50 Best Italian Restaurants near North Hollywood

“🥃🙂👍 Jeff is a great bartender!“

“We came here to wait for our hotel, Peter at the bar was wonderful. Great atmosphere, food, and staff!“

“This place is an absolute gem. Food is better than most formal sit down restaraunts at a fraction of the price. Great value for the quality, large portions too. It shocks me that there’s not a like out the door on a daily basis. It’s a must try lunch spot in the valley.“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“The food was okay but it did taste a little cheap. Overall, it's pizza and for the price, especially in Los Angeles I'd say you'd have to come here and try it yourself.

I believe the store is locally owned so that's excellent.“

“I had thin crust personal pizza $5. Seriously 6 slices! My daughter and granddaughter had personal hand tossed with their own choice of topping. We added a regular salad to share. Yummy dinner. Great price. Very easy online order and nice personnel when we picked up.“

“This was truly one of those rare customer service experiences you don’t often encounter. My spouse and I ordered delivery from NOHO Pizza Man, but unfortunately, the order didn’t meet our expectations, and we were left quite disappointed. After initially speaking with an employee and not making much progress, we received a call about 30 minutes later from the manager, Arno.
From the moment the conversation began, Arno was an absolute gentleman. He offered a sincere apology, listened attentively to our concerns, and handled everything with such professionalism and grace. We were genuinely impressed by his respectful and courteous demeanor.
Without hesitation, Arno refunded the full amount of our order, stating it was simply the right thing to do. That gesture, along with his exceptional customer service, earned our respect and appreciation.
Thanks to Arno, we will definitely be giving NOHO Pizza Man another chance. It’s rare to find that level of integrity and care in a business, and it made all the difference.“

“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 …“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

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

“Every single thing is delicious. Trying to hit the whole bingo card 🤩 Also Micheal, best server 🥇“

“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!“

“100% recommend. thank you“

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

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

“I've dined here sporadically in the last 10 years and every time I get the chance to visit, everything is consistent and on point. Quality is amazing, service is efficient and friendly and gracious, ambiance is so cute. Since COVID - restaurants have been ... disappointing to say the least, but not at RAO's. Thank you so much. You guys are amazing and give me hope.“

“I’ve always been curious about this restaurant, and I’m so glad I finally went! The service was fantastic and super friendly. They even helped us pick out our plates. I absolutely loved my lasagna—it’s seriously one of the best I’ve ever had. Plus, the sodas are so authentic, I can’t get enough. And the best part I was sitting right next to the grove water fountain!“

“Three of us went to this lovely spot this week. The food was delicious, especially the beet salad. There was confusion in regards to the food being brought out to the correct table (the people next to us had ordered the same thing) but the manager went above and beyond to make it right. Well worth a visit. It took a 5 minute wait to be seated at 6:30pm on a Friday night which I thought was very reasonable!“

“It was our first time here. Most of the seating is outside, which can be problematic if you get cold easily, but would be wonderful most of the time in great LA weather. The food was good & the service was attentive. We will definitely go back!“

“Wonderful staff, great service, everything was delicious.“

“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. 🤩 ❤️“

“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

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

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

“My friend and I had a terrific dinner last night at Civico 2064. We were looking for a quiet place for a tasty bite and this was a fantastic spot. Brandon greeted us at the door and made sure everything about the meal was perfect. The space is large but still felt cozy and the atmosphere is very inviting. We order a tasty starter to share and the short rib pasta which was sublime. I am Italian and the freshly made pasta and delicate, yet robust sauce, reminded me of my ancestral home in italy. There are plenty of authentic Italian options as well as a really interesting and large vegan menu. I love vegan food and can't wait to return and sample some things from that side of the menu. This is a terrific local eatery that feels both special and homey and we will definitely be back.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“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 🤩“

“My husband and I loved this place! The best Italian sandwiches we have had in a while. We even liked it better than the viral All’antico Vinaio. We also got the tiramisu at the end, and after going to Italy this past summer this was the closest and best to the real deal. Also got a latte and their coffee is also amazing. If you are in the area definitely give this place a try.“

“Our food was excellent! We had the Brussels sprouts, Pasta alla Norma, and the Cacio e Pepe. Great service, great food! Just a heads up that it’s very loud inside when it’s crowded. Fun, but not super conducive to conversation without speaking loudly.“

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

“We’ve been coming for over a year now, and every time we go the service is top notch. The owner takes a moment to talk to us and to make sure we are having a great time. Their cuisine is exquisite, better than other over-rated Italian restaurants in the valley. They always surprise you with their delicious tiramisu dessert.
If you’re craving Italian food, this restaurant will always hit the spot.“

“I would describe De La Nonna as an elevated pizza restaurant. As with most pizza joints, they serve up beer, salad and pizza, but this not your standard fare.

Start off with a craft beer, wine, or a fancy cocktail (or mocktail). Lots of choices to be had.

For starters, we ordered the market salad which had a fantastically light tangerine(?) dressing. The dressing on the ceaser salad was a bit heavy, but it was still tasty.

The eggplant caponata appeared to have been lightly fried and coated in a sweet and savory sauce. Very good.

As for the pizzas, all were insanely good. Each was like a pillowy soft deep dish pizza and they all came with the best crispy edges.

IMO the roasted mushroom pizza was the best — and I'm not a fan of mushrooms.

Prices are a bit higher than you would find at a typical pizza place, but again, these are not your typical pizzas. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere, chill.

Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate customers with celiacs.“

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

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

“Funke does many things right, yet still manages somehow to feel both warm but not inviting at the same time.

It’s odd to me because I recently met Chef Evan Funke and he seemed to be a super nice and warm guy(and clearly very talented), yet his spirit seems to not shine as bright as it could in this particular environment.

A protege of Wolfgang Pucks from back in the day, he himself has become quite a celebrity chef with hundreds of thousands of followers on IG, and all the other things: book, tv appearances, etc…

I believe he’s considered the “Pasta God of California!”

While I have yet to try his other concepts, Mother Wolf (Hollywood) and Felix Trattoria(Venice Beach) Funke is his newest addition to his portfolio of eateries, if not a huge departure in menu from the other two; freshly made authentic Italian pastas and elevated pizzas and animal proteins with a thoughtful bar and wine list. It’s all very good.

The standouts are the squash blossoms and pizza for me, and olive oil infused craft cocktail, but I have yet to try the pastas so cannot comment.

I’m giving this a 4/5 because I can’t help but feel that Funke can’t decide what experience it truly wants to give you. As I said, it’s warm, but not necessarily inviting.

All that said, add it to your list for fine-dining in Beverly Hills. It’s worth going for the open-air rooftop bar and squash blossoms alone.“

“One of the best I’ve had “out” in a very long time.“

“（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.“

“The service was great. The ambience was great. The pasta was amazing. The only thing I thought was just ok was the 24 oz. Porcini-Rubbed Bone-in Ribeye finished with 25yrs Aceto Balsamico. Not sure if it was the sauce but the steak was just ok but for the price I was anticipating the taste and quality to be like that of Chi Spacca next door. Overall the meal was great I just had high expectations.“

“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 🙏🏽❤️“

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