50 Best Italian Restaurants near Sun Valley

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you are involved in a show at the Pantages or seeing a show, THIS is the spot. I ate here 4 times in just my short time staying in LA. The staff was so welcoming and even helped me squeeze in some friends that surprised me onto our dinner reservation. Everything I ate exceeded my expectations and I always left so satisfied. Best Kale Salad ever! Major shout out to the manager, Sean, who always went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and welcomed. I can't wait to come back!“

“Compared to the RAO's thatvwas once at Caesars in Vegas the one in Hollywood is nothing like it. The food,the service and ambiance were way better than what i expected. What a plesant surprise definitely will be my number 1 place when craving itailan food. it's a mustvtry for those who havent been might even see a celeb or two.. Just wish they were open for lunch.“

“Overall good and front desk was awesome. There a pool party on Sunday we were not prepared for. That notice should be shared in multiple ways. We had an negative experience with one of the wait staff at the restaurant. Knowledgeable, efficient snd did't care if we were there. Bartender was also standoffish and ignored requests for cocktails. The lower lever bartender stepped up at one point and he was awesome.“

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

“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

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

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

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

“I love this place. The owner is so nice. The staff is amazing. The food is always delicious. It feels like a family style restaurant. The owner is always recommending get suggestions for food options. And he is very passionate about his food. Every time I ate at this restaurant it has ALWAYS been an amazing experience. Thank you so much for sharing your food with us.“

“We visited The Bella Pizza Trattoria Italiana last night and had such a great experience! The whole place has a warm, cozy, family-style vibe that makes you feel right at home.

The food was fantastic, the pizza had a perfect thin, crispy crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. The pastas were just as amazing, rich and comforting, like real home-style Italian cooking.

What really made the night extra special was the service. The chef came out to check on how we liked the food (which we loved!), and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. You can tell they really care about what they do.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian food with a personal touch, definitely check this place out. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“I went with a large group and I think everyone but me like their entrées way better than I did. I really think maybe I just made a wrong taste choice. I went for a mushroom ravioli with a cream sauce. I have to say the service was excellent. It’s a cute little restaurant. You probably wanna make a reservation if you’re going there, the bread is incredible. It’s so so yummy. I did enjoy the appetizers. I was not impressed though by the Caesar salad I was with five other people and they all loved their trace. I think I just made a poor choice. I would recommend it and even for a romantic night or dinner.“

“ABSOLUTELY THE MOST AMAZING CUISINE I HAVE HAD IN LOS ANGELES .. or anywhere I been lately for that matter COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEFS … . I’m
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
and omg again… OUTSTANDING cooked Al dente as I love it and although I was full after that.. 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 ..

“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!!!“

“Excellent food and Judy was an excellent host she put up with us Australians 🍺🍺😀😀😎“

“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 😘❤️😁“

“Wonderful experience and great food“

“Jesse, our bartender was amazing. He crafted a cheetah cocktail,  after one of us wore a cheetah dress. What a lovely touch . Our waitress Liv, gave us all the delicious recommendations, from taste to portion. All stellar and delectable. We finished off with dessert and the biggest chocolate cake enough for four people and leftovers. The bar area was beautiful. The restaurant itself was stunning, all of it The entire experience was beyond what we expected while celebrating a dinner for bride to be. Counting down the days to come back and bring other loved ones to share in the experience.“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“I have been going to roma deli for over 6 years. My kids and I sometimes go grab a pizza while we're washing at the nearby laundry place. They have a large variety of drinks and bottled water.
If we dine in we usually get sandwiches and paninis. With either fries or sides. The staff is always friendly and patient with us. The food is always good. Yesterday we got it delivered, I didn't wanna go out and I don't like ordering from delivery apps so I love that you could order directly from their website. I usually get the grilled chicken caprese panini but yesterday I tried the roma cheesesteak and that was also top tier (chicken caprese is still my favorite though) Literally everything that I have tried at Roma Deli has been good. Also I never remember to take my punch cards, I think you get a free sandwich if you fill up your card. If you have picky eaters, trust me you'll find something on the menu that they'll like.“

“Love love love this place. We’ve been coming here for 19 years and highly recommend. Great food, wine and ambiance.“

“Carson was amazing and looked after our birthday group super well. Super funny and charming :) Most people loved their food, my vegan option was ok but honestly a bit bland. But for a big group with mixed dietary requirements this was a solid spot.“

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

“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.“

“wait staff very responsive to our requests…. home cooked food at a decent price! a winner!!!“

“They treat you like family. The food is incredibly great.“

“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.“

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

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

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

“Alicia can cook anything and she is an amazing person beautiful inside and out love her to pieces♥ xoXx“

“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.“

“I wish I could give this place 100 stars! This is hands-down one of the best, most family-friendly spots in our community. We’ve been coming here for years, and every time, they deliver an amazing experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent—and the warm, welcoming environment keeps us coming back.
Our most recent visit was just as wonderful. Our server was incredible—he took his time with our kids, was so patient, and made sure even our youngest felt included when placing his own order. That kind of kindness and attention to detail means a lot, especially to families with little ones.
The service is fast, the staff is always friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is just perfect for a casual night out or a weekend treat. You can tell this place truly values its customers and takes pride in everything they do.
We really hope they stay in this location for many years to come. It’s so important to have places like this in the neighborhood—where great food, great people, and great memories come together. Highly, highly recommend!“

“I was in town traveling for work and stopped into Bacari Sherman Oaks for dinner. As a party of one, I was able to grab a seat at the bar, where I ended up having an excellent experience. I struck up a conversation with the bartender, Skyler, who was not only super friendly but incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu.

Since it was my first time there, I asked Skyler to choose the dishes for me and he absolutely nailed it. Every plate was on point.

Highly recommend Bacari for anyone visiting the area and if you can, grab a seat at the bar and let Skyler take care of you. You won't be disappointed!“

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

“Vegan or not, I can’t imagine why anyone would not love this place.❤️“

“My workplace usually orders from Melrose Café. All i can say is…YUMMMM! The food is always fresh, tasty, hot when it arrives and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Hard working cooks and front of house! Thank you for the hard work you guys do!“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“Incredible food at reasonable prices. Best Italian around hands down. Get the garlic bread ❤️❤️❤️“

“By far, the best pizza around, and super-nice owner and employees. Have recommended Napoli's to every local Facebook group I belong to.“

“We had an out of town guest who loved pasta so brought her to Uovo for the food and ambiance. All the pasta dishes were excellent…and each with its own unique taste. Portions are “small” for US so definitely recommend at least one dish per person.“

“Amazing organic restaurant with pizzas, avocado toast, housemade pastas and fresh baked bread, ciabatta and baguettes. The back patio is a hidden gem, will visit over and over again for sure!“

“Great Service and food is so delicious!! The Best servers!! Carolina thank you for always taking care of us.. ❤️“

“I usually order a veggie pizza which is good but could use some seasoning; maybe a little salt, pepper, garlic power, and onion powder.
The staff are always welcoming, polite, and friendly. The atmosphere itself is a pretty chill vibe featuring a jukebox with diverse music choices.
Nite: The picture is after I added seasoning and spicy mayo“

“Food was great! You get to choose your type of pastas, sauce, and topping! The service was awesome, the service was fast, and the employees were very kind. The place had a regular smell. Me and my kids sat down only to see a sparkly, wooden table, and soft orange seats! 5 stars!“

“The food is sooooooo good! From bread to appetizers to pasta and pizza, everything was delicious - one of the best shrimps I have ever had!! It’s much better than any other Italian restaurants in this neighborhood. Super cozy and it’s a family vibe, it may not be as trendy but if you care about food, this is really the place. We will be back a lot!!“
