Welcome to our little slice of Italy in the heart of Torrance, California.

Our restaurant was born from a simple idea: bring people together over incredible food, genuine hospitality, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Family-owned and operated for almost 30 years by Jorge, Julie, and the Curiel family, everything we do is rooted in tradition, passion, and a love for sharing great meals with our community.

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel right at home. Whether you’re joining us for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a night out with friends, our space is designed to make every visit special. Relax in our cozy dining room, unwind on our beautiful outdoor patio, or enjoy a handcrafted drink from our full bar.

Our menu celebrates the flavors of Italy with a focus on quality and care. We serve amazing, handcrafted pizzas with perfectly crisp crusts and rich, flavorful toppings, alongside delicious pasta dishes made with fresh ingredients and time honored recipes. Every dish is prepared with attention to detail because we believe great food should be both comforting and memorable.

At the heart of it all is family. The Curiel family takes pride in creating not just meals, but experiences—where guests feel welcomed, valued, and part of something special.

We’re more than just a restaurant! We’re a place to gather, celebrate, and enjoy the simple pleasure of great Italian food.

We can’t wait to welcome you.

 

We also cater parties and events. See our Catering page.

Hank’s Italian Restaurant was first established in 1967. We started as a local neighborhood pizza place in Torrance, CA, and quickly grew to one of the most known Italian restaurants in the South Bay.
