8 Best Italian Restaurants near Riverview

“The food was a 10/10, especially the grilled chicken—seriously amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond. The guy at the bakery counter sang happy birthday to my sister and even added a candle to her gelato, and when we asked a dishwasher for a to-go cup, he didn’t hesitate to help. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had fun, catchy music playing. Mandola’s easily has some of the best service I’ve ever experienced, and I’ll definitely be coming back with a friend or two.“

“Hungry Howie’s has quickly become one of my go-to spots for pizza. The thing that sets them apart the most is their crust options—having so many flavors like garlic herb, ranch, and asiago makes every pizza feel customizable and different each time I order. The pizza itself is always fresh, hot, and full of flavor, with plenty of toppings and cheese that doesn’t skimp.

Beyond the pizza, their menu has a lot of variety, from oven-baked subs to salads and Howie Bread, which is always soft, buttery, and addicting. The prices are reasonable, and they often have good deals or combo specials that make it easy to feed a group without spending a ton.

Service-wise, every time I’ve ordered—whether for carryout or delivery—the staff has been friendly, quick, and accurate with my order. Delivery is usually faster than expected, and the food always arrives hot.

Overall, Hungry Howie’s delivers on taste, value, and quality. If you’re looking for a pizza place that goes beyond the typical chain with fun crust flavors and solid customer service, this is a spot worth checking out.“
