28 Best Italian Restaurants near Avondale

“I was really happy with my time at the pasta factory. Daniella was an excellent waitress, real sweet and attentive. The food was fantastic we ordered the Penne Arrabbita with Sausage which was delicious and nicely spicy. As well as the Florentine which had a complex combination of subtle flavors that overall led to a very tasty meal. The bread and dip they provided before the meal was fantastic very fresh and combined well.. The restruant itself has a solid Italian vibe that you wouldn't find at a place like Olive Garden. I will definitely be visiting again!“

“Food and service was on point, the gentleman help us was very helpful and polite. Pizza and garlic cheese bread was delicious. 😋😋😋“

“Our party of 18 people dined at this establishment last night. The food was exceptional, and the service was even better. Thank you to Mary and Clayton for the excellent service. Thank you to the hostess and manager for accommodating our party on short notice. What a great meal and experience! Highly recommended.“

“Always amazing and tasty.“

“Well to start off we ordered with door dash so as we all know food is not coming fresh not the restaurant's fault. Also on another note I have had an absolute terrible day!! We ordered food due to not wanting to have any more responsibilities for the day well we ordered the five borough pizza some hot wings and some fried pickles. Needless to say everything came as you would expect from door dash luke warm.. I'll start with we lived in Buffalo. The hot wings were amazing my expectations were low the reality has me wanting more and ecstatic to go try them in the restaurant hot and fresh. The pizza crust was perfectly cooked the sauce to cheese to toppings ration was perfect. The sauce on the pizza tasted garden fresh! Its been a long time since we had good quality pizza and wings. I feel a good cook expresses themselves through their cooking. Who ever made my family's dinner, thank you!! For making our day so mutch better when we just had a really unfortunate day! We can't wait to come try your food in person!“

“Flora’s Salad was fresh, flavorful & great portion. The manager offered me a taste of their new upcoming kale-apple salad & it was fantastic!
The bakery has the best Italian Wedding cookies that I e had in a very long time! Great service in both restaurant & bakery!“

“Sunday dinner was spectacular! Restrooms were clean and stocked well. The hostess was very polite and courteous making sure we sat in a Booth as requested. It was quite busy but we received the best service. Our server was on point! She was there whenever we needed her and didn't forget a thing. Amazing service and quality of food is superb. 💯🤩“

“We had such a lovely time. Food was amazing. We had the Godfather Pizza and Chicken Alfredo. Finished off with Canolli. So yummy. Service was excellent. We set on the patio. Perfect date spot.

Parking: Parking is available west of the restaurant but the lot is pretty tight. Street parking may be a better option for larger vehicles, when available.“

“My husband & I have been to Olive Garden Glendale many times in the past and always enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and the employees. This time we came to celebrate our 23rd anniversary and we were greeted by our server, Kiah. Best server ever! She was so attentive, very friendly, very professional, and really added to our experience. We laughed together - but she was also respectful of our celebration, and gave my husband & I space to enjoy the food and each other. Next time we come, we will certainly ask to be seated in her area. At the end of our meal, DJ, the General Manager, came by our table to make sure that we enjoyed the food. We sure did - but we also raved about Kiah. DJ was wonderful!, very friendly and appreciative. Thank you Kiah and DJ - you made us feel like royalty. Highly recommend Olive Garden Glendale. When you arrive, ask for Kiah! She will make certain that your experience is awesome.“

“Love this place, new favorite“

“Excellent!!! Love the outdoor dining option! Best Tiramisu!“

“I've been here a few times now. Overall, I don't love it but I do like it and will keep occasionally going. Costs decent money, sometimes have to wait for no obvious reason, and I don't know what the system is but EVERY time I've been there the staff seemed confused. The 1st couple times no one knew whether we were being served or not, the last couple times it took fewer people to determine whether we were being served or not. But the food is good (I say as a non-Italian), and they've been nice. The last 2 times I remember going I got a calzone which was fairly big and good and had a decent amount of filling and was not doughy and an eggplant parmesan that I wish had a less minuscule piece of eggplant (or 2) but tasted really good. My friend got the Valducci (I think it was) twice and one of those times O M G it was a garlic farm, it overpowered the smell of my food from across the table. It was actually befitting of the stereotypes of French people. When Sharpe said to let them get close and hold your fire until you can smell the garlic (at distance on a battlefield over the burnt powder smoke in the air) he meant something like that dish. WOOOO!“

“This is a nice little fast dining Italian restaurant. The service and employees are exceptional. The prices were very reasonable, and the food decent. We purchased a Vegetable Pizza, chicken wings, and fried mushrooms. I would recommend if you are looking for a fast dining Italian restaurant experience.“

“Edel was phenomenal with the service. He was checking up on us constantly and making sure that our drinks were full and we always had enough breadsticks. He even offered to refill my soup which I didn’t know you could do. He was also very patient with us and he deserves employee of the month.“

“first time here - and I can't express enough how happy we were with the customer service and to make the evening even better our food was AMAZING ... the pepperoni pizza was great crust was the best .. the spaghetti with tomato sauce was perfect and we couldn't of asked for a better meatball sub 😋 we will definitely be back !!!!! thanks again - not sure why but I'm not able to post any pictures so you all can see this amazing food 🤩“

“Very Tasty Pizza and! Very friendly and peoffessional staff.“

“Stayed at the Wigman and wanted a pizza. It was awesome! I would highly recommend“

“I recently visited Glendale for a concert and ended up at Barro’s pizza. I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. The cashier recommended a thin crust and the pizza was perfect!!! We had some medium wings that had the exact amount of sauce I look for. The chicken was nice and crispy, and the best part, I could tell the food was fresh. I would go again when in the area.“

“First time here. Food was delicious!!! Will definitely be back!“

“One of my favorite Barros..... One thing that sucks is don't get there an hour and half before they close some nights its packed and they shut down sections of the store and will NOT let people eat in there they seem more worried on getting the store closed tight on the money“

“Down from IL for my graduation. Too bad I didn’t get pics of the pizza and wings, but damn it was so good! And when we came in for pickup, everyone was so nice to us and greeted us. Good food, great people, and service. Amazing job to this pizza joint. If I lived here this would be my spot!“

“Amazing food!!!! Only issue is that there’s A lot gnats in the restaurant“
