“Always supporting our local community District 29 La Chuleta Fresca has the best quality in the San Fernando Valley! Highly recommended Jaime Tapia & Rosie Ortiz Tapia. 🥩🍗👍❤“

“Guido's Pizza is the best all-around. Whether it's the one in Sylmar on Polk and Glen Oaks or the one on Osborne and Glen Oaks. You can never go wrong. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted, and both places treat you with respect.Guido's Pizza was a big hit for my son's school. It was delivered on time for the school party they were having. I ordered two extra large peporoni pizza's and my son said that all the pizza's that were not from Guido's were never touched once.The kids were amazed with Guido's that even the parents asked me where I got the Pizza because they wanted to buy some for the holidays.Five stars to both Guidos Pizza.“

“I wish I could give this place 100 stars! This is hands-down one of the best, most family-friendly spots in our community. We’ve been coming here for years, and every time, they deliver an amazing experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent—and the warm, welcoming environment keeps us coming back.
Our most recent visit was just as wonderful. Our server was incredible—he took his time with our kids, was so patient, and made sure even our youngest felt included when placing his own order. That kind of kindness and attention to detail means a lot, especially to families with little ones.
The service is fast, the staff is always friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is just perfect for a casual night out or a weekend treat. You can tell this place truly values its customers and takes pride in everything they do.
We really hope they stay in this location for many years to come. It’s so important to have places like this in the neighborhood—where great food, great people, and great memories come together. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“

“Nice clean store and food was delicious. The girl at the front was so friendly and answered me questions about the menu. I ended up getting the lasagna garlic bread salad combo and it was so good and for less than $15! I ate the garlic bread first cuz it was so good that's why it's not in the picture LOL.“

“🥃🙂👍 Jeff is a great bartender!“

“Excellent Italian food. Fine dining. Great for special occasions.“

“5 stars sorpresa meraviglioso ristorante, my first time here and i love It Good ambiance excellent food very cozy. buon appetito.“

“I recently visited Oliva Trattoria, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The restaurant has an immaculate, authentic Italian atmosphere—warm lighting, clean presentation, and a staff that treats every detail with care. I started with their Margherita pizza, which was executed perfectly: a blistered, airy crust, vibrant tomato sauce, and fresh mozzarella that blended into each bite. It's a simple dish, but Oliva Trattoria elevates it with true Italian precision. The handmade pasta dishes were the highlight of the night. The pappardelle tartufo was incredibly rich and aromatic, with the perfect balance of truffle flavor and silky, fresh pasta. The ravioli matched that quality—delicate, beautifully filled, and bursting with fresh ingredients. Altogether, Oliva Trattoria delivered one of the best Italian meals I've had in recent memory, and it's a spot I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine.“

“I’ve had to drive to Burbank frequently for work every so often over the last 2 years, and without fail, I always stop here for a pick me up!

Whether it’s a break to use the restroom and stretch while grabbing a delicious home style meal, or picking up some cookies or gelato before a long drive home. The team at Monte Carlo’s have the best attitude and never fail to brighten up any kind of day.

The perfect place for a comfort meal and good company.“

“Great Service and food is so delicious!! The Best servers!! Carolina thank you for always taking care of us.. ❤️“

“Good food … we go there a lot … garlic bread, Italian food. I love the turkey and provolone salad.“

“Delicious food, I enjoyed myself there and the spaghetti was great just like expected 🧡“

“Good food - great service“

“So happy to have tried Sugo! I only dipped my toes into the flavor pool ordering only the French Fries and the Meatballs and sauce! Having had an Italian Chef for a Father, I grew up being able to tell good Italian flavors from a simple dish like Meatballs and Sauce (gravy)! Both were excellent from Sugo! Hot from heat, great texture and fine flavors and plenty of food! I'm looking forward to delving deeply into the menu next time! The rest of the family dinner was a hit with everyone too! Great food for the price! I highly recommend Sugo!“

“No complaints to speak of, it's all good but nothing's out of this world... You'll never be disappointed, but don't expect a gourmet experience. Pizza was...pizza. the wings were fat and VERY well sauced, and the salad was a salad. We got the Manager's special.“

“Always a hit for a group meal, date night, catch up with a friend. I've had at least 3 birthday meals (brunch/dinner) between this location and West Hollywood. The flavors/execution of the food is truly top notch, and the decor and ambience is always so cute, warm, and comforting.“

“I’m big fan of wood fire Pizza. Finally a halal spot. MashaAllah pizza is amazing. I love the crust. And the pizzas are light, so we got a couple options for me and my family.“
