Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Panorama City

5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟- Let me give some context... I'm sure you'll agree, going out for dinner on a major holiday like Mother's Day, especially to an Italian restaurant of this quality is a challenge, to say the least. With that said, let me start with the chef-owner, Giorgio. Yes he was on the floor, sleeves up and who was overseeing each and every guest along with managing the backend while keeping an eye on floor. As the restaurant was literally full, we had to wait a few extra minutes for our main entre but Giorgio took care to ensure everything went smooth. We were all highly impressed with everything. Our server was managing several large tables of what appeared to be Italian families along with several other 4 and 6 tops. Each dish we ordered was delicious. Even as busy as they were they allowed us to split a Caesar 3 ways and there was enough for all. The salad was fresh with just the right amount of dressing and cheese and croutons with a slight hint of garlic. Bread was soft and crunchy. You know what I mean. The freshest calamari, and a spaghetti and meatball dish to die for. I believe the meatballs were ground filet and the sauce was exquisite. I could swear I could hear Grandma in the kitchen. It must have been her cookin' straight form Italy.

We made last-minute dinner plans for Mother’s Day. They had a pianist, which really said the tone and ambience for the restaurant service was slow, which was unfortunate but the food was good and entertainment was lovely.

Enjoy the food, however the server took a while to bring the stuff the table. Maybe it was busy when we arrived.

Really nice experience here. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and waiter. Food was delicious & a nice portion and had plenty to go!

Came in this past Sunday for Easter Brunch and had such a great experience! We made a reservation and despite showing up early, they sat us right away! The Sunday brunch is amazing and such a great value! So many options to choose from! Great omelettes,enchiladas, seafood, tacos, prime rib and not to mention the desserts! It will take a few more visits to be able to try all the amazing food! The staff was so on point! Jose was our server who made sure to check in on us and keep the mimosos flowing! Joseph was bringing food to the buffet area and was so friendly and helpful! Pointing out ALL the different food options! Go check them out! You will love it! 😋
