Boccaccio's Restaurant

If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine in Westlake Village, CA, Boccaccio’s Restaurant is the perfect spot. As an Italian who absolutely loves being near the water, I couldn’t imagine a better place to enjoy a beautiful dinner or impress out-of-town guests. We sat outside overlooking the lake, watching the water glisten during sunset—such a stunning, relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and it was truly the best I’ve ever had. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and every element on the plate was cooked to perfection. From the ambiance to the food, everything at Boccaccio’s was exceptional. If you’re searching for top-tier Italian dining with lakeside views in Westlake Village, Boccaccio’s is an absolute must-visit.

We had lunch here with a friend. We asked to be seated indoors to have reduced noise levels as our friend is elderly, with some hearing challenges. It was nice and quiet indoors, with lovely views of the lake ( the patio views, are, of course, superior.) Great service, good food. The chicken parmiagiana was excellent , as was the spinach ravioli! A lovely experience.

We're not sure if we just had bad luck or if this place isn't worth checking out. We went on Easter Day. We had a reservation but didn't realize it was a set menu (which we didn't really mind). What we didn't like was the service and the food. The service was super rushed; they didn't have time to explain the menu or take care of the tables properly. They were just dropping plates on the table like they were in a hurry. And the food wasn't as good as we expected (especially for the price). We get that it was a busy day, but if you're going to compromise on food and service quality, then you should get more staff or limit how many people you serve that day.

What a great experience! We came out for Valentine’s Day weekend and expected it to be very busy, but luckily it wasn’t bad at all. My boyfriend made reservations, which definitely helped. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted nicely and seated right away. We decided to sit outside because they have a beautiful view of the lake, and the outdoor heaters made it perfect for dinner. The patio looks so pretty with lots of seating and chandeliers running through the middle, making it feel very nice and fancy. The service was amazing. Our waiter took great care of us, answered all our questions, and gave us the best food recommendations. For appetizers, we ordered the clams. They were okay—not my favorite, but not terrible either. They were marinated in a lemon sauce but were lacking a little flavor. For the main course, I couldn’t decide between the lobster ravioli and the seafood soup. I asked our waiter what he recommended, and he said the lobster ravioli—and when I say it didn’t disappoint, I MEAN THAT. It was one of the best raviolis I’ve had in a long time. So creamy and flavorful, I would come back just for that dish. My boyfriend ordered his usual ribeye steak with potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender. I do wish it came with mashed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes, but it was still good. At the end, we got the dessert menu, and how could I say no? We ordered the crème brûlée, and wow—it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back again. Strongly recommend!

Highly recommend visiting this restaurant, the food is average but nice view, clean and we'll organized. In my experience, place was a bit crowded but still staff were extremely professional in assisting guest, food was served reasonably fast. After seating, immediately server offered complimentary bread basket + butter and water. The bread Also for birthday they offer complimentary slice of cake.
