La Trattoria Italian Restaurant
The best lasagna and garlic bread my wife and I have ever had -- period.
It was probably 1992 when we randomly chose to eat here (on our way back to San Diego). A few years later, my wife asked me where the BEST lasagna I ever had was -- and I said "That place we went to in Ventura.".
So, returning from another trip earlier this week, we decided to try to find that place again. And, amazingly -- because we did not know the name or address -- we WERE able to find it!
Still the same owner, still the same lasagna, and it is still excellent. My wife is not normally a huge lasagna fan -- but she is now a big fan of that dish at this place. Highly recommended.

Our FAVORITE Italian spot. Been going there for over 30 years. Enjoy the Sam's Melt and dipping sauce & Bob O'Grady's Salad. Garlic Bread is the best!

Asked at the front desk of the Quality Inn in Ventura about a beer and sandwich place. "Oh, Dukes!" I walked over and found a little bit of paradise. The locals were gregarious and the beer great - 12 oz or 32 o...

Ferraros is the best. If you havent tried it you need to. The garlic bread is the best. Kids will remember the puppet.

I had the greatest time at Christy's Deli, the people that work there are the best. It's just a happy place to go. The food is awesome.

We LOVED this place!!! My friend and I were on a roadtrip, and this was the perfect cliche California beach diner!!!! I would go back any day of the week!

I have been going there since I was a little kid. I like the music selections and the lime phosphate shakes!
