Simply Great Food, Great Wine & Great Service
  • Family Style Italian Platters
  • Signature Bread & Bakery
  • Excellent Wine Selection

When our grandmas used to set the table, we knew a feast was just ahead...huge platters of pasta, sausages, chicken and vegetables were aligned in an oh-so-perfect setting. After borrowing our grandma's recipes, and preparing each delicate dish to serve in our restaurants, we soon discovered how to bring the flavor of Italy to Southern California. So, please understand that if your food takes a little longer, it's because we're making it especially for you, just the way our grandmothers would want it made - there's nothing frozen. Every dish is cooked to order using the freshest ingredients in our kitchen. Come today, we promise you will enjoy this authentic Italian experience!

Mamma Mia!  4 Star Rating - Very good

Great food, but we have to get past the bread! One of the best experiences I've had in Italian cuisine. The restaurant was more than I expected - pastas al dente, Italian at its best. Did I mention the breadsticks? They are addictive. Too much of this before your meal and you won't be able to do justice to your food.

I recommend this to any Italian food lovers.

Outstanding food, excellent service  5 Star Rating - World class

By far the best breadsticks around! The margaritas aren't too shabby either. The service is phenominal. An afternoon trip to Sisley is my weekly vacation from reality.

Best tiramisu I have ever had 5 Star Rating - World class

I took a grou[p of friends here before a concert at the TO auditorium. The staff was f riendly and the service is prompt. The menu is very extensive and includes gourmet salads, pastas, specialty pizzas (I like the gorgonzola and pear pizza) and typical Italian entrees such as chicken, veal and seafood. On my last visit I had the grilled salmon special and it was cooked perfect. It is easy for families since everyone can find something they like. Save room for desserts, expecially the tiramisu which is the best I have ever had anywhere.

Pros: Food and lots of good menu choices for the whole family
Cons: Drop someone off to put your name in, then go find a parking spot

Great personal vibe! 5 Star Rating - World class

My fiance and I went to Sisley last week and had a great time. The warm ambiance was perfect for our date. The service was top-notch and made us feel at home. The manager stopped by and welcomed us, treating us with great care. Then the food came. Wow. The service was good.... but the food was fantastic! We ordered sauteed mushrooms and our server was kind enough to let us know that this particular appetizer takes a few extra minutes. It was well worth the wait. We were constantly dipping our breadsticks in the sauce after we had finished the mushrooms. The pasta (penne bolognese) was cooked just right and the dessert was a perfect ending to an enjoyable evening ( we had some concontion called an angel kiss). We will definitely be back.

Pros: Sauteed Mushrooms. Pasta. Service.
Cons: parking

A FAN FOR LIFE 4 Star Rating - Very good

I have now been to 4 of the 5 locations and I am a FAN FOR LIFE. The lunch's that i experience at Sisley are wonderful the restaurant is up-beat friendly and welcoming, not to mention the wonderful food! I have eaten at Sisley for many different occasions and I have never left unsatisfied. I love the dinners and the lunch's Sisley is a great place to go on a date, business meeting, or spend quality time with family. As a business man I am very critical about the places I choose to dine in restaurants today dont serve quality food. Sisley is my place to go! From the servers to the food, drinks, desserts and the AMAZING BRUNCH they offer something for any time of day. The last time I was at Sisley I was informed of their Happy Hour and great prices for Kids meals, its wonderful to have a family owned business that is so in-touch with the community. WAY TO GO SISLEY!

Service Needs Improvement 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Visited the restaurant the other night and was disappointed. Service was lousy and not up to par. Sat at the bar and was just waiting and waiting until 2 other gentlemen had to say something on my behalf that I was waiting......even if a restaurant is busy, theres no excuse to treat customers this way. Ended up having a drink and eating elsewhere....

Service in the Valencia location was much better and yes, they were busy as well!!!

Pros: Ambience
Cons: Service

Decent food for a chain restaurant 4 Star Rating - Very good

I've been to Sisley's at the Thousand Oaks, Valencia, and Sherman Oaks locations. First impression is that the decor is updated and inviting. Of the times I've been at night, it is dimly lit and provides somewhat of a romantic setting. The food reminds me of the the types of dishes that could be found at Cheesecake Factory (referring to the pasta dishes). I've had dishes ranging from the salads, pastas, and entrees and are all affordable. The food portions are well sized and the selection is decent. Although Sisley's is a "chain" with decent selections, it is not the best italian food I've had. It is, however, a restaurant I will still frequent despite my comments above.
