Best Italian Restaurants in Granada Hills

Casalena consistently delivers, each and every time! I’ve been here countless times and have never had anything less than an outstanding experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted and welcomed like a VIP. Between the exquisite food, chic and trendy ambiance, and exceptional service, they truly understand the meaning of the WOW factor! I didn’t take pictures of the food/drinks, but I promise you can never go wrong with anything you order. If you’re looking for a 5+ star, Michelin-worthy dining experience, this is definitely the place to go! They also feature live jazz in the dining area on Mondays and Tuesdays. I’ve visited on both evenings, and while I absolutely enjoyed the jazz band, I did find the volume a bit too loud, making it difficult to carry on a conversation. So, if you enjoy a lively atmosphere and don’t mind the volume, you’ll love it! My favorite part of the restaurant, hands down, is the gorgeous covered patio. It has a beautiful garden setting and a stunning full-service bar that make it such a special place to dine. ICasalena is easily one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in the Los Angeles area. And best of all, you can enjoy an upscale dining experience without having to make the trek to the DTLA Arts District. Absolutely love this place and will keep coming back again and again!

I really enjoyed the honey nut squash cavatelli! So good.

My daughter and I had a special evening last night. Cal was our servor and she could not have been MORE knowedgable, kind, funny, respectful. She was perfect and made the evening even better than we imagined. The food she suggested was outstanding. The wine was great and the ambience in the bar area was so charming we felt like we were in Italy, which my daughter lives in part time! Can't wait to return again soon!

The service was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. A cute neighborhood gem.

Everyone at this location is very nice. You guys obviously hire well.
