She also recommended the Eggplant Parmigiana and the sole, and both dishes were delicious. A couple at the adjacent table ordered a pizza that had to be the greenest pizza we had ever seen! The restaurant itself was nicely decorated, with Italian music playing softly in the background. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience. We will be back!

Ca' Del Sole is one of Southern California's best-kept secrets and, without question, one of my…read morefavorite restaurants. Tucked away in an unexpected corner of North Hollywood, you walk through the entrance and suddenly feel as though you've been transported to a breathtaking Italian garden. The ambiance is absolutely magical and easily ranks among my top 10 dining experiences in Southern California. I've been coming here for well over a decade, and it has never lost its charm. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic date night, meeting friends for brunch, or simply treating yourself to an unforgettable meal, Ca' Del Sole delivers every single time. The food is exceptional. Every dish is beautifully prepared with the quality, elegance, and attention to detail you'd expect from an upscale restaurant in France or Italy--but at prices that are surprisingly reasonable. It's rare to find a restaurant that feels this luxurious without the luxury price tag. Their brunch is outstanding, dinner is absolutely spectacular, and every meal feels like an occasion. The service is equally impressive. It's not unusual to spot an A-list celebrity dining here, but what I love most is that everyone is treated like a VIP. The hospitality is warm, genuine, and consistently exceptional. The staff has a way of making every guest feel welcome, appreciated, and completely taken care of. I especially love the beautiful cabanas and garden patio. It's one of those places where you find yourself lingering because you simply don't want the experience to end. Honestly, part of me wants to keep Ca' Del Sole a secret so I can always get a table--but restaurants this special deserve to be celebrated. If you're looking for incredible food, world-class service, unforgettable ambiance, and one of the most romantic dining experiences in Los Angeles, this is the place. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back, and if I could, I'd happily celebrate every special occasion here.

Overall really happy with my experience here! The table…read morebread & pesto was honestly very tasty and the bread seemed fresh! I'm taking a star off because the cocktail 2 of u ordered was TERRIBLE and the booths REALLY need to be replaced. They date the place more than the fixtures already do. That being said, the front desk staff are so friendly (even before we accidentally left our credit card and had to come back the next day lol) and we were pleasantly surprised by the food! Two of us split the short rib ravioli and it was SO lovely. The meat was so moist and flavorful within the tender ravioli sheets. The sauce was light but rich enough to round out the dish nicely. I honestly wish we hadn't split the fish because it was so good I could have finished the whole thing by myself lol. My other friend ordered the calamari as her meal and was also very pleased! The place definitely needs updates on the interior as it certainly looks run down and not the kind of place you have to pay for valet, but overall the food was reasonably priced and very tasty!

But every time it gets better -- and the trajectory had me imagining that this place might be special. And tonight it happened. It transcended from excellent to life changing. I just had two of the best plates of pasta I have ever eaten. I thought it might happen, which is why I kept going back. Wow. The Oxtail Cavatelli is something other worldly. It is literally perfect. Sublime. I will dream of this dish for the rest of my life. I can confidently say that the Pappardelle Bolognese is the best in the city. Pre-dinner bread bears a mention too: it's warmed (baked?) to order and is a little cause for celebrration. The restaurant itself looks like Jack's Bistro from Three's Company. IYKYK.

For parking, there is metered street parking and there are couple of public parking locations available.

You can actually watch everything being prepared right in front of you, and there's something about seeing the pasta and dishes come together fresh that makes the whole experience feel that much more authentic. The ragu is the star for me. The first time I ordered it, I'll admit I underestimated it because visually it looks so simple and isn't swimming in sauce. Then you take a bite and realize how much flavor is packed into such an unassuming dish. It's rich, savory, perfectly balanced, and one of those dishes I find myself craving afterward. I'm also a huge fan of their salad, and I've done the tasting menu twice now. Both times were excellent and gave me a chance to try things I probably wouldn't have ordered on my own. And definitely save room for the tiramisu...it's delicious! The space itself is intimate, with a limited number of traditional tables and more seating around the bar/open kitchen area. Personally, I think sitting near the kitchen adds to the experience because you get to watch all the action. The service is another reason I keep coming back. Everyone has consistently been attentive, warm, and friendly, and Thomas, the manager, deserves a special mention. He is always welcoming and helps create the kind of hospitality that turns a great restaurant into a place you genuinely want to return to. One thing to keep in mind: gratuity is already included, so check your bill before adding an additional tip. Also worth noting, there's no full cocktail program here,just wine and beer, which honestly fits the simple, authentic Italian vibe perfectly. Fresh ingredients, great service, an intimate atmosphere, and food that consistently delivers. There's a reason this place has become one of our regular spots. And seriously... get the ragu.

My criteria was location, highly rated food, private dining room (since it difficult for dad to hear well), able to accommodate 17 people, not crazy expensive, and they needed to have fairly soft food (not a steak house). Sounds easy, right? Well, Prosecco popped up as an option and I started calling. Eric, their long time GM, handled call after call from me. He graciously, and humorously, answered calls about their menu, bringing our own cake, parking, seating count changes (ended up with 13), getting in early, room size, etc. We felt so welcomed. Emily served us and was amazing all evening. She handled special order requests, made suggestions, took photos, and kept a great sense of humor. Lots of appetizers like watermelon caprese salad, garlic bread, bruschetta, meatballs. Main courses from salmon, to mushroom rigatoni, ravioli, cioppino and misto mare (shellfish over linguini). Just delicious. We were allowed to bring in our own sheet cake with a nominal cutting charge. Lots of prosecco, Chianti and Pinot Grigio left us well lubricated. Simply amazing evening, and my dad had the best time of all.

The Manila clam pasta was good too. Then, to make our first visit extra special, they were so welcoming and gifted us a panna cotta. We really appreciated the hospitality and the sweet gesture.

We live in Las Vegas, and like to try places we can't get back home. Parking can be a little tricky, but we parked one street over and just walked around the corner; no big deal! Bottom line next time we come back to Burbank we're definitely eating at Reno's again.

I was reading this page and saw mixed reviews, so I decided to try it with my son and make my own determination. They have no parking but thankfully we found a spot on the side street. The restaurant is located on the ground level of an apartment building. They also have outdoor seating, but we sat inside. One restroom each for men/women (and super clean). We walked in and got a pleasant greeting from Mia. She was HANDS DOWN the best part of this experience and provided stellar customer service. She is so young and has a bright future ahead of her. Mia treated us with genuine kindness and was a pleasure to talk to during our dinner. She made sure we were well taken care of and our orders were to our exact specifications. This restaurant is very lucky to have someone as good as her working there. For our appetizers, we got the Cesar Salad ($17), Parmesan on the side, and Bruschetta ($17). I also asked Mia if they bring complimentary bread to the table and she said they do, upon request. She asked if we wanted olive oil or butter and I chose butter. My son and I both enjoyed the Bruschetta and thought it tasted very good. The bread was nicely toasted and the tomatoes were seasoned well. It was also a good portion, easily shareable between 2-3 people. The salad wasn't our favorite and we've definitely had better at other restaurants. The lettuce didn't taste too fresh and the dressing wasn't really that good. The portion size was good, though. For my entrée, I got the Spicy Rigatoni ($22) but I asked for it to be light on the spice and added shrimp (+$12). It tasted fine, nothing really to write home about. I had to ask Mia to microwave it for a minute because it wasn't hot. My son ordered the Chicken Parmigiana ($23) but asked for the chicken to be grilled instead of breaded. He said he enjoyed his dish and the tomato sauce had a good amount of garlic in it. For dessert, Mia was kind enough to bring out a complimentary Key Lime Cheesecake since she found out my son is celebrating his birthday in a few days. She was seriously impeccable. Honestly, the place is just really drab and boring. There isn't much decor and it feels like a slightly elevated diner that serves beer and wine. It was a Friday night and there was no one in there/no pickup orders. We were there from about 7:30pm-10pm when they closed and only 3 other parties came in. There is no music playing, which makes the atmosphere even more drab and lifeless. Its also super cold in there and I asked Mia to adjust the AC and even after she did, it was still cold. It's not an upbeat type of place at all but the food is decent and Mia's service is the best part. She herself is 10/5 stars, but for my overall experience, I'll stick with 4 stars this time.

She explained that they were short-staffed and had two brand new servers last Sunday and that she was frantically trying to take care of the cooking and the serving as well as greeting newcomers. That explanation makes sense and had we known that, we might have chosen to forego the reservation that day or not been upset. I appreciate her taking the time to get back to us and being so candid and self-effacing. It seems it was a confluence of unfortunate factors that led to us having a sub-par experience at a respected restaurant.
