21 Best Italian Restaurants in Lakeland

“Intimate fine Italian dining. The staff is great and the food is amazing.“

“everything is absolutely delicous and the service is top notch“

“My husband and I were blown away by this hidden gem of Lakeland. We went out on a date for the 1st time in months after I gave birth to our second child. This really added to the excitement. The food was absolutely delicious. We were given bread for the table. Ordered a crab cake to start. Then my husband had the lobster ravioli, while I had the special of the day; tenderloin with mashed potatoes and green beans. The food was savory and left me wanting to taste more, but I was very satisfied to the point that I didn't have room for dessert. Next time I will! The atmosphere was quaint, intimate, and lovely. Our host was on point and ready to assist at the right times. We will definitely return and tell EVERYONE.“

“Tonight was our first time eating here, it was more than fantastic. The pizza was far best that we’ve had here in Lakeland. Fantastic crust, we had sausage and mushrooms. Oh, I just can’t say enough about Primos. I can’t wait to go back. We met the owner and his daughter. They were so pleasant, you just have to give it a try.“

“everything was amazing , pizza is the best, spaghetti is omg, delicious. Benny and Anna are fantastic people. this is a weekly trip. I'll be taking my craft group there very soon.“

“Went for a nice and simple birthday dinner. Party of 9 I believe and was enjoyable! Haven't had Italian in a while and had pizza and tidbits of other plates (apparently if the party won't eat I'm the fat guy to be given some of there stuff....) tiramisu and chocolate cake was good (there it is)“

“You can’t go wrong with Palace! Wonderful delicious food and great service by Jason!“

“We just had soup and salad, sat at the bar. We got our drinks, took like 10 mins to get a straw. Got our delicious cuppa toscano soup and salad. Then another 10 mins before someone else went and got us silverware!! And she was just stocking the bar, not a waitress. Ours was very inattentive, talking to others and such. I did not get her name, but it was unusual for an Olive Garden employee. We don't get to go often as we don't have one near us. So other than that, the food was amazing as always.“

“We eat lunch at Carrabba‘s quite frequently. Our experience there is always wonderful and the food is fantastic. Jose or waiter is fantastic. He seems to read your mind and those exactly what to bring them not to bring. We would highly recommend Jose for your waiter.“

“Madz was our waitress and she was amazing. Very intent on making our dining experience unforgettable. I've never had this level of attention at any other Olive Garden. The only negative was the breadsticks were not fresh. Other than that every thing was great.“

“Pizza was great lots of options for pizza by the slice also has a great menu of subs also. My favorite was the Chocolate Cannoli. The staff was fantastic service was great. The restaurant has a good crowd and everyone looked like they were enjoying the food. A definite must go back the next time that I am on the area.“

“I'm vegan and the staff does a great job making sure there's no dairy or meat in my food. I've been here multiple times and have introduced several of my friends to this restaurant and they all really like it. I usually get the minestrone soup and pasta primavera, but they have this delicious bread and red pepper/oil dipping sauce. I feel like I could just go there and drink some wine and fill up on the bread! They also have a great wine menu. My boyfriend loves the chicken marsala. Highly recommended! I'll be back again the next time I'm in the area :)“

“THANK YOU JORDAN FOR COMPASSION AND CARE. FULL REVIEW ON YELP❤️“

“A new favorite date night spot. Service was outstanding. Megan our waitress was fantastic. All the food was delicious, from the wine, appetizers, salads, soups, sea scallops, and crème brûlée. I have nothing negative to say about this place. We will definitely be making it a regular pick for date nights. See you soon Bay Street Bistro.“

“Great food definitely recommend“

“We ordered delivery for the first time from Cicala's (have done pick up several times) through their website! I've never had pizza actually show up when they give the delivery time but it did with them, down to the minute. Delicious, hot and all items ordered were included with no issues.

Will definitely order again. Delicious.“

“always great pizza ! and the turbo crust is awesome!“

“I'm a truck driver this is second time delivery a load in the Lakeland area and Howie Pizza delivers pizza to both area I was in. And Mrs Brenda took my order and was outstanding with my order I'll order from them again when I'm in the Lakeland “

“The staff were welcoming. My husband is from Brooklyn, NY and he rated their Ny style pizza an 8.5 out of 10. The cheese pull was insane. We ordered the large pie half pepperoni and half sausage. He does prefer the pepperoni over the sausage.“

“We have ordered salads multiple times. They are wonderful! There is some real attention to detail in Stadium Pizza salads and they are delicious. We love them.“
