50 Best Italian Restaurants near Manalapan

“Outstanding service, atmosphere, and live music !! Every dish was stupendous! 👏👏👏👏“

“My son and I had lunch at Mister and it was extraordinary. We started with the Greta salad: the lettuce was fresh and the cucumbers, olives, and cheese were amazing. the dressing was flavorful and it was light and fresh. The margherita pizza was awesome. The crust was extremely crispy and thin and the cheese was perfect too. The basil and tomato sauce finished off the flavor to make this a positive experience. We had the Nutella Pizza and it was the most amazing treat; nutella and an excellent crust that we have never tasted before! Just awesome; We can't wait to return again to experiment a different pizza! return soon.“

“Amazing!! we loved everything.“

“4 of us had dinner at Belle and Maxeell’s Saturday night, May 28, 2022. This was our 2nd visit. It won’t be our last. As before, the food was extraordinary. Unfortunately, as so many restaurants, right now, they were severely short handed however, we truly never noticed. The servers took exceptional care of us. Topping off our meal was THE BEST RICOTTA CHEESECAKE we’ve ever eaten. Thank you Belle and Maxwell's for making my Birthday special.“

“Friday night live music makes fora fun night. The guy who sang is really good!“

“We couldn’t have been more thrilled with Rollatini Catering for our wedding! From start to finish, Victor and his team went above and beyond. They made the entire process—from the tasting to the big day—seamless and stress-free. Their kindness, attentiveness, and fun-loving attitude made us feel truly taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were fantastic all night long. What really stood out to us was how accommodating and responsive they were. They listened to every detail and were always eager to make sure everything was exactly what we envisioned. The staff even left us a surprise memory: a fun group photo from the 360 photo booth that we’ll cherish forever. It really showed the spirit and dedication of their team. Rollatini Catering is top-notch, and we felt truly spoiled by their incredible service. If you’re looking for a caterer who provides both exceptional food and outstanding service, look no further!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely amazing experience at Mamma Mia! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The staff was super friendly and professional, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely one of those places that makes you feel at home. We’ll be coming back for sure! ❤️“

“Nice local Florida chain that makes limited pasta dishes and wood fired pizza place. Daily specials. Plenty of outdoor seating, very limited indoor seating. No prices on the wine either bottles or glasses. Service was efficient. The food was good, with a very nice fresh salad and a well cooked wood fired pizza that wasn’t over sauced. We would go back to this location if the weather is conducive to eating Al fresco.“

“. I have tried many Italian restaurants in the area and Mattiello’s is the best by far. His is authentic Italian dining He is set up in a food truck on Federal with outdoor seating or takeout. The best lasagna ever!“

“The ceiling was dripping on us the entire evening..I asked servers many times .. all they did was twice came over with something to wipe off the a/c outlet.. I will hesitate to revisit this restaurant, seriously they cannot control the condensation“

“Gooood toooo beee there“

“Went here for the first time today and the service and food was amazing! I highly recommend Little Italy Pizza!“

“They have good thin crust pizza. I like the meatball, bacon, sausage & pepperoni. For my toppings, not all at once unless you like it that way. They also have good chicken parm, spaghetti & meatballs. Just some of the items I’ve tried that I can speak on. They do have a pretty full menu, 2 liters & single sodas. Lunch specials & all that good stuff. Done in & deliver in the neighborhood“

“Outstanding Italian food and wonderful service! Ask for John!“

“Buon Appetito! “Savior the Flavor”. Campi most definitely lived up to the hype. We heard so much about the new restaurant around the way at the Ray Hotel in Pineapple Grove, downtown Delray, so we had to check it out and see what all of the fuss was about. Upon entering the chic, upscale, and aesthetically appealing establishment, we were greeted at the door by two extremely friendly and personable hostesses who immediately sat us at our table. Luckily we had the good fortune of meeting Luca, one of the GM’s, as we made our way to our seat, He graciously welcomed us with a round of sparkling Rose champagne. That set the tone and mood for the evening. A mini charcuterie board consisting of italian salami, chunks of freshly cut parmesan cheese, and an assortment of olives was served along with a basket of freshly baked, hot, bread. I highly recommend dipping the bread and other items in the flavorful olive oil. Our waiter Sebastian was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the menu and made a few recommendations that were home-runs! We started with the caesar salad which was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The lettuce was cool and crisp with the perfect hint of anchovies topped with the right amount of freshly shaved parmesiana cheese. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the sweet roasted mini tomatoes which were the perfect complement. Next up we had their lasagna which is the talk of the town. It was served as pinwheels, which was unique, and the homestyle sauce, meat, and other ingredients were so flavorful. It did not disappoint. We took a few minutes to digest and then it was time for the main courses. My wife ordered the pistachio crusted salmon with pesto and our guest JB and I shared the chicken parmesan and short rib agnolotti with fresh horseradish and crispy garlic. Each and every entree was perfectly prepared and presented, and they even split the portions for us. The showstopper was definitely the agnolotti!! After dipping multiple pieces of bread in the various sauces, I finally had to wave the white napkin and surrender. Unfortunately, we had zero room for desert but promised to indulge during our next visit. We will definitely be back! It was truly a special night at this exceptional, fairly new, player to the Delray scene. Lastly, Campi certainly lived up to the reputation of its family restaurant, Campagnola (on the Upper wast side of Manhattan). We cant wait for our next meal at Campi!!

“absolutely delicious !!!“

“la bouffe est tellement bonne et le propriétaire est sympathique, je le recommande a tout le monde“

“Absolutely the best authentic Italian food I’ve ever eaten. Great friendly warm atmosphere along with great service and flavors. Chef Nino is one of the best Italian chefs in South Florida. It’s a must go to restaurant weather you are in the area or need to drive from far away you won’t be disappointed. Some of Nino’s old Italian recipes handed down from his family in Italy and some that the great Italian Chef Nino created himself, since he was born and raised in Italy he has captured the real Italian flavors and delivers to you right at the table. It’s a true Italian experience that you don’t want to miss. Five star restaurant.“

“I had dinner here last night and was absolutely blown away. The food selection was outstanding, the wine list was impressive, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Every dish had a story behind it, and the overall experience felt truly special. This place exceeded all my expectations highly recommended.“

“I can happily say, my grown children and I have been enjoying Fiorella’s delicious food for over ten years. We have eaten over a hundred meals and have never had a disappointing dining experience. Every time my children come into town, we are always going to have at least one memorable lacto-vegetarian dinner.“

“Fantastic lunch!! Thanks!“

“Dined at Rose's last night,,what an absolute delight,,now in my top 2 Italian restaurants between Boca and Delray !!! Am I am very selective“

“I’ve eaten here twice. Great. Here’s the thing about less than impressive reviews: if there’s one or two that are not great, out of 50, I don’t give them credence. No one or service is perfect for everyone all the time. Like all us, right?“

“Absolutely great from soup to gelato! Great service - thanks Kristy! We had a group of 4 for our anniversary. Mushroom soup - amazing, saltimbocca - best I've ever had, branzino(special) - amazing, chocolate gelato - incredible. We are so happy we spent our anniversary here. I'm looking forward to going back...often.“

“Great fresh pasta with a variety of pastas, sauces, and toppings - customize to your taste! Delicious and affordable - good size portions! Helpful, friendly staff! Glad we came.“

“Pizza & Ceasar Salad was Amazing“

“Been here many years and never ate there thought it was just a senior place,with cranky adults,even though i am a senior i usually don't go to that type of restaurant,,last week we ordered for delivery at avellinos,the food was great i enjoyed it,eggplant Parmigiano, and my husband had chicken marsala,and they offer your choice of side dishes,they were also very good,the delivery was asap aka delivery dudes,was prompt abd food was very hot,so all in all had a very good experience on all levels“

“been customer's of Rudi's pizza for years! has brooklyn water dough that makes a NY style crust ..delicious! Tony adds his special touch. the linguine w clam sauce is outrageous..and plenty of tiny clams..so is stuffed shells..Rudi's marinara has a bit of sweetness and tops all his dishes with flavor. my favorite house salad comes with the best balsamic house dressing I've ever tasted. and the staff, Derick, Owen and Jasmine are always polite, attentive and accommodating. Kudos all around! 5+ ☆☆☆☆☆☆“

“They raise the level of dining out to an art. The food is extraordinary. Service is excellent, friendly, not stiff in the slightest. It's like you've been invited into the home of someone with the best wine cellar in FL.“

“My experience at Olive Garden was amazing overall! A little loud but not too loud to where you can’t hear. The food was fresh and hot, the chicken gnocchi cream soup was full of flavor and the cheese ravioli was absolutely divine. The server is definitely what made it great though; He was such a gentleman, ensuring that my husband and I were comfortably seated and happy with our portions. He also sent us home with extra soup and breadsticks, I couldn’t help but call him a sweetheart before we left because his radiant personality and kindness absolutely made my rough day into an amazing one. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to sit in with a decent variety of Italian food with breadsticks to go around.“

“Service- fast and friendly
Drinks- strong and tasty
Appetizer- arincini- delicious
Entrees- lobster ravioli only had 2 small sized raviolis, little lobster, mostly shrimp; beef bolognese was 85% pasta and not enough protein
We had a great time and left satisfied, but there really were tiny amounts of protein in our entrees“

“Food and service great just wish when side of spaghetti comes out it comes with a spoon instead of always having to ask . Also cheese is nice to have put on but when two people use a lot it would be nicer to have already done and brought to table shredded.“

“The restaurant is in a great location. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while having your meal“

“We just came back from Ruoccos and what a wonderful time we had. Our dinner,appetizers and desert were absolutely delicious. This is authentic Italian food at its finest. This is the best italian food i have had since moving from Bklyn 30 yrs ago. Steve and Angela (owners) are the best tonight was my second visit and it definitely will not be my last.
