Adagio Ristorante

Best kept secrets in the West Valley. Old school traditional and authentic Italian food. Please support your local restaurant industry during difficult times!

Adagio is the kind of restaurant that's hard to find in LA. It's old-school and owns it. Frank Sinatra, if he was still around would feel at home here. (Actually, a cameo by him or his pack would have made a nice addition to the evening.) The food is top notch classical American-Italian food. It's not trying to be overly fancy, it's just trying to be good. (And it succeeds.) You can come here for a date or special occasion, or be a regular and come every week (which was clearly the case for several other patrons.) Don't skip the deserts.

I'm very glad we tried this place. Awesome service, very cool people working there. Amazing vibe inside the restaurant. And the food is authentic, delicious, cooked to perfection, and the portions are excellent sizes. Nothing too big or too little. Kudos . Keep it up! Highly recommended ! Ciao

We had a wonderful dinner while in Cali last week. Osso Bucco to die for! Used to come many times in the past. Same great service

The food is consistently delicious. We love going there on a fairly regular basis.

I've known Claudio for 25 years. This is the best restaurant in Los angeles. My 90 year old mother asked me if this is my favorite restaurant. I said yes. I live 100 miles north. If I see spaghetti on TV or in person. I say not a chance. I'll wait for Adagio.

Excellent Restaurant! A "Hidden Gem" on Ventura Blvd. True Italian cuisine. Great good & service

I went here once years ago just because it has been there forever and it was close by my house. I wasn't expecting much but I was surprised to find the food was very good at the time they did a tableside Ceasars salad that was the best Ceasar salad I've ever had. They don't do it tableside anymore but it still tastes just as good. I've been coming in more frequently and trying to taste something different every time and so far everything ive tried is great, in particular the calamari is so good, I know this is not the thing to highlight perhaps but when you find a good calamari, you need to point it out. It's light and crispy not greasy not clumpy it's just perfect and it's served with a light tomato sauce, again it's just perfect!! Their Ossobuco with risotto is sublime the seafood is always great the feel scallopini with the fontana cheese and one with lemon and caper I think there may be another one but haven't gotten there yet but all great. Their pastas are all very good deserts are all tasty, they have a fiull bar and a decent wine list . It's all around a great restaurant. If I were to pick on them the only thing I could say is the interior is a little dated, but with that said I wouldn't want it any other way. Adaghio is a local small old school Italian restaurant it's not Felix or Mozza or Bestia it's Adagio. If you are from back east this is a local little Italy place that you can be comfortable in and have an excellent meal served by a great front end staff, and cooked by a great kitchen staff. I've been a chef for 35 years I would be proud to have this restaurant as one of mine it's truly a great neighborhood gem.
