How do I begin to share the story of our absolutely perfect 25th wedding anniversary? By starting with the HIGHLIGHT of our evening: Dinner at Prosecco Trattoria! From my first call to restaurateur Eric to make a reservation earlier in the week, the experience was as warm and personable as can be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Within minutes of our arrival, we were greeted by co-restaurateur Antonio, and we instantly felt like family at the beautiful, private table they had thoughtfully reserved for us by the window.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our wonderful server, Jessica, made the night even brighter. We started with some Peach Puree Bellini Prosecco that was crisp, refreshing, and beyond amazing. The food arrived with impressive speed, but the quality was truly second to none. My wife absolutely loved the special of the night--a Tiger Shrimp and Asparagus Linguini--and my Angus Beef Bolognese with savory short rib ragu was easily the best I've ever had. Antonio and Jessica checked on us frequently, chatting about the day and the amazing history of the restaurant. This was NOT just a night out at a "restaurant." This was quite literally getting together with family and having the time of our lives. Prosecco Trattoria is not "just another place to eat"--it is now our favorite home away from home for artfully prepared food and drinks. To Eric, Antonio, and Jessica: thank you for welcoming us into your family for such a special milestone! read more

Prosecco Trattoria - Italian Near Me - Toluca Lake, California

Absolutely amazing, from the service to the ambiance to the food. The servers were really nice and welcoming! I loved the lamb chops and the salad they were phenomenal! Highly recommend read more

If it were possible, this establishment deserves 6 stars! Went to a charming real estate open house, up the street around dusk. The hubby wanted to eat out Italian for a cozy Sunday, holiday evening. And have never ventured here in Toluca Lake; and what an elegant, delight! Jessica was our server. She made our experience delectable, truly! Noticed every detail, and with warm humor. She recommended my husband read the desert menu aloud, for the romance of it all. And it works and that's true! Hehe I ordered the 4-cheese Ravioli in tomatoe sauce, and it's unlike any I've EVER had. It's about 5 inches in diameter, round+ mostly flat, and not too salty. Absolutely delicious! Jessica offered to sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, the service! Unmatched. The Italian seasoning added to the tomatoe sauce, makes it sweeter, aromatic. If you're familiar with my reviews, I'm always searching for vegetarian options. For desert we had the Panna Cotta with wild berries. Excellent, yummy! And we kept it cozy, with mint hot tea. Which is always a go-to around the Xmas holidays. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is northern Italian elegance: hand painted art, crystal chandeliers, and white linens abound.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Reminds me of when we hiked the hills of Tuscany. With the holiday touch of twinkle lights and fresh winter floral bouquets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seems most locals frequent here: Are known by name, and had the front door held open for them if elderly. What sweet, kindness and local vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll be back, to try perhaps the chicken the hubby says. :) Thank you all for an exceptional, romantic Sunday night dinner with my Hubby, during the holidays. read more

Really great experience here! We were warmly welcomed when we came in and all the servers and manager were really nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor definitely makes you feel like you're in Italy or it's least in an Italian home. Really cozy and calming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was really good. I had a ravioli special that they had for the night and the sauce was delicious. The grilled ciabatta I could've eaten all night and the crab cakes as well. Will definitely be back read more

In short, a RARE find. What stands out about Prosecco Trattoria is the family feel along with the food. In a blink and you'll miss it on Riverside Ave, near WB Studios, I can only describe my visit to Prosecco memorable for all the right reasons. The first thing that stood out was Eric and his staff. Which I must applaud. While walking towards the restaurant, I encountered Eric and by the smile on his face when he opened to the door and when he led me to my table I felt the incredible warmth from him and his staff. My friend and I never had an issue getting beverages or asking questions if we needed help figuring out food options. So cheers to him and his staff, they really deserve their flowers. The restaurant makes me feel like it own little cozy cottage vibe. A warm family atmosphere, casual, yet upscale. I would consider this somewhere to take someone out for a casual date. Rule of thumb, always ask places like this for their specials as they never disappoint. Though we strictly chose off of the menu, the specials are worth coming back for. I had the short rib Pene pasta, Garlic Bruschetta, and Soup. The pasta was perfect al dente with savory short rib which was effortless in its ability to pull apart and tender to taste. A perfect complement was the Soup which was creamy and savory. The Bruschetta was delicious as well with the perfect amount of garlic. Overall a great experience paired well with my Cab for the evening. I recommend reserving a table to a small get together! Word of warning, however, parking is tough. I got a parking ticket because I read the sign wrong. So please read the signs and enjoy!! read more

I had an extremely welcoming and unusually pleasant surprise awaiting for me today when I arrived here. Unbeknownst to me, my lactaid lay at home. Blissfully unaware of the frustration is was causing oh so far away. After I had let my gracious server Emily know this disaster (as i had already ordered, and I was quite gracious with my lactose indulgence.) she made the easiest changes and my new order was ready to be made. That was, until Emily came back. Not with my order, but with a statement and a question. The statement was as follows: our chef Alfonzo is also lactose intolerant. A more than interesting enough statement if taken on its own, but when presented with the question Emily had for me, I was nearly speechless. She asked if I would like take a lactaid from Alfonzo (the previously mentioned other lactose sufferer). The answer was a beaming yes. We ate, we laughed, we sang and we even danced our way to the car. All in all, an incredibly thoughtful experience I will not soon forget. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice lighting as well. Very chill[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Prosecco Trattoria - Italian Near Me - Toluca Lake, California

If you live or work in Toluca Lake and haven't visited this authentic Italian restaurant, it's time to course-correct your life decisions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Celebrating 30 years, the place is cozy enough to make you feel like you've wandered into someone's home--if that home conveniently had a professional chef and unlimited olive oil.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend, a carbonara skeptic, worried her dish would resemble scrambled eggs in disguise, while I braced myself for cod that could double as fish jerky. To our delight, both dishes were absolute perfection--silky, tender, and cooked with the kind of precision that suggests their kitchen staff may actually be culinary wizards. The real showstopper, though, was the Panettone bread pudding. Light, not too sweet, and paired brilliantly with cinnamon gelato and berries, it was a dessert worth planning your next visit around. In short: go. Eat. Enjoy. You'll leave happier than you arrived. read more

It was delicious ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful and very clean and homey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Recommend to everyone. Thank you

Prosecco is an appealing Trattoria located on Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake. I made reservations through their website using OpenTable. We were a couple of minutes late and were promptly seated upon arrival. Antonio was the waiter for the evening and was very thorough telling us the specials. He and the staff were very attentive to make sure we had a great experience. We ordered the Manila Clams Bay Scallops Linguini with Pancetta, Mary's Free Range Chicken Marsala with Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli, and Cauliflower, and the Grayson Merlot. All was hot, fresh, and delicious. read more

What a lovely restaurant! My friend took me here last night for the first time and I will definitely be back. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. We started with a bruschetta that was excellent. The tomatoes were fresh and plentiful, and the bread was toasted perfectly. I had a linguine with clams and scallops, she had a Bolognese and both of us were very pleased with our choices. For dessert, we chose the decadent espresso brownie, and couldn't finish it, even though we wanted to because we were so full. I will definitely be back. read more

The service here is great, I had never before in my life have a waiter put the napkin on my lap for me. The reason for such a high rating is the service alone. I had the ravioli, corn chowder, and tiramisu. The chowder was definitely great, as much as a chowder can be. But the ravioli was super mediocre, I forced myself to finish it. Now the tiramisu, I have been on the hunt to one like the one I had in Rome and people on reddit recommended this place. The tiramisu was incredibly average. Their cream was basically just heavy cream, the landyfingers were store bought and there was an extremely light dusting of cocoa. 5/10 for tiramisu, 8/10 chowder, 6/10 ravioli, 10/10 service, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]10/10 ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We stumbled in here by chance after our original destination was too loud. And boy what a happy surprise. Everything was sooooo good! My wife usually doesn't like Italian food but this might be the exception. Our drink choices were perfect, my wife had some red wine and I had the French Sauv Blanc, which was light and crisp. We started with appetizers - the bruschetta, which was delicious and fresh. They served the tomatoes and the toast separately so it didn't get soggy. I also had two of their daily specials - the crabcakes and a brown butter mushroom ravioli dish, which were divine. Our waitress, Emily, was amazing, super friendly and gave us a little sample Gorgonzola barolo wine sauce with some toast and oh my goodness - my wife had to take a picture of my face because I was so happy. The only complaint we had was we were so full we didn't have room for the Espresso Brownie for dessert. I guess we have a reason to come back soon! read more

Really good food! First time here and we were not disappointed. Had the crab cakes appetizer and enjoyed serviced warm with a aioli topping. I had the lamb chops with broccoli and cauliflower also roasted potatoes. The lamb was delicious but the veggies for me weee a little boring. My wife had the Manila clams mini scallops with linguine cooked in a masala white wine sauce. Really tasty. A glass of Pinot Grigio and an Italian red washed it all down perfectly. read more

I've been to Prosecco a half dozen times now and always enjoyed it. The people were welcoming and the food is good. But on my last visit a busboy waited until I went to the bathroom and said something incredibly insulting to my date that really hurt her. I won't be going back, but I encourage the management to make it clear to their staff that sort of behavior is unacceptable. read more

It has been a while since I visited this restaurant and I can say it just gets better with time. We were greeted like old friends returning. The staff were very attentive and made sure we felt welcome. We started with watermelon caprese and crab cakes. Both of which were great! Then for our mains my guest had the four cheese ravioli and I ordered the Sweet Italian Sausage and Portabello Mushrooms. She raved about the ravioli saying it was the best she had ever had. I just returning from Rome could only say I felt I was back in small side street again. The Sweet Italian Sausage and Portabello Mushrooms had a sauce that was out of this world. The flavor was so delicious that I couldn't put my fork down for a moment. Then we decided to split a Prosecco Bread Pudding for dessert. Unbelievable!! So sweet but not too sweet and the texture was perfect. It was paired with a cinnamon gelato that was perfect with the bread pudding. I can say that it will not be so long for my return. If you want a great meal with great service then this is the place. read more

Recently I returned to Prosecco after having been extremely impressed on my 1st visit about a year ago. This 2nd time around, my experience was virtually flawless - the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was completely on-point, and the food was first-tier! Tip: The venue looks cozy and small from the outside, but once you enter you'll find it to be medium-sized and beautifully decorated :-) On the most recent visit, we ordered several different dishes and shared everything family style. We began the meal with their version of a Caesar salad, which proved to be the perfect beginning to our outstanding dining experience. We continued with the Lobster Rosotto (simple, yet amazily delicious!). Our main was the Black Angus tenderloin medallions with Gorgonzola red wine sauce. The dish was melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfectly prepared :-) We finished that incredibly exceptional meal with no room left for dessert. I guess that just means we're going to have to make a point of coming back - I'm very much looking forward to returning in the not-too-distant future. When that happens, I make a point of saving room for dessert! read more

Delicious pasta, rich sauces, and warm hospitality made this Italian restaurant a memorable and satisfying dining experience.

My bestie and I have a rotation of restaurants and bars we like to meet up at, but for the first time in a while, we decided to try someplace new. Best decision ever! Prosecco Trattoria is an absolute gem, and one of the finest Italian restaurants I've been to. The restaurant has an elegant interior design with classy decor comprised of chandeliers, cream-colored walls, renaissance crown molding, and stunning antique artwork and murals adorning the walls. Service was outstanding. We were greeted with smiles, and the various staff we interacted with were all friendly and attentive. Despite feeling somewhat out of place when I first entered the upscale-looking restaurant (I was in jeans and a t-shirt due to running errands all day), I was put at ease by the staff's warm welcome. As for the food, Prosecco Trattoria serves up delicious high-quality Italian cuisine. They have a variety of pastas and entrees to choose from, so much so that I had a difficult time deciding. I ultimately went with the chicken artichoke fusilli pasta, which was like an elevated version of aglio e olio, with chicken, artichoke hearts, and sundried tomatoes in addition to the garlic, olive oil, and spinach. The dish was squisito! Just writing about it is making me crave it again. Haha. We also tried the bread pudding and Panna cotta for dessert, and both confections were rich and sumptuous. All in all, I had a fabulous time here at Prosecco Trattoria, and I can't wait to return! read more

A hidden gem in Toluca Lake. Intimate, upscale-yet-homey ambiance. Stellar service. We had steaks, the Angus sirloin with herbed chardonnay sauce and the tenderloin medallions with gorgonzola red wine sauce. The tenderloins were delectable, perfectly cooked and topped liberally with the delicious sauce. Both steaks were perfectly complemented by simple broccoli and cauliflower and extraordinary garlic mashed potatoes. Prosecco Trattoria is the perfect spot to enjoy a quality dinner experience for a date night or special occasion. We can't wait to come back to try their pastas. read more

I'm not sure why, but my overall experience here yesterday just seemed better than what I remember of my last visit here back in 2014 ... so here's that 5 star! :D The food hit the spot, and all staff members (including the gentleman who appeared to be the manager at the front desk) who we interacted with were exceptionally friendly. The restaurant's interior ambiance and decor are still dim and classy. Parking availability in the area is still problematic (we were lucky to find a spot on Talofa Ave). read more

I have to start by saying we loved the service. While our server was great, it was the whole staff that really caught my attention. We had a later reservation which only gave us an hour to eat dinner and catch up (I was visiting from out of town). Even after they were closed, there were a few parties, aside from us, who still hung around. I kept an eye out so that we made sure to leave when everyone else did. Not once did the staff make us feel like we needed to get out, they weren't rude or anything about us staying over a bit. They did what they needed to prep to close for the night but were respectful to the parties straggling behind. It was much appreciated! The food was good and we practically cleaned our plates. I loved that a good number of their dishes are beef which allows me try them since there's no pork. The sauces are well seasoned and perfect for dipping. The panacotta, chefs kiss! I almost licked the plate! read more

I traveled a considerable distance to dine at Prosecco Trattoria, having heard positive things. Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing. Upon arrival, the host informed us that all available tables were reserved, he sat us next to the restroom. Having travelled a distance i wanted better sitting. Upon checking online reservation availability, and the discrepancy was notable. This led me to believe that we were not being offered seating based on factors other than reservation status. It was a very uncomfortable and disheartening experience. Noting that our country is highly divided and it was clear our presence was not welcomed at this location. As it is a huge population of our white friends. The contrast with my subsequent dining experience at Morton's Steak House, where I was treated with respect and professionalism, was amazing. Given my experience, I cannot recommend Prosecco Trattoria. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere, I suggest exploring other options. Where ethnicity is not a factor. read more

Prosecco Trattoria has been on my list of restaurants to try for quite a while. A Toluca Lake neighborhood favorite located right on Riverside, I walk past this place all the time. It always seems to be doing well, with most of the tables occupied. I don't know why it took me so long to actually dine here, but I'm happy I finally got the opportunity to. It did not disappoint. To eat, I ordered the "Sweet Italian sausage and porcini mushrooms: tarragon cream, farfalle" ($24). The pictures of this dish (that I saw on Yelp) were too tempting to pass up. Service was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The decor and ambience were on point. The food itself definitely lived up to the hype. While I'm not a huge fan of sausage, the pasta was delicious. I see why so many people speak so highly of this restaurant. read more

My friend and I tried this place for the first time the other evening. We came in around 8:10 expecting to eat and catch up and leave. What we had was a far more extensive and unexpected culinary experience. Even though the restaurant closed at 9pm, they were still so kind and accommodating when we hadn't quite finished everything in time. It was partially their fault because they made some excellent recommendations and we ended up ordering quite a bit of food and had a feast! We started with some crab cakes and a Caesar salad, my friend ordered a mushroom pasta which was a delicious and I order a chicken risotto which was good but just not my preference I think. However, I will return and I'm absolutely ordering that mushroom pasta and diving in. We also order bread and the tiramisu and truffles. Between the incredibly attentive and kind staff, the ambience and the great food, it was a full on experience that we will not soon forget and so glad to have had. We will be back-they have earned regulars for sure. We were also happy to see a great small business thriving in today's world and even happier to learn they are celebrating their (I believe) 20th year in business!! Thank you to everyone at Prosecco and to all of you looking for a beautiful, atmospheric trattoria in the area, check them out! read more
