“ "Incredible Italian food with authentic flavors and a warm, inviting atmosphere! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich and flavorful, and the fresh bread was a great start to the meal. The service was excellent--friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Every dish tasted homemade with high-quality ingredients. I can't wait to come back and try more ”

“ The food was fantastic! Definitely recommend if looking for great food, service and ambience. ”

“ Eddie was such a wonderful server, truly one of a kind! We shared a caesar salad, pizza, pasta al vodka and a bottle of red wine. It was so delicious and such a romantic setting. A hidden gem in the valley for sure! Thanks Eddie - we'll be back soon! ”

“ My all-time favorite restaurant in my neighborhood! A true keeper, wonderful food, large portions everything is delicious! I think I've had pretty much everything on the menu and have had the best experience there! A nice cozy, local restaurant that truly is a nice secret ”

“ Always an enjoyable meal & experience here. Eddie will take good care of you. Food is excellent & just discovered Mon & Tues select wine bottles are half off. My only complaint, and it's probably my fault, is I ordered a special without asking for the price. Got 4 kid sized lamb chops for the price of a rack. My suggestion is to always ask the price before ordering. Otherwise a fine dining experience & will come again. ”

“ This review is for my good man Eddie! he was our server tonight & despite it being a holiday he worked hard to give my family & i a great experience with a big smile! He has served my family multiple times before and always without a doubt was amazing with his service ! Eddie recommended the Vodka pink pasta which was very good! My favorite two dishes was the vodka pasta (9.1/10) and the scampi al cogna (9.4/10) which my mom had. I wish the vodka pasta had some protein because I didn't add any and I wish i did, but other than that it was a good dish! ”

“ First time there! Great authentic food! Nice atmosphere. Good service! I'll definitely go back! Desserts were yummy! ”

“ Got this out of the archives. I forgot to post this! This place is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Might not look like much, but their food speaks volumes! Although the kids' critique is to keep the chicken tenders plain and simple. The seasoning made the tenders inedible for the kiddos. Everything else was yum! Service was prompt and patient. The place feels like its been in the family for ages. Lowkey decor and casual dining. Definitely a go back for whenenever I'm in town and craving Italian cuisine. ”

“ It is not often that I stumble on a hidden gem. Al Italiano, a restaurant in West Hills is where I ended up, after a brief Friday evening search for an Italian eatery. Upon entering (without a reservation), we were warmly greeted and taken to our table that was adorned with white table cloth amidst a moderate crowd of happy diners.The initial serving is that of soft bread buns. Two of us ordered Cioppino and the third person asked for Lasagna. First, the Cioppino. It was unique in the fact that there was the choice to have it in a white wine broth or the traditional tomato base. I opted for the former. It also came with linguine, but instead of being on the side, it was added to the stew. The Cioppino had intense flavor and optimum body. The pieces of fish, mussels, clams and shrimp were cooked to perfection (I said no to calamari). The lasagna was also well received and well prepared. Finally, lava cake with vanilla ice cream. Also delicious. What additionally stands out at this restaurant is the service. Friendly, attentive, always smiling, accommodating and professional. Grazie, Signore e Signori. ”
