Al Italiano

Hidden gem! Delicious authentic Italian cuisine. Generous portions. Great service. Brenda the server is a sweetheart and made fantastic suggestions. I will definitely be back soon.

I finally found my old friends again and the best Italian food in Southern CA. Thanks to the gang at Al Italiano for the great food and great service. This group is the best out there. I travel all over the country in my business and they certainly set the bar. To everyone reading this post you will not be disappointed. This is family dinning at its best.

We stopped in at Al Italiano later on a Sunday night. I love Italian cuisine. I had the pasta with meat sauce and hot Italian sausage. It was so incredibly flavorful I skipped my usual adding of red pepper flakes. My companion asked for a recommendation and decided upon the eggplant Parmesan based on our server's suggestion. She thought it was perfectly splendid. The service was perfect. The menu complete. The preparation and presentation exceeded our expectations. In short we have a new favorite destination for Italian cuisine in Los Angeles and it is Al Italiano. Bravo!

This place is fantastic! The food is delicious! It's fresh, didn't have to salt or pepper anything, the atmosphere was charming, service great and price very fair. This is my new favorite Italian restaurant.

One of the best restaurants in the west valley. We had a variety of dishes including pasta and osso bucco. All of which were very fresh and expertly prepared. They were delicious! Our server recommended a great glass of wine to go with my food and the service was attentive, very pleasant and professional. Can’t wait to go back to this gem!

I came here for the first time with my son on Valentine’s Day. The food is amazing. Taste like real Italian food from Italy. It’s like you’re there. Growing up in the valley I don’t know how I’ve never been here. It’s amazing and now we have a place to visit often for great food and drinks

This has been our favorite local restuarant for many years. Robert and his wonderful staff always greet us with a warm welcome. We enjoy a wide variety of savory choices on the menu as well as the great deserts. We truly enjoy coming here as a couple and for nights of celebration with family and friends.

The owner is too nice to ask for a review but this place deserves all the stars. Been going here for years and it's always great service, unusually good food and I've been working my way through the entire menu and honestly, not a bad dish yet.

Great experience all around. Very attentive service and excellent food. We ordered shrimp and salmon dishes that were very tasty. Also tried the tiramisu and it was so creamy and fresh. We all had a great time w happy hour wine deals. Great place for family or intimate dinner. Will be back.

Our only complaint was that it was rather warm inside. The food was good, the wait staff was attentive and quick to bring with we wanted. We had a variety of dishes, I'd like to go back and try some of the specials. They sounded pretty awesome, but I had my heart set on the tortellinis and they did not disappoint!

Lovely ambiance with great staff eager to please you. It is a quaint place with an outside garden setting and romantic. The food is very good and a bit different and unique compared to other Italian restaurants. The food is very good and very flavorful.

Everything about this place makes me happy. From everyone that works there to the amazing food…I have been here every night that I’ve been in town. You can’t go wrong with anything you order! I can’t wait to come back

SO GOOD!!! We literally drive 30 minutes to come here. The food is amazing, the service is so lovely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️10/10!!!

This place is absolutely amazing!! I always come here with my family when my mom and her husband are in town. The food and service is always beyond exceptional. I also love that it’s surrounded by the mountains. The atmosphere and vibes are always perfect. Food is delicious!

Another enjoyable evening at our favorite restaurant. Amazing food and service. Mike at the piano added a very special touch to the atmosphere. He is talented and entertaining, on Saturdays. The entire staff is friendly, helpful and fun. Stop in soon.

We've been here twice now, and both times I have visited I had a lovely time! I highly recommend the salad with green apples and raspberry balsamic vinagrette, any of the belinis, and oh my goodness the affogato. This spot is an absolute delight for dinner plans.

Exceeded our expectations, Robert's staff really took great care of us. One of the best restaurants offering a variety of authentic Italian menu choices. Affordable great Italian meals.

Amazing food. The service is genuine and attentive, Eddie was very informative and a pleasure to have as our server. My family and I will definitely be back!

There really is nothing bad to say about Al Italiano. The atmosphere is relaxed, modern Italian. We were able to have a nice conversation without yelling at each other. Our server, Eddie, was brilliant. Right on time without being overbearing. Since this was our first time there, he guided us through the menu, specials and wine. He was very knowledgeable about the food and made marvelous suggestions. Started with calamari, lightly breaded and tender. Caprese salad, large slices of tomato and mozzarella was outstanding. Shrimp scampi cognac was very tasty with a light hint of lemon. Cioppino was scrumptious and very filling. And enough to take home and make another meal. Salsiccia piccante was incredibly enjoyable with a light pesto without being bold. Shrimp parmigiano fra diavolo was wonderfully tender and spicy. A great place to enjoy family time, or friends, or sit at the bar and relax.

10/10 would recommend. Finally stopped in for lunch and we were blown away. Great service with Eddie. Started with fresh warm bread served with yummy oil, enjoyed a delicious and fresh Ceasar salad, the caprese salad was drizzled in an excellent balsamic, and the special filet of sole was so good I wanted to lick the plate (I didn’t). The fresh Tiramisu was also excellent! Excellent in every way.

Had dinner there tonight with my friends and it was perfect. Great setting, amazing food and the owner and staff were really kind and engaging . Felt like home! There should never be an empty table in this gem.

Everything was so good and fresh! I could taste the love in each bite. The waiter was extremely helpful and kind. His name was Eddie. He made the night very enjoyable. We are excited for our next meal there!

Lovely patio dining and my salmon al la vodka was a culinary delight.

Quality and tasty food, nice place. Design is simple, I wouldn't call it romantic, but it is really nice and Italian look. The chef prepared us some dishes that were not in the menu, really great. The service sometimes little bit too much (we were asked about 4-5 times by different waitresses if everything is ok), but everything with smile, helpful and explaining. Good place!

Ample parking. Patio dining. Very attentive servers and a hands on manager. Nice place!

The Best Italian in the West Valley. The atmosphere is warm and inviting the the stay is eager to please. The food is like home cooked comfort food. We loved the linguni and clams and also had the filet of soul special which was delicious. The pizza was terrific were all the pasta dishes and they have a great wine list. The deserts even better. Our new go to Italian for sure.

One of the best Italian restaurants, could easily rival the highly acclaimed places in so-called trendier neighborhoods. Every server here was so welcoming and accommodating and the food, from their house bread and oil to their salads and specials, were superb. So excited to come back to try more of their offerings

My fiancée and I have been coming here for a few years now, often times for a special occasion but more frequently for a nice night out. The staff is exceptional; we are seated quickly and they remember us each time we come back, whether it be several months to a year later. They are also able to accommodate special requests within reason, like if you’d like their mezzaluna parmagiana with chicken instead of eggplant. Their outdoor seating is beautiful no doubt, but what truly keeps us coming back is the food. So good! Every dish we’ve had has been a delight to eat. Highly recommend the Salciccia e Pepe

Everything was amazing. Our servers were all warm and attentive. Eddie was so sweet. We will be back. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

The food is delicious, and the staff (Eddie, and oh shoot - I’m forgetting her name, think it’s starts with a B) - were wonderful. Would recommend for any celebratory occasion! The patio area has a water fountain and fairy lights, which is nice :) The calamari was perfect! The Cioppino (something I’d never tried before) was also delicious.

Al Italiano is an outstanding italian restaurant. From the moment that we walked in, we were treated like family. The entire staff is so incredibly warm and attentive; they truly make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming. And the food... wow! Every single dish was absolutely delicious and tasted wonderfully authentic. We love eating here almost every week. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an amazing meal and a truly positive dining experience.

The best Italian food I tried so far the moment me and my family walked in we had amazing! Service I am happy that I have a new favorite Italian restaurant to go to definitely my top 5 restaurant

Great Italian food at a great price. Beautiful interior (don't be put off by the strip mall exterior). Ask for Edwin as server, he's excellent!

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Excellent food, perfect service and comfortable atmosphere.

Drove by this place 100s of times. Never thought twice about it until a friend told us we had to go. It's kind of a hidden gem. The food was really good. The staff was really nice. Great top notch Italian restaurant.

A nice, cozy, clean and somewhat compressed restaurant with a warm interior and well-laid-out tables. There is a small lobby prior to being seated. The bathrooms are single person and concealed by a barrier. There are physical menus. The staff accommodate special requests and I would recommend getting a side of meatballs with parmesan!

It's a very good neighborhood restaurant. Everyone there is very attentive to your needs. Good food and service

I came here for my chorus' spring dinner. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was great. We had a Prix Fixe menu from which I had the Scampi, and my fiancé had the Chicken Parmigiano. Can't wait to go back and try the other entrees. Our entire group had a blast.

This is a great Neighborhood Restaurant. I ordered a veal parmigiana with a side of pasta and steamed vegetables. Everything was cooked to my liking, the atmosphere inside was jovial. The wait staff was pleasant, knowledgeable, and accommodating. There is inside seating as well as outside seating in a garden area. The menu is extensive for an Italian restaurant. The wine list shows wines of a lighter nature, not trying to outdo the flavors on the menu. I brought a Stolpman Vineyards 2011 Angeli which is a medium-bodied Sangiovese. This paired very well with the veal. I would recommend this place as a great go-to spot for a wonderful Italian meal.

Worse pizza I’ve ever had. I didn’t expect this from an Italian restaurant. I ordered 4 pizzas for pickup and even waited an extra 15 minutes after the app said they were ready. When I got home, I couldn’t even put them in front of my guests. The crusts on all of the pizzas were undercooked and awful. Truly the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten.
