50 Best Italian Restaurants near Tujunga

“Giamela's is an old family owned chain with amazing pepper steak subs. I have been eating here since at least the early 80's, and unfortunately they've closed a few locations. Their subs are generously portioned and freshly prepared. Aside from their pepper steak, their meatball sub among others is classic. The atmosphere and decor is basic, but that isn't why you come here. Service is friendly.“

“No complaints to speak of, it's all good but nothing's out of this world... You'll never be disappointed, but don't expect a gourmet experience. Pizza was...pizza. the wings were fat and VERY well sauced, and the salad was a salad. We got the Manager's special.“

“We had a birthday in a nearby venue and wanted to try something new and lical and found Leo's pizza (and glad that they were open early on Sunday to deliver food by 11am while most other shops just open at 11). Pizza was really good and our guests loved it and asked where we bought it from.“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience and great 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.“

“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.“

“Old-school charm and service, elegant dining, live jazz piano at the bar. Been coming here for years and it’s still a super treat. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Great food Great service will visit again“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“This is the first time I have ever been to one of the Bacari locations. This one, in Sherman Oaks, is excellent. My daughter, Lauren, picked this restaurant. I was surprised, because Lauren usually picks out more expensive restaurants.

Bacari is a tapas type restaurant. The prices are reasonable because the portions, and the plates, are small. They recommended ordering three plates per person.

We ordered one plate for each of us and a Margarita pizza to share. The pizza was excellent. I had the Bacari burger. It was amazing. My wife had sea bass, and our daughter had a filet. We all enjoyed our meals.

Service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. In this restaurant, they bring out each plate as it's ready. That encourages people to share and socialize.

The restaurant was quite noisy inside. They have a nice little courtyard with outdoor seating. It was slightly less noisy in the outdoor courtyard.

For people who want to lose weight and still have delicious meals, I recommend Bacari Sherman Oaks.“

“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 😘❤️😁“

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!!“

“Wonderful evening celebrating with friends. The truffle pasta was wonderful and the beet salad with fennel one of the best I’ve had. A wonderful evening.“

“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!“

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

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

“I'm usually not someone who takes the time to review places, but I have to for Pagliacci's!! I came here for a small grad dinner on June 15th. I'd seen their videos on Instagram and saw they make their pasta fresh (which many places don't do). Let me tell you, EVERYTHING was so fresh and delicious. They brought out fresh baked bread and there was olive oil and balsamic. I usually need butter on my bread, but the bread was sooo good and with the olive oil it was perfect. I got the short rib pappardelle (pictured) which was immaculate. Others at my table got the Bianca pizza, a pepperoni pizza, the chicken piccata and the mushroom rigatoni. Totally flavorful, no notes. Service was amazing as well. Our waiter was Vlad, he was personable and attentive! Most items on the menu are $20 and up, but you can taste the quality. Will definitely be back!“

“The food is delicious! A great restaurant for family and friends to enjoy some delicious pizza and other delicious dishes!“

“Thank you all very much see everybody soon My Respect God Bless you and your family the food was great ❤️🙏🏻🥋“
