The gem spicy calabrian salad was UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I am not sure if I've ever favored a salad more than a pasta & pizza at a restaurant but wow it was absolute perfection. Also tried the LA Woman pizza (good but I would add mozzarella because there isn't a lot of cheese), and spicy fusilli pasta (great flavor too! just tad undercooked). Overall great meal! Vibe is cute, staff were cool. Get that salad read more

Took one star away from them for the amount of time it takes for everything to happen in there. We arrived at 7:08 for or 7:15 reservation (2adutls 2 kids). We got seated at 7:35. The ambiance is great, and the setup of the dinning, bar and patio areas is amazing. This is the place you want to be casually and chill. The servers are really nice and friendly and sympathetic to the time it takes for food to get out. The food was amazing, everything was fresh and hand made, this is a 5 star place only if they would get the time it takes for food to come out little faster. Ordered the spicy fussilli, chicken parmesan, kids pomadora and pancakes (the young wanted wanted pancake for dinner). The food come out as they are ready and they are sharable medium portions. But it takes them such a long time to get out, even our drinks came out so late. We thought they forgot about the drinks. If you have time on your hands and don't mind waiting then definitely go and try them, you will not regret how great the food is. If they had not forgotten about the spicy fussilli dish (the manager accidentally took it off the order) I would have given this place all the stars. read more

Had a great breakfast today with the family. Very modern sleek interior. Soon as you enter you're greeted to a huge bar. The wood maple features throughout, including wood booth seats really compliments space well. Very family friendly restaurant, there's cups of crayon provided for you to doodle on the paper place mats while you wait for your order. We enjoyed their signature banana bread with our coffee, so moist and scrumptious. We were also pleased with ricotta bruschetta with honey and sesame. The ricotta was creamy, lightly sweet and paired so well with the toasted bread. Breakfast pizza was good, but a bit oily for me. Soft scrambled eggs were amazing, so perfectly fluffy and creamy. Best scramble eggs I've had by far. I could eat this everyday. Buttermilk pancakes were outstanding. They give you healthy amount of pancakes, which was easily shareable. It was light and fluffy served with fresh berries. I thought bacon was okay, could have been executed better. Too burnt for my taste buds. Solid overall experience. Service was great and the food was priced reasonably. Eager to return soon, especially soft scrambled eggs. read more

I came here on a recommendation for a relatives birthday and left disappointed. I did a takeout order but this place is across the street from sagebrush but is pretty modern inside. Takeout was outside with a window down the alley. Service was... interesting. When I called to placed the order they seemed a little stressed (the place was busy so it makes sense). But she didn't seem to know there was a bucatini dish, I am not even sure she knew what bucatini aglio olio was since they said they didn't have it but it's a pretty basic dish that was on their menu online. Food was okay I guess. For the prices you are paying you get some really small portions for what you get. The food didn't hit the mark with average ingredients, felt like a kids pasta dish honestly. With so many Italian options in the area, you have to do better, especially at this price point. Overall, I don't think I will be back. Small portions, big prices, less than par ingredients. read more

Jon & Vinny's - Mushroom pizza wood grilled asparagus - Italian Near Me - Calabasas, California

Overall a 10/10 for the consistency across all their locations. This location being brand new really matched up to the quality, service, ambiance as every other Jon & Vinny's in the city. It's great a staple restaurant group expanded to the west side of the valley. Food wise, I can highly recommend their spicy fusilli pasta, chicken parmesan, garlic bread, and meatballs for the table. Everything came out fantastic. For dessert, I'd definitely do the bread pudding. Parking: You will have no other option, but to valet. This area does not have any metered or lots to self-park in. read more

So happy with my first time here at Jon & Vinny's in Calabasas! Haley was such a kind, attentive & awesome waitress. She was so friendly & charismatic & gave us all her recommendations. The food was incredible! The gem lettuce salad was awesome, the dressing was actually pretty spicy too! The pastas were cooked to perfection & super yummy. I'm not a big pizza lover but the pizza was insanely good, it was so crispy & I really enjoyed the thin crust! The ranch dressing was perfect to accompany the pizza, however it was $2.50 extra just keep that in mind. We shared a soft serve at the end of our meal & it was perfect to end off the night. I honestly would come back in a heart beat, it has a really cool vibe! They also give you crayons to color your placemats while you wait for your food which is a nice touch! So happy to have a Jon & Vinny's valley location now! read more

We had a 1 p.m. lunch reservation and were running late. At 1:20 p.m., the restaurant called to tell us that we were late and that our reservation would be given away if we did not arrive right away. It took a bit of time to find parking. There was no street parking available, so we paid $9 to park in the adjacent lot. The restaurant is located in downtown Calabasas, one of my favorite places to visit. It is an area with interesting 100-year-old buildings, as well as buildings designed to look 100 years old. There was a farmers market nearby, and parking was limited. The restaurant was packed. Many guests had ordered pizza, and pizza boxes were used as decorations on the bookshelves, it must be a popular menu item in this restaurant. Our experience with the staff was less welcoming. When we walked in, the greeter, who had crayons and drawing sheets on her desk, asked, "How can I help you?" I said we had a reservation. She quickly confirmed it but then spent the next few minutes rearranging her desk before seating us. We were a little jealous of her desk and hoped that next time she would pay as much attention to her guests. Our waitress came over and didn't introduce herself. When she realized the third person is not coming, she sounded annoyed. Only tables with kids had crayons; however, somehow we had crayons as well, which the waitress did not seem to notice. Later, when we ordered only a couple of items, she again seemed disappointed. I asked whether they made their own mozzarella, and she said they bought it from a place in Los Angeles without providing any additional details. The bathroom was in a separate building in the backyard of the restaurant. As I was walking toward it, a large group of staff members were engaged in a planning conversation right in the middle of the main hallway. They did not pay attention to me or attempt to direct me to the bathroom. The bathroom was clean and had soap with pieces of salt in it that smelled very nice. My wife also liked the soap, but the women's bathroom had no paper towels. As I walked back, the greeter looked at me as though she had never seen me before but said nothing. By the time our food was served, the restaurant had emptied quite a bit, and there did not seem to have been any reason to rush us over our late arrival. We ordered the baked asparagus with Parmesan, which was delicious, and the tuna conserva with lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella, and avocado. I thought the tuna was slightly better than what you get from a can, but my wife felt it was regular canned tuna dressed with olive oil and lemon. Another waitress brought the tuna and was noticeably more professional. I asked her for two cappuccinos and the bill. She thanked us without any of the attitude we had experienced earlier. While waiting for our cappuccinos, we noticed that the adjacent bench had been soiled by two small children eating pizza while watching the kitchen staff work behind them. A staff member used an already soiled cloth to brush away the pizza crumbs but did not clean the visible oil stains. New guests were then seated directly on the stained bench. No one thanked us for coming when we got up to leave. I found myself remembering an unpretentiously delicious pizza at Domino's, where a meal costs one-tenth of the price and everyone is truly welcome. read more

This particular location is great - indoor and plenty of outdoor seating in the back. Clean and modern aesthetics. Customers service was great - shout out to Kenneth our server and the sommelier was also super nice. Food wise - we ordered a variety of dishes and if you've been to the other locations, it's about the same. Good thin crust pizza, meatballs, pasta bolognese, lettuce gem salad, and the chicken wings were all great. I had the infanta cocktail as well - but a bit watered down though. Valet parking only for $7.00 Nice addition to the neighborhood. Will go again. read more

We loved it so much we made another reservation while there! Make sure to get a reservation far in advance as they are all gone for weeks. Kenneth our waiter was great. He let us know that the food comes out as it's ready. It also comes out pretty fast so make sure you have all your drink options squared away. Some have said the pasta portions were small, they are on the small side but the spicy fusilli was packed with flavor. All the dishes were not scared of a little spice and the right amount of salt. Sometimes I find Italian places make dishes so bland, not here. The Bronx bomber pizza was outstanding. I like the burnt spots but was on the borderline of a little too much. Meatballs were solid, really enjoyed the sauce but a little pricey for just two meatballs. The music was great and you could actually hear it, at least inside. Looking forward to coming back in a few weeks to try some more dishes. read more

While it took us forever to get reservations here, I'm so glad that we finally did! We had great food, wonderful service, and enjoyed the fabulous music playing all night. Kenneth was our server and he was friendly and fun. The food will come out as it's ready, which seems to be pretty fast. We enjoyed -Marinara-Braised Meatballs ($24.95). Moist and flavorful; great portion size, as we took half of it--along with the garlic bread--home. -Spicy Fusili ($23.95) Tasty, with a nice little kick of heat! -Bronx Bomber pizza ($24.95) good flavor and crisp in the crust We shared a delicious bottle of montepulciano that wasn't on the menu (thanks to the somm!), a well as a Negroni ($19) and the Perfect Vodka Martini ($20). We enjoyed ourselves so much that we made a future reservation while we were still sitting there. Assume you will valet, as there is super limited parking in the area. read more

Fantastic date night experience - service was top notch from reservation check in all the way through paying the check! Parking was a breeze across the street for $8. Our reservation was 6 pm on a Friday and we were immediately seated inside. The somm came over shortly after to introduce himself and provide drink reccs. My husband had the espresso martini and loved it. I had the recommended wine La Ferme Rouge Le Gris, which was fantastic. For dinner we ordered cornmeal fried onions, gem lettuce salad, meatballs and bolognese. Each dish was incredible but the bolognese was out of this world! Our server Ashley was friendly and attentive and checked on us throughout the meal. The atmosphere was warm and fun and I loved the playful mats and crayons at each table! Can't wait to go back! read more

The food was all so delicious! We did family style and ordered a bunch and I am so happy that we did so we got to try so many different things! My personal favorites were the mozzarella sticks, local burrata, the h and easy pizza, fried spring onion and the corn agnoloitti. All of the food tasted so fresh and came out so quickly. Santos noticed anytime we were done with a plate and kept our table free of clutter which I really appreciated since we ordered so much food we really needed the space! The star of the show was the matcha affogato I was so excited to try it and wow was it delicious!! The fried spring onion was so fun it was kinda like an onion ring but better! read more

Meeting friends for lunch at noon on a Friday. Unfortunately, too warm out to eat on the patio. We were seated indoors in the back near the open kitchen. On the plus side, our server, Gustavo, was friendly and helpful. That's it for the positives. The negatives: Parking is non-existent. The only option is the valet ($7). The booth we were seated in (and all of the booths as far as I can tell) are bench seats that become fairly uncomfortable after a while. The noise level in our area of the restaurant made conversation a challenge. I shared a mushroom pizza ($23). A 12 inch thin crust pizza that was OK at best. Two of my friends got salads which were huge and they felt were excellent ($23). No free parking, unpleasant ambiance, and meh food at high prices for the area. There is little all eight of us agree on. With so many good restaurant options in the area, we all agreed that none of us are coming back. read more

First time going to Jon & Vinny's, my daughter raves about it all the time when going to the studio city location. Greeted immediately and we went during slower hours which I recommend. One has to consider peak times with difficulty getting reservations. Sat on porch which was nice, my daughter first time at this location which she loved. The back area is huge which is wonderful. Staff is super friendly and k formative, menu is simple and quick to the point. I ordered Blt breakfast sandwich and my daughter got the Nutella pancakes along with a vanilla matcha . Pricing is medium which is worth it, delicious and tasty. Andrea was our server and she was great, funny, and attentive. Only thing, They were out of ketchup, but no biggie the Blt was amazing without it. Parking on street and local shops around. Old town Calabasas area which is a plus and great stores all around. Be back real soon with the rest of the family, good luck on new spot and cheers!!! read more

Likes: - Casual dining atmosphere with good vibe (friendly works, good music). I was hearing rap tracks from the late 90's, early 20's that I had not heard in a LONG time that really brought me back to some better times. - multiple servers checked up on us to make sure our dining experience was pleasant - great food (we had the little gems pizza, peach salad, Corn Agnolotti, and Affogato). The oil in the salad was such a standout. I could drink cups of this stuff. - nice patio setup (once the weather cools down) - nice bathrooms with FULL doors and great exfoliating soap - extensive menu offers something for everyone - a kids menu that offers pancakes all day! Dislike: - parking isn't easy. We paid $8 in the lot near by. Maybe there's a better method. - you'll probably need a reservation. We got lucky with a walkin by eating at the bar read more

Not so good, my daughters birthday, waited for more than an hour to get food, had made reservations two weeks before and they sat us right next to the very noisy kitchen, we were 5 people and asked to be moved but they said there was no other table..food wasn't very good, ravioli was like a soup with lots of olive oil, nothing special about this restaurant, they need to get more efficient in the kitchen, the waitress kept apologizing..We will not be attending again.. read more

Me and my partner absolutely love Jon & Vinny's! You can imagine our excitement when we found out they opened up a location in the valley. We usually go to the Brentwood or Fairfax locations. This location felt so inviting and spacious compared to the others. Our waitress was so attentive and made sure our food came out quickly & was super fresh. We ordered spicy fusilli (classic), radiatori pesto, garlic bread with parmesan, and our favorite pizza: little nats! Everything was so flavorful. Pro tip: if you order the little nats pizza, ask for a side of honey and drizzle it on top of the pizza. It compliments the flavors SO well. Can't wait to come here more in the future! read more

Extremely Disappointing Experience at Jon & Vinny's Calabasas We arrived around 10:30 a.m. and left at 11:45 utterly disappointed and frustrated. Despite many open tables, we were asked if we had a reservation and then waited about 15 minutes to be seated. We ordered a BLT and a Carbonara, and it took approximately 35 minutes for the food to arrive. Unfortunately, the BLT wasn't even warm, and my carbonara was extremely salty and cold. I politely sent it back. What surprised me most was being told that they had already received several comments about the pasta being too salty. I asked for anything they could replace it with quickly because, by then, I was simply hungry and tired of waiting. Another 15 minutes passed, and still no replacement meal. At that point, I got up and left while my partner stayed behind to pay and get the replacement pasta to go. When I finally opened the takeout box at home, I was even more disappointed. The portion was incredibly small for something priced around $23-$25, it didn't look appetizing, and there wasn't even any utensils included. I'm trying to be fair because this may be a new restaurant with a new team still working things out. But being new can explain a few growing pains--it shouldn't excuse slow service, cold food, overly salty food, long waits, and poor value for the price. If you're going to make customers wait this long, the expectation is that the food and service will make the wait worthwhile. Unfortunately, we received neither good service nor good food. For the price and the expectations surrounding this restaurant, this experience was supremely disappointing. read more

Our visit to Jon & Vinny's was great! We started with a bottle of Wine and my husband had an espresso martini that was YUMMY! We started with the Garlic bread which was a little spicy but we LOVED it. Best garlic bread we've had. Then the House salad. I love the pepperoncini's in it! I had the Cacio e Pepe and my husband had the Chicken Parmesan (it was HUGE). Everything was high quality and flavorful. To end our dinner we both ordered one more espresso martini with a tiramisu for dessert! Delish! Couldn't leave without getting an order of the Italian rainbow cookies! Overall was a great night out and very eager to come back and try more items on the menu. read more

I think the food at Jon & Vinny's is excellent. However, over the past couple years, I've boycotted the restaurant because of their 18% service charge, on top of a tip.

We couldn't wait since it was so hard to get a reservation, so we went there on Saturday and there was six of us in the party. They put us on a cancellation list? Meanwhile they had tables open in the back, they finally sat us in the back in a small table for 4, and 10 feet away they had a table for 6 or 8 so we asked for that table since nobody was there, and they kept telling us it was reserved, by the way we were out there till closing and nobody ever sat at that table. Honestly the food was great, we love the schnitzel, the pasta the pizza. But the service was terrible, the food came out one dish at a time for about 10 minutes. They bought my buddy the wrong drink he ordered 1942 but it wasn't, the waitress apologized and said she grabbed the wrong drink. The ambiance was fine, and I thought it was maybe cause it was new they were having these issues. But I think they've been opened already for a few weeks and it seems to be a common theme when we tell people we went there they said the exact same thing foods. Excellent service is bad.. read more

I ate breakfast here. I went in specifically to order the pancakes. I've been eyeing them online for a long time, after seeing the BLT breakfast sandwich, I went with that instead. I'm gonna say that was one of the BEST breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. It was hearty and delicious. The gentleman who brought it to me, brought me extra napkins and after just one bite, I could see what they were for. It is messy but in a wonderful way. I almost wish I didn't eat it because now I can't stop thinking about it. I also ordered the iced mocha. I'm not trying to be dramatic here but It was an EPIC iced mocha. I will definitely be back. Thanks J&V Calabasas. read more

was charged twice for things instead of 233.? including 20% tip I woke today to a bill of 256.57 pm so they almost corrected billing mistake and got me for 23 more dollars. Hope that 23 dollars keeps them in business . basically overpriced food which one would expect in Calabasas. with the cost should come service and attention to details. Nothing polite to write so Ill leave it there. read more

I tried making an 11:30 a.m. reservation online, and when that showed unavailable, I tried 11:45 with the same result. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or if those times were actually booked, so we decided to walk in. The first thing we noticed was a strong smell of eggs throughout the restaurant. We decided to overlook it, but then the host told us they couldn't seat us because the available table was reserved for a reservation arriving an hour later. Meanwhile, the restaurant was nearly empty, with around 20 open tables. As someone who worked as a host for years at a much busier restaurant, I understand how reservations work. Good hosting is about balancing reservations and walk-ins, not leaving tables empty for an hour while turning away paying customers. We ended up leaving without eating. Really disappointing first impression. read more

The food was incredible, everything had so much flavor. The place is nice and the service was great. I get that everybody wants to be a huge food critic and critique every little thing to give this place a 2 star or a three star. That just isn't it here.

Had an amazing experience at Jon & Vinny's in Calabasas! From the moment I walked in, the service, atmosphere, music, and overall vibe were all on point. You can tell the team is very well-trained and genuinely cares about creating a great experience for their guests. The food was phenomenal. I had the roasted beet Greek salad, bruschetta, broccolini pasta, and finished with the banana bread for dessert. Everything was delicious from start to finish. A special shout-out to Michael, the manager. He was extremely kind, welcoming, and hospitable, and we had a great conversation. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in the restaurant and his team, and it definitely shows in how well the restaurant is run. Highly recommend Jon & Vinny's Calabasas. Great food, great atmosphere, great music, and an awesome team. Thank you to Michael and the entire staff for such a great experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great atmosphere, great cocktails, great salads, and great pastas. Unfortunately, the biggest issue for us was the pizza. The pizza was completely overcooked and burnt. We were told that this is how they are normally served, but that we could request them not to be overcooked. Honestly, I find it a bit unusual to have to specifically request that a pizza not be overcooked or burnt. We had a similar experience with the garlic bread we ordered at the beginning of the meal--it was mostly black on both sides and tasted more like charcoal than garlic bread. Hopefully, the chef will reconsider the cooking approach, because there's a lot to like about this restaurant. If we do choose to revisit, we'll most likely stick with the pastas! read more

I've ordered takeout from here before and the food is always good however I haven't had a worse restaurant experience that I've had tonight. We had a party of four and were told it would be around a 15 minute wait with one party of four ahead of us. However, we watched three parties go ahead of us while we already waited 30 minutes. We asked the host with the highlights how much longer the wait would be and she rudely explained how there were two more parties ahead of us and said she'd lets us know when a table was available. We finally got sat after 40 minutes and got our appetizer 15 minutes later without any drinks. Our plates were taken away with the food still on them and nobody asked if they could take it. After our food arrived, the chicken cutlets came a few minutes later completely raw. We sent it back and barely got an apology or any compensation other than taking it off the bill. We didn't even take the chicken cutlet after. Our water vase was empty the entire time and we never got a refill. We have four people sitting at this table, one vase isn't enough. Then we asked for the bill and waited on her to bring the machine for tap to pay for a while. We're sat right next to the kitchen where all the employees are chatting, including our waiter. Nobody looks busy why did it take so god damn long for everything at this restaurant. Everyone at the table works in customer service so we get it and we would never treat anybody this way. Genuinely have never had multiple staff members have such nasty attitudes towards me. They were rude from the moment we got there until the time we left. Anytime food gets brought up to me, I'll make sure to tell everyone to come here if they want SALMONELLA!! Honestly feels like they did it on purpose with the way we were treated the whole night. read more

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW: This place is incredible, J & V never ever disappoints, ever. I've become aware of a local conspiracy to write disparaging reviews about this place because the other restaurants are scared about going out of business, so be aware that most negative reviews are lies. The location is STUNNING, the food is absolutely top notch and the service is like a 5 star hotel. The waiters are attentive, they felt like personal butlers. Also, I need to know what type of diffuser they're using because the restaurant smells fantastic. It goes without saying the food is best in class and I'd recommend the meatballs, the spicy fusilli and the ham and eazy pizza. The little gem dressing is to die for, I'd drink it by the bottle if I could! read more
