14 Best Italian Restaurants in Studio City

“Yummmmyyy!

A very loud atmosphere (both music and people and children). Sunday brunch atmosphere was a little bit different from what I would want but it was lively and delicious.

Their bread was amazing.

I would try to come back for weekdays brunch and dinner sometimes!

Kid-friendliness: VERY kid friendly“

“Hands down my favorite place for Italian food!!! Without mentioning that their tiramisu is the best tiramisu of my life!!!! Highly recommended the tasting menu, includes a starter, 3 different pasta flavors and dessert.
The place is a bit small and dark but it gives me vibes of NYC kitchen/bar, which is cool.“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“

“I recently visited SunCafe Organic in Los Angeles for breakfast and ordered the French toast with cinnamon apples. The dish was delightful! The French toast was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside—and the cinnamon apples added a warm, comforting touch. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the food here, and the quality was top-notch.

I arrived right when the cafe opened on a Saturday morning and was the only customer during the first hour. While this made for a quiet and peaceful experience, I was surprised that the service wasn’t more attentive given how slow it was. The server never checked on me after I received my food, which was a bit disappointing. A quick check-in to see if I needed anything would have elevated the experience.

That said, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the menu offers a wide variety of creative, organic options. I’d definitely recommend this spot for anyone seeking delicious plant-based dishes. With just a little improvement in service, this place could easily be a five-star experience!

Vegetarian options: All vegan“

“Every time I come to Rocco’s I’m met with a smile and a warm greeting, along with great service and comforting drinks/food. I’ve interacted with a few of the team over the time I’ve been here, including Nick, Nate, Bridgette, Manny, George, Cassie and Candace. If you’re fortunate enough to be served by any of these kind souls, consider yourself lucky. Also, the layout of the space is perfect for watching any sports game, date night, or even a solo drink before hitting the next spot. If you haven’t spent time in Rocco’s are you even alive in LA?“

“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.“

“Excellent Italian food. Fine dining. Great for special occasions.“

“Food was excellent, like top five pastas of my life! The spinach fettuccine was really special and my husband's spicy spaghetti with seafood was really great too! Service was great ! Not sure why it was not more busy on a Friday night, but I was happy to have a quiet date night! Definitely will be back soon !“

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

“It's a long ride to NYC, so we settle for Fernanda's for your New York pizza fix.“

I had the bison meat pizza!! Grilled onions topped this cheesy and delicious master piece.

The flavor was perfect and they’re gonna tell you for the price. You really don’t find a lot of places like this, but I had to have a bowl of the lentil soup.

My companion enjoyed the iced coffee and it was delicious. The seating area is large and perfect for large parties or families and then out front. You can enjoy outdoor seating with a nice little fenced in area.

I was very impressed. I enjoyed the pizza tremendously. The meat was flavored and seasoned perfectly.

I absolutely love this pizza place. It has beautiful seating. The menus, incredible and ingredients are super fresh.!!

I ordered the pepperoni and sausage and had the pleasure of hanging out with the cashier and waiter. Who is really cool. We talked a lot about different things in our experiences but it didn’t even take me 10 minutes to get this delicious pizza. Now I have to save this for later .

But I can’t recommend this place enough it is so super pleasant and the one thing I absolutely love? The selections of soup! Stop in and try it.“

“A decent slice from great people. Quick friendly service. A perfect place to pop in for a quick snack on the go!

Parking: Very small spaces in a tight lot for multiple stores. Had to shimmy into my car while balancing my food. Still worth it!“

“Originally from NJ and lived and worked in NYC I've lived here almost 20 yrs. I've always been skeptical of pizza parlors that have "NY" in their name. I've passed by Pepe's for years and never tried it. Well I have to say I am very glad I did! This ABSOLUTELY the BEST pizza around.“

“Greta place for breakfast. When you first walk in you do wonder whats going on as its very small but then you through to the back and its large. Had a great breakfast. Pancakes very good, eggs benedict very good.Service was spot on and all round good place to eat“
