Highlights

Maria’s Italian Kitchen in Encino has been serving authentic, family-style Italian food on Ventura Boulevard since October 1989. Located in the heart of Encino’s restaurant row, we’re a beloved neighborhood staple for residents of Encino, Tarzana, Reseda, and the wider western San Fernando Valley.

Our Encino location features patio seating along Ventura Blvd, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner al fresco. Planning a group gathering? Ask about our “Godfather” table, a large communal arrangement that comfortably seats up to 10 guests, ideal for family celebrations, birthday dinners, and special occasions.

Open Monday through Friday from 11am, and for dinner service on weekends (Saturday and Sunday from 4pm), the Encino location makes it easy to dine in, take out, or order online for delivery.
