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!“

“one our favorite little places. Great service, and the lasagna is best we have had at any resturaunt..“

“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!!!“

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

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

“Didn’t catch the servers name I came in around 6 PM.. but whoever he is, he deserves a raise and more I’ve never ran into a server so generous, kind thankful he was just all of the above a person with a big heart.i need his name we were in the right corner“

“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“

“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!💜“

“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.“

“My family and I came to Olive Garden at Arrowhead to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Stephen, our waiter, was very sweet and attentive the entire night. It was a very nice experience. He is an asset to the company. Thank you Stephen! 😊“

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

“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!“

“Beautiful atmosphere. The food is absolutely AMAZING. The lady that took my pickup order over the phone was very nice & I can’t believe how happy my family is over our meals. We got spaghetti with salad, bread (which is my favorite by the way), meatballs(10/10), and French onion soup! My kids don’t even like onions - yet loved the soup! Seriously give this place a 10/10. Thank you for a wonderful meal with my family.“

“Our family went to the Olive Garden on Grand Ave in Surprise yesterday, 3/22/26, we clearly had the best waiter in Christian in the room. I'm retired Navy in my 50's been to plenty of restaurants, and Mr. Christian was just a genuinely polite young man, great eye contact, listening skills, he came by our table 2 or 3 times to check in and didn't make us wait to long for our to go bags and final bill. I told the manager about our experience, sounds like he's just starting to waiter. Ask for Christian as your waiter, take care.“

“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“

“My wife and I went to this Carrabba's after not having been to one for several years. The food and service were excellent!!! We had the Calabrian Wings, Calamari, and the Buratta Mozarella and Tomato Caprese for appetizers. Our entrees were Beef Short Rib Marsala, and Shrimp and Scallops ala Vodka, with sides of Sausage and Lentil soup, and a Caesar salad. Desert was Tiramisu and an Espresso Martini. Everything was fresh and delicious!!!“

“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.“

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

“5 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely love North Italia. I have been going to different Norths around Arizona and the Peoria location is my favorite. The service was amazing from start to finish, the server was so descriptive and helpful to me and my family and the whole experience just felt so welcoming. The hostesses are all so cute and nice, but I have to shout out Payten specifically — she helped us out and went above and beyond. When we asked her to take our picture, she took so many for us and was hyping us up the whole time, which was so sweet. She was super attentive and made the experience even better.

Definitely one of my favorite spots — I’ll 100% be coming back. It’s like Italy in Arizona“

“Happy Birthday, Federico! Thank you for your personal attention. The 2 types of pizza are fantastic; the pista being crispier and chewier, but both have amazing flavors. My personal favorite is the Versace. The Margherita is also very good. Then, you must save room for dessert as they have many incredible desserts you won't want to miss.“

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

“Great food & friendly service.“

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

“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.“

“Pizza by Napoli is hands down one of the best spots around! The pizza is always fresh, loaded with flavor, and perfectly cooked every time. The crust has that ideal balance — crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The wings are absolutely 🔥 — crispy, juicy, and tossed in sauce just right. And the calzone? Massive, stuffed with plenty of cheese and fillings, and baked to perfection. You can tell they don’t cut corners with quality.
Great service, great food, and consistent every time. Highly recommend if you’re craving legit pizza, killer wings, or a top-tier calzone!“

“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!“

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

“food is always good services are top notch as I have travel around the usa amd live in this location this one seems to put to much butter as to the other places. I get same dish every time and this place only one i get stomach problems to use bathroom right away“

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

“Was taken here for the first time,, and it was lovely. Our waitress was so wonderful, she was patient with us and answered all of our questions, and checked back with us several times to make sure we were doing well, the food was delicious, with great choices weather you wanted traditional or something different and fresh ideas.“

“Submarinos Pizza and other menu items are so delicious!“

“Delicioso ❤️❤️❤️ Excelente atención“

“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!“

“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!!“

“great waitress, food and neighborhood atmosphere“

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

“Fantastic pizza and awesome staff. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“We have been coming here for 30 years, definitely miss some of the older staff members, but it’s great to see faces from 30 years ago still here.

Pizza and wings is our gig. But the calzones, hot sandwiches and pastas are also delicious. If you haven’t been here, do yourself a favor to come by“
