50 Best Italian Restaurants near Pacoima

“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.“

“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. 🥩🍗👍❤“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“The food is delicious, normally I can't finish my plate but with my delicious pasta I made sure no single piece was left in my plate lol
I want to give 10 stars to the owner/manager who was the highlight of our day. He made us laugh with his jokes and funny sarcasm. It felt like we were invited to his home for a delicious meal, it didn't feel like it was a restaurant! The food and the atmosphere feels like home!“

“bomb bomb bomb! wont be disappointed“

“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 😘❤️😁“

“Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in LA. My husband and I visit here 2-4 times a month. All the locations are beautiful and unique, but our favorite is Sherman Oaks. It's our home local restaurant, and the entire staff knows us and takes great care of us. It was just our 17th anniversary, and the staff made us feel so special. But then again, they always make us feel special, so we just love everything about this place. Our go-to must-haves are the chicken sliders, fries, and the little gem. And to end the meal, we order vanilla lattes, the best cake and ice cream. It's simply the best!“

“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.“

“Our favourite Italian restaurant in LA is Vivi Ristorante in Valley Village, very happy to say they have started this weekend serving brunch

Started with the fresh fruit bowl , simply put fresh generous and delicious and a great way to wake up the taste buds for what was about to come

Tiramisu French toast .. unbelievably good, this was so delicious without being overly sweet, photo worthy beautiful presented and a star in its own right, it’s a must try

The Piccante breakfast sandwich - my new favourite breakfast sando , the Italian sausage beautifully seasoned, eggs light and fluffy with the Calabrian chilli’s sweetish subtle heat and the peppery arugula it’s comforting, delicious and a meal all on its own

Carbonara pizza - didn’t need it but ordered it anyway ! In house made base, light, crispy and the perfect base for the shredded mozzarella pancetta, parmigiana, black pepper and the most perfectly poached egg sitting in the middle, we had a slice each and boxed up the rest but just like everything else we tried , sensational

If you are on the Valley and want some seriously authentic satisfying and delicious Brunch then get your butt here , there is a whole range of mimosas and drinks plus espresso coffee ( menu in the pics )

Loved this place for dinner , love it twice as muc“

“Love Vitellos, feels like an awesome local secret, while being a classic la restaurant at the same time. Great food, amazing staff and fun night out. They always seem to find a way to connect to the neighborhood in new and interesting ways as well.“

“We went to the coolest little Italian place in the valley for Valentine's on a total whim. The entire place was themed, they had a fun violinist, the wait staff wore Valentine's glasses & vests, they had pink and red lights on the palm trees out front, heart shaped straws... it was so quirky and fun. Service was awesome, like the staff was actually having a good time and glad we were there. The food was AWESOME quality... everything homemade down to the freshly baked heart shaped bread. I don't recall if we've ever really 'celebrated' Valentine's day but going to this restaurant made it feel like an actual holiday. So fun and cute. Also, the prices & portions! Highly recommend to check this place out. Guessing they probably do other holidays as well. Grateful for an unexpected awesome night 🥰🤗“

“This is the go to restaurant when staying in LA. Food is always perfect. Service is exceptional, and honestly made to feel like family. After an amazing meal Bruce and Rene treated us to the most exquisite desserts that were truely to die for. This was the dining highlight of our US trip from Scotland and the best genuine hospitality we've experienced. Well done to all involved, wish you weren't 5000 miles away from where we live. Can't wait to come back.“

“Fantastic experience! I would’ve never known about this place had I not been passing by. Incredible selection of imported Italian goods. Try the imported prosciutto from the butcher shop, so delicious! We ordered a large meatball pizza and a bottle of mimosas and everything was tasty. Will be visiting this place often!“

“Their antipasto salad is fresh with a hefty serving of meats and cheese. Their Italian dressing seems like a secret recipe and their garlic bread is magical with the sesame seeds. I get one salad for dinner and one for lunch to take to work the next day.“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“First, I want to say that the restaurant is located in a beautiful area. Walking around the neighborhood was incredibly enjoyable and made the whole experience even better.

When it comes to the restaurant itself, I honestly don't have enough words to describe how amazing it was. I found out that the pasta is handmade rather than pre-made, and it's brought fresh from Italy every evening. That surprised me and made dining there even more special.

The pasta I ordered was prepared with white wine. The portion looked a bit small at first, but it was very filling and absolutely delicious.

I would also like to give special recognition to the manager. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, energetic, and made us feel comfortable throughout our visit. We were even treated to a delicious pasta that wasn't yet on the menu, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I will definitely come back just for that pasta!

Everything was excellent—the atmosphere, the people, the food, and the service. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I would love to see more seafood pasta dishes added to the menu, and I can't wait to visit again.“

“.  We usually have a very good experience however there was something off this last time. It was towards the end of the evening and they were only a few people left at the restaurant, we had to ask the waitress for our bread four times which was unusual. Otherwise, we appreciated the quiet atmosphere, the very nice wine and high  quality, wine glasses and the good food. We were a little bit disappointed because at the end of the evening we noted we smelled cigarette smoke coming from the back of the restaurant we felt was quite unprofessional. This is the only time we have been at the restaurant. The owner wasn't there and our perception was that there was a step down in discipline among the staff that day“

“great atmosphere..great service fine dining with fresh view spent 101$ feed five people with drinks 3 appetizers very fine experience..“

“Today was the first time I ordered anything from here I have been wanting to for awhile and I just found my new favorite place to eat chicken Alfredo it was bomb and I’m picking when it come to Alfredo dishes,great portions too.“

“Had the calamari, beef ravioli and bread pudding, it was very good.“

“excelent food and very friendly family. love this restaurant. one of my italian favorites Restaurant.“

“It looks perfected, they are very generous with the amount of cheese and toppings. I look forward to seeing you again :)“

“Came just before close on a Monday night to pick up a pepperoni. The shop is often bustling during lunch and dinner and the last few orders where getting boxed up as I came in. Grabbed the sodas we ordered and the pizza and headed out.

The pizza is delicious. A crunchy chewy crust throughout that makes you want to dip those crusts and a not too sweet sauce. While greasy, the pepperoni and cheese taste great and the ratio of toppings is perfect. Even the flat parts of curust offer a little crunch as you bite. I'm not an expert by any means but my wife who technically came from Brooklyn as a wee lass gives it a stamp of approval. If I recall correctly we had a couple slices ages ago here and the white pie should not be missed.“

“I've been, "one of the longest" fan's or person tasting the "Miceli's Italian ⁷Restaurants Food for the past 60 yrs now because I got hooked on it when I was 3yrs old. So 63 yrs old and I'm 63 yrs old. It happens to be the best I've ever had and I've been around the world and I have sampled Italian food everywhere a round the United States and in Europe but something about Miceli's food I grew up eating there "Food" is because all those recipes came from my family. See I am the great nephew of " The late founder of Miceli's, "Mr. Carmen Miceli" my "Great Uncle" and my "Great Aunt " Millie and of course My Grandmother "Angie" are siblings along with there two brothers my Great Uncle's Tony(Anthony) and Sam, with there parents and let's not forget my Great Uncle "Rocky" came to a Southern California in the late1940's after the (World War Two) and (Korean Wars) and were coming to California to open a restaurant. You guessed it Miceli's in 1949 and "My MOM" was only 9 yrs old they indeed open the Restaurant in Hollywood,California. then some years later"I" became "a" Hot Idem in which I was born so make a long story short we used to eat all and I mean, all the time there and have family functions there and I and my sisters and other cousins would go and ŵork [helped] out and learned how to cook and learned now to prep the food at the famous " Kitchen"across from the world famous Hanna Barbera cartoon studio's and just across the Hollywood frwy and just down the hill from the "City walk" by the Sherton Hotel at the Universal Studio's but it was the "Commissary" for the 4 other restaurant's in the Hollywood, and surrounding areas. So us kids learned how to cook from the best. So Memory Lane tells a tall story. Not only because it's my Family Owned Restaurant, but many critics have Eaton there and posted "Great reviews" but over the years, there has been tens of thousands of customers who have Eaton there and they to have there own versions and great story's about there fine visited to one or so restaurants in the Los Angeles area year after year and again while visiting the L.A. area on yearly business. Thank you Miceli's for serving me Cousin Perry and all the other customers who have stopped by to eat and enjoy the show of Professional Opeŕa singers waiting to go to a show somewhere around the world on tour to perform on "Broadway" or a "Opera house" then they come home to Miceli's to wait for there next gig or show, but for the last70 plus year we the people or customers or even us "The Family" Thank you from the bottom of our heart's thanks for the Memorie's and Great times. Sincerely, your cousin Big Perry and "Die hardcustomers“

“I've been going here for 15 years. I also order out. I wanted to put a 4 stars.
Ok here's the deal. I get PERFECT meatballs each and every time.
ALMOST.
Sometimes the meatballs taste OFF. Once in 20 times.
I just tastes like they ground other parts into the meat stock which shouldn't be there. Like entrails or something.
And there no warning us patrons.
As if I couldn't tell.

Since I get 19 out of 20 perfect ground meatballs, its hard to complain. But I wanted to get that out there. I mean, WHO LIKES SURPRISES? You know?“

“Quality ingredients and exceptional service with consistency make this a great experience for every visit. There is something for everyone on the menu. The place is approachable, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious and fairly priced.“

“This has ALWAYS been thee place to get a Delicious Pizza, scrumptious Bread, and yummy Lasagna! After 60 years, it is still Simply the Best! Outstanding service provided by Ricci which made our dining experience wonderful! Everyone cares about the customer all the way to the top! Joan listens to the customers to make sure that the food is the BEST and it IS! You MUST go to Chi-Chi's when you're in Northridge!“

“we were lucky to have our baby shower at casa de pizza and joel and eddie are amazing owners. i was getting overwhelmed looking for venues and catering our baby shower, and we were so grateful that casa de pizza were open to having us. from day one, eddie and joel were responsive and put together a really nice menu with a drink package that was EXTREMELY REASONABLE for pricing. the baby shower itself was fantastic - pizza was solid, the pitchers were flowing, and the antipasto salad, wings, and lasagna were delicious. joel was on the floor making sure everyone was taken care of, and i cannot tell you how nice it was to walk in, celebrate, and walk out without having to worry about a thing. they even offered to let come a little earlier to decorate which was a nice gesture.

i also wanted to mention that we live in the neighborhood and have been going to casa de pizza since before new ownership. i've felt that the pizza and pasta are still very good, so i am surprised to read that people aren't satisfied. they've made some very positive changes by opening orders up for online and pick up. if you OG customers remember, we'd all have to fight each other calling the phone line just to get an order in, and it'd take us a solid 20 minutes of hearing the busy tone before getting someone to take our order, wait an hour, then pick it up. change is scary because it's new, but i feel like eddie and joel honor the tradition and respect of what casa de pizza was meant to be - your neighborhood pizza parlor.

we look forward to celebrating future birthdays and events here - they made it so easy and effortless so that we could enjoy our day.“

“There were 4 of us dining in for a late lunch/ early dinner. It's a very comfortable place with a great menu and awesome desserts. The owner works there and the staff is awesome and friendly. If you want to adjust your selection a bit they are happy to help in any way possible! The portions are good size to share. We love going there and the staff makes it cozy and welcoming. Thank you Antonio's for taking such good care of us and making our visit a wonderful experience. We look forward to our next visit soon!“

“Thank you all very much see everybody soon My Respect God Bless you and your family the food was great ❤️🙏🏻🥋“

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

“It's a long ride to NYC, so we settle for Fernanda's for your New York pizza fix.“

“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.“

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“We had wonderful food and service. I had the gnocchi with meat sauce. Absolutely delicious.“

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

“Been going to this restaurant for years. The food has always been good, particularly the pizza.“

“The hostess/server was welcoming and had a pleasant smile upon arriving. We were able to pick our own table and was attended right away. Ordered the Fried Calamari to start-lightly breaded with a really good marinara sauce. Ordered the Lasagna-super decadent in sauce and cheese, very good. Didn't feel rushed to leave by staff to accommodate other reservations despite being a Friday night. Wonderful spot if you love a great selection of Italian food. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Will definitely come back in the near future.“

“You need reservations although they have a bar you can sit at but that gets crowded too. As Jon & Vinny’s is popular. They also have outdoor seating with heaters (if needed). A take out window at the back of the building where valet is.

The interior is modern, simple and clean. Every time I come in here idk why but it reminds me of the show “The Bear”. Maybe it’s cause everyone’s on top of it, services is quick, everything is calculated and very organized. I would assume so because they’re always busy and they gotta keep a smooth rhythm which you can tell.

Food is always delicious no matter what you order. Portions are a perfect amount. Pizza’s are 6 thin slices.

My favorite pasta is the Spaghetti Limone and Corn Ravioli two completely different flavors but each an explosion of unique flavors.

My favorite pizza is White Lightning although this time we ordered the pepperoni Little Nat’s which was great too.

Dessert wise all the cookies are great! I love the Nonna’s lemon cookie and the rainbow cookie. They used to have a dessert with olive oil I never got the chance to try it and it’s currently off the menu.

I had my birthday dinner here and enjoyed it!“

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