50 Best Italian Restaurants in Tucson

“Have had nothing but absolute deliciousness from this place. Pasta, salads, sandwiches and the garlic aioli fries are to die for. Go! You won’t be disappointed!“

“good food - good wine - good ataff- good parking! All one needs!“

“Great atmosphere, varied menu, and excellent service. All four of us LOVED our entree selections. Can't wait to go back and try something different.“

“Renee's is one of my favorite places to eat. It's comfortable and delicious food - almost “home-cooked” but if your mom was a gourmet chef. I have enjoyed every dish I've ever ordered. The pizza is to die for and the pan seared chicken and tomato cream sauce is a fave. Her chicken Alfredo is some of the best Alfredo sauce and pasta dishes out there. And they have scrumptious vegan and vegetarian options and Zoodles!! Who doesn't love zucchini noddles?!? They do great takeout also but dining in for a quiet intimate dinner is always fun. Make reservations and just take the grownups.“

“Fantastic! There were 4 of us, everyone had a different meal, and everyone loved it. I had the rack of lamb and my wife had the pork shank pasta, they were both amazing and the prices seemed quite low to me for the quality of food.“

“The food is amazing. Best Italian since I moved to AZ from NY 30 years ago. I drive from Sierra Vista just to eat here...😁“

“Insane fusion and taste. I’ve ordered a lot of different things off their menu and all the pizzas are bomb. The real deal and nothing like it. We go sit down or order pickup. Had many people try it too.They never miss 🎯“

“I was hungry the other day and not sure what I wanted to eat. Did the Ole Google food near me. I happened upon Pasta La Vista, looked at the menu and made an order. As I was placing the order on the website and I really couldn't believe the prices. I told myself there is no chance this will be good but for these prices who cares. I showed up when they said my order would be ready and sure enough it was already bagged up in their pickup area. The employees were super nice. I got home open the bag and was shocked at the portion size. At this point I was positive this food would be barely edible. Boy was I WRONG! The Lasagna was so good I ate the entire portion, it really is enough for two people. I do have to admit that I had a bit of a stomach ache after I ate but, that was fault. The food was so good I ate to fast and a bit to much. I have told multiple people about this place and can't recommend it enough!!!!“

“Proposed to my fiancée at this beautiful establishment. Service was incredible and the place has a great ambiance. The food was delicious! Our go to restaurant 🫶🏾 Also, thank you so much to the owners for sending a bottle of champagne over to our table!“

“The pizza is delicious, consistent, and the service for delivery is great. I am actually in the middle of moving and asked if they delivered to my new address and was very pleased they do. The price is excellent for the product they serve. Nobody is left hungry. Their pizza is packed with flavor and ingredients. Fresco Pizzeria is the standard by which I judge all other pizza companies.“

“Unbelievable delicious food. Prices are good, service was nice and no need to make reservations. Will definitely come back.“

“Food Server, REDANA, was Excellent. Delicious Calamari. Excellent Veal Parmigiana with homemade Pasta. Sauce was great. And Cannoli was fresh and tasty. We are from NYC. We have eaten in Little Italy. Your food is worthy of being served on Mulberry Street. Five Stars... PS After we finished my Birthday dinner, I played Billy Joel's song "Scene from an Italian Restaurant" while awaiting the Check. And the red and white checkered table cloths are a Great touch. They remind me of Louie's Restaurant in the Godfather movie.“

“Enjoyed the cozy environment and the love the food. I will be going back.“

“My husband, daughter and I tried dinner here for the first time last night and were not disappointed! The atmosphere was very casual and the service and food were both amazing! We had the bruschetta, carbonara, pollo parm and finished off with a slice of cheesecake! I love that they brought the dessert selection out on a tray so you can see everything that’s available before choosing. The visual of the actual food sometimes sways you and makes all the difference! We will be back for sure and I can’t wait to try something new!“

“Had dinner with friends Trattoria Pina on Saturday evening, such a wonderful place. Food was extraordinary and service could not be better. Thanks to the entire staff. we'll be back soon. Loved the Risotto!“

“We live near Bazils and eat there quite often. The owners, Max and Sandy ate lovely, and the waiters and waitresses do a wonderful job of serving. The Italian food is the best in town. The marinara and salad dressing are especially good. Too, the other offerings such as veal and steak dishes, and their escargot and cheese bread are delicious.“

“I really enjoy the food at this Olive Garden, the price is what I don't always like. However, they do have a military discount, and the bottomless dishes will fill you up. The service is always good, I've never complained or made a complaint to a manager (managers circulate the dinning area, and check on customers). We don't eat here often, but I look forward to the next time we go.“

“Michael was outstanding Great waiter an server Represents your business well“

“Really yummy food! Never disappoints!“

“I visited this restaurant after my friends raved about it. The salad with basalmic vinagerette (sp) was excellent. The roll that came with my meal was also yummy. The pasta and meatballs was not bad - the meatballs had an off round shape that made me think they were hand made, and were very tasty. The cavatappi (or cellentani) noodles were an interesting choice, as I expected spaghetti or linguini, maybe even fettucinni. My only complaint was the sauce was a little runny, and not as thick as I thought it should be, making me think it came from a can/jar and not being hand made.. Magianno's, it's not, but I don't have to drive to Scottsdale to get it. I'll probably be back.“

“Stopped in today for Sonoran Restaurant week. We tried everything on the prix fixe menu and it was all delicious! Our server Daniela was also the bartender and she was on the ball. Made all the drinks and served all the food with a smile during lunch when we went in. We'll definitely be back to try their regular menu in the future.“

“good food me & my sister use to come & eat the turkey feta salad she passed away a week ago Saturday 😭💔“

“Good food/good atmosphere“

“Best food we’ve had in Tucson in a long time. Great Italian cuisine and friendly customer service. We will be going back quite often. Lunch specials were unbelievable. Very reasonable prices. Awesome place.“

“Great food. And great folks!“

“We took our husband there for Veterans day. . They offered a generous free meal for the veteran and treated him and all of us very well. The food was hot and excellent. We had a excellent waiter who was friendly and attentive and always checked in on us, and thanked my husband for his service“

“I love the atmosphere of this downtown restaurant and the service at the bar is amazing! The first time I went I tried the rigatoni which had a southwestern kick to it which was unexpected but I didn’t mind it. The second time I went I had the margarita pizza which looked great but sadly the sauce tasted like tomato paste. There was way too much on the pizza itself and it ruined the really good crust. The couple sitting next to me at the bar commented on it too. I would still return but not order the pizza.“

“This place is amazing! Great customer service, food was delicious! Did not disappoint at all. Will come back soon for sure!“

“Gorgeous and spacious. The reno is outstanding, there are multiple spaces to group together, have drinks or dinner! A must try!“

“We have a wonderful experience! Food was great, staff was so kind, very quiet and peaceful ambience. Our server, I think her name was Sira, was great!! The chef had hors d'oeuvres brought out as well which was very nice. We were celebrating a life event, and we are so thankful that the manager surprised us. We can't wait to go back, very thankful to all the staff for the experience.“

“My son and I were just their last week. Lukes was a suggested to us by a local friend. It was amazing! We ate it wet with zero regrets. The best overall meal that I have eaten out of Tuscon in the last 6 years.“

“Jesus treated us so well! He anticipated our needs before they crossed our mind, his personality shined and he was so efficient and kind. Elevated our experience to the max. 10/10 will go out of our way to come to this specific Olive Garden just for Jesus.“

“Great experience, games for kids. water fountain. Definitely be back“

“Awesome little place for wine and charcuterie on the patio!“

“Caruso’s is the first restaurant we ate at on our first visit to Tucson 30 years ago! We still love this place and the food after 30 years living here. Wonderful food, service .“

“Carlito was fabulous. My dad passed away 2 years ago ago and I fly in from Texas to treat my mom to a couple days at the resort. Our 1st stay was in June of 2024 for her 1st wedding anniversary alone. We had reservations at PY steakhouse, but our plans changed. I still wanted to have a nice dinner at the resort. So we tried Bellissimo and loved it. We enjoyed the bottle and bread special they had this visit and we were still able to keep our reservations at PY steakhouse this year for an amazing celebration of life for him. It's a memory I will cherish. Thank you, Carlito.“

“Great Pizza, Great service and just the best compliment to the liquid fair at the Hop Shop! Man I am a happy camper!“

“Food is as excellent. Small dining area but luckily we were able to find a table. We will definitely be going there again.“

“Christmas cheer 🍕 Lunch and took home 🏡“

“This is a good, down to earth Pizza and Italian food place. It's in a bit of a fancy area but this place isn't fancy in the best possible way. Good food, good service. The garlic knots were great. The mozzarela sticks were OK, the pizza was pretty good. Very good value. I would definitely go back. They are doing a good job.“

“Chase is an awesome server, even as busy and wild as this place is he is spot on his game. Excellent service!“

“Nice plaza. Parking is a bit difficult. It's laid out wrong and Trident expansion took away a few spaces. Several restaurants and when they are busy parking is difficult. Also many spaces reserved for business tenants even at night! But good choices for food and sometimes live music“

“Never disappointed here!!!!“

“Take it from this Chicago girl- this is great pizza. I ordered thin crust sausage and pepperoni and it was delicious! Hot and flavorful. My friend who is gluten free ordered the gluten free crust with vegan cheese and she was pleasantly impressed with how good it tasted. Highly recommend!“

“Eating their yummy calzones and pizzas for years at the gem show on 22nd! This year they were super busy and got our order wrong. They offered to make it right but we know they are swamped and were more than happy with our pizzas instead of calzones! Thank you!!“

“Best shrimp Alfredo I’ve ever had! Has some chipotle spice, but you can get light chipotle if you don’t like it too spicy. Staff was super friendly and food was phenomenal!! Will be my go to for Italian food!“

“Good four and great service.“

“The good food. The upstairs party room.“

“Great food and very attentive service. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“
