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.

This has easily become one of my favorite Italian spots and a regular staple for me and my guy…read morebestie! One of the things I love most is the open-kitchen concept. 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.

Friends ordered the vodka penne & grilled salmon w/arugala salad, both said it was fine....The negative...our waitress kept disappearing! She didn't come back to take our order, the host did as she was m-i-a..for dessert they gave my bf their house specialty, the pudding cup w/sparkler...cute...she asked if we were 1st timers, as they offer free dessert of same pudding, yes, we were 1st timers!! But, again, disappeared, when she came back we asked for the free dessert & she again said,"Oh, this is your 1st time here??" yes....so she quickly brought the pudding....We had to ask for the check, then wait again for it to be processed....To me, the service is almost more important than the food as it can change your opinion, even if the food was cold....Overall we had a nice time, we enjoyed our friends, the food was good, the atmosphere is very upbeat indoors, outside it's very mellow....I'd go again, it was a Monday night, it's probably crazier on weekends...make a res online only!!!

After a very long day, I somehow ended up in Sherman Oaks driving down Ventura Boulevard when the…read morewords "Hungarian & Italian Cuisine" caught my eye. That combination was interesting enough to make me turn around, park the car, and walk over. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you don't plan. I was lucky enough to find street parking, but considering they are located in a relatively small shopping center on one of the busiest stretches of Ventura, they have wisely arranged valet parking as well. As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed by a gentleman who I assume was either the manager or the owner. They didn't really have a table set up for one, but instead of turning me away, they were kind enough to make it happen. That was a great first impression. The restaurant itself is extremely clean, smells nice, and is beautifully designed with artwork throughout. It has a comfortable, slightly modern atmosphere with tall ceilings that makes you want to sit down, relax, and actually enjoy your dinner instead of rushing through it. I ordered a bottle of sparkling water, the beef soup, pork chops, and pickles on the side. Everything was good--except the pickles, which just weren't for me--but the star of the meal was definitely the beef soup. The soup was excellent. Well made, well seasoned, just a tiny bit spicy, and the portion was generous enough that I would honestly say two people could share it. After a long day, it was exactly the kind of food I needed. The pork chops were also prepared well, although they weren't completely to my personal taste. I was expecting a little more seasoning or spice. That said, I'm not Hungarian, so there is a very good possibility that they prepared them exactly the way they are supposed to be made back home--and I'm the one asking Hungary to change its recipe for me. For everything I ordered, plus the quality of the service, my bill came to about $68 as of September 2026. Considering the amount of food I received, I thought that was very reasonable. I'll definitely be back. There are quite a few other things on the menu I want to try, and next time I'd like to come when I'm not at the end of a very long day, take my time, order something different, and possibly enjoy it with a good glass of wine.

My son and I have been talking about trying this place for about 2 weeks now and we finally came in…read morefor dinner tonight. We parked in one of their 3 parking spots in the back and entered through the rear entrance. We were greeted by Aya who mentioned they were having some plumbing problems so we needed to sit in the front section of the restaurant. The place is pretty small and compact, with about 10 tables. It's family owned and been around for 25 years. The prices are pretty affordable for the portion sizes. Not much ambiance or decorations, but there was some nice Italian music playing overhead and some Christmas decorations that are apparently hung up year-round. Both Thomas and Aya waited on us and they were both pleasant and kind with nice smiles. Thomas quickly brought out some waters along with their complimentary focaccia that came with olive tapenade. The bread tasted old and stale and wasn't warm, but I liked the tapenade. Surprisingly, we were never asked if we wanted anything else to drink and also never got refills on our waters until I had to ask for one. I ordered the Italian salad with dressing on the side and I asked if the carrots that came in the salad were cooked or raw, since I don't like raw carrots. Aya happily suggested that they can cook me some carrots separately and bring them on the side, which is what they did. Even though the carrots were not really cooked that well, the gesture was still greatly appreciated. Other than that, all the ingredients were very fresh and the dressing was LIGHT, just how I like it. For our entrèes, I got the Pollo Della Cassa which came with chicken breast and mushrooms baked with mozzarella cheese, served on pasta with Alfredo sauce. ($24.95), with an add-on of shrimp (+$3.00 for 3 shrimps). I also asked for light sauce, not too soupy, and that's exactly how it was prepared. The food was piping hot, very fresh, and delicious. My son ordered the Pollo Limone ($24.95) that came with grilled chicken breast with lemon sauce on mushroom risotto. He was not the biggest fan of his food but still ate all of it. He also asked if he could get a side of veggies and they gladly brought out a medley of sautéed broccoli, zucchini, and carrots. We were not charged for the side of veggies and also the salad, which was very generous of them. To end the meal, you get a small complimentary square of Tiramisu which is a nice little treat. The customer service is truly the best part of this restaurant and you can tell that there is a lot of love involved here. They really care about their guests and want you to feel happy and satisfied. Due to some minor ticks here and there, I think I am going to stick with 4 stars overall. The restaurant was clean but just kind of unpleasant. You could also smell the bleach right when you walk in and sometimes the smell would waft through the air. It was also really hot in the restaurant and I don't think the A/C was working. They have one bathroom for each gender and they were very clean. I also asked for some change to leave cash for the tip, but Thomas told me they didn't have any cash in the restaurant. How can that be? Thank you Spumoni, Aya, Thomas, and the chefs. Will I return? Maybe, maybe not.

What a crazy number of days, weeks, months we've spent without enjoying the good food and friendly service at this comfy, homestyle Italian eatery with a full bar and even fuller menu of properly prepared, seriously tasty dishes. The room is cheery and bright, while remaining welcoming. Not a sign of anything corporate here -- just homespun hospitality and good vibes from start to finish. Our server, Chris, was attentive and most accommodating, explaining various options to us newbies, and making my wife an offer she couldn't refuse: she was trying to decide between Chicken Parm and Cacio E Pepe, so Chris offered to swap the plain pasta side of the parm with Cacio E Pepe, giving her both dishes in one. Sold. You pretty much never see that kind of thing happening nowadays. And it was a great thing, to be sure. The generous portion of chicken was lightly fried and topped with an equally light tomato sauce that complimented the chicken and cheese rather than overwhelming them. The flavor and texture were spot on, and the robust Cacio E Pepe made for a very nice pairing. Me? I ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, once Chris assured me it was made the traditional way rather than doused in cream as so many places now do. And indeed, the spaghetti was textbook al dente, dressed with with egg yolk and cheese that combined into a richly satisfying sauce. The pancetta brought a touch of salt and plenty of smoky accents, making this about as top notch a version of this dish as you're likely to find in the Valley. Cannoli were sweet and rich; a wonderful palate cleanser at the end of our meal. A Pepperoni Pizza taken to go for our kids at home looked absolutely first rate. Did I mention my martini? Properly made, cool and crisp, and only $15. Quite the bargain for this side of town. Yes, Trattoria Del Sole came as a surprise, but it should be no surprise to anyone reading this that we'll be making this our regular haunt from now-on. I think you should, too.
