    Complimentary bread
    Kimberly D.

    Solid Italian restaurant with really good food. The complimentary garlic rolls were warm but not hot. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our meal here! The bruschetta chicken was juicy and flavorful. The pasta with it was light and delicious. The chicken parm was quite good, but the bolognese sauce was the star of the meal. This was one of our favorite meat sauces we've had in quite a while. We finished the meal with a complimentary budino that our server brought to us as first time guests. The butterscotch flavor was light and creamy, so good! It was the perfect sweet treat to end the meal. Service was very good, our primary server was on top of things and the other people helped him out as well. Manager checked on us too. The restaurant is fairly small and was pretty full. From the outside, it's very unassuming but inside was nice and felt cozy.

    Having been here several times over the past several years, I'm surprised this is my first review! Anyway, this hole-in-the-wall restaurant is an amazing find! By all accounts, you wouldn't think it's all that great figuring its location and size but believe me when I tell you, don't be fooled! The food here, as well as the service, is top notch! I don't think I've EVER had a bad meal here. One day I'm gonna work up the courage to try their pizza as many people seem to love it. I really can't find anything to complain about really other than maybe I wish they had a more spacious layout? Outside of that, my advice (if you are wondering) is to not miss out and make reservations TODAY! You won't regret it!

    Tucked into a cozy corner in Burbank , this small Italian pasta spot delivers an experience that feels both intimate and memorable. The space itself is charming, with options to sit indoors for a warm, rustic ambiance, at the bar for a more lively vibe, or out on the patio for a relaxed, al fresco feel.The staff is attentive without being overbearing, genuinely welcoming. The food is where this place truly shines. Every pasta dish tastes fresh, rich, and made with intention--perfectly cooked noodles paired with flavorful, well-balanced sauces. A special touch that doesn't go unnoticed: the complimentary garlic bread. Served warm, buttery, and perfectly crisp on the outside. Overall, this restaurant proves that you don't need a large space to deliver an exceptional dining experience. Between the high-quality dishes, inviting atmosphere, and standout service, it's a place you'll find yourself wanting to return to again and again.

    The food was delicious and great portions. Our waiter was amazing, attentive, friendly and polite. Hooked us up with a dessert for our anniversary. What I love the most was the ambiance and the atmosphere very cozy restaurant

    Great food amazing service and people are so nice here and the waiters are so attentive and everything came out great! Highly recommend.

    I found this hidden gem tucked away in a Vons parking lot! I'm not gonna lie the location had me skeptical but as soon as we stepped inside we knew we found the perfect date night spot. The ambiance was so fun and had a cute romantic vibe. The inside is a bit small but it adds to the cute romantic atmosphere. The staff was INCREDIBLE. I wish I got our waiters name but he was extremely nice and attentive. His suggestions were great and he was very kind. The garlic knots were delicious! I will say the vodka pasta wasn't my favorite. I am a big spicy vodka gal and this one didn't really blow me away but it was good. My family enjoyed their dishes as well. Ambiance: 5 Staff: 5 Food: 4

    We came back here for the fifth time, and it somehow keeps getting better every visit. The first four times we came were during COVID when they were doing al fresco dining, and even then the experience was amazing so we already knew the food was something special. This time dining in again just confirmed it. Every single item we ordered was absolutely delicious perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. You can tell there's real consistency in the kitchen, which is rare and so appreciated. They start you off with warm garlic knots, which are honestly addictive and set the tone right away. On top of the incredible food, the service really stood out. Carlos, our server, was attentive, friendly, and super engaging with the table without ever being overbearing. He made the whole experience feel welcoming and personal. The ambiance was perfect for a group of friends or a romantic date night. Safe to say, we'll definitely be back again (and again). Highly recommend!

    calamari - 3/5
    Caroline C.

    We visited MA's Italian Kitchen for the first time to celebrate a birthday lunch, and we were not disappointed! Apart from the amazing food, our server Rene was what really made our experience great. This is a great spot in Burbank for any occasion. Appetizers Bruschetta (5/5) - The tomatoes and microgreens were extremely fresh and marinated well, I definitely recommend getting 8 instead of 4 since they were so good. Calamari (3/5) - Probably the only mid part of this whole meal, it was just.. ok... Mains Chicken Milanese (5/5) - The chicken was cooked perfectly, slightly crispy outside but extremely tender and juicy inside. The arugula and lemon vinaigrette also added a nice bright flavor. Meat Lasagna (5/5) - My dad always orders a lasagna when we eat Italian, and he said this is one of the best he's ever had! Ravioli Rosa (5/5) - Cheese ravioli with a pink sauce that is so good you eat the extra with bread. Definitely recommend! Dessert Butterscotch Budino (5/5!!!) - This was complimentary since we were celebrating a birthday, but wow I would absolutely order this again and be more than happy to pay for it. Even though the rest of our meal was all around fantastic, this was definitely the highlight. We ate it so fast I don't even have a picture of it. I 100% recommend MA's, and we will definitely be back!

    Quiet and cozy little spot but busy!! Delicious! Came here before seeing the phantom of the opera at the Pantages! Everything was good and the leftovers tasted even better the next day! Highly recommend and I will be back.

    I love having a great local Italian restaurant! It's in a plaza which makes parking very convenient and it's a very cozy vibe inside. We always come back for just the hot honey pizza and the shrimp scampi. They are very very good. Service is always good too. I knock off one star because it can be inconsistent where one day it's very good and another day it's just okay but I still keep coming back!

    lobster ravioli
    Delfin T.

    We had a great evening at this neighborhood italian restaurant. Not sure if the man was the owner or the manager... but he took care of us from the moment we arrived. Offered us drinks while we waited for our table which was not long at all. Our server was friendly & attentive. The owner/manager came personally to check on our table... and even joked around with us. That alone made our evening. But it's not gonna be a great evening if the food was not good. And glad the food was fantastic. After dinner, they sent us a budino on the house which was absolutely delicious.

    MA'S CLASSIC SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS
    Krissy R.

    We ordered online for pick-up, very accessible website. When I picked up our orders, the restaurant was packed and there was a queue. We ordered Chicken Piccata, the chicken was so the tender and it was rich in flavor. My partner ordered Ma's Classic Spaghetti & Meatballs, the pasta was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious overall. This is definitely going to be on my list for an Italian dine-in experience in Burbank.

    Pepperoni pizza
    Brian I.

    Just found this small restaurant set back in a corner of a strip mall next to Von's. Read the reviews on it and really wanted to try it. I have to say I was not disappointed. We shared a Cesar salad, Mozzarella sticks, and a small pepperoni pizza. I will always try a small pizza when I go to a new Italian restaurant as I feel it shows me a lot the flavors they favor. The only negative was that the marinara sauce for the mozzarella was just ok. I do have to say that their main courses were all excellent. We had the shrimp scampi, mushroom ravioli and chicken Marsala. Highlight I felt was the mushroom ravioli. If it's your first time they let us try their signature desert which was a Carmel desert that I felt was the best. We also tried the pistachio cake and passion fruit pan a cotta. The pan-a cotta is vegan so we noted that the texture was firm. The reason I gave this place a five was due to their excellent service by all of the staff. Seth and his staff work very well with each other and were very attentive.

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.

    (Dined 06/18/26 TH @ 12:30pm): The Northern Italian cuisine served at this house was as hot as the…read moresun! A realtor I recently worked with to sell two properties wanted to catch up and present me with a little something for the opportunity at Ca' Del Sole. I'd driven by this place since I often worked in the area or used the streets as a shortcut of sorts, while this was relatively close to his office in Studio City. Opened in 1994 by restaurateur Rudolfo Costella and fellow Venetian Master Chef Antonio Tommasi, the idea was to offer a glimpse into the atmosphere, cuisine, and culture of Northern Italy and a Venetian country inn in the center of the San Fernando Valley. Costella has since expanded his empire with a few more restaurants in Phoenix, AZ and Southern California, respectively. Would I feel at home under the guise of the warm Northern Italian sun!? PURCHASE(S) Breads & Dipping Sauce (COMP): Fresh puffy warm breads and an olive tapenade dipping sauce was a beautiful way to get this lunch started! It was refillable, but we were good. Peroni Nastro Azzurro Pale Lager Beer 5.1% ABV 12floz Bottle ($7.00): Amber honey color, honey malty aroma, light body, light bready malty flavor, clean effervescent finish, and a light malty sweet aftertaste. An easy Italian birra! Squash Blossoms 3pc ($21.95): We shared this lovely appetizer that was airy and lightly fried with a creamy sauce bed. I loved this creative healthy dish! Minestrone Soup Bowl ($13.50): Loaded with a bunch of fresh vegetables and a low-sodium broth, this was hearty and simple, but I liked my realtor's soup more. Asparagus Soup Bowl ($13.50): My realtor let me try his soup, which was an odd nuclear-yellow color, creamy, light, and silky smooth - heavenly! Shrimp Fusilli ($23.95): Homemade green fusilli and medium shrimp in a buttery creamy sauce topped with grated cheese, the portion was smaller than expected, but each bite was blissful, and I used the bread to wipe down my bowl! Salmon Farfalle ($23.95): My realtor let me try his heaping entree portion of thick chunks of tender salmon and velvety pasta in a butternut squash sauce - yummy Valet Parking ($7.00): Cash only, there weren't any other onsite options. SERVICE Once we arrived for our reservation, the lovely young hostess sat us in a relaxing cabana outside in the back patio where we were greeted by a friendly older gentleman server armed with menus and glasses of water. We took forever to order (sorry!), so he went over the specials, which we pretty much ordered from. Our drinks and bread basket arrived quickly followed by the appetizer, then our soups, and finally our entrees all spaced out as they checked on us regularly. Everything was casual and professional - grazie! PARKING ($7.00; valet only): They had a private lot. Otherwise, I should've done what my realtor did and parked along the main drag of Cahuenga Blvd. with meters - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A deceptively large layout once you entered the waiting area with a separate bar area nearby, an indoor dining area off in another direction, and then the amazing outdoor dining area with its mix of cabanas and open-air tables among plants and trees. Obviously, there was plenty of natural light outside (I couldn't say about the inside) while various electric lights covered the rest. It had a very European relaxed feel. I saw a TV in the bar area but couldn't recall any background music other than the street traffic. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was so happy to finally try Ca' Del Sole and couldn't wait to return, especially to try their Happy Hour (MO-FR 5pm-Close in the bar lounge area only; everything $5.00). The food was awesome, the menu selection was vast, the prices were a touch elevated, the atmosphere was European casual, and the service was top-notch. Plus, I preferred to support small mom & pop businesses whenever possible (sure, they owned a few other restaurants). I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $127.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

Jessica offered to sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, the service! Unmatched. The Italian seasoning added to the tomatoe sauce, makes it sweeter, aromatic. If you're familiar with my reviews, I'm always searching for vegetarian options. For desert we had the Panna Cotta with wild berries. Excellent, yummy! And we kept it cozy, with mint hot tea. Which is always a go-to around the Xmas holidays. The decor is northern Italian elegance: hand painted art, crystal chandeliers, and white linens abound. Reminds me of when we hiked the hills of Tuscany. With the holiday touch of twinkle lights and fresh winter floral bouquets. It seems most locals frequent here: Are known by name, and had the front door held open for them if elderly. What sweet, kindness and local vibes. We'll be back, to try perhaps the chicken the hubby says. :) Thank you all for an exceptional, romantic Sunday night dinner with my Hubby, during the holidays.

The shop is completely non-descript from the street. The lettering is small and the windows are tinted and you feel like you're about to enter a drab office, but when you open the door, you're treated to a feast for the senses. The space spans a mix of cafe, boutique gift shop, and bodega. Everything feels curated and little discoveries await you for those who are culinary minded. For example, I discovered that they sell frozen burritos from Las Palmas and frozen pizzas from Mozza?! Someone clearly knows their way across the culinary food map of Los Angeles. If you can pry your eyes long enough from wandering the corners of the store, you can finally place your order of breakfast, lunch or coffee/tea. I just took my cold cuts sandwich on house-made ciabatta to the proverbial mattress. The bread had enough structure to handle the piles of quality deli meats, yet was less dense than some other ciabatta breads I've tried. But, it did an admirable job packing in the flavors from the spicy peppers, cheese, meats. Wow. I'm just gonna say that this cold cuts sandwich was one of my top 3 from LA. As I grazed the bakery display, a patron whispered that I should try the biscuit with jam and butter. The guy was wearing Cheetos socks so I immediately felt that his recommendation was trustworthy. I threw in my lot with the biscuit and oh boy, did it (and his recommendation) deliver. Humble looking on the outside, there's a nice salted, buttery crust to the exterior that opens up to an inviting platform to slather on creamy butter and jam. I fully understand why he felt the extra calories were worth it. I'd do it again. Of course, I couldn't order a biscuit without a drink, so I tried their summery limoncello cream iced matcha with oat milk - summers in Kyoto and Sicily combine for a refreshing and satisfyingly creamy bever-"aaage" that adds some pep to your step, even when the mercury pushes past 100. Enjoyed with the biscuit, I was darn near ready to call it a day as I had probably experienced my best moment of the day. Little Nelly is officially on my weekly rotation from here on out.

It looked amazing and honestly the first couple of bites were really good!! The flavor was good, the crunchy potatoes, eggs and cheese were yummy and I did enjoy the bacon. I thought it was a great burrito, but the more I ate it, the more salty it tasted so I ended up thinking it was just an okay burrito. I do wish they offered an option for sausage instead of bacon. I think overall, the place is very charming and the food isn't bad at all! I am glad I tried it I just don't think it's something I'd reach back for.

We ordered a small mango gelato, Italian chocolate chip ice cream, small cookies and cream. Could not leave without a black and white cookie.

    Monte Carlo Deli serves authentic Italian pasta, pizza, and sandwiches. My go-to orders are the…read moremeat lasagna and the pastrami sandwich. The lasagna is delicious, and the noodles melt in your mouth. I like it because it's not overly heavy like some other lasagnas. It comes with two piecea of garlic bread. During my last visit, one was a bit burnt on the edges. The pastrami sandwich is really tasty, and the bread is soft but still has a nice chew. It usually comes with marinated diced tomatoes, but I always ask for them on the side. If you dine in, the sandwich comes with two deli sides. On my last visit, I got the potato salad and marinated artichokes and both were great. The potato salad was creamy, and the artichokes were super flavorful. For dessert, I tried the tiramisu, and it was a bit underwhelming. It had a slightly gritty texture. Since it's imported from Italy, I had high expectations, but I'm guessing it's shipped frozen, which might be why it didn't taste fresh. I wouldn't order it again. They also sell Italian cookies and gelato. The cookies are good, especially the raspberry ones. The gelato is really refreshing. I recommend mixing mango and raspberry if you like something tart, or trying the tiramisu flavor if you want something sweeter. It's a cafeteria-style deli, so you order at the counter, pay, and then find a table. They also have outdoor seating.

Since randomly stumbling across this hole in the wall a couple months ago I have been back multiple times. My fav is the imported prosciutto sandwich, I can't get enough of it.!!!!! The people here are very kind and always take care of us well. The sandwiches are just so perfect exactly what u would think of when u imagine a classic Italian sandwich. Most of all I appreciate their authenticity among a sea of franchised sandwich shops.

I will say I usually stick with the soft rolls, as the "crusty" Italian rolls tend to taste stale, rather than crisp. However, reason for 4 stars instead of 5 -- they recently changed their online ordering menu, and IMO it's a disaster for ordering sandwiches. I've stopped ordering because there's no way to change or remove toppings on specialty sandwiches, no way to know what toppings are included on non-specialty sandwiches, and no way to add or select cheese (besides Swiss?). Seems odd for a deli to not have a clear layout for these options, and the previous version of their menu did a better job at this.

    Highly recommend Angelino Trattoria -…read more Two foodies who met in college dined at Angelino Trattoria. The restaurant is tucked away on a corner, and we entered from the back. The trattoria had low lighting and looked like a romantic little Italian villa with Sinatra music lilting in the background. It felt much more a date night place than a business dinner. First, the wine list by the glass had excellent, very interesting and offbeat selections. The bottle selection was really superb. Then, as a starter, we shared a white bean and lobster appetizer. It tasted absolutely amazing ... and a dish that neither of us had tried before. Our very seasoned and polite waiter told us we would enjoy it. Next, he had the lobster ravioli, and I had the salmon. Both were really cooked to perfection and wowed us. Lastly, for dessert, we split this most amazing pistachio gelato that came cut into slices with finely chopped pistachios sprinkled on top and a most delish type of pistachio paste?? inside. Angelo, the owner, stopped by and chatted with us during the meal, and we felt as though we had almost dined in someone's private home with a most amazing meal.

    Amazing ambiance! We walked in and the inside was a cool dark room lit by tiny lights at the…read moretables. My fiancé had been wanting to go here for a while and we live down the street so we figured we'd try. Angelo came out and was extremely sweet and accommodating as well as our server; honestly every one of the staff were extremely sweet and helped me pick out what to order. The super Tuscany wine was amazing, the appetizers, (Roman Pruscetta and the Caesar salad) were incredible. The Pastas were also out of this world. This will be my new spot for taking anyone for a nice dinner.

I was expecting prices to be more expensive than usual, but I was very surprised and delighted to see that it wasn't. Whenever I head to this side of Cali, I'll be sure to stop by here for my treats.
