50 Best Italian Restaurants near Sylmar

“GREAT FOOD HERE!! HAND MADE AND EVERYTHING! Its a nice place to spend time with your partner. We looked at the app while waiting and their story is so touching! When the food came out, I was so excited. I took my forst bite of the vegetarian submarine and it was sooo bomb! Has great options for those who are also vegetarian, and those who go wanting something meaty! I had to come back the very next day! The breading was ssooo good!! Then I had the zucchini sticks!! They were also bomb!! Ooh and with a large soda! Went home with leftovers!!! Then I find myself writing this review the next day while eating here again! This time I ate the eggplant parmisian submarine!! It was soo good! Next is to try the canoli!! OMG I forgot to mention, before I tried these items, I always ate the basil pizza!! Soooo delicious!!! Then I realize that i needed to try more and stop being so addicted to one thing haha! Now Im getting a craving for the whole menu just by looking at the photos!!!“

“We were served by a nice young lady who was very welcoming. It was our first time there so she was patient with how long it took for our table to pick food. They have a wide selection and variety of foods. I usually get certain foods and today i decided to get something different. Truthfully I wasn’t a big fan of the chicken Florentine and wish it had more sauce. That was it. Everything else was amazing! The pizza was soo good and has a nice,thin and crispy crust that stayed firm when I picked it up. The calamari was amazing as well. They provided bread as well which I didn’t expect to be seasoned or toasted the way it was. I thought it was plain like most restaurants serve but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only that, but the portions are HUGE. I would definitely come here again when I’m in town, just maybe with a different order because other peoples orders looked amazing.“

“Ordered the 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad and it was delicious! Second time here and I love it. The chicken Pesto sandwich is so good.“

“Hands down one of the classiest good vibes restaurants in LA! The food is excellent. The wait staff and bar staff super friendly and personable and Jill (bartender, wine connoisseur and server extraordinaire) is a great reason to keep coming back! It’s like stopping by to see one of your closest friends. Oh…and the olive oil lemon custard cake is AMAZING!!!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Our favourite Italian restaurant in LA is Vivi Ristorante in Valley Village, very happy to say they have started this weekend serving brunch

Started with the fresh fruit bowl , simply put fresh generous and delicious and a great way to wake up the taste buds for what was about to come

Tiramisu French toast .. unbelievably good, this was so delicious without being overly sweet, photo worthy beautiful presented and a star in its own right, it’s a must try

The Piccante breakfast sandwich - my new favourite breakfast sando , the Italian sausage beautifully seasoned, eggs light and fluffy with the Calabrian chilli’s sweetish subtle heat and the peppery arugula it’s comforting, delicious and a meal all on its own

Carbonara pizza - didn’t need it but ordered it anyway ! In house made base, light, crispy and the perfect base for the shredded mozzarella pancetta, parmigiana, black pepper and the most perfectly poached egg sitting in the middle, we had a slice each and boxed up the rest but just like everything else we tried , sensational

If you are on the Valley and want some seriously authentic satisfying and delicious Brunch then get your butt here , there is a whole range of mimosas and drinks plus espresso coffee ( menu in the pics )

Loved this place for dinner , love it twice as muc“

“This is a nice and nearby place for my Italian partner to get groceries that remind her of home. I really like the gelato as well; it gives me fond memories of our time together in Italy (and not every gelato accomplishes this, unfortunately: my standards are high)!“

“We went to the coolest little Italian place in the valley for Valentine's on a total whim. The entire place was themed, they had a fun violinist, the wait staff wore Valentine's glasses & vests, they had pink and red lights on the palm trees out front, heart shaped straws... it was so quirky and fun. Service was awesome, like the staff was actually having a good time and glad we were there. The food was AWESOME quality... everything homemade down to the freshly baked heart shaped bread. I don't recall if we've ever really 'celebrated' Valentine's day but going to this restaurant made it feel like an actual holiday. So fun and cute. Also, the prices & portions! Highly recommend to check this place out. Guessing they probably do other holidays as well. Grateful for an unexpected awesome night 🥰🤗“

“Their antipasto salad is fresh with a hefty serving of meats and cheese. Their Italian dressing seems like a secret recipe and their garlic bread is magical with the sesame seeds. I get one salad for dinner and one for lunch to take to work the next day.“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“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.“

“great atmosphere..great service fine dining with fresh view spent 101$ feed five people with drinks 3 appetizers very fine experience..“

“It looks perfected, they are very generous with the amount of cheese and toppings. I look forward to seeing you again :)“

“Had the calamari, beef ravioli and bread pudding, it was very good.“

“Great food-fresh and delicious Great owners“

“The pizza here is absolutely delicious! The dough is light, fluffy, and full of flavor. They have a great variety of toppings, so there’s something for everyone. Both kids and adults love it, and we always finish every last bite! The staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend this place, and we’ll definitely be coming back! 🍕😊“

“I've been going here for 15 years. I also order out. I wanted to put a 4 stars.
Ok here's the deal. I get PERFECT meatballs each and every time.
ALMOST.
Sometimes the meatballs taste OFF. Once in 20 times.
I just tastes like they ground other parts into the meat stock which shouldn't be there. Like entrails or something.
And there no warning us patrons.
As if I couldn't tell.

Since I get 19 out of 20 perfect ground meatballs, its hard to complain. But I wanted to get that out there. I mean, WHO LIKES SURPRISES? You know?“

“Our waiter, McKinzie, is amazing. My work colleagues and I go out for lunch at least twice a month, and we always ask for her. She makes us feel like we're part of the family, not just another table she's serving. Her friendly attitude and outstanding service keep us coming back.“

“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.“

“This has ALWAYS been thee place to get a Delicious Pizza, scrumptious Bread, and yummy Lasagna! After 60 years, it is still Simply the Best! Outstanding service provided by Ricci which made our dining experience wonderful! Everyone cares about the customer all the way to the top! Joan listens to the customers to make sure that the food is the BEST and it IS! You MUST go to Chi-Chi's when you're in Northridge!“

“we were lucky to have our baby shower at casa de pizza and joel and eddie are amazing owners. i was getting overwhelmed looking for venues and catering our baby shower, and we were so grateful that casa de pizza were open to having us. from day one, eddie and joel were responsive and put together a really nice menu with a drink package that was EXTREMELY REASONABLE for pricing. the baby shower itself was fantastic - pizza was solid, the pitchers were flowing, and the antipasto salad, wings, and lasagna were delicious. joel was on the floor making sure everyone was taken care of, and i cannot tell you how nice it was to walk in, celebrate, and walk out without having to worry about a thing. they even offered to let come a little earlier to decorate which was a nice gesture.

i also wanted to mention that we live in the neighborhood and have been going to casa de pizza since before new ownership. i've felt that the pizza and pasta are still very good, so i am surprised to read that people aren't satisfied. they've made some very positive changes by opening orders up for online and pick up. if you OG customers remember, we'd all have to fight each other calling the phone line just to get an order in, and it'd take us a solid 20 minutes of hearing the busy tone before getting someone to take our order, wait an hour, then pick it up. change is scary because it's new, but i feel like eddie and joel honor the tradition and respect of what casa de pizza was meant to be - your neighborhood pizza parlor.

we look forward to celebrating future birthdays and events here - they made it so easy and effortless so that we could enjoy our day.“

“Nice clean store and food was delicious. The girl at the front was so friendly and answered me questions about the menu. I ended up getting the lasagna garlic bread salad combo and it was so good and for less than $15! I ate the garlic bread first cuz it was so good that's why it's not in the picture LOL.“

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

“The staff is amazing. Especially Ramon and Garrett“

“We came here to wait for our hotel, Peter at the bar was wonderful. Great atmosphere, food, and staff!“

“Good food … we go there a lot … garlic bread, Italian food. I love the turkey and provolone salad.“

“My sister lives here, I'm visiting here from Kentucky. Always a dinner to order one night while I'm visiting. So delicious! Highly recommended and they deliver!“

“This place is an institution and it is very good but not going to be your typical sub shop you likely are expecting. They are CASH ONLY, and all their subs coming with the same ingredients, no lettuce. The pickles, onions, and tomatoes are not slices, they are chopped up and literally scooped up and place on the sub. It is delicious and they are very large portions, just not typical, know before you go! Try something different, you may like it!“

“They have the pizza in town“

“Let me telll you the best freaking pastrami sub I’ve ever had and I hate sub sandwiches cause I can never find a good one. But de Franco has my heart it’s been 3 days and I want another so baddd. Plus the owner is the sweetest most amazing person ever!!! Can’t wait to go back and get more!“

“Awesome !!!!“

“Garlic Rolls, Salad, Pizza & Ice Cold Budweiser 😋“

“My kids were in the mood for a calzone so we found Mr Pizza and wow! Fantastic. Really delicious and generous size. Also got a Pesto Chicken pizza and wings and everything was perfect. Quick order easy pickup friendly guy at the counter. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“We came in for lunch just because I was tired of fast food. Christopher was our waiter and he was awesome! He was on it with the drinks which was helpful as we came in from the heat. Christopher was attentive and patient with us. I went with his recommendations and it was delicious from the food to the drink I chose. Recommend this place and if you get Christopher you’ll have a great experience. Highly recommend A++“

“Awesome food and the service was an 11 will be back soon thanks“

“Wow it is my first time that I come here the food here is jaw dropping!!!!!!! The workers give the best service ever making my first experience amazing, the food quality is great the creamyness of the pasta is delicious will come again 100/10🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Good food. Not a huge menu but good choices. Kids like their food“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! It's the BEST vegan pizza and wings I've ever had and I'm going on almost 10 years of being vegan. The staff is super sweet and my orders are always finished quickly! I make the hour drive often just to eat here! It's always worth it!“

“I was craving Italian food tonight, and ordered from here. What a treat! Delicious food! Friendly service, very aesthetic restaurant, and fairly priced. Can't ask for more! I had Lenguini with clams and Hawaiian pizza. Shared with my mom. We both loved it !!! Will definitely order again. Highly recommend! Must try.“

“delicious fresh bread which is baked daily. great Italian products and their cheesecake is amazing.“

“The spinach artichoke dip was fenomenal! I love Italian food more than anything and there was zero doubts about coming back to have these amazing dishes over and over again. Amy has to be the sweetest most attentive person I have ever met, And I recommend anyone with a pallet for great food/experience to come here. Try the pizza, try the pasta and I know you will not be disappointed. A million thanks again.“

“The description of Ike's to me made it sound like Fat Sal's and I was excited. Truth of the matter is Ike's holds its own, and it didn't disappoint. It has a great menu mixed with Meat and Veggie options. The Mrs. and I split and highly recommend the Captain Carl and the Meatless Mike (I concur "best vegan meatball in America", and Our 3 y/o gives the grilled cheese 👍👍. Our 9y/o swears it was the best grilled cheese she ever had.“
