This old-school, family-run spot open since 1986 is a superb Italian restaurant disguised as an unassuming roadside stand. Boccali’s is as tasty as it is fresh, and grows its own tomatoes, basil, eggplant, peppers, onions and garlic, all of which find their way into the restaurant’s hand-tossed pizzas, sauce-drenched pastas, fresh tomato salads and sandwiches. Diners can sit at one of the picnic tables spread around the outside patio and on the large oak-covered lawn. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, customers can taste Boccali Vineyards wines, made from grapes grown on Marilyn and DeWayne Boccali’s ranch in the Upper Ojai Valley. If you stop buy during strawberry season, don’t leave without enjoying one of their huge strawberry shortcakes. Locals consider it the best dessert in town.
