Best Casual Restaurants in Glendale

Great food. Great service. We will keep going back.

We absolutely love Caruso’s - it’s a gem and everything we’ve ever had or tried has been phenomenal. It’s an absolute must try, especially if you’re in the mood for homemade Italian. The Chicken Parmesan is fantastic, all of the pasta dishes are incredible (especially the Rigatoni Rustica and Linguine Scampi) and my wife tried the salmon last night and it was cooked perfectly and came with an amazing risotto. We’re working our way through the whole menu, but I honestly can’t stop ordering the Chicken Parmesan. Seriously, you need to put Caruso’s at the top of your list - it’s a contender for the best overall restaurant around!

Alfios was suggested to us by a family member and we’re so glad we finally went. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the food was spectacular. Our waiter made us feel special and explained everything thoroughly.

Everything about our dining experience was lovely. There was a great flow about the entire place. It was Christmas Eve, which can be very hectic with a lot of large parties, but drinks, dinner, refills, table clearing, dessert and check delivery were all executed flawlessly. The food was hot and delicious. We enjoyed ourselves and had a wonderful family celebration!

Tonight was the evening before Christmas Eve. Everyone was in a festive mood. We met three friends we hadn’t seen in a while and everything was wonderful. My second time at Meritage this month.
