La Finestra is one of our all time favorite local Restaurants in Tarzana CA for Italian Food. It has a comfortable dining room that is stylish and yet fully relaxed and friendly. The owners are friendly without being intrusive and will spend some time with you on a quiet evening or leave you to your own conversation. It is a good Eaterie in Tarzana CA.
The food is easy Italian with the things you envisage to find on the menu prepared with excellence which will truly surprise you. They do lunch too but I suspect only on weekdays. The few weekend afternoons we hoped to catch them for lunch they weren’t open.
The gnocci his hand made and light as a feather. I’ll promise you that irrespective of how many times you have had gnocci you have not had gnocci like this! Other favorites are the thin-crust pizza with gorgonzola & caramelized onions and the fagiloi soup nevertheless , singling out things is nearly purposeless because we haven’t had bad or mediocre food in lots of visits and get as much enjoyment from a salad that is performed carefully and great flavour as the other offerings.
The costs aren’t bad at all and you will solidly get as good or a better meal than you can get at other higher-priced restaurants in the valley.
This place is amazing! I was pushed to go in by a LivingSocial groupon deal. I had never heard about it, but was not dejected. I went with my young man, which was basically quite romantic, dimly lit without being dark. The nosh was amazing. We started with the Caesar salad which had a mouth-watering dressing– not so creamy, but tasty. We both split the Pizza Portofino ( gorgonzola and caramelized onions ), and it was heaven.
We also had the Petto di Pollo al Limone ( battered lemon chicken fried in butter and herbs ) which I am still craving more of 3 days later. They have this awesome thing where if you order a meat dish of some kind, it incorporates pasta, and you can ask for some of their specializations. The ravioli and the hand rolled gnocchi are both awe-inspiring. The owner was extremely nice, and alert, but the wait staff, although nice were incredibly slow. There is a lot in the back if you can’t find street parking. Yum!
