TRATTORIA AMICI REVIEWS

Went there with family on a bright Spring day, celebrating Easter. We walked in and grabbed an outdoor table. I guess with the beautiful weather and cool breeze, the food just tasted even better! Dishes ordered were fried calamari and different pasta. Seafood were fresh, and the pasta were extra delicious. Pasta was made "in house" were fresh and just the right chewiness. I was pleasantly surprised to receive 1/2 of a lobster to my pasta. All the sauces were delicious. Don't skip their desserts! We tasted their tiramisu and custard; both were unique and not too sweet.

The patio is great and obviously a good spot for people watching. Amaro Negroni was pretty good, unfortunately it took a while and arrived after my food despite being ordered at the same time. The pizza Prosciutto Di Parma was average. It was a very American take on it with too much shredded cheese, partly my fault for assuming they would use fresh mozzarella.

Love the ambiance! Totally worth the wait. A true gem in Glendale, definitely my favourite place in the area. Extremely delicious food, can’t wait to visit it again next time.

OLIVE GARDEN ITALIAN RESTAURANT GLENDALE REVIEWS

It was my second time ever at Olive Garden yesterday, as a tourist visiting from far away. Food was big in portion and was tasty, ambiance was cozy, but the service was excellent. Our server, Wendy, made sure that my 2 year old was comfy from start until the end of our meal there. My son doesn’t usually interact with other people so it was nice seeing him warm up to her, most probably it was because of her great service and warm approach. Thank you, Wendy.

Great location to dine in and take out. The food is always amazing at Olive Garden. I highly recommend the bread sticks and salad. Just to start off. Many of their dishes are delicious. I can't wait until I'm able to afford to enjoy a great meal here again.

Server Hannah was very kind and welcoming. Endless salad and breadsticks are nice.

SCARANTINO'S ITALIAN INN REVIEWS

First time eating here and it was a nice experience. The food was delicious and hot. Hosts,waitresses, servers, and staff were all friendly. I had chicken Parmigiano. My girlfriend had fettuccine aflredo. I eat out a lot, and most restaurant staff ignore guests, not here they were very attentive. It was packed . We waited over 30 mins for a table but was well worth it. Next time, we will make reservations. Also food was very affordable. Small parking lot in the back, but there is street parking. Also, all diners come with a free small soup and salad. Tiramisu was delicious.

Scarintino's has always been the restaurant we go to for family celebrations. Generations of families frequent this restaurant. You get great food, service and feel like you're in Italy. They have the best spumoni ice cream in town. You have to try it. Everything is good here. You get the best bread, the most delicious minestrone soup, and salad with your entree. You never leave hungry. You will definitely enjoy your dining experience. If you have a party of five plus call to make reservations ahead of time. The service is excellent.

This has been my go-to for yummy, homemade Italian food for decades. Such cute, cozy vibes inside. They also have a wonderful to-go option, which is what I did tonight for New Year’s Eve. All the entrees come with soup and salad, so it’s also pretty affordable.
