24 Best Italian Restaurants in Tallahassee

“McKenna was amazing and the food was so yummy! ❤️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My wife and I came here to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and taken care of. Our server, Sarah, was the definition of professional and attentive—she made sure everything was just right. The food was absolutely delicious and authentically Italian, the wine paired perfectly, and the atmosphere was cozy and romantic. Top-notch service all around. Highly recommend this gem for any special occasion or a great night out! 🇮🇹🍷🍝“

“Love the food and service was excellent! The only concern I had was the hostess just pointed to the table she wanted us to sit at….did not take us to the table, we were the only ones wanting to be seated. As the evening progressed, she sat some, pointed to the table to others.“

“omgosh amazing food and service. had the pork duo, braises beef ribs, crab cakes, and bread with herb infused oil. definitely a 10/10 in our books. it's not a quick eating place takes about 1.5-2 hours and price is up there so sharing maybe an option especially with what we had but glad we chose our own meals instead of sharing.“

“Fantastic italian food....best in Tallahassee by far. We dined in for lunch. Portion sizes huge and delicious. Our new favorite spot“

“This is my first time being here because my daughter goes to Florida State. She suggested this place and was told about this place from two of her friends. The food here is amazing. I had to tuxedo striped lobster ravioli, and this dish was so delightful. I wish I could take it home and eat it five days a week thank you for this enjoyable experience in every time I come to visit my daughter in Tallahassee. I will be making a stop here.“

“Stopped at the Black Radish on our way through town last week, what an absolute delight. Everything brought to our table was absolutely delicious. The focaccia bread is the best thing I have ever eaten to be sure. Service was also great. Try this place, you won’t regret it!“

“absolutely the best food i have ever had. their sauce for the stuffed shells and the garlic bread are to die for. 100% recommend“

“Only thing I found ! Chicken in tour of Italy salty and dry! Still ok! Employees coming few minutes before opening not a good idea! Should be at least 15 with pay so they are ready when doors open !“

“My first time there yesterday evening for my Dad's birthday dinner. Great authentic food that is freshly prepared. Our server was absolutely wonderful and attentive. When I visit Tallahassee now, I know I will definitely go back there.“

“Date night dinner with my husband. Delicious food, nice atmosphere! Great “above and beyond” service by Sevonnah!! ♥️ Huge portions and complementary bread. Already planning a return trip!“

“We were on a road trip from Indiana and the pizza was so good that we came back down for dinner!! The atmosphere at dinner was even better! Everyone was friendly and the food was amazing!!“

“Best restaurant in Tallahassee“

“Delicious! The service was great. The meats and veggies were fresh…but the bread was not great. Maybe offering a softer roll? After eating a few bites I felt like the roof of my mouth was very scraped up. It felt like I was chewing forever. I added a bit more mayo and vinegar but I don’t want to have to do that. I want to taste the meat and veggies. I would definitely go back but maybe choose a wrap or salad.“

“This was a great birthday dinner. The place is so beautiful, dinner was great, and atmosphere was very calm. Ruby was our server and she was so great and attentive and Nick (GM) was awesome and he gave me chocolate for my birthday 🥰. Photos are blurry but food was delicious“

“A special shout-out goes to Spencer and JJ, our servers, who truly made the evening exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations without ever feeling pushy. Their timing was perfect, and they made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

The food was absolutely fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish tasted like it came straight from an Italian kitchen. From the appetizers to the main courses, everything exceeded expectations. You can tell the chefs take real pride in their work.

Overall, Milano’s delivered a wonderful combination of great service, amazing food, and a cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend it, and I’ll definitely be returning soon!“

“Past couple times I ordered my food it was great and both delivery dudes (Kurt & william) have been awesome! Quick with a positive attitude! Thank you!“

“We traveled 2 1/2 hours from Alabama to Tallahassee. We found things to do downtown to add to our day. However, the main purpose of our trip was to visit this restaurant. The pizza was amazing. We went that far based on the recommendation of 2 of my Italian 🇮🇹 Army flight students at Fort Novosel (Rucker). They told us your restaurant had the most authentic Italian 🇮🇹 style pizza they had found within 3 hours of Fort Novosel. I fully agree with their assessment. The pizza was nearly identical to what we ate in Naples, Italy 🇮🇹 6 years ago. We look forward to visiting again in the future. Maybe when we go back, it will be warmer so we can enjoy more of Tallahassee. BTW, for those in other reviews that complained about the crust being nearly paper thin, that is how it is in Italy 🇮🇹. This restaurant aims to make authentic Italian pizzas. If that is not what you are looking for, you need to find an American 🇺🇸 style pizza restaurant.“

“I'm not sure if they are the same as the Marco's In Bethlehem pa but damn it sure reminded me if home got 3 pizzas philly cheese which I loved cause of the American cheese 🔥, bbq chicken 🔥 last but not least the pepperoni magnifico kids loved it the mini cup pepperoni is classic I will definitely put this in my top 3 of pizza in tallahassee.“

“Best pie in Tallahassee. I love a number of pizza joints in town, and I had never heard of brickyard (no idea why), but it's right by the house amd I gave it a try. It is now our ONLY pizza that we get.

My son always wants to do the Dave Portnoy "1 bite" rules when rating pizza, so we ordered the specialty cheese, with crispy crust last night.

I scored it a 9.1 (my no 1 in town) and my son scored it 9.5 (his highest score ever)

Zero bend in the crust, not greasy, fantastic flavor.

Highly recommended!“

“This my regular go-to Hungry Howies and I never had any big issues, they might have not cooked the cheese all the way through or been skippy with it but on average it's good. Now on Tuesday, 02/11/25 somebody was in there who either loves their job or cares about the food they put out. They did a wonderful job, I got a large cheese/sausage with extra cheese and I requested the cheese be well-melted and they came through for your girl. Shout out to them and I hope it's a consistent thing. Thank you to whoever made my pizza!“

“This was my first time trying Hungry Howie’s, and wow — the pizza was so good, and the price was even better! I’ll admit I was a little nervous, thinking it might be like Little Caesar’s, but nope — it’s way better. The flavored crust was a total game changer!

I’m not sure if all Hungry Howie’s pizzas are this good or if it’s just this location, but the staff here really knows what they’re doing. The manager, Amber, was so nice and friendly. She recommended the Detroit-style pizza and the cheesy bread — and both were absolutely delicious, 12/10! I’m pretty sure she made them herself because they were perfect.

I can’t wait to go back next week for my Friday night pizza and to chat with Amber and the rest of the friendly team again. Highly recommend this location!“

“During Covid 19 currently in September HH has drive-thru carryout or delivery available. My go to locations are on W. Pensacola Street or Blair Stone Road near Southwood. The pizzas are always delicious!“
