6 Best Italian Restaurants near Tuscaloosa

“The staff was friendly and welcoming. I went there for my birthday. I received free dessert because of it. I love this restaurant.

Vegetarian options: They're some vegetarian options on the menu.

Parking: The parking lot is spacious and they also have handicapped parking parking spots.“

“A group of us Canadians came down and had a great time there. We were a party of 8 and showed up as a walk-in. The staff worked hard to make something work and find us a table. The food was delicious. Both the manager and owner took time to sit down with us and talk about Tuscaloosa, the football team and the University. I very much appreciated the effort Christian and his staff went to provide my friends and I with memorable dinning experience. Go to Sugo and Roll Tide!“

“New in town, first time dining here last night. 10/10 all the way around. Food and atmosphere was great. Emma & Hannah worked together on recommendations from the menu and superior service the whole night. Will highly recommend and definitely be back soon. Thank you for such a great experience.“

“It seems that Forte has gotten some bad reviews these past months. My wife and I went to celebrate a very special occasion anyways to see what had changed. I reserved online and the staff (Caleb) messaged me to make sure everything was set up and even offered us a nice table because they weren’t busy that evening. I asked if they would set out a bottle of champagne for us cold on the table when we arrived and they were more than happy to do so. Really nice servers and staff, everyone at least seems to enjoy working there which is a sign of a nice restaurant.

Food: Really nice. I had tried this place when it was a French menu, but I think Italian suits this place well too. The food was well thought out and delicious. The Grouper was a delicious dish I really loved it. Everything was super nice and delicious. The house made foccacia was really nice. Drinks were really reasonably priced for being a bit more of an upscale place.

Atmosphere: It’s cozy and the lights are a little low. It’s nice and if you want an intimate date night I highly recommend.

I think it seems maybe we missed the rough patch that Forte supposedly had because last time we had it years ago it was fantastic and just yesterday it was fantastic too. Highly recommend for the price.“

“was open for delivery until 2am!! garlic knots were SO good (although the marinara was a little bland) and the carnivore lasagna was better than i expected! totally worth the price considering you get a ton of food. 10/10 would recommend :)“

“Wings are sooo good!!! I recommend their pizza and wings!!“
