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!“

“Just celebrated my wife’s 80th Birthday. Great atmosphere, great food, friendly staff, Not the first time here, would have to consider myself a regular for sure. Dominick and his wife Debbi are very accommodating. By the end of the night we were friends with other customers. They all sang Happy Birthday to Marcia. And let’s not forget the singing and dancing. Could not have asked for a more memorable night“

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

“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!“

“Amazing, very welcoming and kind. I appreciate the kindness a lot and the waiter was very respectful to me and my family. Kay and Habraham was amazing here is my olive garden to go from now on thank you again and I hope the staff get recognition“

“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!💜“

“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.“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Olive Garden, and Bre was a big part of making it so special! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of from the moment we sat down. Our drinks were always full, she checked to make sure everything was good, and she genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal. You can tell Bre really cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. She is truly an exceptional server, and we hope to have her again the next time we visit! Thank you, Bre, for making our dinner such a great experience! ❤“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“If I could rate this place more stars I would. They always strive to make you feel like family. From dining in or getting it to go, quality is never scarce. The pizza is always fresh and there's something about it that leaves you craving it when you want pizza. 10/10 best place for pizza in town. Been coming here since 2012 and will continue to be back.“

“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!“

“1st time visiting restaraunt and Giulio suggested some items and they all were amazing. We got the mozzarella appetizer, short rib pasta, gnocci lamb chop and the cheesecake. They all were delicious. He was so attentive to us and super friendly. We will keep coming back, trying new items. Awesome job Giulio, we will come back to visit.“

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!“

“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 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.“

“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!!!“

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

“JJ, Piper, Pork Chop and Eli - they were awesome!! JJ helped me with my to-go order and was outstanding! Super friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy and was fun to talk with. I really appreciated the excellent service and would gladly come back to this specific Olive Garden.(Surprise location store 1627)“

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

“In the area for work and was recommended to come here from a client, I decided to come before the dinner rush (around 5pm) since I'm just a single seat. I was greeted and seated quickly, they had my choice bourbon from the bar, and I ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka, a half Ceaser salad, and the tiramisu.

Food was honestly delicious. The salad was wonderful, nice and creamy with hints of anchovies and homemade croutons; however, I did find it odd that they would sprinkle parsley on this salad.

The main dish, the spicy rigatoni vodka, was very tasty, perfect amount of spice, the pancetta was nice and crispy with solid chunks. A couple shortfalls: I felt it was a bit sparse on the sausage. I feel like bigger and more chunks of sausage would make this dish perfect. I would also prefer table side garnishing for my parmigiano, so I can control how much or how little I prefer.

The tiramisu was delicous, I love that they put these crunchy little balls of chocolate on top. The shortfall here was that I feel it was too afraid of having that espresso taste.

Overall I very much enjoyed my meal, my waitress was attentive and helpful. I think I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area 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!“

“Fantastic pizza and awesome staff. Highly recommend.“

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

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

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

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

“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!!“

“I ordered thru the website for delivery ($5). 14” Italian Beef & Hot Giardinera with Double Dough crust. The pizza was fantastic!! It was delivered promptly, steaming hot, very fresh ingredients and just the right balance of sauce, ingredients and cheese. I would definitely order again!!“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“As someone who has personally been to this restaurant, I have to disagree with this review. None of what is described here matches my experience at this location.

I have never experienced a 3-hour wait, the bathrooms have not been anything like what is described, and I have always seen the staff treated respectfully. These claims honestly sound like they may have been intended for a different location.

Everyone is entitled to a negative opinion, but there’s a difference between sharing an honest experience and making claims that simply aren’t true. I would definitely double-check the location before taking this review at face value.“

“great waitress, food and neighborhood atmosphere“

“By far this world traveler's favorite. I believe its the dough“

“Babbos has become my favorite go to place for yummy food, great atmosphere, abundant parking and the most wonderful welcoming people welcoming you EVERY TIME. Ally has been my waiter who remembers what I order and how I like! How they remember with so many customers is because they genuinely care and it shows. I'm at Babbos on McDowell in Goodyear, AZ! The best! Come and see!“

“Kenny and the other staff at this location are wonderful! I placed a large order and Kenny was super helpful in making sure I had the right amount of food and variety for the event. My order was ready exactly when they opened and everything was correct! Great job!“

“Great service! David was our server and he was fabulous! Thanks!!!!👍“

“Shout out to Kim!! I’ve been served by her twice now and I have to say, probably one of the best servers I’ve ever had ANYWHERE. Most recently, I went yesterday and it was Sunday so they were busy! Regardless of that she was extremely attentive. Despite seeming like a small gesture it meant a lot; she remembered that my boyfriend likes water with no ice after each refill. On top of that I think she’s also the bartender so it’s just even more impressive of how attentive she was. Kitchen was a little slow that day but I didn’t mind too much! Honestly gave us time for the food to settle down after the first plate! All in all Kim was extremely professional, funny, and attentive. Thank you Kim!“
