Spectacular and authentic in all the best ways. Spumoni stays true to its roots and delivers the kind of classic Italian dining experience that's getting harder to find. We ordered the spaghetti carbonara and farfalle, and both dishes were excellent. The carbonara was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with the salty bite of pancetta and a generous amount of pecorino. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The farfalle was equally satisfying. fresh, flavorful, and comforting without feeling heavy. The atmosphere feels warm and old-school Italian, the kind of place where you can slow down and enjoy a proper meal. Service was friendly and attentive, and you can tell the kitchen takes pride in doing things the traditional way. If you're looking for authentic Italian comfort food made right, Spumoni is absolutely worth the visit. read more

Delicious food. Very nice house wines. Generous portions. Small, personal, friendly place. It was a lovely ending to a lovely day, thank you! Relatively easy parking, even on a Saturday evening. We will definitely go there again. read more

The perfect spot for a cute, cozy Italian date night. The food was delicious and the service was excellent!!! Everyone was so kind & attentive. We got the bruschetta which was the perfect start to the meal. Refreshing, light and tasty. We then followed it with the Caesar Salad which you really can't complain about. The real star of the show was our pastas!! We got the spaghetti Carbonara, and I must say it is probably one of the BEST carbonara I've had. The perfect ratio of everything and it was soooo tasty! We also got the Farfalle alla Vodka which was so good! The capers added a nice flare to the dish. They gave us free Tiramisu after which was the perfect way to end the meal. It had everything you want when it comes to a Tiramisu. Given their name, I wish they had Spumoni ice cream but it was still a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back to try their other dishes! read more

Great food paired with even better service. Owners is extremely welcoming, makes great suggestions on food and is very attentive. Very authentic vibe and very authentic tasting food. read more

Nice Italian spot on Montana with many options on their menu. There's indoor and outdoor seating, both were good and inside smelt amazing and like authentic Italian food, but we decided to sit outside because it was quieter. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe, great spot for dinner. Our server was okay, it seemed like every time I asked for something he seemed annoyed/bothered making me feel uncomfortable asking or ordering anything. However, we did go on a very busy night so maybe he was just stressed or overwhelmed. We ordered the calamari and carbonara pasta. The calamari was okay, but I was pretty disappointed with the carbonara, it lacked flavor. HOWEVER, the pizza... the pizza tasted phenomenal!! We got the pepperoni pizza and it was packed with flavor, every bite tasted amazing! The portion size was good as well. I will most definitely be coming back to try more of their pizzas! read more

Service was simply excellent! The owner clearly takes pride in what they serve. Food is more traditional, less Americanized. Ambience is nice, but old and outdated and just needs some love. My lasagna was semi warm and if you know anything about lasagnas, barely warm lasagna is just not it. read more

Best pasta ever would recommended first time here! The customer service is amazing and I know I'll be back for sure :) read more

Spumoni Restaurant - Honestly best pasta I've ever had and customer service is great would come back again for sure first time here! - Italian Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I found this place during the pandemic and remembered the excellent take out service. Four years later, we finally dined in person and had a wonderful experience! This no frills restaurant makes up for everything with their food. I will be back next time I am in the area. Personal note: thank you for celebrating my birthday! I appreciate the Chianti and service !! read more

We don't crave Italian food often, but when we do, we go to Spumoni. We know we will always have a great experience there. They play classic Italian music like "That's Amore", the owner is the friendliest man you'll ever meet, and the food is top notch and served with love at a reasonable price. I went on a weekday dinner with my wife and toddler, and there were many open tables. The waiter brought us water and bread with olive tapenade. The owner, an older Italian gentleman, came out to give us recommendations on the menu. He asked what our toddler liked to eat and brought us out a small kids sized plate on the house. Our chopped salad came split in two plates without us needing to ask for it. The owner chatted with us about the beauty of life and spending time with family. The spaghetti carbonara was out of this world. The chicken limone had an excellent grilled flavor with just the right amount of lemon. They brought us to go boxes when we mentioned we wanted to save some for lunch the next day. And of course they brought out the complimentary dessert. The whole time the owner was so friendly with our toddler. We all had a great time. read more

This was our second time at Spumoni. Our first visit was great, and the owner/manager just happened to come by each table and chat for a bit. We visited again for late Mother's Day dinner, and that wasn't just a "one-off". The owner, whose name we now know is Vasik, did the same thing we saw him do years go. He greeted guests at each table, and checked on everyone and often, IN ADDITION to taking orders and serving food. He enjoyed some bread and olive tapenade, to start. Then went on to order our entrees: Farfalle al Salmone Spaghetti Portofino Chicken Parmigiana Gnocchi Loren Every single dish we had was deliciously flavorful! He even topped off our dinner with complimentary tiramisu for my family of 5. Spumoni is now our new go-to for great authentic Italian food, and friendly service. read more

A warm and homely nook in the midst of an often superficial ventura blvd. Sorry Olive Garden, but when you are here, you are family unconditionally. Do not force your expectations and allow the charm of this establishment to treat you. Bread, olive oil, vinaigrette, add and olive dip to start. A carbonara and gnocchi pesto chicken broccoli dish, with garlic bread on the side. Sauvignon Blanc to wash it down and a tiramisu to seal the deal. The conversation between bites is sincere, and any delay in service is compensated for with heart and soul. Support the real ones and bring your loved ones here. read more

When the owner of the restaurant greets you, takes your order, and is running around with a huge smile on his face doing when he loves -- you know it's going to be good!!! This restaurant is the place to eat whenever you're craving Italian. The bread was so fresh and came with a delicious caper dip. The pastas were flavorful; huge portions too. But the complimentary tiramisu was the cherry on top! Would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and was craving Italian. This place had the highest reviews so I called and asked what the wait time was for two (it was Friday night at 7:30p), the owner answered and affectionately said "no wait my friend, I waiting for you!" Immediately sold. Got there, seated immediately, freshly baked bread and olive tapenade delivered to the table. Service was immaculate, owner is super friendly, jovial, and you can just tell he loves what he does. But the food... the FOOD my friends. I got the Gnocchi Boccaccio and it was delicious. Came out hot and was given fresh Parmesan table side. My partner got the tortellini and added chicken, also flawless. The tiramisu at the end was divine; not too sweet and very light. Everything was fantastic, and I already can't wait to come back. Couldn't recommend this place more. Feels like eating at grandpa's. read more

Such a lovely little spot. I had the spaghetti carbonara and it was honestly one of the best I've had -- rich, classic, and perfectly done. The restaurant has a cozy, old-school charm, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Amazing food and genuine hospitality. I'll definitely be back. read more

Satisfied is an understatement! The pasta was fresh as can be. Service was amazing, very attentive staff. We will definitely be back. Tiramisu was 100000/10 read more

Spumoni Restaurant - Limon pollo mushroom risotto - Italian Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Look, it pains me to write this because the service, business owner and waitstaff were all very hospitable and kind people who care about their customers. However, the food was incredibly mediocre. We ordered the Lasagna, the Carbonara for our mains, and the Bruschetta to start. All of it was under seasoned. To start, the Lasagna was a bit of a soupy, bland mess with barely any flavor or structural integrity. The Carbonara tasted like they used an alfredo sauce instead of your classic egg/parm base, and again, bland. The Bruschetta itself was decent, but the bread they served it on was definitively old and stale. The owner cares about his customers a lot and he's incredibly hospitable, but please, at the very least, just add salt to the dishes! read more

SERVICE: Absolutely LOVE spumoni and the wonderful staff! This definitely feels like a small mom & pop shop. On top of the complimentary bread with a lovely olive spread we get, they surprise us with complimentary tiramisu dessert at the end every time! AMBIANCE: cute little place. The kitchen is right in the front. It's a dimmer romantic kind of setting. It seems small but it's actually pretty deep in. FOOD: I love the olive spread with bread. The pastas are amazing! I still crave the Pesto pasta often, that's my favorite here! I've also tried a few of the seafood dishes and regular marina meatball, all also very tasty. I'm not from the area, but if I am nearby, I try to grab dinner here! I would highly highly recommend. read more

ugh this pasta was SO good. the owner was SO kind and friendly to our table. he was very charismatic and made the whole experience a memorable one. the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, a little dated but there's an old school charm in that. if I'm being picky, the food wasn't super hot when it had come out. otherwise, superb!!! read more

What a hidden treasure. Find your joy at Spumoni. Vasik, the owner/operator, loves what he does and it shows in the welcome he gives return customers and the excellent meals Spumoni serves. The carbonara, the chicken parm, or maybe something Vasik suggests based on your cravings. You can't go wrong. Highest recommendation. read more

I'm beyond starstruck, I almost needed to ask for an autograph coming to this restaurant. The owner is so nice. I had so many questions about different dishes, that I was unfamiliar with, and he answered everything so nicely & patiently and it felt so genuine. When I came, my food was fresh and hot and so amazing I can't even begin to explain if you don't try this place then you're crazy. This is the best Italian food I've ever had, and the best pasta I've ever had at a restaurant, other than me eating my own, their sauce is so good. I found my Italian restaurant and it's right down the street from me.. I was given a free dessert homemade, of course most definitely delicious. this is family owned you can tell, if you don't come here, you must be crazy. read more

Oh and to top it off he gave us a complimentary tiramisu wow i am so blessed to have found this gem on xmas eve !!!!!!

Absolutely fabulous little place!! The owner was our server and he made excellent suggestions, based on our specific tastes.

My hubby's spaghetti and meatballs were to die for. We will be back for the service, the food, and the adorableness of this little spot. read more

Came here to have dinner with some family last night, overall the food was great although the service was a bit strange. The man show as floating around and seemed to either be the owner to Supervisor clashed with my relative a bit and it was a bit uncomfortable but I'm guessing it was mostly due to a miscommunication read more

Spumoni Restaurant deserves 10+ stars from us. This restaurant never fails to serve authentic Italian food and the service is always impeccable! We dropped off our daughters to Hollywood Bow on 8/7/24 and as we were driving home, we immediately thought about Spumoni's delicious food. We were greeted warmly and got seated right away. Valsik the owner is always kind, friendly and has the most amazing personality. He is warm, polite and welcoming. He treats everyone like family! He remembers everyone and exemplifies the true meaning of customer service. The ambiance is very relaxing and homey like going to a family's home for dinner in Italy. They have a large space for large groups and they offer parking in the back. Wish we loved close by so we can dine here all the time. But whenever we are in the area, this is our favorite spot to dine. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered from Spumoni for the first time last night and it was so delicious! All six of us really enjoyed our meals. The portions were big, the food tasted homemade (the food was NOT bland or undersalted, something I was worried about when I read other reviews-- they were totally wrong). The service was amazing. Vasak was so friendly and patient on the phone while I was trying to order for a lot of people and he greeted me by name when I arrived. Overall, it's just a really sweet, delicious, family run business that I'm looking forward to supporting. read more

I absolutely love it here! To begin, the customer service is outstanding. The owner and its staff really make it their job to tend to your needs and even offer suggestions on menu options. The restaurant itself has a beautiful Italian home vibe that only makes you want to stay longer after dinner. The food is amazing. Going with my husband we had so many options, the owner made his suggestions based off our preferences and he did not disappoint! Every dish we have tried so far only brings a smile to our faces and we cannot get enough. Simple foods like bruschetta, pesto, salmon with pink sauce, are made with such flavor. We never leave without having a slice of their tiramisu. Since we found this place I'd say we've been back at least once a week, and I can say for sure we definitely look forward to coming to Spumoni's on that day each week. read more

I came here tonight for my bday. Nothing special, just me, wifey and kiddos. As usual, it was awesome. We come here all the time. But tonight my dish was completely amazing.

Delicious made-from-scratch food is what I wrote when we ate here in 2016 (thank you fb memories). We were checking out colleges around the area for one of our kids and we stopped here for dinner. There were 5 of us in our party. We were greeted and seated immediately and enjoyed an amazing meal in a neat environment. We had the rigatoni siciliana, lasagne di verdure, lasagne napoletana, fettuccine Alfredo, cannelloni florentine and it was all fantastic. The owner came over and chatted with us and wanted to make sure we were enjoying our meal. When we were finished, he brought us out a piece of tiramisu to share. Everything about this experience was excellent and if we're ever in the area again, we would absolutely go back. read more

This may have become my top Italian restaurant in Sherman Oaks! I've always seen this place and have never come; I'm happy I finally did. Note - "Hard Particles" at the top of the menu, it means pits in the olives. Small parking lot in the back or meter street parking (although fills up very quickly). The owner is always there to greet you (as the other reviews have mentioned). He's so sweet, very soft spoken. I felt bad I couldn't hear him too clearly! We got the Greek Salad, Spaghetti Portofino (Shrimp with pink sauce), and Gnocchi Boccaccio (Chicken, Broccoli, and Sundried Tomatoes with pesto sauce). The Greek Salad - the olives are SUPER strong, so if you hate olives, I don't recommend. Good thing we love 'em! Both our pasta dishes came out PIPPING hot! So fresh. The shrimp in the Spaghetti Portofino I thought was a LITTLE overdone, probably because the dish was so hot still after it was cooked. The Gnocchi was delicious - so squishy and love the pesto flavors. Both pastas were extremely creamy as well. They brought out a complimentary slice of Tiramisu and that was delicious, it was a bit on the sweeter side though. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place is an unassuming diamond in a strip of many Italian restaurants nearby. As the reviews have mentioned before, the owner is clearly very passionate about his business and makes sure to check on every table personally in addition to your waiter. Some of the best service I've received at a restaurant. The seating area is small and the atmosphere is nice. It has very homey feel to it. As for the food I think it was great. We got the lemon chicken and the chicken and pesto gnocchi. Very delicious, filling, and reasonably portioned and priced. And to top it all off, COMPLIMENTARY TIRAMISU. I cannot recommend this place enough and looking at the overall rating of this place, I'd say most others would agree. A definite return. read more

Excellent service and excellent food. It's hard to come by such personal service nowadays, especially with so many fast casual restaurants and busy restaurants that have 2-3 hour wait times. Spumoni's is a family-owned gem of the valley. My family and I were very well taken care of by the owner who really added a personal touch to our experience. We ordered the Italian salad, gnocchi Boccaccio, risotto pescatore, shrimp scampi, a chicken dish, and a spaghetti dish. Everything was delicious and fairly priced. The complimentary tiramisu really adds a nice touch, and the owner saw how much my brother enjoyed it that he gave him another one to go. We had a wonderful time here and would happily recommend it to anyone, and will be back! The restaurant is small but cozy. It was comfortable to accommodate our party of 6. Parking can be tricky, but they do have a small shared lot in the back and my brother was able to park for free around the corner. They take Apple Pay! Thank you for your amazing food and hospitality! read more

This place is truly a hidden gem. The pasta is so delicious had the pesto, the tortellini, gnocchi with mushroom and a pink one. Salads are amazing. The owner is the coolest person ever.
