Too many other great pizza places in Simi to bother with this one. Last time I went , waitress had a cold and actually took a piece of pepperoni off my cooked pizza that was sitting in the kitchen ready to be brought out and ate it.Kitchen door was opened and I saw the whole thing happen. I have never been back . I know things like this goes on, but when you see it...Surprised this place is still in business.

Olivio's Trattoria

Reviewed By 2butterfly

Found this place on a list of restaurants recommended by the Marriott Courtyard and it was convenient to the hotel, being only a short drive away. Glad we had reservations as it was full on a Sunday evening and the restaurant is small with both inside and patio seating with heaters. We had to wait a little for service, but they served us complimentary cappuccinos at the end of our meal to compensate. The food was wonderful. I had the linguine with clams with lots of clams. My husband had a sausage pasta dish which was great and too much for him to finish (that never happens). The soup was a large bowl, not just a cup. The staff was friendly and I would highly recommend this little trattoria only a short drive from the Reagan Library.

Met family there for dinner again, nice place to visit and let the grand kids play while waiting for our pizza. Got the Meatinator that had a lot of meat and was very good. Love their salad bar lots of fresh things to choose from. Will be back and that's for sure.

Viva La Pasta

Reviewed By Robert B

If your criteria is quantity, go here. If it is quality, well, depends on the dish. Our pasta lovers were in orbit, us meat eaters, not so much. Fresh and good cuts, unimaginitive and bland. Chicken dish was overcooked. Waiter was not so great, tried hard but might have been new-almost clueless. PLace was jammed-looked like many regulars. Go back? in a pinch.

Barton's Steak & Seafood

Reviewed By DavidS050

Was in Simi Valley for tour of Reagan Library and this place was on the list of recommended restaurants from our hotel. Looking for a good steak and this place did not disappoint. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive, and my prime rib was very good. My associate had the steak salad which he stated was excellent. Would definitely return here if I ever get back to this area.

Betos

Reviewed By Robert G

We went with another couple who are regular customers and enjoy coming here for an authentic Italian dinner. We just beat the crowd and were seated immediately. We broughtt our own wine to enjoy with our meal (surcharge applies). The appetizers and our entrees were all delicious. The entrees were served hot directly as prepared by the kitchen. The favor and the aromas were tantalizingly wonderful. It was a delightful dinning experience and ery worthwhile to come here for a casual, sit-down meal.

Chi Chi's Pizza

Reviewed By Globetrotter805

Been coming here for 40 years, and they are still the best pizza and pasta in the area. They make their own pasta and it is never dried and re- boiled. They have added some new dishes, like gluten free pasta, so everyone has plenty of choices. For lunch, don't miss the meatball sandwich. A true family experience that will hook you.
