50 Best Italian Restaurants near Sun City

“Paulie’s is amazing the food, family, and fun! I will say the front desk hostess area is confusing and disorganized. My brother and mother love the food!“

“It is the quintessential neighborhood Italian Bistro! The owners are awesome and the food get's the MAMA's HOUSE" badge! service is always friendly!“

“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!!!“

“The food is delish and fresh. Friendly staff and quick service.“

“Like I told Ernesto today. It was a Complete pleasure eating at this establishment!“

“A quarter pounder hamburger $36.50 that can't be right must be a misprint for one hamburger and 1950 for a hamburger that's got to be another misprint“

“Assolutamente fantastico!! Never has there been an Italian restaurant that offered so many wonderful choices for just about any diet. Are you kidding me? Zoodles? Spaghetti Squash? This is also one of the few places left that still have angel hair pasta and they use deliciously perfect Roma tomatoes. No sugar added tomato sauce AND everything made in-house? Wow...that's about all I can say about this wonderful gem in the desert. Everything had taste bud pleasing flavor, portion sizes are perfect and at a very decent price. Not to mention service was perfect, immediate and very accommodating. Whether this was a lucky night for us, or the usual for this wonderful place, they have new fans that will back for more. There is a ton of variety to the menu which requires more visits to experience. Don't pass this place up! The only suggestion is the artichoke leaves could be a little more tender using the baby leaves only, however, they are delicious and worth a try.“

“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!“

“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!💜“

“It was and usually is busy here. The wait time was to be 30-40 minutes, but, only had to wait about 10 minutes and it was Veterans Day, which they honor Veterans with a free meal. We had, wife and I, a good meal and experience. We go here several times throughout the year, every time has been great. Thanks Olive Garden.“

“tried it for the first time tonight, very nice staff with good recommendations. the good was great, will certainly be back to try more!“

Brenda is fantastic!! Bruce & Jo Ann“

“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!“

“Kind of pricey for basic Italian food but lovely service. Everyone in our table of 10 had pasta of some sort with meat, fish, or shrimp; a salad or vegetables; and it was about $26 to $30 per entree and drinks were about $8 for house wine. The decor could use a little updating as could the bathrooms.“

“I don’t often write reviews for big corps like this but our server the other night was such an angel I just had to! Kelsie kept our drinks and breadsticks fresh while we dined and I even commented to my husband that she was reading our minds because we would say let’s ask for more bread when she’s back and a second later she was walking towards us with it! I got a call with some bad news about a family member mid meal and without hesitation Kelsie got everything boxed up, fresh soup, sauces, and bread, even a tea to go. She really made a difficult time feel a little lighter. Thank you Kelsie for being an awesome human!!!“

“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.“

“The best Pizza ever extremely crispy crust which is very rare to find in Arizona
We also had the Chicken Marsala which was next level . The new owners are from ITALY so that should say it all !
The owners wife is the chef so the food coming out of the kitchen will be spot on ! I'm from NEW YORK trust me go to this new West Valley restaurant & you won't be disappointed!
Joe Rubino“

“short waiting line, great service , super food variety & delicious food....💥“

“Normally I get the chicken marsala but I tried the filet as I have not had steak in a long time....bit too much seasonings for me. Will definitely go back to my regular. Service is always great too“

“Love this place, new favorite“

“I have lost track of how many times we have been here since it opened. We have eaten the pizza, meatball appetizer with garlic bread, fish and chips, Caesar salad, garlic knots with marinara, plus a couple of the sandwiches. Everything has been delicious. Love this place.“

“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!“

“todo me encanto todo muy rico y muy buen servicio“

“Their salads are to die for! Love their food!“

“Great food & friendly service.“

“Have yet to try their food, but I had to write a review just for the customer service over the phone ALONE! Michaela helped me so so much. I called to ask multiple questions as my Fiance and I are considering Babbos for our wedding catering. She took my number down to give to the catering manager since they were not in when I called and I wanted to come in for a tasting. She also thouroughly answered any questions I had for the dine in menu in case we wanted to go in tonight. She was so polite, even helping me navigate their website over the phone. Michaela was very professional and kind. Thank you so much!! This staff member deserves to be recognized. I cannot tell you how many times I have had bad customer service experiences where the representative/staff seemed annoyed or bothered when you ask for help. This call made me excited to come in!!!“

“Food is delicious! Service fast! Great server!“

“One of the best tasting pizzas I ever ate.

One slice was more than enough.

I couldn’t believe the size.

Of just one slice.

Come to this place.

I recommend it.“

“I have been going to Pizza By Napoli since 2008. If you want a good pizza for a great price look no further. I will always support this family business. One thing I have noticed over the past 17 years is the consistency. You will get great Pizza everytime. I have never had a bad experience. I have had everything on their menu, they don't miss. Give them a try.“

“I LOVE Dino’s!! If you’re in the Goodyear / Avondale area you have to eat here! Delicious food ! Never a wait even during peak hours. Good pizza , wings , calzones. Athenian club - amazing meal for two! If you’re looking for a new restaurant to try or if you just haven’t been in a while; get in!! Support our lovely local small businesses!“

“Awesome job on the meatball sandwich! Great, friendly fast service!“

“Just went in tonight for dinner with my man and our two kids. There was a busboy by the name of Jose, he was great 😃. He gave us some great laughs and a little story time that added to our lovely night. He gave us a few goodies on our way out, we so appreciate it!! Thank you for adding some fun and cheer to our family outing. Happy holidays to you and yours Jose ❤️“

“I don't eat red meat. But I do at Richie's. That should say it all.“

“I did not eat inside but where i do order online I am always given quick and convenient service. I’ve gotten the Chicago deep dish many times but this most recent visit was by far the best. They had put light sauce as I ordered and the seasoning they used to top the pizza was a 10/10 it tasted so much better than every other time I’ve ordered the same pizza.I would definitely get it again.“

“Great option in the Central Valley! Just moved to Glendale from N Phoenix and wanted a closer option. This definitely hit the spot! Quick delivery via third party delivery service and the pizza was awesome! Thanks Lucky’s!“

“Professional, clean and good tasting food. Great for a quick lunch or nice dinner, definitely recommend.“

“Fantastic pizza and awesome staff. Highly recommend.“

“Went there on our second date and been there many times since. This place I recommend them to everyone.“

“Our visit was disappointing at Babbo's. The last couple weeks we have gone out for birthdays and this was our least favorite. Our waiter said very little. Whenever we said thank you to the staff they never said thank you back or said “you're welcome.” They brought the wrong dish out, we had to track down a waiter (couldn't find our own) and then they took the wrong dish instead of offering for us to keep it and the new dish was dramatically smaller is portion size. We had to ask for refills instead of being offered refills. We waited to buy a lock for the wall outside and after no one came to the hostess stand we left. We got better attention and service from Chik Fil A the next day.“

“Best pizza and wings we have had in Phoenix! My 8 year old rated 11/10 lol (he loves pizza) oh and the fried mushrooms are a must! Can’t wait to go back and try more! The staff is great, very friendly and inviting 😃“

“great waitress, food and neighborhood atmosphere“

“Shout out to Jim and his team!! JoJo’s catered the food for our grandmothers 90th birthday on Sunday and everyone raved about the lasagna, sausage and peppers, alfredo, garlic bread and knots, and salad!! Great food, awesome price, delivered!! If you are looking to cater your next party and want great food, give JoJo’s a call!! Thank you Jim and team!!“

“This place has a great atmosphere it’s so welcoming and the workers are so friendly always willing to help to make sure you are comfortable here. The only reason I did not leave a 5 star review on the food is that sometimes they add some unwanted ingredients, but removing it, it taste delicious“

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

“This is not commentary on the food itself, but an issue that customers need to be aware of when ordering delivery. Many restaurants are doing this, and this is yet another...do NOT try to tip the delivery driver through them. They subcontract the services of people like Door Dash, and when a tip is added to the order the delivery driver will never see a dime. The restaurant KEEPS those tips. I always tip in cash myself, because multiple restaurant chains are doing this to drivers that end up making as low as $2.50 in TOTAL for bringing even a large entire catering order to someone. This exact scenario occurred with an order from this location.“

“Delicioso ❤️❤️❤️ Excelente atención“

“Love this place! I take friends and family here when they come to town and want an amazing experience and great pizza 🙌“

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