50 Best Italian Restaurants near Wilmington

“Delicious, all of it! Fettuccine Alfredo, Salmon with rice, BBQ ribs, Steak, salads (both caesar & blue cheese), Mediterranean platter, and the onion+bread starter which none of us had had before, all delicious! Shame we're only here for 1 night! But I think we picked the best restaurant around.“

“This restaurant is fantastic!!!The food is always great.. full portions and reasonably priced... the Della Casa salad is our favorite.. which has both heats of palm and artichoke hearts and a wonderful light dressing... all pastas are great... we had the sea bass which was fresh and was served with veggies and potatoes. Love this restaurant and when the weather gets better the outdoor patio is fantastic.. 1/2 a block in from the beach... Excellent service and atmosphere.“

“Had a great time. We had 5pm reservations and were seated promptly by a friendly hostess so the night was off to a good start. Cocktails were great (thanks Edgar) and our server was so friendly and cheery (so sorry I've forgotten her name). We ordered tons of food, scallops and calamari to start were really good. In fact, the scallops were EXCELLENT! All three in my party had the 16oz rib eye... soooooo good! We finished off with the tiramisu and creme brulee and both were delicious! After dinner we moved over to the bar side and had a couple more drinks before heading home FAT AND HAPPY!“

“Amazing food, the buratta caprese was excellent. Showed up 45 minutes before my reservation and they got me a table within 10 minutes. Wine and desserts were top notch. Seafood pasta on point. It was a busy dinner rush so there were some longer than usual waits to getting refills, more bread, getting the check. But overall the atmosphere and food make it a must visit.“

“The ambience of the restaurant is really nice and the staff were very friendly. Brian H was our waiter and he was very nice - since it was my first time at the restaurant he gave us some Pura Vita pins and stickers which was a nice surprise. I enjoyed all of the food we ordered and would come back and try more dishes.“

“We’re two Brits who have spent a few nights in San Pedro. We’ve tried some other restaurants but have been to this one twice because it’s absolutely brilliant. From service to food. From great chianti to ambience. Loved the lasagne and tiramisu. Made very welcome by all the employees. If you are going to try one restaurant here go here.“

“We found Angelo's on our way to the Long Beach airport before returning to Fort Worth and had the good fortunate of meeting Angelo himself. This place is like being in Italy and I can say that because we have a second home there! We grabbed a couple of sandwiches to go which were outstanding. The products in his store are all what you would find in Italy and if I lived anywhere close, I would be a regular shopper here. Angelo, grazie mille per la meravigliosa ospitalità! Ci vediamo la prossima volta che saremo a California (the homemade cookies were awesome)!“

“I’m actually blown away by my experience here. The food and hospitality given to us was amazing. I’m definitely coming back the first opportunity I have. There is a wait time for food but everything is freshly made and it reflects in the quality of food. GO EAT “

“The service at this place was phenomenal. I was craving aglio olio e peperoncino and asked if they could make it for me even though it was not on their menu, and they did. It did taste great ? the mussel and veal dishes were satisfying but not phenomenal though.“

“This pasta dish is probably the best I've ever had! Papparadelle e Burrata @laparolacciausa was tasty and filling! Everything else looked yummy too. The food came quick and the service was great! This is gonna be a new Treat myself place!!!“

“In the summer of 1975, I was only 14, and already a "Busboy extraordinaire"! My family had just moved from East Los Angeles to Monterey Park, and I started working at the best Italian restaurant on the planet, 'Agostino's'. At first, I thought all the beautiful girls were coming in to see me clear dirty dishes off of dirty tables. I later learned it had something to do with the food. And something to do with the restaurants' proximity to Mark Keppel High School. On top of all that. it was Great pizza at an affordable price. I stayed there charming the clientele for about three years. I met members of the M.P. Police, council members, Mayors, and others. I saw my classmates come in with their families, on dates, and in the banquet room after every major school dance. It was a place where you could go have pizza with friends, and not be embarrassed to run into your parents having a nice dinner. It was the hub of all social life in the San Gabriel Valley. I left the restaurant for college in 1978. In 1980, Agostino ("Gus") and Alicia sold the restaurant and went back to Sicily. I hadn't seen them in almost 50 years. A half century! Well, my fellow Monterey Parklandians (is that even a word?), this past weekend my wife says to me: "Remember your wish to step into 1975 and smell the food at Agostino's again"? She then drove me to this small Italian restaurant in the community of Paramount. Inside ..... were Gus & Alicia. The original owners who gave me my first real job so many years ago. The food was as good OR better than I remembered. Just as fresh too. My wife and I split an antipasto salad, a lasagna, and a pizza. Alicia came over to sit with us, we traded hugs & stories. Alicia is as warm and delightful as I remembered her. We didn't spend too much time with Gus, he was busy. Although I believe Gus is still jealous, because Alicia thinks I'm too handsome. It's a mystery. If you lived in the MP/Alhambra area for any amount of time, you surely enjoyed the authentic Sicilian food from Agostino's. And you'll truly enjoy Gus & Alicia's "Cafe Corleone". I know we'll be going back. CAFE CORLEONE 15337 Paramount Blvd, Paramount, CA (562) 408-6100. Dine-in/Takeout / Delivery“

“We took our son-in-law and daughter out for his birthday. Everyone enjoyed their food very much. The only reason I didn't give five stars was that I had requested a quiet table out of the restaurant traffic, but we ended up next to the bar, in passing traffic. I have a serious hearing loss and very much wanted to enjoy the conversation. The staff is always helpful and delightful, very professional.“

“I woke up craving Spaghetti and Meatballs..and found this place.. Ordered a full pastrami sandwich and spaghetti and meatballs..Upon arrival, i realized that I have been in this place before, about 25 years ago or so.The spaghetti and meatballs was phenomenal, with 3 meatballs, and sauce to spaghetti ratio on point.Pastrami sandwich had the perfect moisture and flavor, just the right amount of mustard, would have like a bit more pickles but still a great sandwich.I hate that I didn't get the names of those who attended to me, but 100% great customer service.Safe to say. This is going to be a must go to for me at least once a month..“

“First time in tonight and we we’re greeted at the door and offered a piece of delicious bread while we decide to eat here or not. The hostess was super kind and the waiter was super helpful with our order on the specialties of the house. The Pink sauce ?. Definitely coming back!“

“I am a lover of Italian food! Overall the place was good. Everything seemed fresh and had good flavor. We ordered the burrata appetizer, which was decent. I appreciated that they had 2 types of gluten free pasta. They made the other pastas in house. Worth a try if you are craving Italian food and are in the area.“

“I just want to say, who charges for convenience fee o_0 I was shocked to see this.To be honest I felt rushed to eat my salad. I was asked about twice if I was done. I mean if you see me eating I guess I'm not done. So I just dumped the salad bowl into my plate so she can remove the bowl ? ? ?Love this place but please don't rush me when I'm eating. I'm not on my 30 minute lunch break.The host (gentleman) was great very attentive. We spilled water and my boyfriend tried to clean the table and seat. However we missed the ice on the floor but the gentleman was so nice about it. ?I watched how rapidly he worked the floor, amazing ? from seating guests to cleaning tables and even offered to box my leftovers ?Parking: Limited parking spots.“

“This place is a South Bay gem! The coffee is the best I have found in our area, the owner/staff are super friendly, and the food is fresh & delicious. In the morning, it's packed but service is still efficient. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a latte and a crostini!“

“Very nice elegant restaurant I really loved the vibe and how once you enter you go up the stairs to a totally chill vibe with a view ! very discreet . The service was fast and the food was tasty and well cooked I came after walking out of Coastal up the street.The server at Radici was great and focused.“

“Evening food is INCREDIBLE - like you’re in Italy. People are wonderful, especially the GM and head waiter. They make you feel very welcome. Only complaints - no vintages on wine list, no corkage. Food and wine list is also overpriced. And while I complain about the bill every time I come here, we go back. Because the food is incredible, the people are wonderful and you feel like you’re not in Hermosa Beach, but transported to somewhere else.“

“Hidden Italian gem in Belmont shore! Anytime we have a craving for Italian this is the go to spot. We always get take out as the restaurant interior is pretty small and cramped. They could definitely use a larger space on 2nd street that's for sure!“

“Super friendly service! After 20 years since my first time, they STILL have $1 salad. Nothing has changed. I love that about this place. It's like a little family. It's very hard for me to pick pasta since i am not familiar with the names, but every time i pick something (always different), it comes out good. Would always come back to this. Plus, there is an ARMY cashier here. IYKYK. ?“

“Can't go wrong with complimentary fresh baked bread served warm. Love Fritto Misto. We've dined in a few times and ordered takeout once. All experiences have been fantastic with staff & food, although on one visit my sauce was broken and I should have sent it back but definitely not a deterrent from future visits. Pasta is definitely made in house along with pretty much everything else. Some of the specials & really complex pasta dishes can be on the pricier side. I appreciate how affordable the simple choose your pasta & sauce option is. They don't accept reservations. This spot can be really busy during normal dinner times but if you go before 6:30 you can generally get a table easily, no problem. If you take any of their pasta to go and need to reheat it, do it on the stove & not in the microwave..“

“I can’t say enough about Lido! I personally love the food, atmosphere and staff. I have also had several events in the back patio area, including a monthly Kiwanis meeting, and they are always seamless. Lisa, Carlos, Javier and the rest of the team always make sure everything runs smoothly. If you are just going to dinner or throwing a party this is a great spot!“

“We were here for a bridal dinner in the private back room. Absolutely delicious!!! Fresh ingredients and everything made with love. Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere! The pasta was perfect and the appetizers were such a tasty start to an incredible meal.“

“BEST PIZZA IN THE SOUTH BAY! My boyfriend introduced me to this little gem a few years ago and I can honestly say any other pizza I try since doesn't come close to the amazing taste that Jack's pizza makes. We're lucky enough to live 3 minutes away from this place, so we usually pick up and bring the pie home, but it's always piping hot and perfection every time. I honestly don't go anywhere else for pizza since my first bite of Jack's pizza, and I can pretty much guarantee you won't either. This place has been around for a long long time, I think somewhere around the 80's and I hope they stay around making magic in the kitchen for many years to come. A sincere thanks to all the staff at Jack's! Stay awesome and don't change!“

“First time trying them and definitely not disappoint. The pizza was hot, cheesy, and one of the greatest cheese pulls I had in a long time from a pizza joint, definitely delicious ? The wings was crispy, meaty, and very tasty ? and the dessert pizza ? was mos definitely kid approved and tremendously yummy ???The killer is that you can order online, or over the phone with your EBT and they'll deliver it, the delivery fee and tip will all go on your EBT and absolute winner for those who need that break. Thank you ASAP that was delicious, and the kid ask me not to forget this deal ???“

“Best vegan pizza in LA!! The crust is perfect, the plant-based cheese is the best I’ve ever had, and all in all it’s delicious! I miss the vegan lovers though :/. Thankfully you can replace cheese for the vegan cheese on any pizza, but I loved the toppings before! It’s also pretty pricey…Vegetarian options: Very vegan-friendly!“

“Opted for italian and glad we did. Michaels never dissapoints. Excellent customer service, fabulous delicious cuisine, excellent wine and bubbly selection and dessert to die for. Heated patio which made for a comfty dining experience. I had the Linguini with Salmon off the limited menu and let me tell you, absolutely spectacular dish. Try it while is available. Paired that with some prosseco and yummy! Started with roasted veggies, highly highly reccommend, utter yummyness roasted to perfection. Crunchy, fresh and flavorful. Paired that with Calamari delight! Capped it off with an on the house Tiramissu (not sure if i spelled it right) in a glass. IF YOU DONT HAVE DESSERT, you must make an exception for this, my eyes literally rolled to the back of my head on the first taste! "I'll have what shes having" type of reaction! A must try. We paired that with vanilla bean ice cream, delicious. Top that off with excellent top of the line customer service. 5 stars!“

“My husband took me here to celebrate my birthday and he chose it because we were going to the Opera after to see La Traviata, so he wanted to make a theme night. The restaurant is small and quaint. They had live music. The decor is very simple, a bit rustic? But had some very pretty chandeliers. You must have reservations and must arrive on time. Our server was very polite and was quick at answering questions and making suggestions. I ordered the Chicken Milanese, and my husband had the Lasagna. Both were very delicious. We did not have any wine although it looked like they had a good selection and we opted for no dessert (good selection as well), as our meals were pretty good size. We both liked it and would go back. This restaurant has been open for 25 yrs.Parking: There is a public parking structure but it was a block away. Street parking is metered“

“This place is amazing the sandwiches are delicious. “I love the chicken Parmesan sandwich personally “. The cannolis are great, Wine prices are reasonable and really good selection,. The customer service is outstanding, all the individuals are very sweet and kind. I Highly recommend this hidden gem, The food is a true Italian experience.“

“Excellent service & very friendly staff - Anthony with a big smile! Food some of the best I’ve had. Paola the chef did everything perfect. Really nice is you get your choice of protein and 2 great sides; any salad, tabbouleh, basmati rice. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Mama Says Italian restaurant, conveniently located in the Rolling Hills plaza next to Whole Foods, proved to be a delightful discovery. The review praises the excellent food made to order at a reasonable price. The mixed seafood pasta ordered to-go was perfectly seasoned, with noodles cooked to the ideal texture, not overdone. The addition of the carrot soup, with its enjoyable blend of seasoning and just the right amount of cream, complemented the meal nicely. Definitely, be back to try other pasta dishes.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. To start the service is impeccable, they make you feel like family. Silvana goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Food is just amazing, for the appetizers, drinks, entrees and dessert are to die for.“

“The food was actually incredible. They use an excessive amount of cheese while still staying behind the line of "too much", plenty of herbs sprinkled on top, good pepperoni and perfectly crunchy and thick crust. Fries were crisp and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The restaurant was clean with ample space between tables and seats. My only complaint is the service. The employees are so nice, enthusiastic, and friendly, but they need a better system for getting food out. Too many people taking turns sending orders out, they aren't very loud people either so it's hard to listen to your order unless you're right at the counter but you don't want everyone crowding the space. If this place invested in establishing a proper organization to serving, they wouldn't ever slow down because their employees, food, and restaurant are fantastic“

“AWESOME PIZZA!!!I'm blown away by the quality of your pizza. I ordered the Medium Veggie and boy was I blown away by the quality of the pizza. To start with the dough is hand spun, making it nice and fluffy but not doughy like many others. Crust and undercarriage was crispy not greasy and cooked perfectly. The sauce was perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Plenty of vegetables and perfectly balanced cheese. If you are looking for a great pizza this is definitely the place. I am a tough person to satisfy when it comes to pizza but this place gets two thumbs up! I'll definitely be back. Also the service is friendly. This place is a hidden gem, so many small pizza places are dissappearing because people settle for cheap, disgusting pizza. I am happy to discover this place! Keep up the great job! Good luck!“

“This place is close to my heart and stomach! Our family has been enjoying Appetizer turkey sandwiches for many, many years. It was a tradition for my Mom and Dad to order them for USC football games. We are continuing the tradition to this day and have also discovered their amazing pizza! So dang good. It’s always a pleasure to see them and pick up our order. They’re always smiling and happy. Love this place! Highly recommended.“

“Every birthday celebration here was a culinary hit! Chefs Gorgio & Carlo Borellilocal masters @ taste & atmosphere!Vegetarian options: Mediterranean is healthiest, choices here !Parking: Beautiful brick walk from near !Wheelchair accessibility: Able to accommodate …“

“This place doesn’t disappoint, seriously. Genuinely, this might be one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to and I grew up in a city with a lot of Italian restaurants. I got the Spicy Penne alla Vodka for takeout the most recent time I visited and it did not disappoint. Not to mention there’s a lot of different nearby stores you can visit too after you’re done eating. Definitely if you’re looking for an Italian place that is good and has excellent vibes in Manhattan Beach or El Segundo, this is the place to go. Just wish they stayed open later than 10!“

“I am not a food truck fan in general. Maybe two or three times a year I go to one, but it was raining and cold and there was one at the front door so tonight was Food Truck Night, and an overcooked, overpriced burger with too many fries would be just fine.SO WHAT A THRILL TO DISCOVER ITALIA ON THE ROAD instead. The tastiest lasagna I have ever had, with a fresh salad I was too full to eat.The bread and chocolate chip canolis, which I did have time for, were good enough to write about. So I am. Wonderful dinner.Equally important if not more so, ANGELO and SOLENT, the Truck's partners in life and lasagna, were so kind and warm and genuine that my dinner experience soared to really special heightsThey are cover-model captivating, both of them; without a touch of conceit. The food tonight was exceptional, and my experience unparalleled , .in that great way when life occasionally makes the ordinary extraordinaryPeople worth knowing, food worth tasting, and a small business worth supporting. ITALIA ON THE ROAD.Dinner is served (see photo).Buon appetito.“

“We took advantage of their 4 for $40 meal deal and were not disappointed. That bowl of spaghetti conquered us and there were leftovers to go! Our servers are always pleasant and knowledgable about the menu and the food is delivered in a very timely fashion! We love Buca di Beppo!“

“Always a delicious experience, whether you are ordering a sandwich or lunch special or buying some deli items out of the case - like an antipasta salad. YUM! It gets busy during lunch time, but the line moves quickly. Try the meatball sandwich.“

“We went there for my girlfriend‘s birthday and I have to say it was pretty spectacular. We had a drink at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and accommodating. The hostess came and sat us down when we were ready to be seated. Our waiter was well informed and told us about all of the specials. We didn’t want for anything. Everything was delivered to our table on time we weren’t rushed. Everything was delicious and well prepared. The food is very very good. Amazing actually. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody.“

“My friend and I waited and waited for the dine in to open again after the pandemic! It was worth the wait. We celebrated her birthday on Thursday 7/13 and were not disappointed. The service was great, kind and friendly staff. The food outstanding as always and the wine superb. Last but not least, my all time favorite, the Tiramisu, the best ever, authentic and delicious! Thrilled to have my fav Italian restaurant open again! Your Biggest Fan!!“

“Great Pizza too!!!I have been ordering several time since they opened in my neighborhood and recently they add the Pizza. They did not go wrong!!!This little pick up location does an amazing job. I hope they achieve their goal one day and I can seat at their restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free option and vegan chicken too!!Parking: Across the local there is a free parkingKid-friendliness: They have egg free meatballs and really light pizza“

“I got the goddaughter sandwich on soft bread, the spicy penne pasta (that came with a piece of garlic bread) and a margherita pizza. I came to this deli because my favorite one in LB was closed and I'm so glad I did. It's menu is flavorful, fresh, and affordable. Do yourself a favor and order anything or everything off their menu. Give them some time, they make everything fresh.“

“I have been going here for years. Pizza is the best in town, the owner and staff are very nice people and it’s worth every penny because they make the most high caliber pizza that is made. There’s no skimping on toppings and the cheese is real cheese! I’m a very loyal customer and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best pizza in town!“

“I've been a customer here for years, and it's always been good, but the last few times I've noticed they've upped their game considerably. My wife and I have tried just about every restaurant from Long Beach to El Segundo and have always searched for a good steak. Most of the time it's been just meh, ok at best. We always order a filet, and last night tried it at Zane's. Hands down the best filet Mignon I've ever had! My wife, who is even more critical than myself, also agreed. It's funny because places that tout themselves as a steak house don't come close to Zane's for a filet. Not to mention it is served with a side, not as an extra cost, which most restaurants charge for. The atmosphere is great, and is perfect for people watching as well.“

“Owner was awesome. My kids prepared a surprise party at their patio for my wife's birthday 2 weekends ago but unfortunately, it rained. She was very accommodating to moved the party indoors. She mingled with guests, checking occasionally if everybody's needs are met. We will definitely be back for lunch or dinner. That ambiance of hospitality is rarely found these days in most restaurants.“

“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“

“I came here on a Saturday afternoon around 2-3 pm. My server was Deborah, and she was very attentive and awesome. I hope to meet her as a server again. Additionally, this young gentleman with glasses (forgot to ask his name) that stood at the front desk came to check up on me while dining. He even apologized for mispronouncing my name wrong, which was totally fine! I will be back since I live nearby and is a HUGE fan of Olive Garden. Thank you for the great service :)“
