“The food quality and service has always been great at this restaurant. However, the menu was very limited. We were pleasantly surprised at last nights visit when we saw that they had expanded the menu. There are now plenty of appetizer and entree options. My son loved the smash burger. The chicken piccata was also excellent as was the steak.“
“I go back for food. Reminiscent of corner restaurants where Mafia whacks their rival bosses. No, not a first hand recollection unless watching Godfather movies counts.I really like the cooking. Mondays, the main cook takes a day off. But Mondays are still goodThe wait staff tries, but not very polished.“
“Loved this place!! Great food at a very fair price!! Excellent staff. A real asset to Dos Vientos community and Newbury Park. So sorry to hear that they closed. Too bad the new restaurant changed the menu. Maybe they will reopen or another restaurant will open and have a similar menu. There was really nothing like it in Newbury Park.“

“This is my favorite restaurant ever since I discovered it. The food is almost uniformly excellent. I took a chance on the swordfish this time, even though I gave up on ordering it in restaurants decades ago since they always overcook it, and it was perfect. We told them beforehand we were celebrating a birthday, and they brought out a plate of several little desserts, artistically arranged. And since they cancelled my reservation a couple of weeks ago due to having to make some kind of repairs, they started the meal with free bruchetta. On all days except Friday and Saturday, there's free corkage. But the best thing about it is the lovely ambiance and friendliness of the entire staff. I can't praise this place highly enough.“
“Ate at this restaurant for the first time. I couldn't believe how busy it was at five o'clock in the afternoon on a Saturday. Usually when you come early, you can get a table. However, this place is very tiny, and every single table was taken. We had to eat at one of their outside tables. After we got the food; I understood why it was so busy. There were 3 of us & we all ordered something different so we could sample each other's food. I must say everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I can't usually say that about a restaurant. Usually, one or two items are good, and the other ones are okay. However, everything we ordered was very tasty and seasoned very well. We had a fish, Risotto, Eggplant parmesan & a fantastic bread appetizer. Excellent restaurant. They definitely need more tables and a bigger place.“
“We always enjoy sitting on either patio and the heater lamps made it very comfortable. Our server was very pleasant and provided excellent service. The bus staff is always courteous and professional. The charcuterie board is a favorite of ours and is beautifully presented and delicious, especially the honey, a nice touch. My son always orders the steak, which is consistently cooked to perfection. A wonderful dining experience except for the table next to us which was conducting a loud FaceTime call , rude and lacking in consideration for others around them. Didn't stop us from enjoying our wonderful meal and great service.“
“Very good ? pizza options, all on a thin crust, and several pasta options. They also serve beer and wine, but they have no ice for sodas. Nice to have a good place to go for pizza that is somewhat unique from the standard places. Nice to have this in Moorpark's Target center. We will return.“
“Fantastic little deli. They have lots of homemade Italian family favorites like guanciale, or hard to find Italian foodstuffs.But the real delight is for under $10 they have the best sandwiches in town, hands down. I get the six inch Italian Deli sandwich anytime I'm around for lunch and it's always the perfect amount of food and a great sandwich for the money.“
“After trying a few pizza places in the area… We’ve believe we found the one! The pizza is flavorful -the sauce is flavorful. The meatball sub has good sized meatballs and is well flavored. There is something for everyone in this world and this place is for us!“
“A client took my boss, and the hole crew out to dinner at Rusticos an Italian restaurantIt was excellent. You could tell the food was created by a real chef. Every bite was excellent. I had the salmon.I was impressed by everything they served . 5***** ratingWe loved our dinner“
“Love Butler's Pizza! Hardworking owner and his family have always greeted my wife and I with a smile and friendly hello. Excellent menu, reasonable prices, delicious food. Their sourdough pizza crust is our favorite, highly recommended! There are lots of pizza options in T.O. and Westlake, but Butler's is our personal choice.“
“My favorite place to eat pasta! The food is delicious, and the service is the best, great staff!Vegetarian options: Pesto, fettuccine, pompedora, zucchini noodles,salads,bread.Parking: Parking is easily accessible and free.Kid-friendliness: I have seen kids with their families many times.Wheelchair accessibility: I believe there is wheelchair parking and the restaurant is on the first floor“
“It feels very warm and comfortable inside and being able to enjoy the pizza with wings is a must experience, especially pasta selections. NY Pizza makes me feel back at home.Vegetarian options: Cheese pizzas, pastas, salads.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available.Parking: Parking space is not large, but availableKid-friendliness: Family friendly for everyone of all ages in my experience.Wheelchair accessibility: Able to accommodate according to needs“
“This restaurant is a gem. We rediscovered it after a long time away. The service is EXCELLENT! The ambiance is wonderful. You can tell the owner cares about his customers and his staff. The food is delicious! We had the meatball appetizer, various pasta dishes with oil and garlic or basil. Also the eggplant and policastro were yummy. Wine list is well thought out and reasonable. Got to try it! Make a reservation“
“Italian restaurant located in Westlake Plaza & Center in Lake Sherwood.Visited at 6pm. Since it was daylight saving time, we were guided outside to the terrace while it was still daylight.Clam chowder was delicious. The Caesar was also delicious with the sweetness of fresh romaine lettuce.I didn't really like the pasta or shrimp, but I do recommend the hazelnut gelato.“
“We got two lunch specials... The chicken parmigiana and the eggplant parmigiana. YUM! Both came with spaghetti w/marinara sauce, a garlic knot, cans or fountain drinks (they have every selection) and a delicious fresh COLD salad. Dressing was great. When I got back home 10 minutes later, hot food was piping hot. May seem a little pricey for a lunch special ($16.99 and $15.99) but it's a GREAT deal because after lunch it's $22, no drink (worth it either way.) You get what you pay for. Sauce is excellent - tastes like my Italian Grandma spent hours over the stove. Takes me four or five hours to make a sauce that tastes like that. 10 out of 10. Just a touch of sweetness, exactly the way I love it. The chicken and eggplant and salad were great, seasoned just right. My first time here but I will definitely be back to try the pizza. Other reviewers called it a hole in the wall, but I thought it was very nice and clean with great "pizza place" vibe. Other reviewers didn't like the servers, but mine (young man) was very nice and attentive. So all in all, we got two huge meals, which were actually equal to four meals - all for under $35 including drinks, salad, and rolls. Can't wait to try the pizza!!! Kudos to the owners!“
“Great time here! I loved the food. It really reminds me of the food I had in Italy. My group had the Spicy Chicken Rigatoni, the Eggplant Parmigiana, and a Chopped Antipasto Salad. All were so great and fresh! The server was so attentive and when I asked about catering for an event coming up soon, Ryan (one of the managers) came over and spoke with us and helped us out with options. Really happy with this restaurant and experience!!“
“This is a cool place to eat. They had love music, more than one bar area. We sat at the "outside" area and since it was cooler, they had plastic down on the sides and infrared heaters going, so it was nice. Had the burger special of the month that was amazing. Great service and drinks too! I highly recommend trying this place out.Parking: Parking can get challenging during peak hours.“
“I’ve been to Boccaccio’s many times on a Saturday night for dinner. For my birthday, 5 of us had dinner & sat in the back area above the lake. Service was slower than usual, and our food was luke warm when served. My eggplant parmigiana wasn’t cooked all the way, and also luke warm. Overall we all enjoyed our dinner, but felt we were in the land of the lost , we’ll come back, perhaps just an off night??Vegetarian options: Eggplant parmigiana-pasta primavera, apple walnut salad, pasta with basil & tomatoesParking: The parking lot is huge, plenty of spots, not many handicapped spots that we saw. Can easily use a wheelchair or walker into the restaurant.“

“I've been coming here for over 30 years, if that's possible. Really great staff. The pepperoni pizza is awesome, not too crisp and not too soggy. Had just the right amount of flop and crisp. In New York City we would first fold the narrow tip of the pizza triangle backwards and then fold the slice in half and that's what I'm able to do here. Very generous with the fresh tasting mozzarella and other toppings. Somehow stays piping hot for the five or 10 minute ride home. I always get a roof of the mouth burn because it's so delicious I can't wait for it to cool down!! excellent value especially if you use the coupons. Very consistent, delicious pizza. Thanks, Ameci's!!!“
“Their deli is a hidden gem.A friend recently tried their jam packed classic Italian sub and it looked so good I had to try it myself.I never even knew this deli existed.Jim happily welcomed my family for the 1st time and was kind enough to let us sample some of their fresh homemade bread and a hot calabrese that I might like in my sub.Sandwich itself was both delicious & stuffed with a heaping portion of ingredients like peppers, provolone and more. (Best part is whatever you like they’ll find a recommendation fit for you in a sandwich)Definitely would be back ??“

“Hands down the best pizza in Thousand Oaks! The staff is fantastic and it smells great when you walk in! Smells like an old school pizzeria! It's clean and inviting, they welcome you like family! I ordered a large pie with pepperoni, sausage and meatballs, a large antipasto & cannolis! All extremely delicious, portions are generous! Will definitely recommend & will absolutely come back! Gracci Mille!“
“The best Marinara sauce I have had on the west coast! So vibrant and full of flavor! Its not scorched! No bitterness from overcooked tomato sauce! Thank you! The chicken Marsala is divine...so smooth. The Chicken Picasa nice and tender. Tiramisu to tempt the tastebuds...superb. Service is spot on and very attentive. Look no further...this is it!“
“So far we have twice been to fattes doing a pickup order, grabbing the 2 large 3 topping pizza deals for just over $30! To be able to feed my family of 7 with quality, fresh made pizza at this price is a diamond in the rough type of situation.Fattes is a small mom and pop type of location, so unless you are a small party or solo, you may be interested in their delivery or pickup options as seating will be limited.Don't let that deter you though, the staff at the front are young but they are quick and courteous taking orders and getting you out the door, making sure to offer you parm and crushed red pepper packets before ya go. Drink options are all canned and bottled from 12 oz. can all the way up to 2 liter with a decent selection to round out your pizza night.New return customer earned! Thanks Fattes!“
“It is very good authentic Italian food. I’ve had a couple of meals here and they both tasted great. However, they don’t have a very large menu and there were only a few things on the menu that sounded good. It’s also one of the few places I go where none of the appetizers sound too appetizing. It’s not that I think the food will taste bad, it just doesn’t excite me and make me interested in ordering it. The staff is very attentive and helpful. It’s a great restaurant, I just wish they had more things in line with my tastes.“
“There is a new owner who is the son of the first owners, a lovely couple from Italy. The pizza is not only delicious but it's just 7.99 a slice cheese only. Ricardo and his wife work hard and are really bringing in some new tasty items and they've earned my biz!“

“Great food for dinner. Wonderful discovery. We knew desserts were extraordinary but had no idea they served lunch and dinner. What a sweet surprise. We came in on a celebrity chef night as well. A great meal!4 stars on the atmosphere only because it doesn't feel warm and cozy. A bit cafeteria- ish feeling for a sit-down meal.“
“Took some older ladies from my neighborhood for lunch on a day it was raining. Pizza Cookery had fresh food and marvelous service. In fact when our server found out that 2 of us had birthday’s she gave us a free dessert and we had already paid and we’re getting ready to leave. What a fun day to celebrate there. Needs a little redecorating/update and I had a rough time finding it as it’s stuck in an office park next door to a Hotel. But totally worth the time!! Loved it and will be back. ?Dietary restrictions: Had enough options for my vegetarian diet.“

Each dish is expertly crafted with authentic Italian flavors that transported me straight to the streets of Italy.The service at Lucerne was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about their food. They were more than happy to recommend dishes and provide insight into the ingredients and preparation methods.What truly sets Lucerne apart is their commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every dish was bursting with vibrant flavors and showcased the chef's dedication to creating an unforgettable dining experience.The cozy atmosphere, delectable food, and exceptional service at Lucerne make it a must-visit for any lover of Italian cuisine.

“This is the best place to introduce your children to the idea of buying local. This place is the epitome of this is our neighbors business and we want to support it. On top of that they make great food here and a great place to celebrate any kind of win your children have for sports or academics. There is nothing like eating while a cool model train goes around the whole restaurant. The ambience is amazing. The service is awesome.“
“This place is amazing, some of the best pizza I’ve had from amicci’s. The inside is updated and looks awesome as well, the owners are awesome people and deserve the support of Simi Valley. I suggest everyone try this place out. You won’t be disappointed.“
“GABRIEL IS THE BEST GENERAL MANAGER I HAVE EVER MET. The incredible enthusiasm he carries and the CARE he has for all of his customers. They’re not even his customers they’re his family. This man deserves a raise. Thank You Gabriel and your team for an amazing experience. I live in Oxnard but this makes me was to drive all the way out here just for the experience.“
“I ordered two thin margarita pizzas and chicken wings for my son’s sleepover and it was a big smash hit. “He’s a genius “ they said. The pizza is super thin, with exotic pizzas like Bel Air or Getty pizza. Great pasta, salad and beer and wine too. Casual and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend. Family owned. Support a small business.Parking: Spots out front“
“Wanted some tasty food at a good price for my daughter and I. The server was very positive and enthusiastic, the food was really good. Had an alfredo dish and a carbonara dish after a bunch of salad... loved it. To top or off, for $6, we got a spaghetti dish to go. Though to beat.“

“Came in at 3:45p and sat at the bar, super nice bartender, let me order off the dinner menu which didn't technically start until 4, so was happy. Ordered the Stracciatella (sp?) From the mozzarella bar which is grilled ciabatta topped with Fig spread, burrata, and Prosciutto that they formed into roses. Everything was beautiful and delicious ? A new favorite spot!“
“I just recently dined at this hidden gem because a friend (who regularly dines there) suggested it. I say "hidden gem" because the hotel property is obviously a staple in Westlake, as is the very popular Stonehaus, where we'd been hanging out earlier in the day. For some reason, the fine dining spot has always flown under the radar for me. Despite being a very busy weekend night, the hostess/management team was very communicative and nice (even though we didn't have a reservation). We did have to wait for a bit, but it wasn't crazy long...pretty much as expected for a weekend night. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and I tried one of their specialty cocktails while we were waiting for a table. Roberto (bartender) made a flawless old fashioned kinda cocktail. Our server Jen was attentive, knowledgeable and so nice. We took most of her recommendations and they didn't disappoint. I had a salmon sushi app and the branzino - both so good. I'll definitely be back to dine on their gorgeous patio once the weather warms up. Probably gonna be my new fav spot - seriously can't believe I hadn't been before!“

“First time I order here was for my daughter birthday party that was being held at Kids World. I have to say that I'm a bit picky when it comes to new places especially when you are feeding others. I order pizzas, salads and wings. It was all delicious. Everyone was saying how great the food was and there were no left overs lol.“
“This is by far my favorite place to grab a slice or a sandwich, hands down. The food, especially the Bomber and cheese pizza, is amazing. The ingredients melt in my mouth and provided a symphony of flavor that is unmatched. The owners, Jessica and Tony, are kind, polite, and professional. They really care about making an impact in the community. What a blessing this business is!“
“Got to together with some work friends. Sat at one of the picnic tables. Pretty cool set-up. Small working vineyard. Cafe style. Cheeseburger was large and juicy. Fries were done right. Pizza was tasty. Non gluten Margherita pizza was delicious. Was a fun place to hang out with people. Fairly crowded on a Sunday. Good place to relax, sample some wine and get a bite to eat.“
“We had a wonderful experience - there was a live band so we couldn't really talk so we just enjoyed it and sang along. Our waiter was very nice but there was a mix up - still, he was kind and got it taken care of. My dinner was really delicious - I got the salmon plate. My husband got gnocchi and wanted a little more flavorful sauce. Still in all we had a wonderful evening!!“
“Simply the best pizza in town. Never disappoint, The pasta, sandwiches and salads excellent. Highly recommend this place .Kid-friendliness: It's very kid-family friendly place . Parking very easy and plenty of spacesParking: Plenty of free parking spaces“
“Food was really good. I've been to Italy and Maggiano's little italy and I must say the food was almost as good. The best part it's less expensive also. We went for my sisters bday on a really crowded night but still had a great experience.“
“We really enjoy Cedro because it feels like Italy. The food is authentic, scratch-made Italian. Like in most restaurants you'll find in Italy, their wines are chosen to compliment their food. Be sure you ask about the nightly specials. The staff is attentive and friendly. It's about you. The decor is comfortable but plain. Service is not rushed. Go there with others who like to converse. I hope you have a good evening!“
