiting Gino’s for over 6 years. The service is awesome and very helpful, the owners are always in and happy to help. Great Chicago memorabilia and cozy booths, sports are always on with the volume low so your parties conversations won’t get drowned out. Parking is a lil difficult but I always seem to find it, parking in front and at the back of the restaurant, street parking is a lil tricky.

Let’s talk about the food!!! 🤗
Appetizers ( mozzarella sticks are the best ) are fresh and flavorful, but take it easy with them , you might fill up before your pizza shows up, deep dish takes about 30/45 mins ( highly recommend supreme add crumble Italian sausage) , so always order a small thin crust to hold you off. I love the spaghetti, especially add mushrooms and meatballs … OMG !
They do have salads but why take up belly space when you can enjoy the why you’re at Gino’s 🥰 !!!!

Beer selection is great as well, wife orders North Coast’s Scrimshaw pilsner and of course I’m a fanatic of Their Old Rasputin imperial Russia stout on nitro .
Good selection on domestic beer and nice wine ( No hard liquor ) .
For dessert their cheese cake with strawberry topping is to die for ( always order 2 ) . They also have frozen deep dish pizza to take home to enjoy at home (makes a great gift 🎁 ) !!!

P.s. if you return and use the same debit/credit card you will accumulate credit $$& that can be used towards your next visit 😉“

“Visited last week with a group after hearing good things about it through a friend. Their pizza is delicious, good dough/cheese/sauce ratio. We ordered the Chicken Alfredo pizza and Margherita pizza. I also tried their Chicken Marsala and it hit the spot. They also serve espresso drinks, perfect before hitting the road after stuffing ourselves. Would recommend and definitely coming back.“
