Italian Restaurants in Wedowee, AL

“Relax and enjoy!

What’s not to like about a grilled Ribeye with roasted Cambray and a side salad? Cabaret Potatoes are a medium-to-large variety with smooth, light brown skin and creamy white flesh. Side salads served by Italia are blessed with a fresh & crisp, spring mix topped with tomatoes, onions (optional) and shredded Parmesan cheese plus your choice of dressing. Blue Cheese for me please!

Being vegetarian and living locally, I’ve learned that quality vegetarian options are an endangered species. People love their steaks and burgers, okay?! Italia in Wedowee has some truly remarkable burgers to chose from. Check out the Italian or Pizza Burger. Then there currently is a Rubio with breaded chicken topped with a cream cheese spinach and spring lettuce blend. Italia also boasts a Steak Sandwich with a special Cruz Pepper Sauce with cheese.

Ms. “Mama” Mia, Italia’s new owner (May of 2025) was quick to say that her customers are listened to and that her staff is not ever going to be too busy to ensure that vegetarians, or anyone really, are just as pleased as any other customer willing to trust their lunch or ‘evening out’ experience with her small business. In my case, I called 30 minutes before I headed out to let the Italia kitchen know that I would like a vegetarian lasagna with a side salad and house bread, toasted baguette slices served with freshly whipped garlic butter.

If you have a dietary restriction, don’t be shy, communicate it! Ms. Mia will work to accommodate you!

While you’re waiting for your meal to be prepared, know that Italia has their liquor license and offers draft and bottle beer, with nice wine selection and a variety of your mixed pleasures to choose from.

For desert ask about the, Desert of the Day. Today it was Gingerbread Cake with a Cheesecake Middle. Wowie! 😊 It was heavenly.

While I dined with Italia, there were a dozen to go orders picked up. Customers I spoke to said that they appreciate the ability to order high-end pizza “to go” and not have to drive fifty miles round trip to get it.

Outside, there is plenty of parking along both sides of Hwy 431 and in front of Mia's Dolce Italia or you can use their very own parking lot located behind 109 Main St S. With ample median strip parking and parking at the rear of the restaurant, you can easily access 'good-as, home cooked' on your lunch break or special evening out together with a coworker, loved one or beloved friends.

If you’re a wheelchair user, there are ramps to access the entrance to Italia on either side of the building. The restroom is not technically, “wheelchair accessible” however, there are no steps to navigate and with a little help from a friend or staff, I’m told that you will be accommodated. The bathrooms are fresh and clean; I checked them out.“
