Excellent restaurant. Food and service is impeccable. Been going to this restaurant for 15 year's. I've never had a bad experience. The ambiance is impeccable. Juan is the most caring and gives very good and attentive service. read more

Holy WOW! This place never ever disappoints! From the time you sit down the ambiance of the place is stellar! The waiter was awesome! Pleasant and well mannered, never bothersome but extremely attentive to making sure we had all we needed and our glasses were never empty. This is our 2nd visit to this place and it just gets better each time. The food is so Italian and flavorful! Beautiful presentations on the portions are perfect Finally the umbrellas went down and the lake became the spotlight of the evening. The sun was going down and it was breathtaking. Highly recommend trying this place out! Cheers to next time! read more

We came in for a birthday dinner and sat inside near the window and through the umbrellas had a partial view of the lake. After all this heat the air conditioning was refreshing! The ambiance is upscale but casual. Service was less attentive than I expected. My drink was incorrect and after waiting for 15 mins to get the attention of the waiter, I went to the bar and had them correct it. The food was better than expected with the seafood risotto being the outstanding dish. The steak also look great and was cooked perfectly. For dessert we had baked Alaska, which I never see anymore. All around it was a good place to have a party! All our guests left satisfied! read more

Came here recently for our wedding anniversary and what an experience! Firstly had no trouble making a reservation. I was a bit bummed that we made our reservation days prior but when we got there we would've had to wait for a lakeside table. So we ended up not sitting lakeside due to the wait. Regardless, still a great experience. Our waiters name was Eggy and he was AMAZING. So kind and personable, knowledgeable of the menu, and just on it. Fast and friendly service. The food was also incredible. The jumbo shrimp cocktail was so tasty! The crab cake was perfection. And the lobster bisque was also pretty good. Entrees- I got the clam linguine. Soooo tasty. Loved every bite of that. My husband got the risotto with the sea bass, shrimp, and I think it was scallops? I forgot exactly but his was so good I would definitely get that next time. He also got a seafood pasta I forgot the name of but it was also really yummy. Lastly we got the baked Alaska. This was okay. It was fun to watch but it burned quickly and had an off taste. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu and hopefully sit lakeside next time! Oh also my espresso martini! To die for! read more

Had a lovely lunch at Boccaccio's today. Freddy was our amazing and professional server. We started with margaritas and bread. My wife had the chicken marsala Toscana and I had the Dover sole. The ambiance was amazing at lakefront and the food delicious. The service, environment and food was quite good. Highly recommended read more

Another amazing experience at Boccaccio! This has become one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The lake views are absolutely beautiful, the service is always warm and attentive, and the food is consistently excellent. The crab cakes and lobster bisque are the stars of the show and are a must-order every time we visit. That said, everything we've tried has been delicious. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and you can tell they take pride in every dish. If you're looking for a restaurant with great food, outstanding service, and a beautiful setting, Boccaccio never disappoints. We'll definitely be back! read more

Boccaccio's has an absolutely beautiful location with stunning views, which is what initially drew us in. I was expecting to be impressed, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. The service was underwhelming from the start. Simple requests, like asking for straws, had to be repeated multiple times, and overall attentiveness was lacking. One thing that was particularly disappointing was that we visited during lunch and asked if the kitchen could make the beef stroganoff from the dinner menu for three people. The restaurant was not busy, but the request was declined. While I understand menus and kitchen policies exist, a little flexibility would have gone a long way. As for the food, it was just average. We ordered the French dip, which lacked flavor and wasn't particularly memorable. The Caesar salad was good. Surprisingly, the desserts were better than the entrées and were the highlight of the meal. The scenery and ambiance are definitely worth noting, but based on our experience, the food and service didn't live up to the beautiful setting. read more

Boccaccio's Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Westlake Village, California

Hello Friends and Fellow Foodies, Five Stars All The Way!+ I have to say, these days it's becoming harder and harder to find a restaurant that delivers both outstanding food and exceptional service. Too often, one or the other falls short. However, my experience yesterday at Bocaccio's on the Lake in Westlake Village was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The service was outstanding the moment we walked through the door. We were seated immediately, and within minutes, the staff had brought fresh water with lemon, warm bread, butter, olive oil, vinegar, and Parmesan cheese. The attention to detail and level of hospitality were impressive. Our server was friendly, attentive, professional, and provided excellent service throughout the entire meal. As for the food, it was simply phenomenal. I ordered the Beef Stroganoff Pasta, which featured tender filet mignon and an incredibly rich, flavorful sauce. In all honesty, it was the best beef stroganoff pasta I have ever had. The side of sour cream elevated the dish even further and brought everything together perfectly. We also ordered the Chicken Parmesan, served with spaghetti and meat sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were outstanding. It was a classic Italian dish executed exceptionally well. Since we weren't drinking alcohol that day, we ordered the Passion Fruit Iced Tea. It was refreshing, delicious, and beautifully presented with fresh orange slices. A perfect complement to the meal. To top it all off, the weather was gorgeous, the lake views were stunning, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. The pricing was also very fair by today's standards. The Beef Stroganoff was around $28, and the Chicken Parmesan was approximately $32--both excellent values considering the quality of the food, service, and dining experience. Overall, Bocaccio's delivered one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. Great food, outstanding service, beautiful scenery, and reasonable prices. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Westlake Village, I highly recommend giving Bocaccio's a visit. Five stars all the way. -- Jerome read more

A nice quiet local spot that feels like a quick getaway with it being on a lake. You get a nice peaceful water view with your meal. The portion sizes of their plates are huge. I saw a chicken parm come out and it looked big enough for 2 or more. Drinks are great and servers let you sample new seasonals sometimes. read more

Been to Boccaccio's several times. Love the view and food selection. Don't know why it always pisses me off when I get the handheld credit card machine the waiter always selects the 25% tip selection right when he gives me the machine and stands right there so he can see me hit approve and sign. Yes, I can choose the 20% but still, he should not be hitting the 25%. Service was good but not great. I rather give the 25%+ to the chef cause the food was delicious. I went there this past weekend and had the following: Steak and Fries - cooked perfectly - Medium Rare. juicy and tender Spaghetti Primavera - very tasty Cesar Salad with Chicken - Definitely my favorite, lots of tasty tender chicken. I need to make an effort to go more often, especially the summer for lunch to view the beautiful lake. read more

I came here with my family for lunch. We were seated pretty quickly. And they brought us out our waters and bread shortly after we were sat down. We shared Burrata Caprese which was good. My pasta was yummy. I'm a vegetarian while my party was not. I had no trouble eating here. It was so nice to sit outside on the lake. Good environment. I would definitely come back.

A special occasion restaurant for generations, and one visit is enough to understand why. The setting is absolutely beautiful. Sitting by the lake as the sun begins to set creates one of the most romantic dining experiences in Los Angeles. The views are timeless and elegant, making every meal feel like an occasion. I want to go back here more. The menu focuses on classic Italian favorites prepared with consistency and care. While trends come and go, Boccaccio remains true to what it does best: good food, attentive service, and an atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and enjoy the evening. Old-school hospitality and a setting. Take someone you want to make memories Ruth here. A beautiful waterfront dining experience. read more

What a great experience! We came out for Valentine's Day weekend and expected it to be very busy, but luckily it wasn't bad at all. My boyfriend made reservations, which definitely helped. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted nicely and seated right away. We decided to sit outside because they have a beautiful view of the lake, and the outdoor heaters made it perfect for dinner. The patio looks so pretty with lots of seating and chandeliers running through the middle, making it feel very nice and fancy. The service was amazing. Our waiter took great care of us, answered all our questions, and gave us the best food recommendations. For appetizers, we ordered the clams. They were okay--not my favorite, but not terrible either. They were marinated in a lemon sauce but were lacking a little flavor. For the main course, I couldn't decide between the lobster ravioli and the seafood soup. I asked our waiter what he recommended, and he said the lobster ravioli--and when I say it didn't disappoint, I MEAN THAT. It was one of the best raviolis I've had in a long time. So creamy and flavorful, I would come back just for that dish. My boyfriend ordered his usual ribeye steak with potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender. I do wish it came with mashed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes, but it was still good. At the end, we got the dessert menu, and how could I say no? We ordered the crème brûlée, and wow--it was one of the best I've ever had. I can't wait to come back again. Strongly recommend! read more

Wanted to take my lovely Bride/Mom out for early Mother's Day Brunch to one of our favorite locations. Boccacio's is right on Lake Westlake and offers such a beautiful atmosphere for any meal or occasion. Started out with Cuppacino's and enjoyed the peaceful lake views before our food was served. A great brunch menu is offered from 9:00am to 2:00pm with plenty of delizioso choices. Our dishes came out hot and plenty by our server John, very friendly and ready to offer any assistance you need to make your meal perfecto. We have dined here many times but I truly enjoy Brunch here the most, they do offer inside dining and during the colder seasons here in So Cal they put up enclosed patio dining with heaters, but we do enjoy dining anytime of day al fresco. Great full bar options as well as wine is offered but may I suggest dining al fresco on the patio to enjoy the beautiful views of the lake, it really makes the dining experience memorable. You won't be disappointed by Boccacio's and the views so give it a try. Bravissimo Boccacio's! Bon appetitto read more

Weekend brunch goals are unlocked at Boccaccio's in Westlake Village! Nestled right on the lake, this spot brings the perfect mix of elegance and relaxation with stunning waterfront views and a brand new brunch menu you have to try. Their cocktail menu is vast and probably one of the better menus I've seen at a more elegant restaurant. They aren't just serving up those classic martinis and wines - they have a large selection of innovative and fun cocktails. For example I ordered their Matcha Margarita and I loved it! Matcha and tequila? Who knew it would be such a good mix. Definitely would order this again. They serve weekend brunch now with an exclusive brunch menu which was impressive. But don't worry, we came at 11am and they still provided a regular lunch menu of breakfast isn't your thing. I had their sausage eggs Benedict and it was a 10/10. I actually prefer sausage over ham, so I love the idea of getting this on a muffin. Their crispy potatoes were also heavenly. Service was attentive and friendly from start to finish. The kind of restaurant where they make everyone feel like a celebrity and a VIP. The drinks & food arriving to our table were well paced and honestly it was a perfect meal to kick off the weekend. Reservations are highly recommended, especially if you want to grab an early seat by the water. read more

I love Boccaccio's! The have a great location right on the shore of Westlake Lake.

Boccaccio's Restaurant - Linguini and clams - Italian Near Me - Westlake Village, California

Came her with my mom to celebrate her birthday. There is parking available both near the restaurant and further in the plaza since parking nearby tends to get full. We did make a lunch reservation just a day in advance and it was not super busy when we arrived so it's likely possible to come by without a reservation. This is located directly by the lake (bring a jacket!) and is a stunning place to eat and to take photos. Our service was quick though we had very long breaks in between seeing our server come and go. Clementine Spritz 4/5, this is their twist on an aperol spritz. My only dilemma here is I couldn't taste any major clementine-ness so it just felt like an average aperol spritz. Definitely heavy hand pour though Beef Carpaccio 4/5, this was soft and melted in our mouths. I will say we did not know this dish comes raw and had some food related issues later that may have been related to this so ,, just be aware ,,,, Grilled Lamp Chops 5/5, I got this and wow. The meat is soft and tender (I ordered medium) and the asparagus is soft and melts in your mouth. Potatoes are average. Portion wise this is on the slightly smaller side so please be aware Sesame Crusted Big Eye Ahí Tuna 5/5, my mom got this and thoroughly enjoyed. The portion sizing of this is large and we took about half home to eat as another meal Baked Alaska 3/5, okay this was our first time ever trying baked Alaska and we were not huge fans :( it's essentially Neapolitan ice cream on a pie crust (?) the good news is this was free for my mom's birthday and was just okay but I definitely would not order this Italian Cheesecake 4/5, this was made with Ricotta vs a traditional cheesecake. I was a fan of this and preferred this to the Baked Alaska but my mom who is normally a cheesecake fan didn't. I'd say cheesecake purists beware read more

Great ambience, good service and great food! Very good quality of drinks, great variety of wine!

Food is very mediocre with large portions. We ordered alcohol, chicken piccata, filet mignon, beet salad, calamari, seared ahi tuna ( we returned it), spaghetti Bolognese, French onion soup. Alllll of it was mediocre at best. Service is great! Ambiance is literally the reason why we went there especially if you have front row seat with lake view on a beautiful day. You can have a great time as long as you lower your expectations with food. read more

I agree with most of the reviews. I had not been to Boccaccio's in perhaps 30+ years by the time of our recent experience. The food was quite good but not outstanding. The location and service by Egi were outstanding. read more

I can't really recommend this place. The food was very bad. The view absolutely beautiful but you're not there for the food.

Great restaurant by the lake. Clam linguine was good, just a bit soupy for me. My husband liked the lobster bisque. Alaska dessert was good and interesting with the flame. Service was great. Came around 6pm, sunny, but cooled down around 6:30-7pm. read more

Stay for the views, drinks, and appetizers, leave for everything else! Boccaccio's is located in westlake village and is adjacent to the lake. It has spectacular views, notably at sunset when we went. We started off with some cocktails and appetizers, including the fried ravioli and burrata. Both the cocktails and appetizers were delicious! They had a lot of flavor and the drinks were well balanced and flavorful. The entrees were a bit lacking. Although the eggplant parm was okay, the chicken in the chicken Alfredo and chicken parm were both dry and hard to eat. The service was friendly but very, very slow. It took a long time to place our orders between the appetizers and entrees. Although they were very attentive when we needed something like water refills, we were still there for two hours. Overall, I do recommend this place for the atmosphere for the lake and a nice cocktail hour but would head elsewhere for the main entrees. read more

One of the best dinners I had in a long time! The atmosphere is incredible especially with the sunset and paired well with all the delicious dishes they serve! We ordered different items for a table of 6 and they were all SO good. Got the shrimp scampi and I was surprised that the shrimp was so big. Seems like the price had increased since a year ago so I'm not sure if the price is worth it. Lots of parking and it didn't take us long to find one despite it being a holiday weekend. Am only giving it a 4/5 because it took quite a bit for food to come by, service was a little slow but we came by for dinner the day before Father's Day so that might be the explanation. Will be coming back again! read more

Honestly you can go to the Four Seasons across the street for the same price and have a much better meal. Our server took forever to come at first, forgot my wine, tried to upsell us, saying the ravioli is awful, we should get the meat or branzino instead. In his defense the pasta that came with the chicken was basically Olive Garden status. Last night we had dinner at the Four Seasons and literally paid the same price for far superior food and service. What irritated me the most though was when we paid, he held the little kiosk right in front of his face so he obviously saw what I was tipping, the service barely deserved even 10% but I did 18% because that was my only lowest option. read more

Boccaccio's Restaurant - View - Italian Near Me - Westlake Village, California

So mediocre it's painful. Grimy and disheveled. Outdoor heaters are all dented and scratched, umbrellas are old, dirty and banged up. The plastic foul weather curtains were tied up haphazardly and uneven, most of the straps were broken so they used an assortment of other things to tie them up. Floor grimy, bathroom filthy. Saw one staff member do his business and walk out without washing his hands. I mention all of this because the restaurant isn't cheap and with the stuff I could see being unkempt and dirty, I got the creeps thinking about what the kitchen looked like. (I didn't get sick from it) Food tastes like it's straight out of the Cisco truck bag. No flavor. Glop salad dressing. Temu service. Very friendly, but insubstantial. This is the kind of restaurant that only survives because of location and a lack of alternatives - it was very busy which makes me wonder if the locals just have low expectations. read more
