8 Best Italian Restaurants near Palmer Lake

“Bella Panini was the perfect choice for our Saturday night! We had a special occasion, so we went in at 6 on a Saturday and were sat immediately. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs while I had the Rosemary Chicken Parm with a house salad. The salad was the perfect size with a fresh and homemade basil dressing. The rosemary parm had a perfectly balanced garlic lemon cream sauce that complimented the lightly fried chicken perfectly. My husband’s meatballs were homemade and paired with the house marinara making this the best Italian dinner we have had in a minute! The cherry on top was the service by our waiter and the owner coming out to personally thank us for coming out. Definitely give yourself plenty of time to check out this little hole in the wall. Our only regret was being on a time crunch.“

“Just excellent food and great people ! We highly recommend this place !!“

“Mountinera was established by an Italian chef, bringing a true mixture of recipes from across Italy, including northern recipes I have rarely come across in American restaurants. The quality is what I would expect from a far more expensive restaurant in a large city like New York. Our waitress Kirstin was a delight. Highly recommended.“

“This pizza was made by a true artisan. The hand made crust was the real star here, coupled with ingredients of the highest caliber. Flavors so masterfully balanced and delicious that only a trip to Italy could duplicate what is offered at this hidden gem of a pizzeria! A bucket list destination for the true pizza lover.“

“Service was great! Food was great except for the Cannoli dessert - tasted stale! Steaks and Short Ribs were top notch and the brussel sprouts were awesome! cocktails and wine were very good too! I highly recommend Cansano's Steakhouse for an upscale dining experience and they have pizza too for a more casual experience.“

“I have never been a pizza person. It's fine, but I'd pretty much rather have anything else. But this pizza? I dream about it. And the dog is sad because he no longer gets the crust. Sometimes the crust gets a little charred, but I actually like that better than when it's perfectly cooked. The sauce is perfection. If you order online, be prepared to wait an extra 5 minutes. Friendly staff, clean facility, and pizza that will turn the indifferent into dreamers!“
