50 Best Italian Restaurants near Valley Glen

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

“This has been our neighborhood go to place for over 2o years. Great food, friendly service. A great place to eat before or after the movies.“

“I really love this place and have been coming here for the past 12 years. I’ve seen the management, style, and concept of the establishment change over time. Some things go, others come — that’s life. But the perfect Adjarian khachapuri remain! Now I live far away and rarely get the chance to visit, but whenever I’m passing by, I’m always happy to stop in!“

“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.“

“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“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.“

“Atmosphere was great! Service was fabulous. Drinks were tasty! Margarita Pizza lacked cheese but the Sweet Cheeks was amazing 🤩.“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“Amazing Avocado roast poached egg Amazing staff manager follow up to make sure meal was perfect amazing ambiance great location natural light“

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

“This is authentic down to the sexy owner Francesco with the beautiful accent. He made the heck out of my cappuccino with a hint of house made vanilla and cinnamon. He deftly stirred and measured all the while answering my questions just so I could hear him speak.
I also got the fritatta with zucchini and other delicious veggies. O.g! Do, savory and fluffy. They have so many items on the menu from pastas to decadent desserts and they even have imported Italian sparkling water and still. If you wanna feel transported to a country and romanticize what your taste buds are experiencing, this is the place for you. There is some seating outside and you can people watch but the star of all of this is incredible food just the way his beloved Grandmother made.“

“If you are in Los Angeles, eating at Jemma Hollywood is a must on your list. They have a lovely staff that is attentive and professional. The food and cocktails are absolutely delicious. I recommend you just order everything! You can't go wrong here.“

“ottimo posto ho portato degli amici ieri sera ed anche loro sono rimasti molto soddisfatti lo consiglio personale molto molto gentile disponibile e le schiacciate favolose riempite Bene e buonissime 🤩“

“Great place and very welcoming staff. Food was delicious and very Italian. Highly recommended.“

“The best old-school southern Italian food right in Los Feliz/Los Angeles. Wonderful staff and Tony will always say hi and sometimes give you a free dessert. 🤩 ❤️“

“Everything is exceptional, it lives up to and exceeds its reputation. I can’t decide what stands out more - the world-class pasta, or the warmth and attentiveness of the service. The type of place that just makes your day or night and feels special. Incredible!“

“Stumbled on this place while I was sucked into the reel vortex in the middle of the night on my 11-year Veganversary. The next day, we drove 40+ miles into LA and had the most amazing vegan meal, from appetizers to dessert. They have a full traditional menu as well as a full vegan menu. Welcoming and energetic vibe. Outstanding fun and friendly service (ask for Aria!) Food was highest quality and INSANELY delicious. Even parking is easy in the lot next door. Can’t wait to go back. It is a pleasure to support these guys. Highly recommended.“

“I met a cute girl🙏 and the food is fuego fuego 🔥“

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

“I've never been there but i have to say i love what they doing and hopefully we'll get to know each other and taste the beautiful pasta dishes“

“Where do I start. Liz and Maggie are amazing. They made my family feel like some type of celebrity. I can’t state in this short paragraph how blown away I was by the service we received. THE BEST SERVICE, I’VE EVER RECEIVED. The drinks were excellent and the food was so good. I recommend the wagyu meatballs. The dessert was so tasty. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order here. The piano bar is a musical nice touch. I really appreciated the attention to detail on the decor of the restaurant when it came to the music. I’m so very excited and satisfied with Osteria Florence and I can’t wait to comeback again. 10 stars ⭐️ thank you Francesco 🙏🏽❤️“

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too“

“Just found my new favorite Italian spot! The pasta was delicious, I’m already planning to go back and try everything on the menu! The owner was really nice, and we ended it with a tiramisu for dessert. Part of me wants to gatekeep this place, but I can’t help telling all my friends about it. 10/10 🍝“

“😋Delicious Italian Homemade Food“

“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 😘❤️😁“

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

“（Spicy Honey Pie） ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thin crispy crust + pepperoni + honey drizzle, sweet and spicy flatHeng is super addictive!Must order!Cons: Too small, not enough for two people to share ($22). Rigatoni Vodka ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sauce is rich and a perfect blend of cheese and tomato, but you can get tired of eating too much of it. Garlic Shrimp⭐⭐⭐ The shrimp were fresh, but the portion was small (only 5 for $18) and the garlic flavor was not prominent enough. Tiramisu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the right amount of wetness, coffee liquor flavor, LA Top 3 level! But open until midnight, one of LA's few delicious late night snack options.“

“bomb bomb bomb! wont be disappointed“

“I love the food and service at this restaurant.“

“We dine here often. Food & service keeps bringing us back.“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant ...and I eat out 3-5 nights a week. I can always count on All Roads to be 100% perfect! The food is BEYOND delicious and I have had almost every single item on the menu. Never once was I dissappointed. A MUST try is the BIANCA PINSA as well as the Faro and Romini salads....Dessert brownie is spectacular too. Everyone I've brought here has fallen in love. The service is timely, professional and friendly. The manager Alexandra is the hardest working restaurant I've ever encountered! You will be thrilled with this restaurant...I was there last night and am bring another new friend this Friday night!😋💗“

“Beautiful place to dine and enjoy the morning and afternoon coffee. One of my face place to dine when in the area! Highly recommended place to dine!“

“Amazing on all levels. Stellar shrimp scampi (the sauce!!!) and meatball appetizers followed by just as stellar jidoro chicken and lobster pasta dish over brown rice for GF needs. Has a vibe like my favorite old haunt Sunny's Bar in Red Hook Brooklyn, only restaurant style. Will be back and back again now that we finally found this treasure hiding in plain sight in our hood. The entire staff is lovely, and the ambience charming. Sal's feels good for the soul, not just the belly.“

“Delicious food and friendly atmosphere.We had a great time.Thank you.🙏🤗😇😋“

“Amazing!… anything you pick is sooooo delicious! Do not hesitate in going and live the taste and experience of its unique flavors 🧿“

“Osteria Mozza definitely stands out in a city full of incredible Italian restaurants.

The ambiance is one of its biggest strengths. Lively enough for a fun group dinner, yet still intimate enough for a date night. It strikes that balance effortlessly, making the whole experience feel special without being overly formal.

Food-wise, there were some real highlights. The salad was fresh and well-executed, and both the short rib ravioli and butter pasta were absolutely amazing, rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The crispy duck was another standout, perfectly cooked with great texture.

The only slight miss was the prosciutto, which felt a bit underwhelming compared to everything else. But honestly, the stronger dishes more than made up for it.

Overall, this is a place I’d definitely come back to. In a city packed with great Italian spots, Osteria Mozza manages to hold its own and then some.“

“Stopped by for a girls dinner and food was great, ambiance is very cute & intimate & service was great despite there only being one server for the outside area. We ordered arugula apple salad, baked eggplant, gnocchi & fettuccine. Pasta tasted fresh! The bread was also fresh & filling. Great spot would be back.“

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

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“This is an outstanding Italian restaurant, and we've been to many great Italian restaurants in both Los Angeles and New York. I was extremely impressed not only with the quality of the food but also the fabulous service. Great spot, probably my favorite Italian restaurant in Los Angeles now.“

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

“I love the food and vibe here. Josh is one of the best servers we’ve ever had. A breathe of fresh air in LA these days. He made our experience incredible. So much so that I wrote this review! If you’re looking for a fun and delicious meal, this is it!“

“Wonderful! family owned and run.“

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

“This is the go to restaurant when staying in LA. Food is always perfect. Service is exceptional, and honestly made to feel like family. After an amazing meal Bruce and Rene treated us to the most exquisite desserts that were truely to die for. This was the dining highlight of our US trip from Scotland and the best genuine hospitality we've experienced. Well done to all involved, wish you weren't 5000 miles away from where we live. Can't wait to come back.“

“The food is exquisite. A bit pricey but well worth it! If you're "a foodie" you'll appreciate it all! Eat Here ASAP! DELICIOUS! 5 star“

“Fantastic pizzeria in Westwood. Pizza is solid. Great menu to please most. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend....“

“I wanted to try this place because it was all the hype on TikTok! Now going in person, it is very different than what I expected. The ambiance is great and resembles a lot of restaurants in West Hollywood. There is a pool table which is so cool, but most people are using it for photo opps. I would recommend it for a casual place to eat food and casually hang with some friends but I would not recommend if you are seeking a bar kind of vibe for socializing. Definitely get the pear cocktail! It was delicious!“
