About the restaurant

THANK YOU FOR 5 YEARS!
NOW OPEN MONDAYS!

H.O.M. has a double meaning. Everything is homemade. From our regional pastas to the dough for our pizza. Our intention is to make you feel right at home, hence the name.
We are the same family that introduced Da Pasquale and House of Meatballs. We are now introducing an upscale casual Italian Eatery nestled in the heart of Woodland Hills.

Simply the best pasta in Los Angeles, been to the "big name" pasta places in LA, this is as good as it gets.

Great experience. Service was great. Ask for Billy Dupree, he’s excellent. Everything we tried had great flavor. My steak was a little over-prepared but was still very tasty. The ambiance was classic and cozy. I would go back the next time we are in the area because it was such a quality experience.

About the restaurant

Pagliacci's Trattoria Tavern in Studio City serves a wide variety of wines, has a premium selection of beer and offers a menu of American and Italian food items. All of the ingredients are fresh. Even the focaccia bread here receives rave reviews. Other great starters to consider are the tropicale salad, as well as amazing homemade fresh pastas.

The chicken parmigiano at Pagliacci's Trattoria Tavern is also very popular. Another item to try at Pagliacci's Trattoria Tavern is the lasagna with homemade sauce. If you have room, the tiramisu here is huge and topped with a dusting of cinnamon and raspberry sauce. There is also a delicious hazelnut gelato.

We had an incredible first visit to Casa Nostra! The service was outstanding-from the warm welcome to the attentive care throughout our meal. The manager went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and our server Fabio was excellent, checking on us often and making us feel so at ease and truly valued. We eat out often and love discovering great dining experiences, but this place made us feel genuinely special. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Calamari Grigliati appetizer, Tortellini Di Gamberetti, and the fish special. And to top it all off, we were treated to a tiramisu on the house! I don't usually write reviews, but Casa Nostra deserves a big shout out. We found a new favorite and can't wait to come back with our kids and family!
