15 Best Italian Restaurants in Peoria

“We just moved out to the area and the name caught us. The take out was quick. Zero hassles. Food was incredible. Will be a staple when we eat out. It was incredible. Chicken Masala was very good, although it had more of a sweet base than tasting the wine. Chicken Parm was great. Spaghetti and meatballs were very good. My daughter even loved the chicken tenders. Fries were VERY good. Bread was amazingly fresh. HIGH PRAISE TWISTED ITALIAN.“

“The food was amazing. I was taken aback by a $15 price tag for the garlic bread, but it was worth the price. Our table was still talking about it even after the rest of the amazing food. The entree prices were very reasonable, most of them $21-$29 each. I ordered the baked canneloni and it was so good. Someone ordered a pizza and loved it, too. I know it's conceited to say--but many times I eat at a restaurant thinking my own cooking is just as good. Not at The Sicilian Butcher--I couldn't begin to replicate the delicious food we ate.“

“We went to eat there last Saturday. Very good food, nice environment, friendly peoples and our server, Laura, over the top!!! Five stars!!. I can't wait to go again!!!“

“Our first visit...won't be our last, for sure! The best mussels this side of the Mississippi!!! Amazing, authentic bolognese...and the texture of the pasta, WOW!! Our waitress, Courtney, was outstanding...from carefully explaining specials to the attention she gave our party of 6 throughout dinner!💜“

“Wendy and her crew catered our wedding at the end of March and it was truly incredible! From the amazing appetizers they served during our cocktail hour, to the phenomenal pizza they served during dinner, we were blown away! Wendy responds so quickly and answered all of our questions! We loved getting to meet her before the wedding for a taste test and we were obsessed with her pizzas! We can’t wait to have it again! Can’t recommend Wendy enough! She’s awesome and her pizza is next level!“

“A few months ago, I ordered delivery from this location and I was mistakenly given the wrong order. This location went ABOVE AND BEYOND to fix this. By the time I noticed and gave them a call, an Olive Garden employee was already at my house with my correct order and told me to keep the incorrect one. They had already noticed the mistake a proactively fixed it. I love Olive Garden and this is a great one. Thank you!“

“Had a great experience! The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the service. Our waiter, Cory, was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. He checked in at all the right times, had a great attitude, and made us feel very welcome. Service like that really makes a difference. Highly recommend, and thanks again to Cory for the great experience!“

“Medium size pizza place with beer and drinks. We were a party of 6 on a Friday night. No trouble getting a table. Waitress was excellent, courteous and helpful with menu questions I had. Prompt service. I had a slice of Chicken Cacciatore pizza and it was excellent. I added a dinner salad, salad was fresh and good, with Balsamic dressing. Great food and experience!“
