“I'm just going to start off with if you don't eat pizza go anyway just for the atmosphere. Today I had the pleasure of dining at 786° pizza. The food was simply outstanding. The crust was perfectly crispy. The cheese was gooey and flavorful and the toppings were fresh and delicious but what really set the pizza place apart was the incredible hospitality of the people who worked there chef Mari chef Chris and chef Lesli. from the moment we walked in we were greeted with warm, smiles and friendly conversation. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and that our dining experience was exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about this pizza place. The food was exceptional. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff are some of the most hospitable people I've ever encountered. chef Mari chef Chris and Leslie made our experience one of a kind. I will definitely be returning to this amazing pizza place in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“I moved here a few months ago and found this spot searching for pasta. I absolutely love it. It’s now my fourth or fifth time & I cannot get enough. The service is SUPERB (Emily is lovely) and the food is to die for, I will always come back for more! (Sorry the photo is dark, but the arabiatta is amazing)“

“I like this place because it has no frills. My friend and I ordered the cheese/onion pizza. My friend is from St Luis. She knows pizza. She said this was the best pizza she's had. I thought it was fabulous also. We shared a rib eye. She likes it medium. I like it rare. They cut it for us and cooked each separately. Calamari - delicious. We had tons of left overs too. The staff was friendly, accommodating and responsive, very yummy place to dine.“

“Great place to experience some new flavor combos. Service was top notch, but for us the flavors were a little dull. Maybe a case of having too high of expectations going in, but the street corn pasta dish was very underwhelming. We wouldn’t have known what it was going for. Again, food was still delicious, maybe worth another shot to try the rest of the menu.“

“Casual but nice. Service and staff are very kind and knowledgeable. Recommended wine based on my preferences.Food was very good but I think they put cream in the carbonara… and a poached egg on top. I’ve seen this at other LA restaurants- not sure why it’s a thing.Good portion sizes.“

“This is a retro yet super trendy neighborhood bar that offers strong craft cocktails and some Italian bar food bites. The drinks we tried were all super strong and tasty. The food is good as well but keep in mind that it's fairly small portions more meant as snacks.The atmosphere was top notch! It's pretty crowded even on weeknights, so you'll have to hover a bit to snag a stool or table at peak times. It's pretty loud and small so maybe not the best for groups.Parking: Try surrounding residential streets“

“My other review was from 4 years ago and the food was delicious (southern Italy) then and it is still now. The owner was very friendly and helpful. He made a special children's portion for my granddaughter who is now 10. Vladdy (sp) was so happy to see us again that he gave us the regular spumoni and an extra piece to take home. I showed him the previous review and he was happy that I took the time to write it. The chicken parmigiana and meatballs and spaghetti were also delicious. My daughter ordered the seafood plate and it was too much for her to eat. Make this a go to restaurant when in the area. Rhonda S.“

“Foxy’s is the best!! My best friend @coreybricker and I recently had brunch there twice within a week. The freshly seasoned omelets and extra crispy hash browns were to die for! What really sets this place apart is it’s customer service! Everyone there is kind, patient, and super friendly! We are looking forward to going back there again soon!!“

“Visited Uovo in Studio City for the first time and tried their tasting menu. The truffle pasta was amazing, seriously good. The pomodoro was just okay, didn't impress much. But the Tiramisu? Wow, I'm not even a big fan of Tiramisu and it left me speechless. Worth a visit for sure.“

“Honestly, came here for the 4.9 rating on Google and the place honestly didn’t disappoint! David is super duper friendly, helped us with some questions and had a smile througout. That’s what i guess good customer service is. They have pizza slices but we ordered a small pesto chicken pizza and it is the BEST i have had till date. The pesto had a nice tangy flavor to it, chicken was cooked to perfection and the crust had just that perfect crunch! This place is a MUST visit. Thank me later :)“

“Excellent food and cooking! Large menu, including a lot of option for vegetarian/kosher diet. The outdoor seating was nice and equipped with heaters. Price was fair. The service was a bit long but we went on a Sunday night, so understandable. We will going back for sure!“

“I finally made it there after a few months of thinking about it. I met some friends We had the daily special heirloom tomato. Pizza slice. We had the lemon pepper chicken wings. Yum. The Green Monster and the Margarita pizza. I think the heirloom tomato pizza was my favorite today, but they were all really good. And the chicken wings taste like fresh lemon. Next time I go, I am going to get some of that homemade lemonade and try the Mr. Pickles pizza.“

“I loved this place so much their food was amazing and their chocolate chip cookies delicious I don’t know if you guys might remember on March 2, 2024 around 5-6pm there were a bunch of orange shirted students and the place inside it so beautiful.“

“I had one of the salads, which was really tasty and my friend had a chicken dish and it was sooo much food. I was really impressed by the portion size! We also got there pretty late and were eating at close and they were really nice and let us stay and drink our tea for an hour more.“

“It is a great little restaurant! First, let's start out with they have valet parking which was nice and we didn't have to worry about finding a parking space! The ambience in the restaurant was exceptional! I think the owner of the restaurant actually came to our table and asked us if we were okay, which was very nice! it was Easter brunch with three courses, and each course came out very quickly so we weren't sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting for the next part of the meal to come out! The staff was very professional. The food was delicious! there was four of us and we each got something different, and all of it was very very very good! They also have a full bar with specialty cocktails and great wine!“

“This has been a favorite of mine for over 15 years. The pepperoni pizza is the BEST pizza in town. 2 for 1 Happy Hour is great. If you like sports they have every game playing on so many TVs! Great bartenders and servers. It's an awesome place !“

“Food is good. Atmosphere is great ? But the parking is something else. It's very small and if there's no parking whatsoever you'd have to park somewhere else and it's not easy to find parking there at all. This restaurant is very pricey. A little expensive for someone/families who are on a budget.“

“I am not one to provide reviews but I am a pesto lover, and it is one dish that is usually made in a variety of ways that are so-so. Well I finally found a place that makes a superbly "real" pesto!!!!! The inclusion of mint was a delicious addition. A true Italian dish does not require bread, and salads are usually eaten after the main meal. The portions were perfect and filling and the broccolini and pasta were all dented. I will try the brunch next, but I highly recommend this place. Karina and Francisco were great.“

“I went to this place because a friend recommended it, he told me the pizzas here were very good and he was right. The pizzas here are delicious. It was my first time here and I would recommend this place to anyone. It is a bit far from where I live, but to pay and eat a delicious pizza like this one is worth the drive. If you are a pizza lover, I would definitely recommend this place. The staff is friendly and you can see how they prepare the pizza. The place is small but they also have outdoor seating. We got one large cheese and one large veggie pizza.“

“I went there after 11 o clock to satisfy some late evening munchies and was psyched to find out all their baked goods are gluten free, and they use organic ingredients. For a gf cupcake it was especially rich and satisfying! I should have taken a picture but I was busy!“

“Three generations of our family have been going here since the 1970s. The food is delicious. With your entree you get soup and salad. I got the scampi which is always good. The ice cream, spumoni, is a must. It's authentic. The atmosphere is lovely and just perfect for this restaurant. My dinner party had manicotti which was good. Prices are reasonable and we took leftovers home. Highly recommend .Parking: We got the street parking. The lot is quite small.Kid-friendliness: There is a kid's entree.“

“OH wow! What a hidden gem! The staff is warm, helpful & they welcome you the minute you set foot inside. Impeccably clean, great music, & romantic vibe. The service was amazing & food was served reasonably fast. House made pasta with my dish was so flavorful. I practically licked my plate clean. The server checks up on you. Asks if you have any questions & was super attentive. Not to mention offered a extra glass of wine on the house. The coconut flan dessert was so delicious & yummy!“

“Visiting from WI, randomly chose Mr Pizza and I was blown away! The guys in charge seem to really care about the food they send out. Not much of a dining room, I would recommend just doing carry out. That being said the ingredients and overall taste were FANTASTIC, one of the top 5 pizzas I’ve ever eaten! If you’re in Van Nuys give these guys a shot!“

“Omg so delicious... I've tried : American breakfast Meatball sandwich Chicken parmesan Veal parmesan And most recently TRI TIP PANINI Which literally made me stop half way to write this review because it's one of the most delicious tri trip sandwiches/paninis I've ever tasted.. hand down my new favorite. The place has a welcoming feeling. Like if they've known you forever (must be thag Italian love. Definitely taste it in the food) ... highly reccomend! Next time I'll order 2.“

“I love this pizza place. It so delicious and always satisfies my cravings! They are super friendly 10/10 and pizza is SO GOOD 10/10. They were super kind enough to deliver my pizza (my address was slightly out of there delivery range) Delivery was fast and easy. My food was still hot and very enjoyable.“

“I have been comming here for over 30 years love love It all Staff is Remarkable! always Saying Hello, And the best Customer Service From Sandwiches to Pasta Cookies Garlic Bread & Prepared Frozen Meals for the whole family! and don't forget to try the Macaroni Salad & Potatoe Salads Yummy“

“All'Aqua was truly enjoyable tonight. I wanted to try a little of everything tonight and will definitely be back to try more dishes. We were treated very well!! The bread was wonderful and the calamari was crunchy and fresh. It was quaint and sort of smelled like an Italian restaurant in Italy which really made me happy. I ordered a Milanese and I thought it was really delicious with a lightly dressed arugula salad for a bit of contrast and to add a bit of freshness. This little restaurant is a must try. I am looking forward to trying other things...perhaps try their pasta or pizza. My only regret was not sitting outside. I am happy I finally tried this quaint Italian eatery.“

“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!!!“

“Just drove in from San Antonio and stopped in for a bite to eat and we're so glad we did! The Philly cheesesteak was delicious, especially with the jalapeños to give it a little kick. The house salad was super fresh, crisp lettuce and the pepperoni pizza was amazing (crunchy crust).“

“The Capri Club has such a great ambiance & the staff are very friendly. They fill up quickly, but if you stand around the booths, you'll be lucky enough to snag a few! They're known for their spritzs, and I had a few off the menu which were good; but I prefer their selection of wine.“

“A very happy discovery. After being a bit surprised at the minimum cost at another nearby restaurant, I kept walking. I was drawn to the gas flames of outdoor dining. I found Bacari GDL and was very pleased. The food was excellent. My Bacarita was spicy but refreshing with watermelon to counter the bite. My ceviche was the best I have had. My pork chop with caramelized onions was perfect after a long day. Hannah was a delight in her care of my dining experience. I hope to return to Glendale again to enjoy this gem.“

“Christian, the Argentinian dude who I believe is the manager is the best. Super friendly and the rest of his staff really takes care of you! If you want something done a certain way just ask! Been coming here since I was little with my mom and Nonna. Hope this place stays around forever!“

“Definitely tough finding good pizza places in LA originally being from New York, but I do think Fernanda's goes on my list of the better ones worth trying. Super fresh and nicely thin sliced pizza. The gentleman who helped me was also very kind and made it easy to order. NOTE: The store itself is a bit hidden in the parking lot so I've attached a photo to help locate it.“

“The food here was amazing the fettuccine Alfredo was definitely the right choice for me and my wife. The combo pizza was amazing as well as full of toppings! The service was quick and the food came out fast. The little restaurant was a change from the bigger chains of restaurants out there and I love the home feeling of it all. Overall great place to come and would recommend it to anyone looking for great food at an even better price“

“So happy to have tried Sugo! I only dipped my toes into the flavor pool ordering only the French Fries and the Meatballs and sauce! Having had an Italian Chef for a Father, I grew up being able to tell good Italian flavors from a simple dish like Meatballs and Sauce (gravy)! Both were excellent from Sugo! Hot from heat, great texture and fine flavors and plenty of food! I'm looking forward to delving deeply into the menu next time! The rest of the family dinner was a hit with everyone too! Great food for the price! I highly recommend Sugo!“

“I recently dined at Angelino Trattoria and had an amazing experience. The Roma pizza was absolutely delicious, with its perfect combination of flavors and a crispy crust that was just right. The mussels were cooked to perfection and the ravioli was filled with a delightful blend of ingredients that left me wanting more. The beet apple salad was a refreshing and unique dish that added a nice touch to my meal. Overall, everything I ordered at Angelino Trattoria was wonderful. The quality of the food, the attentive service, and the cozy atmosphere all contributed to an exceptional dining experience. I highly recommend this trattoria to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“

“The entrees were amazing, salad was mixed; house salad was great, caesar only okay. Also the coffee after the meal was good not great. The restaurant was also loud, very busy. But it was Friday evening. All said, we will definitely visit again.“

“Solid pizza, we ordered the general combo and also got their chicken pesto. Both were delicious. I'm a big fan of chicken wings, so we got those as well. Medium size wings but packed with a lot of flavor. I have eaten wings from pretty much everywhere nearby and I'll give these ones a solid 8/10. I wanted them hot and I wish they could have gone hotter.Otherwise, great food for the price and I'd definitely order again.“

“Classic and comfortable, you can always find home here. I love the simple things like their veal, their fresh crusty bread and their side salads! Don't forget the affogato or your cash, because they classicly don't take plastic. I suggest to park in the cute neighborhood behind it, and to bring lots of good friends and family!!Kid-friendliness: My kids have loved it here for years!“

“I've been here twice and both times I enjoyed it . Everything here is tasty, the only thing I have problem with is that their food is too oily. I have tried a lot of things here , including appetizers and sides. My fav thing is their breaded chicken , and the side of carrots. I liked the calamari too. Their service is kind of mediocre but it does the job . I will try their other items :)“

“Gino’s East of Chicago in Los Angeles proves that not all heroes wear capes – some serve pizza. With their unwavering commitment to both kind customer service and top-notch cuisine, they’ve rightfully earned the title of Best Pizza in Los Angeles for two consecutive years. Walking into Gino’s, you’re immediately greeted by a vibe that’s as inviting as the aroma of their legendary deep-dish pizzas baking to perfection. The staff treats every customer like family, making sure your dining experience is as memorable as the meal. Speaking of the meal, the pizzas here are nothing short of a masterpiece. From the golden, buttery crusts that cradle layers of gooey cheese and rich, flavorful sauce, to the carefully curated selection of fresh toppings, every bite is a testament to why they’re reigning champs. Whether you’re a deep-dish aficionado or a pizza purist, Gino’s East of Chicago in LA doesn’t just serve pizza; they serve an experience that leaves you counting the days until your next visit.“

“Giamela's is a classic go to and has been around for so many years! Consistent quality subs generously topped with diced onion and pickle (if you opt for it). Always a treat and blows away the chain sub "shops". The only downside for some my be that it's cash only.“

“Disclaimer, this review is only for pizza. The works pizza is a great combination pizza with a fresh crust and generous, fresh toppings. The Sicilian is another of our favorites. I have to go back to try some other items like the chicken parm plate, but if the pizza is a sign of the food quality and taste, then I'm looking forward to it.“

“Tried this place for the first time. It's located near a 7-Eleven. It's very popular for lunch and the sandwiches are huge. A regular alone would make you full unless you're really hungry and get a large. I tried a cold cut sandwich“

“We rated this place A+ on FB. The Antipasto Salad was delicious. The steak sandwich was prepared like a Philly steak sandwich and my husband absolutely loves it. I had the Hawaiian Pizza and it was the best, I don't usually like the crust, but this time I ate it all. Chicken Parmesan and Shrimp Scampi were out of this world.“

“Went to star cafe for lunch on Saturday! Place was packed and so was black cow, our server was excellant and we even met the owner! I tried the sausage and peperoni pizza which was very tasty! So glad we came as we found out they are closing for good on Monday! Thank you guys for great food and service!“

“I love Italian food and this place did not disappoint. I entered the restaurant thru the back, where they have very limited parking. There's more parking across the street. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with all the wonderful smells of Italian cuisine. I personally love the pesto gnocchi. I also recommend having their lemon drop martini. It hits just the right spot after a long work week. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Very attentive and can definitely recommend something that you will absolutely love. I will be back with friends and family. I found a new spot that I can't wait to tell everyone about.“

“There are so few places in LA that will let you order just a couple slices of pizza - it's nice to know they offer a wide variety of pies by the slice. Was in the neighborhood and ordered takeout from the counter. They run a smooth operation - menu makes pricing clear and lots of people were coming in for their to-go orders. I didn't dine in but they have beers and a few tables available. Wasn't a problem for me but some people may not like that they make only one size pizza, but it's big and if you don't want the whole thing, they let you order slices. I wish more pizza places did this. I didn't LOVE the too-chewy crust on my pepperoni pizza but it still tasted good.“
