50 Best Italian Restaurants near Westchester

“lovely food and service, nice atmosphere too“

“The best comfort food for our family!“

“We were headed to our hotel from Venice Beach and craving Italian. Driving past Italy’s Little Kitchen, we decided to take a chance and try it out. When I tell you words can’t describe how delicious their food was. My 5yr old son rarely eats much of his food when dining out, he’s more of a snacked/small meals throughout the day and he ate 3/4 of his pizza. Below is my leftover Chicken Piccata and a sliver of their fresh bread. I didn’t think my food could get any better, but this late night snack was 100% better. The chicken & vegetables marinated in the capers & sauce. If you are in the area, you should definitely stop by. I promise you won’t regret.“

“Food was great and service was awesome. I was craving a slice today“

“Good customer service Nice people Pizza store so clean and nice“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“Food was great! Wonderful dessert recommended by our server!!“

“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.“

“I attend The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Life Afterparty there and loved everything about Mother Wolf! The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy!“

“great dinner here the best food“

“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!!“

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

“Almond cake and coffee were just what I needed after walking the Highline.“

“This is a review by an Italian at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. The restaurant is in the heart of the city, a stone's throw from the shopping streets. The welcome is kind and the place has warm lights and a very well-attended environment. The cuisine is excellent. The pasta is as good as in Italy. Well done! Italian flavors on the Pacific coast“

“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!“

“Wow! This is a gem in Hollywood you cannot miss. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is unparalleled. My husband and I came here last minute on a Saturday before a Pantages show, sat at the bar… and everything from beginning to end was fantastic. As Pantages season ticket holders, this will definitely be our new go to spot before our shows moving forward!“

“100% recommend. thank you“

“OMG!! we came here before the Angus and Julia Stone concert (around the corner from the Orpheum Theatre) the last Saturday in June and what a cozy little joint this place is! We sat at the bar

Service was spot on, my wine was delicious (a Chenin Blanc) and the Bolognese Pappardelle was mouthwateringly good! The wine list consist of natural wines. Such a chill vibe in here but we were early in our reservations so keeping that in mind I'd say it might get busier the later the hour. Also be aware they do NOT take cash for payment of your meal. They do, of course for tips just not for the meal.

Not a lot of room in here so don't come with the thought of a romantic dinner for two where you can whisper sweet-nothings to one another without someone else overhearing hahaha.

Parking lot was well lit behind the building, it is shared with the Theater.

Respectfully Reviewed.“

“Ambiance is exceptional!
The service was careful and attentive and the food is flavorful. For the price point I hesitate to recommend the chicken, and our pizza was a litttttle burnt but again the flavors are great. The Caesar salad really stood out for me. And I would definitely recommend this to a friend for an intimate dinner.“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“Amazing delicious food and love the ambiance. The servers were awesome!!“

“Our server Sean was amazing!“

“Yummy wine as be delicious food!“

“I think the face on the first photo says it all!
We came to celebrate and celebrate we did.
We loved the food, service and the ambiance.

We started out with a house salad and a mozzarella. We also had penne alla vodka, rigatoni and snapper. Hearty servings and it was all delicious. We finished it off with a peanut butter pie.

My boyfriend asked to see a specific photo and the manager knew where it was right away so he could snap a photo with it.

Highly recommend going!“

“This is the 2nd time in 10 days that we had dinner at Vinici! We came both times with friends who were visiting from out of town. The food was amazing at both visits and so was the staff. Food - consistent and delish! The Pane with butter and Brussel Sprouts are a favorite of both visits! Service - Everyone is friendly and attentive. Ambiance - Love the music they play in the dining area!“

“We weren't spending a massive amount, but for us it was a lot, and our server made us feel special and went out of her way to make our entire experience special. The food was outstanding quality, with massive flavour hits in every mouthful. We loved the anchovies that came in their own tin, and whilst we each had very different primo dishes, each hit the spot for us precisely. My partner had a sorbet which was both rich and exotic - not a usual descriptor for a sorbet! We only ordered wine by the glass, but each choice met expectations precisely. All in all, a splendid occasion.“

“Really great service, way ahead of most LA restaurants. Food is delicious, staff is very attentive and well organized. There is always a “but”. Hostess are typical LA style “we are too important and fancy” girls making the very beginning of the evening pretty unpleasant. The rest of the night is 100% worth the time.“

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

“Everything about my reservation was great. The entire staff is so friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic. We left thinking about when we'd be back just to have the Fusilli alla Vodka again.
Pro tip! If you can’t find a reservation, set notifications on Resy for the times you are available. A few usually open up. Just be sure to have your credit card on file, they go fast! ?“

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

“Delicious food and drinks!“

“Great selection of cold cuts, bread and pastries but the service could improve, they expect everyone that goes in there have been there many times but there's people who have been there for the first time and they get treated rather harsh like I was“

“Great vibe, great food, AMAZING service!! Special shout out to Rachel who is fabulous and truly takes her time to make me and my partner feel so welcomed. Definitely get the garlic bread, spicy rigatoni or the chicken parm. Would recommend everyone to come here!! ?“

“Love and Salt is a great restaurant if you are looking for loud and energetic! It is not romantic or for a large family. It is very overpriced to me. Great chop salad, Great pizza's and Pasta. The drinks are way over priced 24.00! My son and I eat out a lot and like boogie restaurants but for 2 people and it was way over 200.00! But for a one time experience it is worth it.“

“I absolutely loved having dinner with my fiance here. This was our second time here. Service was excellent; attentive & charismatic. The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful & fresh. That chicken parm was crunchy & juicy - fried to perfection - with the most tangy & forward thinking marinara sauce on top. I left feeling completely satisfied & happy we spent our money.“

“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“

“I’m new to this not true to this lol. I never had Mortadella and it being pork scared me. I still ordered the La Paradiso (Mortadella, Stracciatella, Pistachio Cream, & Pistachio crumbles) bc WTH right? And I enjoyed it. It’s not like OMG but it feels really nice and comforting to eat. I’m glad I left it alone and didn’t substitute for Turkey! I would definitely buy again. The pistachio cream is very light but flavorful along with nuttiness and I never had such combination with a savory bread.

I know I’m going to be thinking about it for days. It leaves a nice after taste lol! It is $20 but it’s a big sandwich. I think it’s worth the price. Quality ingredients!“

“Excellent Restaurant! Delicious Italian food, great friendly, family atmosphere! Go and enjoy yourself and everything on the menu!! Love it!“

“The creamy pasta is my favorite.“

“I recently ordered takeout from Pura Vita and I had a great experience! As someone who follows a gluten-free and vegan diet, it can be challenging to find places that cater to both, but this restaurant exceeded my expectations and IT TASTES DELICIOUS!

The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes, all bursting with flavor. I tried the Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe and the meatball and it was great —perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes were generous, and I appreciated the fresh ingredients used in every bite. I’ll be back and highly recommend!“

“This is the most authentic Italian food in LA! The focaccia al formaggio di recco made me cry it was
that good. It’s the only place outside of Liguria I’ve ever tried it where it’s tasted as good as- probably because the owners Francesco and Francesca are from the region ! The custard donut and the crostata are also out of this world delicious“

“Good food and good service“

“Loved this newer spot on Lincoln! Came for lunch and got the chicken cutlet sandwich special (Wed/Th only). All I can say is wow. Soooooo good. 1. Bread was soft inside with the right crisp outside. Seasoned well and just enough butteriness. 2. Chicken was substantial and cooked perfectly. 3. Sauce and cheese just right as well.

Ample seating inside with a few outside patio tables.

Didn’t have any of the bread/pastries, but they looked delicious.“

“Good fare at a fair price...“

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

“My favorite part of my trip to LA/Beverly Hills! Edward is the GM. He is very personable, and he and his staff do a fantastic job! The homemade focaccia bread melts in your mouth. Yummy! Highly recommended!“

“We arrived at 5:30 on a Sunday night without a reservation. I recommend you make one if you don’t want to wait. There is not a lot of seating. It’s definitely a popular spot
The amazing hostess Tiara was helpful and welcoming and very informative.
We waited about 30 min and sat outside with a heater. It was very nice.
We had a bottle of wine that was delicious
We had the cheesy garlic bread, it was delicious and homemade for sure
The Ceasar salad had a great dressing and the croutons were all chopped into the salad which gave it a great crunch.
The spagetti and meatballs did not disappoint and the red shrimp and grits was rich creamy and delicious. 10 out of 10.“

“YO! This pasta. OH MY GOSH. I got the angel hair with the pink sauce and … it was one of the best things to grace my lips. It. Was. So. Good. I cannot wait to have my leftovers until later, so breakfast it is! Highly highly highly recommend checking this place out! And the service is absolutely incredible.“

“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!“

“Everything about this place is amazing. We were coming straight from the airport and ended up being 45 minutes late for our booking because of delays. Even though it was a Friday, the team accommodated us straight. The Roman focaccia is thin and crispy and perfect with the burrata. The peaches are the definition of California and go perfect with the salt and the burrata. For the mains the Margherita is light as can be with a fluffy crust. The limone, cacio e pepe and strangulate were amazing and the cacio e pepe was as good if not better than what I’ve had in Rome. The negroni was the ideal pairing.“
