25 Best Italian Restaurants in Norwalk

“What an amazing experience! The food is delicious, our waiter was super attentive and offered some very tasty recommendations. We visited for Dinner, it was a little hectic and we didn’t have reservations but the waiter and hostess (which happens to be the owner) made us feel special, and even addressed us by our names. We had the chicken parm with fettuccine pesto, the swordfish (DELICIOUS) and the artichokes florets - everything was amazing!!!! What called my attention to the restaurant is the name, as my daughter’s name is Josie, they made her feel so special (THANK YOU) .. We will definitely be visiting again to try their sandwiches!!!“

“We tried their pizza for the first time. Ordered a margarita pizza. It was delicious and unbelievably fresh and the dough was incredible. We’ve tried most pizza places in our area. This was definitely the best“

“We had multiple events at the Watershed hotel and Siena Norwalk (part of hotel) during the weekend of June 13 - June 15 2025, all associated with my daughter’s wedding. Brandon specifically, but also his entire team, were absolutely amazing with incredible customer service. On Friday, we had a large group of 75+/- at the rooftop patio/bar. Even with the rain threatening, Brandon was patient and waited until last minute before we were able to make a decision to have it outside. It all worked out great thanks to him and team. On Saturday, the team hosted 100+ people at Siena and the bartenders kept all happy with quick service and the served pizzas kept all nice and full. Finally, Brandon and team assisted with a great breakfast set-up. Anything that popped up over the weekend was handled professionally and easily by the team. Highly recommend Siena and the Watershed for any events with many people. Great attention to detail and communication was perfect.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We had Calamari, Veal Romano and Chicken Parm. All three dishes were some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The service was excellent. There was not one negative thing at our visit.“

“Incredible food and amazing service. We loved the relaxed atmosphere; when you walk in, you immediately get bread and salad and at the end of the meal we got a little cup of gelato. Nino took my allergies into account which I really appreciate!“

“Good place to celebrate 🎉“

“The best in Norwalk for sure, great ambience, food & service is A+“

“I had a very nice meal tonight at Valentino's. I normally spend my monthly overnight for work in Stamford but decided to give Norwalk a try. Other then the price the meal was spectacular! Started off with some clams casino and the moved on to some veal saltambucca. Both were delicious but I couldn't afford do go here on a regular basis.“

“As usual amazing pizza and garlic knots and friendly service. We'll definitely be back. #1 🍕.“

“Wow ! Loved this restaurant’s food. We started with the bruschetta and fried calamari. Our friends had the clam casino. Everyone loved their food. It’s just classic Italian and the portions are generous. I loved my clam pasta with white sauce and my husband had the fradia vol pasta. His pasta was spicy but so delicious. Their tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever had. Check out this spot!“

“Giacomo's just catered for us at stop and shop and all I can say is awesome!!! not only was the food great the customer service was exceptional!!! will definitely be using them again!!!!!“

“Best coffee, tasty food for breakfast and lunch. Great catering“

“Best pizza in the area!!!“

“This restaurant is truly a hidden gem, offering an unforgettable dining experience in a beautiful, inviting setting. The pasta dishes are made with the freshest ingredients, bursting with flavor and crafted with the perfect balance of textures. Each pizza is a masterpiece—crispy, perfectly charred crust topped with savory, high-quality ingredients that transport you straight to Italy. And don't even get me started on the desserts—they're the perfect finale to an incredible meal, with treats like creamy tiramisu and rich chocolate desserts that will leave you craving more.“

“Cute little pizza restaurant. Staff are so nice. Plus the pizza is AMAZING. One of the best pizzas I have. Do note that they accept cash only. But I 100% recommend you stop by for a slice. We had the chicken parm and cheese slice. So delicious!“

“Great pizza spot in Norwalk“

“We love everything from here ..I recommend it 100%“

“myself and my family been coming forever and never get disappointed“

“The food was excellent.“

“The CBR pizza is out of this world. The first time I went in there my boyfriend & I bought a few different slices to try & they were all good but the CBR was def our fave. The slices are a generous size & price too. I like really thin & thick crust pizza. Classica is a happy medium between the two - prob more on the thin side & has the perfect amount of crunch (it doesn’t crack & fall apart when you take a bite like some thin crust pizzas do). We LOVE Classica Pizza!! 🍕❤️“

“Always an amazing experience very friendly staff ❤️“

“This place is a haven for Greek pizza enthusiasts! The flavors are simply outstanding. Don't miss out on the incredible Pella salad, which comes in a delightful bread bowl. And guess what? They even offer their delectable salad dressing for purchase in bottles. A must-visit.“

“I really love this restaurant. I've been 3 times and they have been consistent with such friendly and attentive staff, their sauce is fantastic! I'm gluten free and am hooked on the pasta Primavera. My mom has had soup and salad, ravioli and penne and meatballs. Haven't been disappointed with anything. Sundays they have a great band from 12-3. We really have good things all around to say about it.

Parking: Big lot

Kid-friendliness: Many gluten free options“

“Slice of Italy became my main restaurant to go to for any good meal. Their food is just perfect.
The Arepas, Patacones and my favorite Un Pepito mixto. Their customer service is like no other. And the price is just right. Slice of Italy keep it up and thank you for bringing the best taste of your kitchen to our table.“

“Friendly staff and good food…not just the pizza. 😉 Their deserts are top notch.“
