50 Best Italian Restaurants near Valley Village

“This place is a jem!
The Caesar Salad was delicious- the crunch of the panko bread crumbs and lettuce was so satisfying.
We ate the whole thing.
My chicken Marsala and my finances pasta were so good!
We ate the whole thing.
Then, we had the Limoncello Marscapone cake, which was the perfect taste combo of citrus and sweet cream.
We ate the whole thing.
So glad this is in our neighborhood.
And our server, Justin, was the best.“

“Our family wanted a wood burning pizza place after visiting Universal Studios and we found this little gem. It's really small inside, maybe only 3 tables, so we could tell it was more of a take out place. We were the only guests dining in. First off we ordered the recommended wood fired wings and they were SO good! Crispy and lots of meat. They are pretty plain with just maybe a dusting of salt and pepper, but it did come with ranch. The kids weren't too hungry so they just ordered a pepperoni and cheese slice. The adults ordered a mushroom and pepperoni. It was really good. It did get a little soggy near the end of the meal from the oil of the cheese and pepperoni, but still very good. If I lived in the area I would definitely be returning.“

“Love this place. Highly recommend“

“11/5/2018 I gotta give a shout out to this pizza restaurant. I just finished this long drive from long beach to LAX to santa Monica to NoHo. I drove by this place and said I am gonna go there as I drop off my last client. They were so kind, they let me use the restroom (which was for employees only), gave me a discount on a pizza and so I ate it from my hatchback. Top stars for service and for pizza in NoHo!“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“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.“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“Beyond expectations! Best meal & service in at least 10 years. I’ll be back!“

“The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve👍👍“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Lost my keys somewhere along Sunset and checked in with Ceci’s to see if anyone turned them in. They didn’t but ownership was so kind and empathetic that they handed over a fresh and delicious piece of tomato focaccia for my troubles. That’s what’s called unreasonable hospitality. Thank you guys, that was incredibly sweet of you and it brightened my day.“

“Semona was an awesome host for a group of us that sat outside if you want an absolutely delightful experience in an outdoor setting with beautiful lights and wonderful scenery. This is the place to be. Oh and by the way a food is exquisite thanks guys for a really excellent evening.“

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

“Went before attending a show at the Orpheum since it was within walking distance. Wasn't sure what to expect, but once inside and has the place got crowded. It was a nice vibe and food was good. Not a big fan of sitting on stools as the limited amount of tables were taken. Highly recommended however as it's far better value than going to some overpriced restaurant in downtown LA. Servers were nice.“

“I visited The Cicada Club last night with a friend, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The website describes the experience perfectly, but I'll admit, I was a little hesitant after reading some recent reviews, and I'm so glad I didn't let that deter me. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere transported us. Many guests were dressed in beautiful period-inspired outfits, which made the whole experience feel immersive and special. We arrived early, and they had lovely background music playing that really set the tone for the evening. The service was exceptional, our server and secondary server were both attentive, polite, and completely on point. Our three-course dinner was paced perfectly, and every dish was thoughtfully prepared, delicious, well presented, and absolutely worth the value. The live music was stunning, the band brought incredible energy, and the crowd responded in kind. The dance floor stayed packed nearly the entire night, with people dancing as couples and individually, and the joy in the room was contagious. The vibe truly matched what you would hope to expect from that era, elegant, lively, and full of charm. This is a fantastic venue for any occasion, a simple date night, time with the girls, birthday parties, really anything. Parking was also incredibly easy, valet is right up front, which made the entire experience feel seamless from start to finish.“

“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.“

“Try to stop by every time we stay in Glendale. Good food and very reasonable prices. Service is beyond excellent.“

“Few places in Los Angeles have friendly
top notch service and great food. This place has both. The staff is incredibly great from front of house to back of house. I’ve been twice and both times have been top tier. The pasta is some of the best the city has to offer. This is my new favorite Italian joint. Great wine, pasta and an impeccable staff. I love Spina!“

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

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

“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 🙏🏽❤️“

“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 😘❤️😁“

“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 🍝“

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

“（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.“

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

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

“I cannot say enough good things about Lexi!!! She makes this place the best! My group (3 of us) showed up without a reservation on a UCLA home Basketball night. She and her team made us feel right at home, even with a full house!!! Food was excellent, service was even better! Can't wait to go 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!😋💗“
