16 Best Italian Restaurants in Torrance

“Amazing food, the buratta caprese was excellent. Showed up 45 minutes before my reservation and they got me a table within 10 minutes. Wine and desserts were top notch. Seafood pasta on point. It was a busy dinner rush so there were some longer than usual waits to getting refills, more bread, getting the check. But overall the atmosphere and food make it a must visit.“

“The service at this place was phenomenal. I was craving aglio olio e peperoncino and asked if they could make it for me even though it was not on their menu, and they did. It did taste great ? the mussel and veal dishes were satisfying but not phenomenal though.“

“This place is a South Bay gem! The coffee is the best I have found in our area, the owner/staff are super friendly, and the food is fresh & delicious. In the morning, it's packed but service is still efficient. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a latte and a crostini!“

“BEST PIZZA IN THE SOUTH BAY! My boyfriend introduced me to this little gem a few years ago and I can honestly say any other pizza I try since doesn't come close to the amazing taste that Jack's pizza makes. We're lucky enough to live 3 minutes away from this place, so we usually pick up and bring the pie home, but it's always piping hot and perfection every time. I honestly don't go anywhere else for pizza since my first bite of Jack's pizza, and I can pretty much guarantee you won't either. This place has been around for a long long time, I think somewhere around the 80's and I hope they stay around making magic in the kitchen for many years to come. A sincere thanks to all the staff at Jack's! Stay awesome and don't change!“

“Best vegan pizza in LA!! The crust is perfect, the plant-based cheese is the best I’ve ever had, and all in all it’s delicious! I miss the vegan lovers though :/. Thankfully you can replace cheese for the vegan cheese on any pizza, but I loved the toppings before! It’s also pretty pricey…Vegetarian options: Very vegan-friendly!“

“Mama Says Italian restaurant, conveniently located in the Rolling Hills plaza next to Whole Foods, proved to be a delightful discovery. The review praises the excellent food made to order at a reasonable price. The mixed seafood pasta ordered to-go was perfectly seasoned, with noodles cooked to the ideal texture, not overdone. The addition of the carrot soup, with its enjoyable blend of seasoning and just the right amount of cream, complemented the meal nicely. Definitely, be back to try other pasta dishes.“

“This place is close to my heart and stomach! Our family has been enjoying Appetizer turkey sandwiches for many, many years. It was a tradition for my Mom and Dad to order them for USC football games. We are continuing the tradition to this day and have also discovered their amazing pizza! So dang good. It’s always a pleasure to see them and pick up our order. They’re always smiling and happy. Love this place! Highly recommended.“

“I came here on a Saturday afternoon around 2-3 pm. My server was Deborah, and she was very attentive and awesome. I hope to meet her as a server again. Additionally, this young gentleman with glasses (forgot to ask his name) that stood at the front desk came to check up on me while dining. He even apologized for mispronouncing my name wrong, which was totally fine! I will be back since I live nearby and is a HUGE fan of Olive Garden. Thank you for the great service :)“

“So so good meat balls and all pizzas real italian thin pizza with all kinda taste Service is good too We live next door so always pick up my husband loves their home made meatballs - he is Hollywood actor so can't eat carb so always proteins- i love their sysley pizza . Thanks“

“The food here is as good as in Rome or Florence Italy or anywhere in between, if not better. It is real, not Americanized at all. The service is prompt, polite and well organized. The Ambience is comfortable, clean and dignified without being "fancy". I have tried several things from the meny and the lamb chops are the best I've ever had in my 75 year life. I cannot do them as well at home myself. I'll be a patron for the rest of my life!“

“Food is so good! I was looking for a new Italian restaurant and saw positive reviews on Yelp about Pesto. I ordered take out on Thursday night that was so good that I had to bring my wife and a couple of friends there on Saturday to experience the food. The ambiance is nothing to write home about but the food flavor, quality and service make up for it. We will be back and will add Pesto to the list of places we regularly eat.“

“We went there for my girlfriend‘s birthday and I have to say it was pretty spectacular. We had a drink at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and accommodating. The hostess came and sat us down when we were ready to be seated. Our waiter was well informed and told us about all of the specials. We didn’t want for anything. Everything was delivered to our table on time we weren’t rushed. Everything was delicious and well prepared. The food is very very good. Amazing actually. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody.“

“Their pizza is really good, all the ingredients are super fresh. They go kind of light on the sauce so I order it with extra sauce. Whenever I indulge and eat pizza, I make sure that I eat salad to balance things out. Their salad is the bomb! Romaine lettuce with red cabbage, mushrooms, red onions, pepperoncinni, mozzarella -- all super fresh -- perfect! And the guys that work there are really nice and really efficient.“

“Rather than authentic Italian food, you should think of it as the Italian style that Americans like.Personally, I think the pasta is more recommended than the pizza. The pizza is delicious, but it's not pot-fired, so it's not what you'd expect from an authentic Italian pizza! lol Customer service is great. The inside of the restaurant is small, so I think it's better to take out than dine in.“

“Let me just the white truffle garlic bread is a amazing! Whoever came up with that recipe needs a raise! Let's jump into it. The spicy meatball pizza was delicious. My boyfriend doesn't care for anything meatball but he said it was really good. As for me I love anything meatball and to throw some spice in it, I love it! We are pesto lovers! The chicken pesto wasn't amazing so we were a little disappointed, not bad though.Let's touch on the star of the show the white truffle garlic bread, run don't walk! You will not be disappointed. The favor was astounding.The Pomegranate mule was nice, a light refreshing drink. Stay tuned for more. We plan on heading back to try more items!“

“Great service and delicious food as always. I had the cheese manicotti tonight. It was out of this world delicious and I will be back again love this place and love the service and the bread. I will continue coming back and I definitely recommend this restaurant.“
