L’Italiano

Best Italian in SCV. We had amazing service and the chef even came out to meet us. I ordered the steak and it was cooked to perfection. We will be going back again real soon.

Super legitimate Italian food

We were very impressed tonight with the new L’Italiano on Cinema Drive! Can’t get more authentic then owner/chef Humberto from Bologna, Italy.

Amazing food and wonderful dining room. We had the delicious Bruschetta with Prosciutto di Parma, which chef likes to slice thick along with glasses of Amarone and Super Tuscan — superb wine choices by the glass. If we didn’t have a bread appetizer, the complimentary bread with olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar is delicious as well — kudos on using really good balsamic. For entrees, I had the Spinach Tagliatelle with Bolognese — hand made noodles and meat sauce. So good! I ate the whole thing which rarely happens. Husband had the Steak Tagliata — beef filet with balsamic vinegar, topped with arugula and Parmesan cheese. We’ve had this dish many places and this was the best! Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and as tender as USDA prime. Seriously good! For dessert, we had tiramisu — classic and delicious, which chef followed up with complimentary shots of his homemade Limoncello!

I’m so happy we now have an authentic and affordable Italian restaurant in Valencia, only 5 minutes from home. Please check it out and support wonderful Chef Humberto. Ciao! 🇮🇹
