50 Best Italian Restaurants near Sun Valley

“First time there. Food was great, piping hot, and great serving sizes. The server was kind and patient, the bathroom very clean. I can’t believe I’ve been ignoring this spot this whole time!

Kid-friendliness: They have great kid options and I loved that my son was comfortable in their roomy booth seats.“

“Always good, the sad is the inferno the poor employees are living inside this store, more than a 100 degrees working them inside this store, this is so dangerous for them I usually buy my super Gigante pizza in Lauren Canyon store but they closed l9ng time ago, I have to drive 9 miles to pick up my pizza now, so far but really good pizza,the owner should repair their AC, these employees can be passed out anytime working at that temperatures, he should read the California laws that protect the employees.“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Our family had an excellent meal at Mother Wolf last night. The pasta was out of this world and the Italian wine selection was great. The decor is very nice and conducive to an overall excellent experience.“

“Wow! This is a gem in Hollywood you cannot miss. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is unparalleled. My husband and I came here last minute on a Saturday before a Pantages show, sat at the bar… and everything from beginning to end was fantastic. As Pantages season ticket holders, this will definitely be our new go to spot before our shows moving forward!“

“Had such a lovely birthday dinner at this restaurant. It's a hidden gem for sure in Burbank. I had the shrimp scampi, the hubby had the lasagna and our son had a cheese pizza. They were all delish!!! The service and ambiance was great! Our first time but definitely won't be the last!!!“

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

“This was our first visit to Rao's. We came on a recommendation for a friends birthday. It was a perfect evening! The staff was on point - super friendly. They sat us on the back patio which was awesome. We (of course) had the meatballs and they were incredible! The Parmesan crisps served when we sat down were so good! We all loved our meals - veal parm, pasta carbonara, pasta oilo and the pear/fennel salad to start was delish! The highlight of the night was meeting/chatting with Johnny Roastbeef. He made the night magical and so much fun with his stories of how the brand became so popular and telling us about the other restaurant locations in Harlem and FL. All in all 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!“

“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

“I absolutely loved having dinner with my fiance here. This was our second time here. Service was excellent; attentive & charismatic. The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful & fresh. That chicken parm was crunchy & juicy - fried to perfection - with the most tangy & forward thinking marinara sauce on top. I left feeling completely satisfied & happy we spent our money.“

“My first meal in L.A. and I couldn't have selected a better restaurant. The service was excellent, he was attentive and gave a great recommendation. we selected the goat cheese salad to start. It was delicious. Main courses were the chicken lasagna and seafood medley pasts. The portions were perfect. I will definitely return.“

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

“Me and Vidhisha had an excellent meal. The owner talked to us throughout the night with a infections smile. I could taste the love in the food. Very accommodating to my dairy intolerance. I will be enjoying another dish from Spumoni sometime soon.“

“From the very entrance you can feel the atmosphere of a family restaurant. At the very beginning we got a piece of pizza, as apprentices. The main course also included a salad or soup. The main course consisted of 2 plates. In my case, I got pasta with tomato sauce, and on the second plate there was a huge chicken breast with cheese and tomato sauce. My husband had a delicious pizza. We received free refills for the cola we ordered. The food was excellent, and such service is often not available in the best hotels. Standard of service, like in Waldorf
After paying the bill, we received a delicious piece of tiramisu for free.
I recommend this place with all my heart.“

SOOOO IN LOVE with this place I am mad I don’t live in LA ..I’m from Vancouver CANADA .. visiting LA for the first time , Let me tell you . I had the octopus ( that was off a side menu that might have been their daily specials ) as a starter and I ate it soooo slowly cus I was in HEAVEN with every single bite I took .. I didn’t want to finish it but couldn’t wait to take another bite .. the flavours were so amazing and cooked to perfection. Next up I had the Ravioli Verdi di Spinaci e Ricotta

I stayed and gave myself some time to digest my food cus I wasn’t leaving without having the crème brûlée .. and I’m glad I did cus it was phenomenal . I wanted to try everything on the menu ..

“LAVO The perfect place for an unforgettable moment

I recently had the good fortune to propose to my partner at this lovely Italian restaurant, and I couldn't have chosen a better place for such a special occasion. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere enveloped us with its warmth, elegance and an unmatched romantic touch.

The decoration was exquisite, with dim lights, candles on each table, The staff was incredibly attentive, helping me coordinate all the details for the big surprise. They even went the extra mile, giving us a table in an intimate corner with a perfect view of the restaurant.

The food was simply spectacular. We started with a beef carpaccio and a fresh burrata that seemed to melt in your mouth, the prime meyer Ranch porterhouse is exquisite.

The staff handled everything with discretion and professionalism. In the end, they even gave us a glass of prosecco to celebrate our new stage together.

I recommend this restaurant not only for its exceptional food, but also for its impeccable service and romantic atmosphere. If you are looking for a special place to celebrate or, as in my case, to make an unforgettable marriage proposal, this is the ideal place.“

“Best chicken sandwich I ever had in my inter life. Bread was fresh as hell. Tomato Lettuce n olive oil vinegar was spectacular. It tasted like subway in the 80s. Energy there was great!Definitely will be coming back! A 420 must go/have😋“

“My husband and I tried this restaurant today and we were very happy with the food. The chef took our order and took the time to explain that the lasagna recipe is from his mother. The lasagna sauce was amazing and so was the Diavola pizza. Very authentic and intimate restaurant. Great place for a date night, or quiet dinner with friends.“

“One of the best I’ve had “out” in a very long time.“

“Los meseros son muy amables me gusto mucho el ambiente“

“I found this place across from my hotel. I ended up coming here three nights in a row. Everything was so delicious. The homemade Beef rib ravioli, Spaghetti with tiger shrimp in spicy tomato sauce ,and ribeye were the main dishes I had. Very very good. I loved the cheese cake for dessert. Their service and atmosphere is fantastic. The staff were very friendly and happy to see me back. I may come back again tomorrow.“

“Excellent place! Very authentic, interesting choices. I didn't choose this restaurant for vegan, but was delighted with a mushroom pasta dish from that portion of the menu. Tasted a meat dish & a seafood 1 from family members; also excellent. Particularly liked short ribs ragu & the bread was terrific! Good moderate priced wines. Friendly service; will go back.“

“Quaint little Italian place. Service is great. Food is delicious. Their creamy pesto with short rib ravioli was amazing. Love that they add pine nuts too. The funghi pasta is so beyond delicious. We’ve had the funghi risotto too before and it’s a must. Literally the ONLY thing I wish… extra bread shouldn’t cost more. They don’t give you a lot to begin with and it’s just so good, we really wish we can eat more without paying more.

Parking - small free parking lot in front of the restaurant.“

“Everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The linguini de mare was phenomenal and... arancini! I thought I'd never eat them again once I gave up dairy. I'm over the moon!“

“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.“

“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.“

“This PIZZA DOUGH! So good. It’s hard to find tasty pizza dough that makes you eat every crumb, but they have it here. Not a NY Slice so don’t expect that size, but tasty with every bite. So worth it. One of my new top 5 pizza by the slice spots now“
