8 Best Italian Restaurants near Crystal River

“Authentic Italian! Fresh ingredients! Friendly service! Homemade pastas! I will be back again!“

“The only reason I give it a 1 is because the Lasagna was good. Otherwise, it would get a 0 because of the way this arrogant owner treats his customers. Aside from being made to wait at the entrance while he clearly noticed us before finally coming over and saying “Whadda ya want?”, it would take too long to describe his confrontational attitude in response to simply asking about the Lasagna for takeout for four people. You also have to know that you will likely be overcharged. The menu says for $1.99, you can get a salad as a side with an entree. We ordered four salads with the Lasagnas and were charged $5.99 for each…a $16.00 overcharge. I don’t know how he stays in business being so rude and dishonest. We will never go back.“

“Worked all day last thing I wanted to do was cook. Pulled up to Hungry Howie's and ordered two large one toppings to go a pepperoni with sesame crust and my personal favorite a plain cheese with Cajun crust. Both were made fresh and delicious. My cheese pizza was one of the best I ever had at Howie's. Keep up the great work guys you deserve these 5 stars 😏“

“We ordered a $32 bottle of wine and expecting a cork at least and we got a $10 bottle which was double checked at Walmart with a screw cap. We ordered shrimp scampi expecting large shrimp as shown in their picture and what we got was tiny little defrosted frozen shrimp. The sauce on it was scarce and Bland. I asked the waitress to hold the meal until we ate our salad and that did not happen. It was all brought out like they were in a hurry to get rid of us. We never had our water refilled. The owner said that I was rude because I talked to him about it. The garlic rolls were so hard I could not bite into them. I told the brother that his mother would roll over in her grave if she saw what he was serving for rolls. Now I know why the parking lot is empty during dinner. Dine at your own risk. I don't do many negative reviews but this one was deserved.“

“Fabulous NY/NJ style pizza. Food is wonderful with a staff to match. It's a must stop , especially for the white pizza.“

“They are close and they are delicious!“

“ordered a Sicilian pizza for delivery and it was burnt on the bottom. Will not order from them again.manager said that's the way he cooks them all the time.“

“Better then the other franchise! Nice folks work there very friendly!“
