32 Best Italian Restaurants near Belleview

“I love your food and service! Any chance of opening another location closer to the retirement community of On Top of the World on Highway 200 in Ocala? There are several thousand people there, many of whom would love your food and prices but don't like the 1/2 hr. drive there. Hope to hear back from you!!“

“I have lived in Belleview for 5 years and recently started frequently eating at riccardos. it started with their Philly cheese and fries for lunch. The best local Philly and one of the best national Philly! Then I tried the two for $36 chicken parmasan which was so delicious the next day I ordered the lasagna, then the next the spaghetti. I consider it the best pizza in America. I have lived in 15 states and have traveled them all including Alaska, I coukdnt find an Italian place there. Riccardos is a historical staple to Belleview offering jobs to local teens and young adults and everyone in between, the wait staff becomes a family extension and the place has the aroma of a true Italian pizzeria, the seafood is a whole other topic, super fresh and delicious every meal. the bartenders are fabulous and knowledgeable. I always recommend Riccardos over any of their competition, especially down the road riccardos is waaaay more authentic!“

We all ordered different things from eggplant, chicken cutlet Parmesan, shrimp scampi, pizza, chicken franchise every single meal was absolutely delicious. The salad with the best honey mustard always great and the pasta Fabiola is to die for oh and so is the Italian bread. It was a great time being together with fabulous food to eat. We all can’t wait to go back which will be very soon.“

“Carissa (or Cece) gave our table exceptional service. At first a gentleman sat us and said “he’s giving us his 5th favorite server” which confused me and was expecting terrible service but if I’m honest, she should be top on their list. But no doubt there’s plenty elsewhere who would value exceptional service if not appreciated. Thank you again for taking the time to go over the menu- must try the seafood bucatini ⭐“

“My husband and I were there today (3/14/26) everything was exceptional, the food was great and came out hot. The best thing was our waiter. I don’t remember his name, but he was on loaner from Inverness due to short staffing. He was so polite, even a little bit of a comedian and was very good at his job. It was a pleasure to have been seated at his table. If you can’t give him a raise, then please give him a shout out and an acknowledgement! Thank you“
