Must try the pizzas, especially the one with hot honey. Good for sharing. The octopus was delicious, cooked so well it was tender and flavorful over a bed of forbidden rice. My main course was the short rib ravioli with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and it was really good and very feeling. overall enjoyed my meal, but I will say that there was six of us and the table was a bit snug as they placed us in a half rounded table and added two seats. Love the vibe of the restaurant very clean aesthetic.

Extensive menu with so much variety including lots of delicious finds for all. Team green falafel all the way!! Their vegan pizza pie with caramelized onion, mixed green, roasted garlic and so many yummy flavors is a win as well! The tofu scramble and salatim make brunch the best. And let's not forget about that vegan double chocolate cake :) Enjoy the full dine in experience as well as delivery or pickup - Bacari does it all yall. Incredible cocktails as well as mocktails, inclusive wine, beer and non-alcohol beverages which include classic like juice, cold brew, other coffee like favs and teas. Super gluten free friendly, vegetarian friendly and vegan friendly across the board. Indoor cozy seating as well as intimate stylish patio seating that's beyond dreamy when the weather is nice. It's casual, trendy, and enchanting all at once. Service is typically pretty great. ADA entrance, restrooms and paths. Parking is valet or local street and lot, typically meter or flat rate. During the week they're only open for dinner at 4:30PM until 10:30 PM which makes a weekday lunch craving unfortunate. Friday through Sunday is a different story as the AM to PM is abundant, with a small gap between 230PM til 4PM where they close on Saturday and Sunday only for the change over. Large parties should absolutely make reservation in advanced as this is a very popular and frequently busy location. Bottomless mimosas are available (for a 90 minute time window during you meal)!!

What a crazy number of days, weeks, months we've spent without enjoying the good food and friendly service at this comfy, homestyle Italian eatery with a full bar and even fuller menu of properly prepared, seriously tasty dishes. The room is cheery and bright, while remaining welcoming. Not a sign of anything corporate here -- just homespun hospitality and good vibes from start to finish. Our server, Chris, was attentive and most accommodating, explaining various options to us newbies, and making my wife an offer she couldn't refuse: she was trying to decide between Chicken Parm and Cacio E Pepe, so Chris offered to swap the plain pasta side of the parm with Cacio E Pepe, giving her both dishes in one. Sold. You pretty much never see that kind of thing happening nowadays. And it was a great thing, to be sure. The generous portion of chicken was lightly fried and topped with an equally light tomato sauce that complimented the chicken and cheese rather than overwhelming them. The flavor and texture were spot on, and the robust Cacio E Pepe made for a very nice pairing. Me? I ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, once Chris assured me it was made the traditional way rather than doused in cream as so many places now do. And indeed, the spaghetti was textbook al dente, dressed with with egg yolk and cheese that combined into a richly satisfying sauce. The pancetta brought a touch of salt and plenty of smoky accents, making this about as top notch a version of this dish as you're likely to find in the Valley. Cannoli were sweet and rich; a wonderful palate cleanser at the end of our meal. A Pepperoni Pizza taken to go for our kids at home looked absolutely first rate. Did I mention my martini? Properly made, cool and crisp, and only $15. Quite the bargain for this side of town. Yes, Trattoria Del Sole came as a surprise, but it should be no surprise to anyone reading this that we'll be making this our regular haunt from now-on. I think you should, too.

My son and I have been talking about trying this place for about 2 weeks now and we finally came in…read morefor dinner tonight. We parked in one of their 3 parking spots in the back and entered through the rear entrance. We were greeted by Aya who mentioned they were having some plumbing problems so we needed to sit in the front section of the restaurant. The place is pretty small and compact, with about 10 tables. It's family owned and been around for 25 years. The prices are pretty affordable for the portion sizes. Not much ambiance or decorations, but there was some nice Italian music playing overhead and some Christmas decorations that are apparently hung up year-round. Both Thomas and Aya waited on us and they were both pleasant and kind with nice smiles. Thomas quickly brought out some waters along with their complimentary focaccia that came with olive tapenade. The bread tasted old and stale and wasn't warm, but I liked the tapenade. Surprisingly, we were never asked if we wanted anything else to drink and also never got refills on our waters until I had to ask for one. I ordered the Italian salad with dressing on the side and I asked if the carrots that came in the salad were cooked or raw, since I don't like raw carrots. Aya happily suggested that they can cook me some carrots separately and bring them on the side, which is what they did. Even though the carrots were not really cooked that well, the gesture was still greatly appreciated. Other than that, all the ingredients were very fresh and the dressing was LIGHT, just how I like it. For our entrèes, I got the Pollo Della Cassa which came with chicken breast and mushrooms baked with mozzarella cheese, served on pasta with Alfredo sauce. ($24.95), with an add-on of shrimp (+$3.00 for 3 shrimps). I also asked for light sauce, not too soupy, and that's exactly how it was prepared. The food was piping hot, very fresh, and delicious. My son ordered the Pollo Limone ($24.95) that came with grilled chicken breast with lemon sauce on mushroom risotto. He was not the biggest fan of his food but still ate all of it. He also asked if he could get a side of veggies and they gladly brought out a medley of sautéed broccoli, zucchini, and carrots. We were not charged for the side of veggies and also the salad, which was very generous of them. To end the meal, you get a small complimentary square of Tiramisu which is a nice little treat. The customer service is truly the best part of this restaurant and you can tell that there is a lot of love involved here. They really care about their guests and want you to feel happy and satisfied. Due to some minor ticks here and there, I think I am going to stick with 4 stars overall. The restaurant was clean but just kind of unpleasant. You could also smell the bleach right when you walk in and sometimes the smell would waft through the air. It was also really hot in the restaurant and I don't think the A/C was working. They have one bathroom for each gender and they were very clean. I also asked for some change to leave cash for the tip, but Thomas told me they didn't have any cash in the restaurant. How can that be? Thank you Spumoni, Aya, Thomas, and the chefs. Will I return? Maybe, maybe not.

We got there exactly at 12 noon on the 7th of this month and noticed the restaurant was closed. Locked with a notice on the door. The envelope was sealed and had a confidential message written on the envelope. We got close to the door to see if we could gather other type of information, but we couldn't. No other signs were posted on the door/window. We even called them twice and left them a message since nobody answered the phone, left another message and nobody has called us back since then. We really wanted to try their delicious food from their extensive menu options. Unfortunately, we were not able to. Maybe they went out of business? Sold the restaurant? Who knows? They also have the business hours wrong. Online, it says open between 11:30 to 2pm, closed and reopen from 4pm to 9pm. The message on the phone states that they are only open from 5 to 9pm. My friend came all the way from Tarzana for us to have lunch together and it never happened. We went next door to have lunch, and the same thing with that restaurant. That's coming up next.. Stay tuned! This truly is a 5 star establishment. The reason that I gave 2 stars is because I have been there twice in the past and liked everything about this place from ambiance, to service and their DELICIOUS food.

It had a distinctly European flavor and was a great way to start the meal. We shared the Caesar salad, which I really enjoyed, especially the addition of the fried capers. Such a great touch! The croutons weren't quite as crispy as I would have liked, but they were still flavorful and the salad overall was excellent. Then, of course, the pizzas. We ordered the Margherita, which was 50% off for Happy Hour, and the Pepperoni. Both were fantastic. Great cheese pull, light and airy dough, and so much flavor without feeling heavy. Between the warm hospitality, great pizza, and Happy Hour deal, this was a terrific first visit.

The decor on the main entrance was absolutely gorgeous with the red carpet rolled out. The restaurant appeared clean. The wait staff were dressed very professionally. The complimentary bread came out hot. The bread was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Got the Calamari Fritti, Burrata Caprese, Penne Arrabiata and Ravioli de Spinaci e Ricotta, Filetto di Bue, and Cannoli. The Calamari Fritti was absolutely amazing, full of flavor without being saturated in oil. Really liked that they put a cover over the lemon to prevent the seeds from falling onto the calamari. The Burrata Caprese was light and everything on the plate went well together. The Penne Arrabiata and Ravioli de Spinaci e Ricotta was alright. Didn't shine compared to the other dishes, but the sauce was delicious. The Filetto di Bue was very flavorful with the red wine sauce really coming through. The Cannoli was absolutely perfect with the crust crispy and the cream complimenting the crust really well. The waiters were very professional and tried their best not to bother us, but were very active in refilling our drinks. Had a great time here. Would definitely return if given the opportunity.

A small group of older women next to us were talking loudly - but they weren't even being THAT loud they were just laughing and having fun - and the sound dominated the entire room. Like, either make people quiet down an accept the acoustics of the room you have or seat people according to the loudness factor they request. We were a party of six and my friend sitting across from me couldn't hear me. My poor dad with hearing aids was at a total loss. We cut the dinner early, it was really tough.

That combination was interesting enough to make me turn around, park the car, and walk over. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you don't plan. I was lucky enough to find street parking, but considering they are located in a relatively small shopping center on one of the busiest stretches of Ventura, they have wisely arranged valet parking as well. As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed by a gentleman who I assume was either the manager or the owner. They didn't really have a table set up for one, but instead of turning me away, they were kind enough to make it happen. That was a great first impression. The restaurant itself is extremely clean, smells nice, and is beautifully designed with artwork throughout. It has a comfortable, slightly modern atmosphere with tall ceilings that makes you want to sit down, relax, and actually enjoy your dinner instead of rushing through it. I ordered a bottle of sparkling water, the beef soup, pork chops, and pickles on the side. Everything was good--except the pickles, which just weren't for me--but the star of the meal was definitely the beef soup. The soup was excellent. Well made, well seasoned, just a tiny bit spicy, and the portion was generous enough that I would honestly say two people could share it. After a long day, it was exactly the kind of food I needed. The pork chops were also prepared well, although they weren't completely to my personal taste. I was expecting a little more seasoning or spice. That said, I'm not Hungarian, so there is a very good possibility that they prepared them exactly the way they are supposed to be made back home--and I'm the one asking Hungary to change its recipe for me. For everything I ordered, plus the quality of the service, my bill came to about $68 as of September 2026. Considering the amount of food I received, I thought that was very reasonable. I'll definitely be back. There are quite a few other things on the menu I want to try, and next time I'd like to come when I'm not at the end of a very long day, take my time, order something different, and possibly enjoy it with a good glass of wine.
