“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.“
“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.“
“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)“
“Such a lovely place! My friend just moved to the neighborhood and we tried El Morfi out on his first night. So wonderful! The empanadas and sangria were particularly delicious. Though you really can't go wrong with anything you order. Definitely recommend!“
“I love little hole in the wall places. They are usually the "good spots." This was no exception! Amazing pie! Simple and amazing! I didn't want to wipe my mouth. I just wanted to lick them to get every drop of the perfect sauce.“
“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“
“Our first time to LA, from Kentucky. We stayed in a hotel just down the street and stumbled in. The food is fantastic, the menu has something for everyone, the atmosphere is perfect on a rainy LA evening, and the staff is super friendly. I recommend it for anyone who loves Tex-Mex in a great atmosphere. Did I mention the prices of the food? Too Cheap.“
“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.“
“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 :)“
“I'm from NY. I'm a sandwich guy. I've eaten sandwiches on 4 continents. Their meatball sub is, easy, a Top 5 sandwich I've ever had, maybe top 3. It excels in every possible sandwich category. I just finished one. Spectacular.“
“The BEST dining experience!! Our table had a gluten & garlic allergy and the staff and chef were so accommodating!! It did not feel like an impediment, they offered us so many options!! All the food was delicious and the service was even better!! We love this restaurant and can't recommend it enough!! 20/10!!“
“Even though we had a hiccup with our order and it took a long time for our food to arrive, the staff was up front and very apologetic. They comped us a dessert because of it. Good customer service when there was a problem rates a decent score. Food was excellent.“
“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 !“
“I had two prior visits and I have always ordered the same thing, a Margherita Pizza. The first two times the pizza was the best pizza I've had in the Glendale area. The third time I was disappointed. The pizza looked more like your typical local pizza shop cheese pizza. Too much mozzarella cheese. It was smothered with cheese. I believe a true Margherita pizza should have blotches of mozzarella cheese with a basil leaf in the middle of the blotch of cheese. The Margherita pizza colors are suppose to represent the colors of the Italian flag. Unfortunately this one was white and green. Couldn't see the red sauce because...well, you know why. Too much cheese!I will say that the pizza crust is still my favorite. I will return, but next time I'll just have to tell them specifically how I want my pizza made.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Food was absolutely delicious! We had the baked lasagna (a little tangy), the pesto pasta with chicken (phenomenal) and the mini nachos (delicious) with some strawberry cheesecake. Everything was superb! Only complaint - a little expensive but overall worth it!“
“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!“
“Food quality and customer service are the best aspects of this deli. I saw how the staff treat their customers with respect and kindness.The food is so delicious, and the value is unbeatable. The signature Philly Pastrami Cheese Steak sandwich is a heavy hitting culinary masterpiece balancing the savory meats and melted cheese with the crisp green lettuce and tomatoes.I have been waiting too long to return and try their calzone the size of your head! No kidding, it has to be hands down the best place for a calzone, preferably their chicken pesto calzone. Their menu is immense, and could spend years trying out all their food.If you are in Los Angeles North Hollywood area, Roma Deli does not disappoint the hungriest foodie.“
“This deli has an excellent sausage and imported cheese selection! This is my go-to place when I need to make homemade lasagna and spaghetti sauce from scratch. The staff is super helpful and everything is sliced in front of you. If you want a great lasagna, opt for the sweet Italian sausage with fennel!Parking: There is parking in the back with a rear entrance“
“Didn’t expect to walk into this place the other day but I’m glad I did. It’s a very small Italian joint more for quick eats or to go. You can bring your family of 4 but it would probably be better to order out since this spot is so small. They offer frozen soups, ravioli, cannoli, stuffed shells, alfredo sauce, eggplant parm, lasagna, again all frozen so plan ahead when heating. They also have sides like pasta salad, marinated mushrooms, potato salads, macaroni, pickles, desserts….Yes, a one stop shop – they do have ingredients to bring home and make stuff, pasta and sauce. Personally, I don’t need a ton of meat on my sando because I find it to be very salty with the cured meats. This would be the reason why I don’t want to pay $24 for a sando and I think that’s way too much. But if in the case I was sharing with let’s say 2 other people and I brought an extra roll it would be worth it since I could separate the meat. Nonetheless, $24 for a sandwich is crazy (missing star) Oh also, after reading some reviews, yes the rolls are soft more of a French bread type, I do prefer a tougher Italian bread w a chew!!“

“This was our first time here. The pasta was absolutely delicious! The is my new favorite place for penne ala vodka. We chose to upgrade the small to a large for $16 and split it between our party of 4. That came out to $13 a person and we still had extra. Great deal“
“Great deli, highly recommend. They are not open late, so you may have to get something to go. Lots of sandwiches, and other Italian food options. May want to phone in your order and save some time. No seating inside at the moment, no restrooms either. Parking, entrance, aisles and counter are accessible. Dedicated parking behind the building.If you have a date, stopping by to pick up stuff for a picnic is a great idea. Or my favorite, pick out a sandwich, bag of chips, and a hot item to split, you will have plenty to share. Then pick out each other's drink, and a cookie or two to share after your meal. Sharing food like this with a loved one can be really fun.They have a lot of interesting products for sale, could also pick out stuff to make a dinner later with. Even if you come alone, they will likely have something you will find appealing.Parking: Parking behind shop, should be plentyKid-friendliness: Should be able to find somethingWheelchair accessibility: Entrance, aisles, and counter are accessible.“
“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.“
“Hands down- best pizza in the Valley.Service- friendly, and invitingPizza- can't rush greatness and they know it. The way they prepare your pizza shows how much they care.Great consistency all the way through.The sauce- unreal. The marinara makes the pizza and this particular places just overshadows all the other NY pizza spots.Used to love me some other well known places (won't name em, dont wanna bring em down) but since I found this place, I can't go anywhere else.Kid-friendliness: Very nice staff. Co.e with my daughter regularly and she loves it here“
“I went with my family to MA's and I was pleasantly surprised with the best scampi I've ever eaten. The shrimp was perfectly cooked so it was fresh and soft and full of great flavor with wine and butter and the pasta with it was perfect. One of our family got eggplant parmesan and another one got spaghetti and meatballs, and bruschetta chicken. Chicken was cooked beautifully soft, melts in your mouth. The young kids enjoyed their spaghetti and meatballs and even the garlic bread and knots. For dessert we tried three of them; one was an outstanding chocolate mousse with a little whipped cream on top which you could get with raspberries or not, and we got a Tiramisu and a delicious sweet pistachio cake with a little icing on top. Their garlic bread is amazing! You get lots of little pieces of garlic on it and it's soft bread with the crunchy crust I mean you can't get any better than that. They also gave us garlic knots. The only thing we could say wasn't 100% for us was that the broccoli and carrots vegetable mix was not cooked enough to be softer so we asked for them to make it softer and they did. A server will come around and ask if you want any more freshly grated Parmesan cheese on anything and they give you a lot if you want it . The portions are large. The service is incredible, our waiter was excellent and checked with us every few minutes to make sure everything was fine, they do everything with a smile. It's just impeccable.I just wish the place was bigger as it's very popular for obvious reasons why every every table got filled up while we were there with people waiting to come in. If you have more than two people I'd say get a reservation, it's a must. This is now my new favorite restaurant I'm so glad we went there. Excellently managed and there's a big parking lot in that shopping center where it's located next to a market, and the freeway. And interestingly enough all the servers are men, and it works great.If I could ask for one thing they could include in their menu it would be for something like a filet of sole with a wine and garlic sauce. They do have a salmon dish but I don't eat salmon. But I did taste everything we ordered and all of it was delicious.We returned a week later, last night, and tried some other dishes. The salmon was very good, comes with fresh cooked vegies and pasta. The chicken and orzo soup is the best chicken soup I have had in any restaurant in my entire life, and I am very picky and this one is like what I make at home. I have never praised another chicken soup. The butterscotch budino dessert is delicious. The service is still excellent, Seth was our server who went above and beyond always with a real smile, warmth, eager to help. When we left there were many people waiting to get in. If you have to wait or you get cold easily, bring a warm jacket or sweater. It is worth waiting for.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options.“
“The food was great!!! What really stood out was the service. I asked our waiter for recommendations based on our dietary restrictions, limited appetite, and wanting a good representation of Argentinean food. He recommended a couple of empanadas, a couple of sausages, and a main dish for my date and I to share. Needless to say, both my date and I were impressed. If I'm in the area again, I'll be sure to be back.Dietary restrictions: Lactose intolerant“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“

“It is authentic Italian food. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. When Italians eat Italian food in United States they get disappointed. After Sugo I understand why. Everything tastes so much better the real Italian way. If I remember correctly Cook is from Milano. Definitely Recommended!“
“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.“
“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.“
“First time here. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak. It was AMAZING!!! It’s hard to find a great sandwich these days. When I pulled up the place was empty, maybe they had a rush earlier. But I gave it a chance and I’m glad I did! Excellent!“
“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 stumbled upon this place when apartment hunting this past summer. Fast forward to last Friday, I was celebrating my birthday and they happened to have a outdoor seating available. The ambiance is very cozy. The owner and his staff made me feel so much at home. Boy they have a sense of humor and even sang happy birthday to me. As for the food, try the clams linguine and calamari. I'll be coming back soon. Worth the time and energy.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Really amazing kabobs!Got the combo platter (chicken, shish, and luleh) and it was more than enough to feed two! Came with your choice of appetizer as well. We opted for the hummus and NGL, it was 10/10. Spreadable, delicious, and light.The veggies on the platter are roasted tomatoes and jalapeños. Perfection.If you love garlic, that garlic sauce is ~~ CHEFS KISS. Worth that $0.75 extra. Spread it on everything.A little bit of a wait for the food is a given so don’t be impatient. Our wait was only 15-20 mins. We dined in.Totally worth.We’re from out of town and it was our first time there. The lady who took our order was so kind and took her time explaining the different items and sizes.Definitely coming back next time we’re in the area!“
“It's a great cozy neighborhood restaurant nestled in Shadow Hills. We are always greeted with a smile and wonderful welcome by the staff. This gem has a nice assortment of delicious food to choose from, and the service is always great! I can never make up my mind with all the choices on the menu. But before we we select our meal, we always start off with their amazing cheesy garlic bread. This is a must! If you go on a Friday night, then order the clam chowder, too! Once we have dived into the bread, then we select our meal. I have had their lasagna, which cheesy goodness, it never disappoints. I've also had their chicken fettuccine, spaghetti arabiatta, rib eye, and clams pasta. It has all been so delicious and flavorful.Oh yes, can't forget their desserts. They have tiramisu, bread pudding and Creme Brule cheesecake, which is my favorite!I can't say enough about this jewel of a restaurant, it's so lovely! It's our favorite place to eat! We love it!!!“
“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.“
“Oliva Trattoria is an absolute gem of an Italian restaurant! From the moment you step inside, you're transported to Italy with its cozy and inviting atmosphere.The food at Oliva Trattoria is simply divine. Each dish is crafted with care and bursting with authentic Italian flavors. Whether you're craving pasta, pizza, or seafood, you'll find something to delight your taste buds.What sets Oliva Trattoria apart is the attention to detail and commitment to quality. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and every dish is plated beautifully.The service at Oliva Trattoria is impeccable. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a memorable dining experience.Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving some delicious Italian cuisine, Oliva Trattoria is the perfect choice. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!“
“Can't back to LA to visit and friends asked what I missed eating out here. Did a quick Google search. Giamela's?!?!? Pepper steak?!??!?!? !? <Drool drool> Yaaaaaas!! Deliciousness!! Last time I came, it was a little too salty but this time it was just right. So good!!!! And right across the parking lot is a Yum Yum donuts and Baskin Robbins to grab some dessert.“
