11 Best Italian Restaurants near San Tan Valley

“Been there 4 time in one week“

“The staff here are absolutely phenomenal! I arrived 15 minutes before our pizza was ready and had to wait with my boys (ages 5 and 9) who were already feeling cranky. I was not anticipating waiting to be a pleasant experience. Fortunately, an employee was folding pizza boxes at the counter and my kids were fascinated. They asked to watch and she agreed, explaining the process along the way. When my boys asked if they could try, she said they could and coached them through the process. My kids ended up helping to fold boxes until our pizza was ready. Other employees popped in to help and monitor when the original employee had to answer the phone or help a customer. What would have been a miserable 15 minutes turned into a wonderful experience. My kids left the restaurant declaring that their first jobs would be at Barro’s. The bonus to all this is that the pizza was absolutely delicious. We will definitely go there again!“

“We had taken a family member for an early birthday dinner. We had a waitress named Sarah. She was so great as a server. We had drinks refilled and kept checking on us. This young lady was awesome! She was so friendly and was
Joking and always had a beautiful smile. We could not have asked for better service. Great experience! Thank you Sarah also for the special breadsticks I requested
For my grandson. The food was nice and hot when it came out. The salad was so good very fresh. The breadsticks were delicious as well as the meals we ordered. Keep up the great work. The Foody’s and yes we really are Foody’s .😊“

“I ordered cannolis for pickup last night, and they were absolutely perfect. What the staff didn’t know is that these cannolis were in honor of my late brother’s first heavenly birthday. He was a talented chef who loved making cheesecake and cannolis, so this dessert holds a special place in our hearts. The team here couldn’t have known the meaning behind the order, but I truly appreciated the care that went into preparing them. The cannolis were delicious and brought a bit of comfort to our family on a very sentimental day. Thank you for helping make a small but meaningful moment so special.“

“Great pizza and the Gelato is delicious. Great, friendly service!“

“We went to Babbos for the $35 couples hh special including pasta, salad and wine for two. Very pleased and will be back!“

“What do I recommend? EVERYTHING! Delicious food. Best salad I’ve ever had-The Big Beefstro 👍-absolutely delicious. Our waitress Micole was very accommodating. I asked to substitute the Spicy Chipotle dressing for the Sweet Serrano Pepper dressing - no problem. Our party of 8 included 2 children. Micole put their orders through first and these were delivered in record time. Entree’s for the adults followed shortly after. LARGE portions of delicious food! Micole was efficient and attentive. Additionally, our 30 minute wait for a table was actually about 10 minutes. Highly recommend this restaurant. You won’t be disappointed! Apr 2/23“

“Food Quality: 4.6 / 5
The pizza is the clear highlight here. I highly recommend the Mozzarella, Fontina & Basil. The thin crust combined with the old-style oven creates a true zero-flop slice that’s crisp, well-balanced, and very flavorful. Everything tastes fresh and intentional. Worth noting: this pizza is best enjoyed dine-in, as it does not reheat or travel particularly well.

Service: 4.3 / 5
Service is consistently friendly. Most of the staff appear to be high school locals, but they’re polite, welcoming, and do a solid job keeping things moving.

Cleanliness: 4.8 / 5
The dining area is clean and well maintained, including tables and common areas. No issues noted.

Atmosphere: 4.4 / 5
Casual, relaxed, and welcoming. It’s a comfortable spot to sit down and enjoy your meal, especially if you’re dining with friends or family.

Value for Money: 4.5 / 5
Prices are reasonable for the quality you’re getting. When eaten fresh in-house, the value feels appropriate and justified.“

“Went tonite for the prime rib. Was delicious. Great service from Wendy. Will definitely be back.“

“We went on a Friday night at 6 p.m.. It was super busy. Everyone was friendly. The pizzas took a long time to be brought out; we dined in. The pizzas are consistently yummy! I had their gf pizza, thick crust. I've been eating gf food for over 25 years now and I really liked it. My husband prefers the regular pizza over the gf one, so he ordered his own pizza. 😉“

“I enjoyed the pizza and very kid friendly“
