30 Best Italian Restaurants near Erie

“Great vibes inside, tasty food, Ghostbusters Pinball, what’s not to love? In addition to The pinball machine they have a Neo-Geo cabinet and a Crusin USA cabinet, giving you plenty to do while you wait for your food. The wait may be a while as this is a smaller restaurant, but the food is worth waiting for.“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere.“

“The food was great but the service and atmosphere was even better!“

“We recently held our son's and our new daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner at Parma Trattoria & Mozzarella Bar and every detail was perfect! Emilio and Mike provided helpful guidance every step along the way and ensured that our event went smoothly. We had a large party (44 people) and they recommended that we hold our event in the heated patio area for more privacy which was a great call. Our amazing servers Julie and Ilona are top notch and didn’t miss a beat. From helping us set up/decorate the tables to taking our orders to promptly serving/clearing dishes after each course to ensuring that no one waited for beverages, their service was flawless! And the food! Everyone raved about how delicious each dish was. I forgot to take photos of all my dishes but included a few to show how beautiful/tasty they look/are! It's hard to pick a favorite dish since we ordered just about everything on the menu and it was all delicious! Great cocktails and wine list too! A special callout to our new in-laws (the Francas and the Englishs of Thornton) for recommending Parma! We highly recommend Parma Trattoria & Mozzarella Bar and their talented/customer focused team for their delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and outstanding service!“

“I love this place! The staff is great, there's a pleasant atmosphere, and as a connoisseur of pizza. They serve THE best pizza! The dough is crispy and the cheese is gooey. I don't get to eat here as often as I'd like, but whenever I do, the experience is always great. And if you want a delicious yet outrageous pizza. Ask for the "Mike Hogan" Pizza, just a disclaimer it's about a $40+ pizza and also some employees might know what you are talking about some might not.“

“Delicious! I dined alone and thoroughly enjoyed my dinner with a couple glasses of prosecco! Spaghetti and meatballs- classic It’s how I judge an Italian restaurant; if I don’t like their sauce I won’t be back. No worries! Perfect pasta and sauce! Tender delicious meatballs! Tiramisu (that I didn’t have room for) rounded out my meal. I recommend Carciofi and when I’m in Colorado again, I’d like to dine here again! Chi mangia bene!“

“Came to lunch with family. Service was incredibly slow and the restaurant wasn't half-full. The food was fine - pasta dishes were much better than the sandwich one table member ordered. Overall, I was disappointed. We arrived at noon, our lunch order wasn't taken until 12:30 and I had to leave to return to work before our dessert arrived. I wouldn't recommend this place for working professionals until 2 hours lunches are your norm.“

“We had dinner here for the first time Friday evening and everything was top notch - the food was excellent, the beer selection was unique and plentiful, and the service was outstanding - from the friendly hosts who greeted and sat us, to our amazing server, Zach! Zach helped us with recommendations on food and drinks, and was attentive, helpful, and fun! We had rhe Pear & Fig Pizza, Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad, and the Braised Beef Sandwich. Everything was soooo delicious. (The braised beef sandwhich is heavenly!) This is NOT your average pub/brewery food! Our kids loved their food, too! All around, an excellent experience, and we will definitely be back!!!“

“I have missed pizza the most since being glutenfree. Pizza is now on my menu. Crust is just so delicious. Thank you for excellent pizza!“

“Bucatino was recommended by our friends. This is truly a great find and see ourselves being regulars. We were there early, so some of us took advantage of the happy hour menu. Everything tasted fresh from the pomodoro to the colognes. Also, excellent tiramisu!“

“Absolutely amazing food. I had a great date tonight and I was so glad that we were able to be at your restaurant. Great chicken scallopini with mushrooms and great red wine :-). Our waiter was outstanding!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed the buffet of delicious food catered by Cimmini’s at their family wedding this weekend. Appetizers, pasta (including gluten free) and desserts were outstanding.“

“Stopped by for happy hour on a Saturday and had a great experience. They have a ton of options at fairly reasonable prices.
We tried the butternut squash arancini and funghi pizza, both of which were delicious. The free bread that they give you also was super tasty.
Favorite drink was the basilico, though the house pinot grigio was also great. I wasn't as much of a fan of the sangria di cristo, but it wasn't bad.“

“Olive Garden is always a solid choice when you're craving classic Italian-American comfort food. The breadsticks and salad are fresh and never-ending—definitely a highlight! I had the Chicken Alfredo and it was creamy, flavorful, and generously portioned. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

It’s not fine dining, but it’s consistent, affordable, and great for casual outings or family dinners. I’d definitely come back!“

“Pomegranate martini, Montepulciano, papardelle, sauce and tiramisu were fabulous. I'll be back!“

“1st time eating here. Took my daughter out for a daddy, daughter date. And the food was fantastic! My daughter hates marinara sauce. And absolutely killed their homemade marinara! Service was great and a nice, cozy atmosphere! Highly recommend giving them a try!“

“Service was on point … a simple glance at a staff member was enough to bring them over to check on our needs . That added to a great menu, delicious food and great company made this birthday dinner truly pleasurable! Grade A“

“Mici's is great. I recently had to call MIci's because I hadn't received my order and discovered that it was listed as delivered. I have mobility issues and couldn't go around the neighborhood to find it so the manager sent one of his employees to my house to find the order for me. They were pleasant, kind, and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my order was taken care of. Mici's gave me such good customer service, and I am so thankful to have them in my neighborhood.“

“Layla and Chris were both excellent. Between them, I felt like I was at a full-service restaurant, and they were extremely attentive to anything we needed. We ended up being a little difficult (not on purpose), and they handled every question and request with grace and prompt service.“

“Our family’s favorite spot in Longmont! The Detroit style pizza is best in CO hands down. Get the one with all the arugula and prosciutto. Soooo good!! Salads are great too. Highly recommend.“

“Best Pizza in Colorado, Hands Down!“

“I cannot say enough about the incredible experience I had with Sliceworks in Thornton. As a member of the West Ridge Elementary PTA, I’m always looking for ways to celebrate our hardworking teachers and staff. With National Pizza Day approaching, I hoped to partner with a local pizzeria to treat them—but with a limited budget, I wasn’t sure what was possible. From the moment I reached out, the Sliceworks team went above and beyond. They immediately connected me with their manager, Mike, who responded quickly, asked what we needed, and said he’d see what he could do. Within days, he reached back out—not with hesitation or conditions, but with generosity. He was all in. Despite being overwhelmed that day, handling orders from other schools, and even dealing with a no-call no-show, Mike and his team delivered exactly what he promised—exceptional service and even better food. Our staff was absolutely blown away, not just by the quality of the pizza but by the kindness and dedication behind it. Sliceworks isn’t just a pizza place; it’s a business that cares. You can feel it in the way they serve their customers and taste it in every bite. We won’t be going anywhere else for pizza in the future, and we cannot wait to continue supporting and partnering with such an outstanding team. The world needs more businesses like Sliceworks—and more people like Mike.“

“From start to finish, our experience was great. Staff are very attentive making sure we had anything we needed. Food exceeded our expectations and is on par with NJ diners. Flavorful, cooked well, and generous portions. We left feeling happy and full. Would definitely come back if we're in CO in the future.“

“I have celiac and have a hard time finding really good GF pizza. My family and I got pizza to take home and I had to call to make sure they made it with GF dough because it was THAT GOOD! I’m so used to GF pizza tasting like card board but this place is AMAZING! My husband couldn’t even tell the difference! I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAMA MEADS!❤️“

“Bina the owner was very welcoming, had lots of choices and the restaurant was very family friendly. Great, quick pizza.“

“This is the BEST and ONLY authentic Chicago style Deep Dish around. This is way better than Giordano’s downtown, and you don’t have to step over homeless people or drug dealers to eat here.

It’s a quaint place to dine-in, but they offer carry-out as well (although the deep dish is best eaten dine-in). They also have an outdoor patio. Unlike most restaurants, the friendly owners (Upi and Angel) are actually there, on-site, to maintain quality and take your order with a smile. Great place“

“This place has the best sour dough pizza and the toppings are high quality. Jess was our server and she was so nice and attentive. I recommend going a little early because they get packed quickly. When you go, you have to try the cinnabombs for dessert.“

“Great! We had our food delivered and the guy was early (less than 45 minutes per our order). He was handing the food to my husband and he dropped the food. He apologized so many times said that he was going to make it right and have our order remade. Most places would have dusted the food off and called it good. He came back in a flash and was super nice. The pizza was large and amazing. The toppings are big and yummy. The ranch is delicious! We also got the garlic cheese things - amazing. Maybe more cheese if possible but still amazing The wings— eh. My husband said they tasted like they were microwaved. Besides that this is our new favorite place.“

“We stopped to try their Italian food ( Pasta and calzones ;we are not into pizza).

The food was great. We initially wanted to be seated indoors, but it was very loud. Very loud. Fortunately the patio was nice. The temperature had dropped to a pleasant range and the wind was not too bad. We just needed to watch napkins, etc.“
