When I first entered I noticed a table that looked full of uneaten food but no one sitting there. It was a bit bizarre and I think it might be to show you some of the food on offer. See photo. I ordered the Italian beef wet sandwich with peppers. It was made fresh and was tasty. Recommend if you are in the area. Good place to stop if you are hiking and one of the open spaces.

I've been wanting to stop by here, as lots of good things are being said about the food. The…read morefirst thing I noticed is that there really isnt any signage for this place. When I opened the door to what I thought was the restaurant, I wasn't sure until I looked around inside. Now that I found the place, on to the food! Combo Sandwich Best of both worlds, Italian sausage topped with Italian beef. I added hot peppers to mine and this was one amazing sandwich! The flavor from the sausage and the beef combined, and individually, was awesome. I loved every bite of it and can't say enough about the flavors. The bread was hearty enough to hold it all, yet still soft and chewy. I really liked that. Chili Cheese Fries When these arrived at my table, they weren't presented how I was expecting them. I'm used to chili cheese fries served with the chili and cheese on top of the fries. No utensils were served with these, so I ate them as I thought they were intended...as a dipping dish... The fries.. well, I wouldn't go out of my way to get them.. They were served somewhat lukewarm, borderline cold. Shoestring fries that were very limp and not crisp. Now, to the best part of this item. The chili. The chili tasted outstanding! I really loved the flavor and it had a nice meaty consistency. The cheese sauce was unique and was really good as well. This wasn't your typical nacho cheese sauce. It had a different, slightly elevated, flavor profile that I couldn't place. Overall, some really good food here sans the fries. Great beef, sausage and chili. I would definitely come back for some more of the deliciousness!

Great way to cap off a day along the Ventura County coast! I haven't been to Ottavio's since they…read morehad a location in Thousand Oaks in the 80s. Man! That was a HH the likes of which will never be seen again. But I digress...TODAY is today! Great, private parking lot with easy in/out. We came in for a lovely dinner and got just that. Seated immediately and in a comfy booth along the wall, perfect for people watching. SO. MANY. PEOPLE! I wasn't expecting a restaurant to be so full on a Tuesday night, but when you're as good as Ottavio's you develop a loyal following of locals who enjoy their time here. Many celebrations were obviously being had in just our little portion of the restaurant. There are multiple rooms, accommodating various sized parties, and the hot, delicious Italian faire just kept coming. Fresh, warm bread was delivered with our water and we dove into that doughy deliciousness strait away. Hubs went with a 50/50 plate of spaghetti and cheese ravioli with a meat sauce and added meatballs. I snuck a bite of the meatballs and they were very good, as was the sauce. I opted for the Tortellini Silvana, which was described as cheese tortellini w/sauteed chicken, fresh spinach, basil and sun dried tomato cream sauce. It was FABulous! Light and delicate sauce with full flavor. A generous portion, I took about 1/2 home! Our entrees each came with a choice of soup or salad. Hubs chose Italian Wedding and I went with Minestrone. (Side note: I knew well and good I would be having 2 soups, so I wanted to try both. ;-D) Both were made from scratch and delicious! I was impressed with how fluid the staff worked along side one another. Drinks then food then boxing and the check and - voila! - table turned and on to the next group, all while maintaining a welcoming and pleasurable attitude and friendly service. We are sure to have another meal here, next time we're craving old school Italian, homemade, handed down family recipes in Camarillo. Cheers! "CC"

A deli affiliated with an Italian restaurant sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, the food I…read moregot from this place was not up to par--but, as an Italian foodie, I do have high expectations. I had the classic Italian sandwich and a side of potato salad. My main complaint is that the meats are not imported, which is something I expect from an Italian deli. The potato salad tasted like something you'd get already prepared at the grocery store. I ate a couple of bites of the potato salad and less than 1/4 of the sandwich. They were not tasty and resulted in a migraine. The customer service also left something to be desired. I ordered online and when I arrived to pick up my food, the man behind the counter was turned away, bent over his phone. He never looked up or turned around. I was eventually met by a young woman who came out of the back and handed me my bag of food, which was sitting right there. She was friendly and pointed out where I could find utensils. I want to emphasize that nowhere was it advertised that the meats were imported or uncured, so it was my error for expecting a higher quality. I think customers should be aware so they don't make the same mistake that I did. I won't go here again, but it might be okay for you. Fortunately, there are other delis in the area that offer delicious sandwiches that use imported and uncured meats.

From the moment you walk in, it feels cozy and welcoming, and I especially appreciate that there are ZERO TV screens and if there is music its not cranked up so loud you have to shout to talk. It creates a space where you can actually connect with the people you're dining with instead of being distracted. I work in marketing and once started a blog dedicated to restaurants that prioritized connection over constant noise and screens -- and let me tell you, they were hard to find. This place truly gets it. The service staff is always pleasant and kind, and you can tell they've been trained by someone who genuinely cares about both the team and the customer experience. It makes every visit feel thoughtful and intentional.

Every dish felt thoughtful and elevated without losing that comforting, soulful quality you want from Italian cuisine. The pasta was perfectly cooked (truly al dente in the best way), the flavors were layered and rich, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. Even the simplest dishes felt memorable. Service was just as impressive--attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. You get the sense that everyone there really cares about the experience they're creating. This is the kind of place you go to linger--order another glass of wine, share a dessert, and not feel rushed for a second. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. I'll absolutely be back.

Mother's Day Was Ruined. And I Need the Owner to Know…read more Let me tell you something. I've worked in five-diamond restaurants. I've worked Applebee's got the pin to prove it. Fried chicken spots. Everything in between. So when I tell you what happened here, know that I'm not some customer who doesn't understand how restaurants work. I know exactly how they work. My best friend lives in Camarillo and honey, he has been raving about this place for months. Every time someone comes to visit, he brings them here. He made our Mother's Day reservations well in advance. Our party of six. This man has easily dropped thousands of dollars in this restaurant. He loves this place. Loved. We arrived early. Server was ok. Seated us at 11, full house, two-hour window we understood the assignment. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Everything came out hot and fast. We're laughing, talking, having the best time and then I look down at my plate. There is a bug. Crawling. Through my eggs. My son grabbed his phone and got the picture. My husband God bless him, shot up to find a manager because that's what you do. That's what any reasonable person does. He found her. Her name is Cheryl. And Cheryl said... "You should've taken it up with the server." Strike one. Then she walks over to our table with an attitude and before I can even hand her my plate, she looks at me and says, "How do you want your eggs?" Like I'm supposed to take the same food back. The food with the bug in it. I was stunned. Not just by the question by the energy. It was off putting. She was annoyed. Like somehow WE were the problem. My kids were horrified. My best friend, the man who loves this restaurant was completely embarrassed. I asked to look at the menu. I wanted something different. Reasonable, right? We waited. The server came back, completely in the dark, said something like "I guess something was wrong with your food?" Sweet kid. Felt terrible when we filled him in. I said I'd just take a burger. He said of course they'd remove the chicken and waffles. THEN he came back. "We're going to have to charge you for the burger." WTH, I thought he had lost his entire mind. He disappeared again, came back, apologized I believe he genuinely felt bad. This has happened before when I have been a server and a manager is more than happy to offer you another dish and take off the other one. But Cheryl? The manager? Never came back. NOT once. Instead, she made her rounds to every single table AROUND us. Laughing. Greeting people. Interacting with guests. For 15 to 20 minutes, we sat there and watched her deliberately avoid our table. And that's when it hit me the thing I didn't want to think. I looked around. Really looked around. And we were the only ones. WELL, I was the only one who was African American woman. Me and my kids. My bestie and my hubby are of European descent. I don't SAY that lightly. Honestly? It makes me sick to even say it. But I couldn't find another explanation. Neither could my friend, who sat straight up in his chair and saw it too up close and personal. He was angry. I had to calm everyone down and say this wasn't worth it. I canceled the burger. We left. It was the worst Mother's Day I have ever had in my life. I have never been treated like this before. It's 2026. People have diverse families. What happened?! To the owner -- I'm hoping you're not her, and I'm hoping you read this. Your friend lost a loyal customer who brought everyone he knew through your doors. You lost our table, our money, and our trust the moment Cheryl decided we didn't matter. The moment she decided that she couldn't be bothered. I travel all around the world speaking, training and I have never been treated to poorly. I called hoping to speak to the OWNER. Cheryl called me back. Are you for real? She HAD a chance to make it right. But clearly she didn't care. She had every opportunity to make it right. She chose not to.
