We absolutely loved their fried mozzarella. I could eat it all day. We ordered chicken parmigiana great

Amazing how restaurant could keep up with estimating 1000+ seatings. Enjoyed our Easter celebration. Some items ran out, but were quickly replebushed. Little over crowded but 4/5 for food selection and atmosphere. Our server John was get great 5 Stars read more

Wanted to take my lovely Bride/Mom out for early Mother's Day Brunch to one of our favorite locations. Boccacio's is right on Lake Westlake and offers such a beautiful atmosphere for any meal or occasion. Started out with Cuppacino's and enjoyed the peaceful lake views before our food was served. A great brunch menu is offered from 9:00am to 2:00pm with plenty of delizioso choices. Our dishes came out hot and plenty by our server John, very friendly and ready to offer any assistance you need to make your meal perfecto. We have dined here many times but I truly enjoy Brunch here the most, they do offer inside dining and during the colder seasons here in So Cal they put up enclosed patio dining with heaters, but we do enjoy dining anytime of day al fresco. Great full bar options as well as wine is offered but may I suggest dining al fresco on the patio to enjoy the beautiful views of the lake, it really makes the dining experience memorable. You won't be disappointed by Boccacio's and the views so give it a try. Bravissimo Boccacio's! Bon appetitto read more

Been to Boccaccio's several times. Love the view and food selection. Don't know why it always pisses me off when I get the handheld credit card machine the waiter always selects the 25% tip selection right when he gives me the machine and stands right there so he can see me hit approve and sign. Yes, I can choose the 20% but still, he should not be hitting the 25%. Service was good but not great. I rather give the 25%+ to the chef cause the food was delicious. I went there this past weekend and had the following: Steak and Fries - cooked perfectly - Medium Rare. juicy and tender Spaghetti Primavera - very tasty Cesar Salad with Chicken - Definitely my favorite, lots of tasty tender chicken. I need to make an effort to go more often, especially the summer for lunch to view the beautiful lake. read more

My wife attended a conference in Thousand Oaks. I went with her from Seattle to spend time with friends who live nearby. We all went to Boccaccio's our first evening there. Our three friends all were very familiar with the place. Boccaccio's has a good reputation. Unfortunately it was 96 degrees there the day we arrived and a major part of the attraction is sitting outside by Westlake. Our server was a distinguished gentleman who clearly knew his craft. Couldn't ask for better. We ordered veal, shrimp and scallops pastas and beet salads. Everything was well prepared however I was not particularly hungry due to the heat. We ended up with lots of leftovers. Normally I prefer low key, family ethnic restaurants over corporate ones. Still Boccaccio's was a good spot for us to bring our friends and thank them for hosting us. I don't live in the area but even if I did I probably wouldn't go back very often. It's just not my style. read more

Incredible food, service, and view. The wait staff was HUSTLING! Was very disappointed on my first Mother's Day that our table was essentially in the corner atop the service area, pile of linens aside me with bus boy trays one inch from my head and ear all dinner. Management, please don't get greedy shoving in extra tables and jeopardize guest experience - our res was booked 2+ weeks early and for a $300+ check we deserved a nice table. Sacrifice the one extra space next year please! Will give it another shot as the food was good and it was a holiday. Appreciate the staff all working so hard on a holiday. read more

Boccaccio's Restaurant - Linguini and clams - Italian Near Me - Westlake Village, California

What a great experience! We came out for Valentine's Day weekend and expected it to be very busy, but luckily it wasn't bad at all. My boyfriend made reservations, which definitely helped. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted nicely and seated right away. We decided to sit outside because they have a beautiful view of the lake, and the outdoor heaters made it perfect for dinner. The patio looks so pretty with lots of seating and chandeliers running through the middle, making it feel very nice and fancy. The service was amazing. Our waiter took great care of us, answered all our questions, and gave us the best food recommendations. For appetizers, we ordered the clams. They were okay--not my favorite, but not terrible either. They were marinated in a lemon sauce but were lacking a little flavor. For the main course, I couldn't decide between the lobster ravioli and the seafood soup. I asked our waiter what he recommended, and he said the lobster ravioli--and when I say it didn't disappoint, I MEAN THAT. It was one of the best raviolis I've had in a long time. So creamy and flavorful, I would come back just for that dish. My boyfriend ordered his usual ribeye steak with potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender. I do wish it came with mashed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes, but it was still good. At the end, we got the dessert menu, and how could I say no? We ordered the crème brûlée, and wow--it was one of the best I've ever had. I can't wait to come back again. Strongly recommend! read more

The ambiance was beautiful. Right by the water was so nice and the service was great! The food overall was really good. We got the chicken parm and clam linguini. The chicken parm had great flavor and the perfect amount of breading. As for sauce, it could maybe have used a bit more sauce. The clam linguini had delicious clams on top and I couldn't stop eating them. As for the noodles and sauce, the noodles didn't necessarily absorb the sauce well so they weren't the most flavorful. Overall, the service and ambiance were great and the food was still good. I recommend. read more

Weekend brunch goals are unlocked at Boccaccio's in Westlake Village! Nestled right on the lake, this spot brings the perfect mix of elegance and relaxation with stunning waterfront views and a brand new brunch menu you have to try. Their cocktail menu is vast and probably one of the better menus I've seen at a more elegant restaurant. They aren't just serving up those classic martinis and wines - they have a large selection of innovative and fun cocktails. For example I ordered their Matcha Margarita and I loved it! Matcha and tequila? Who knew it would be such a good mix. Definitely would order this again. They serve weekend brunch now with an exclusive brunch menu which was impressive. But don't worry, we came at 11am and they still provided a regular lunch menu of breakfast isn't your thing. I had their sausage eggs Benedict and it was a 10/10. I actually prefer sausage over ham, so I love the idea of getting this on a muffin. Their crispy potatoes were also heavenly. Service was attentive and friendly from start to finish. The kind of restaurant where they make everyone feel like a celebrity and a VIP. The drinks & food arriving to our table were well paced and honestly it was a perfect meal to kick off the weekend. Reservations are highly recommended, especially if you want to grab an early seat by the water. read more

Came her with my mom to celebrate her birthday. There is parking available both near the restaurant and further in the plaza since parking nearby tends to get full. We did make a lunch reservation just a day in advance and it was not super busy when we arrived so it's likely possible to come by without a reservation. This is located directly by the lake (bring a jacket!) and is a stunning place to eat and to take photos. Our service was quick though we had very long breaks in between seeing our server come and go. Clementine Spritz 4/5, this is their twist on an aperol spritz. My only dilemma here is I couldn't taste any major clementine-ness so it just felt like an average aperol spritz. Definitely heavy hand pour though Beef Carpaccio 4/5, this was soft and melted in our mouths. I will say we did not know this dish comes raw and had some food related issues later that may have been related to this so ,, just be aware ,,,, Grilled Lamp Chops 5/5, I got this and wow. The meat is soft and tender (I ordered medium) and the asparagus is soft and melts in your mouth. Potatoes are average. Portion wise this is on the slightly smaller side so please be aware Sesame Crusted Big Eye Ahí Tuna 5/5, my mom got this and thoroughly enjoyed. The portion sizing of this is large and we took about half home to eat as another meal Baked Alaska 3/5, okay this was our first time ever trying baked Alaska and we were not huge fans :( it's essentially Neapolitan ice cream on a pie crust (?) the good news is this was free for my mom's birthday and was just okay but I definitely would not order this Italian Cheesecake 4/5, this was made with Ricotta vs a traditional cheesecake. I was a fan of this and preferred this to the Baked Alaska but my mom who is normally a cheesecake fan didn't. I'd say cheesecake purists beware read more

Boccaccio's has been around for years, and it truly doesn't disappoint. I brought a group of friends here to celebrate a birthday, and it was the perfect spot for a special night out. We were seated on the patio with a gorgeous view of the sunset over the lake -- such a beautiful setting and great ambiance. The service was excellent from start to finish: attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced. Everything we ordered was delicious, but a few standouts: the Winter on the Lake cocktail was amazing (highly recommend), and the food was just as impressive. The crab cake was flavorful and perfectly done, the lobster bisque was rich and comforting, and the salmon piccata was excellent -- cooked perfectly with a great balance of flavors. If you're looking for a classic restaurant with great views, great service, and consistently great food, Boccaccio's is a must. read more

July 7, 2025 Had a wonderful lunch with my wife at Boccaccio's at the lake in Westlake Village. The hostess was welcoming and kind and she sat us at a lovely table overlooking the lake. What a beautiful day. Sam was our amazing server and all of the staff were attentive and very nice. Excellent team customer service. We started with drinks as I had an ice tea and my wife had a Mojito. The fresh bread an butter was delicious and nice and warm. We ordered the escargot and Ceasar Salad as appetizers. For our lunch entrees we both had the Dover sole plate which was absolutely fantastic. The veggies and fingerling potatoes complimented the sole and everything was perfect. Compliments to the chef and the entire staff. Highly recommended Previous review What a great dining spot. Boccaccio's is quite a popular dining establishment at the lake. We had reservations for 1 p.m. and John was our amazing server. The ambiance is awesome and with views of the lake and lots of happy people. We started with drinks from Mojito, Fig old fashioned, bloody Mary and yes the Cadillac Margarita. OK maybe a few rounds. We started with escargot and calamari which were both excellent. We had Dover Sole, shrimp linguini and the Cioppino. For dessert we had baked Alaska, cheesecake, ice cream and the Special Hagan Daz delight. Of course cappuccino and coffees as well. A great time and fantastic service. Highly recommended. read more

Came here instead of Mastros to celebrate my wife's birthday. Boy was that a mistake. We have been here before and the service was touch and go but this time it was horrendous. We got sat and waited for 20 minutes to get greeted by anyone. They took our order and brought our wine fairly quickly after that. All thee tables around us got their food, finished and paid while we were still waiting. After over an hour wait I asked the waiter where our food was he said he was going to check on it. 10 minutes later he comes back and says it getting made... we were like no it's ok it's been too long, and we asked for the check. By this time we had already finished our wine since we were just waiting for so long. Then they brought our food. Which they said if we didn't eat it they were going to throw it away. So we ate the food. Then we asked for the check which came out to be full price. No acknowledgment for their mistake. Maybe it was a one off but I won't be back. Too bad because we liked the view but everything else leaves lots to be desired. So if you want a cool view and mediocre food and poor service give this place a try, otherwise I would avoid . read more

I've been coming here for 14 years with my lady. We always have a great experience, love watching the sunset over looking the lake. The food is always delicious and fresh. Will keep coming back. read more

We went there for Mother's Day, we were very disappointed the food was very very heavy loaded with butter and cream. My son had bad stomach issues the whole next day. We used to go a lot I don't know what happened that day ! Thank God the waiter was nice! Never on occasions again, not worth it. read more

We always enjoy the food , view and the service. A beautiful Mothers Day . It never disappoints

The service was excellent, the food was 10! All 4 meals were excellent! We will definitely be going back as soon as we can! Thank you Boccaccios for making 2 birthdays the best! read more

Excellent Italian food! The service, food and ambience were perfect. Thank you Ricky for taking great care of us.

Stay for the views, drinks, and appetizers, leave for everything else! Boccaccio's is located in westlake village and is adjacent to the lake. It has spectacular views, notably at sunset when we went. We started off with some cocktails and appetizers, including the fried ravioli and burrata. Both the cocktails and appetizers were delicious! They had a lot of flavor and the drinks were well balanced and flavorful. The entrees were a bit lacking. Although the eggplant parm was okay, the chicken in the chicken Alfredo and chicken parm were both dry and hard to eat. The service was friendly but very, very slow. It took a long time to place our orders between the appetizers and entrees. Although they were very attentive when we needed something like water refills, we were still there for two hours. Overall, I do recommend this place for the atmosphere for the lake and a nice cocktail hour but would head elsewhere for the main entrees. read more

One of the best dinners I had in a long time! The atmosphere is incredible especially with the sunset and paired well with all the delicious dishes they serve! We ordered different items for a table of 6 and they were all SO good. Got the shrimp scampi and I was surprised that the shrimp was so big. Seems like the price had increased since a year ago so I'm not sure if the price is worth it. Lots of parking and it didn't take us long to find one despite it being a holiday weekend. Am only giving it a 4/5 because it took quite a bit for food to come by, service was a little slow but we came by for dinner the day before Father's Day so that might be the explanation. Will be coming back again! read more

Probably some of the best Italian cuisine I've had in this part of the country, the food at Boccaccio's is awesome. Big portions with super fresh ingredients and colorful presentation make every dish a delight to enjoy. To start off my meal, I enjoyed the rolls with butter. These had just the right amount of chewiness to them and a crust that was perfect. The crab cakes were perfectly crisp with delicious blue crab and a sweet chili aoili to add just the right amount of sweetness and spiciness to the dish. The bruschetta was super fresh is a delicious balsamic vinegar and incredibly juicy tomatoes. The burrata caprese is a fantastic starter. I could not believe how creamy the mozzarella was nor how incredibly juicy the heirloom tomatoes were. The basil matched perfectly with a delicious aged balsamic. For me, this might have been the most memorable dish I had all night. The linguini pasta supremo was huge with plenty of chicken, shrimp, and italian sausage. I felt that the garlic and olive oil was a bit light in flavor even with the chili flakes, but was so full from the rest of my meal that this was really just a bonus. Despite being full, the tiramisu was worth bringing in my dessert stomach for extra capacity. As expected, the marscapone was exceptionally fluffy and the entire dish was well balanced in flavor, without being too sweet. The fresh berries on the side matched well with all the elements, and the presentation was wonderful. Overall, worth a visit for some delicious Italian food. The ingredients are super fresh, flavors well balanced, and presentation is wonderful. read more

Boccaccio's is a staple for delicious dinner on Westlake lake with a view. It is upscale food with Italian leanings - reliably delicious, but not wildly innovative. If you get reservations for a patio seat at sunset, it really is quite exquisite. They won't let you reserve an outdoor table specifically, but I would recommend making reservations on the early end of dinner so you have more seating choices. It looked like you could also rent out a little boat that was docked just near the restaurant and have food served to you there- probably pricy because Westlake is bougie, but a very fun idea and a unique experience! The dress code was casual- elegant it seemed, and ambiance is romantic. Our family had several appetizers- arugula and Asian pear salad and roasted beet salad. They were good and a decent size, but not life- changing. We also had calamari, which was very tasty. My spouse and I shared the pan seared pork chops and it was perfect portion wise for us. It was pretty delicious. I loved the sauce on top and the pork chop was moist and flavorful. The rest of our party had linguine and clams, blackened shrimp pesto, Chilean sea bass, and I think chicken toscano. The kiddos had burgers and fries. One of the kids' burgers was burnt so we had to send it back, but they helped us out. Everything (sans burger) was well made and it came out in a timely fashion. It is a large restaurant with lots of tables, and quite a few larger parties so this was no mean feat. At the end of the evening, since it was my mom's birthday, they brought out baked Alaska as a complimentary dessert. It was a very nice touch, and really delicious. They pour some liqueur and set it aflame and serve tableside, so it is very dramatic and gets some oohs and ahhs. It is an almond cookie crust with chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and pistachio ice cream and a meringue on top. read more

We made a dinner reservation for 6 o'clock to be inside. We got there at six on time and they kept telling us that they had a big party there and we'd have to wait so we waited and waited until about 8 o'clock and ended up sitting outside.. we weren't the only people complaining there was a lot of people that they did this to. Didn't seem like you have a manager that you could talk to.. very disappointed. read more

The Mothers Day brunch was a nightmare. Food like it's a downtown Vegas Buffett. Hair in the food. I spoke to a manager and she did absolutely nothing. Did not even come back and check on us. This place use to be so nice. Need new management and a everything new. I suggest never go here Denny's is better. Management was an 18 yr old that had no clue about customer service. The server was nice. read more

My husband and I met friends here for a birthday get-together. It's hard not to be taken in by a restaurant on the lake, especially when seated outdoors. Cool sightings of locals stepping off boats to grab takeout for dockside meals. We ordered calamari, lobster bisque, cioppino with linguini and ample seafood, rib eye steak and NY Strip. The meals were tasty and served with warm sourdough bread, but our friend had to send his ribeye back twice before it was prepared properly. Our server greeted us warmly and was quick to assist in resolving the issues. Except for the steak being undercooked, we had a memorable, pleasant evening. read more

The patio seating is very nice, proceed with caution if you don't like birds as they fly through your table. While the waiter was nice, it was very difficult to speak with him as he would be assisting other tables for upwards of 45 min, which is how long our food took to get to the table. Within those 45 minutes we asked a different waiter for additional bread which never arrived. In addition once the food arrived it was the most bland food I have ever eaten at a restaurant. This place is definitely byos (bring your own seasoning). read more

Went here for a large family brunch and had gotten it to where they had an omelet station along with buffet style food. The patio gives off a beach atmosphere where it is very large and looks nice. Food was great especially the French toast was super tasty and cooked perfectly. The chicken piccata was a bit of a miss because it didn't look appetizing nor taste that great either. Great service all around also read more

We made a reservation in advance for our anniversary at Boccaccio's because we wanted to try a new Italian restaurant in the area. When arriving, the restaurant is situated in a little center by a Yacht Club on the Westlake Lake. This restaurant is definitely more of an "upscale" kind of restaurant, which we guessed based on the area it was in. There is plenty of parking in the lot, and the restaurant is only a short walk through the center of the businesses around it. There is a lot of seating, some with views of the lake. We checked in and we were seated within 5 minutes of arriving, and we arrived 20 minutes earlier than our reservation time. The host was very friendly, as well as all of the servers and restaurant staff. Our server greeted us and took our drink order and brought it out very quickly. We were ready to order and he took our order and let us know they would be by to bring some bread and butter out. A couple of minutes passed and the bread was brought out, as we conversated and put the butter on our rolls, our food came out! I would say it was less then 5 minutes from placing our order! We ordered the Chicken Parmigiana which consisted of: Breaded chicken, mozzarella cheese & marinara sauce served with spaghetti and meat sauce. The dish looked perfect and they offered us some freshly grated parmesan cheese to top the dish, we both obliged! We started with tasting the rolls with butter and my goodness, these rolls were DELICIOUS! We knew we were going to enjoy our meal! We then cut into the chicken, and it was breaded perfectly with a nice crisp and still juicy. The flavors of the sauce, mozzarella cheese and chicken were phenomenal. The side of spaghetti was tossed in a meat sauce, and the sauce had chunks of tomatoes which burst in your mouth with flavor! The spaghetti was cooked al dente and was a perfect accompaniment to the chicken which was the star of the show. For dessert we ordered the Baked Alaska which is: Almond cookie crust with chocolate, vanilla, strawberry & pistachio ice cream topped with flaming meringue and the Crème Brûlée Served warm with fresh berries and homemade biscotti. The Baked Alaska was something like we've never had before! They set the meringue on fire and it melts down the ice cream. The flavors were so delicious of the ice creams as well as the almond cookie crust. The Crème Brûlée had the PERFECT caramelization on top and once you broke through it led you to a custard. The only thing I would say that it could have had more of a creamy vanilla bean flavor for me, but other than that it was perfect. The service was excellent there, everyone was so professional. You were surrounded by so many people enjoying their company and most importantly, eating great food! We loved that we never had to ask for a refill, our server was very attentive! We would definitely come back and try something new! read more

I can't even give one star because the experience I had last night was one of the worst. ( I had to put one star to post but just know you guys don't even deserve that!!!!)The way the waiters were harassing my daughter and making her feel like garbage will not be tolerated. Tricking her into eating meat because they know she is vegetarian. ( apparently they worked together at another local restaurant) If any of the owners see this review feel free to contact me privately. We were once great customers at Boccaccio's and the Landing but my entire family will not be returning!!!!! I have lived in this community my entire life and know many people.

Solid Italian restaurant in the Westlake Village area. Boccaccio's is located in the The Landing plaza in Westlake Village. My fiance and I went for an early Valentine's Day dinner. The sun was already down, but I imagine that the view of the lake would have been spectacular if we went during the day. For starters, we shared the Beef Carpaccio. For entrees, we ordered the Veal Oscar and the Striped Lobster Ravioli. The Carpaccio was surprisingly good, and it disappeared within 5 minutes of receiving it. We both enjoyed the Veal Oscar, but the Lobster Ravioli definitely stole the show. The cream sauce was delicious, and it paired well with the side of mashed potatoes that my fiance ordered. For dessert, we ordered the Baked Alaska, which rounded everything out. Overall, this was a good restaurant and experience, albeit a little pricey. I recommend going during the day, so you can experience the full view. read more

I went to Boccaccios's for my wife's birthday. There were 6 people in our party. 4 of us didn't like our food and 2 did. The Seafood Risotto I ordered had undercooked scallops and the Risotto rice was way undercooked, actually hard. My wife and sister in law's chicken Parmigiano was way too salty, my son's dish was just okay. Mother in law's food (spaghetti and meat balls) was enjoyed by her and my brother in law enjoyed his pork chops. I will say, the service was friendly and attentive. I don't think that the experience was pleasurable for us all. read more

We took my mom here for her retirement dinner. We sat outside to watch the sunset and it was beautiful. We were worried about it being cold but they are prepared for those situations and had heating Lamps near the tables. The food was good! The scampi boccachio was good, the shrimp pieces were huge! It was a nice portion. 4/5 I ordered the linguini with clams in white sauce and Omgsh it was so filling and yummy! They are very generous with the clams!!! Absolutely loved it! The sauce wasn't overwhelming which was nice. 4/5 We also ordered the branzino which was one of their specials. My husband enjoyed it but he gives it a 3/5. The soup de jour / clam chowder was alright but I appreciate the generous amount of clams. We also ordered the blackberry sage margarita and the spiced sangria. I'm not really a fan of holiday drinks or "spiced" anything but it wasn't bad, although I would prefer a regular house sangria with no additional spices. The baked Alaska was a nice touch to celebrate my mom's retirement dinner. It was a lovely evening. We had a great server named Juan who made us feel welcomed as it was our first time here. Thanks Juan for the great vibes! read more
