37 Best Italian Restaurants near West Melbourne

“Best pizza I have had since Sweet Tomatoes closed. Not acidic, which is hard to find. High quality ingredients. My new go-to pizza!“

“the Olive Garden is one of my favorite restaurants and this past Monday night for the first time had food that was partly inedible. I ordered the shrimp scampi which has pieces of asparagus in it. The aspargus was almost all the woody end pieces and try as I may to chew them, I could not. To my embarrassment, I ended up spitting them out on my plate. I was disappointed too because I love asparagus and that's one of the reasons I'm drawn to that dish. Hopefully this won't happen again. Dottie Rudolf“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at a local pizza restaurant and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the aroma of fresh pizza filled the air. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that my dining experience was top-notch. Now, onto the main event - the pizza itself. It was absolutely delicious! The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the combination of the tangy tomato sauce with the savory cheese and pepperoni. Overall, I highly recommend this pizza restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a welcoming environment. I will definitely be returning soon for another slice (or two) of their amazing pizza! By the way, they are absolutely welcoming and inviting to those with special needs, like my son. They also support our local schools/community!“

“Great pizza. We got the pepperoni and the meat lovers and both were really good.“

“EXCELLENT food, DELICIOUS pizza and PHENOMENAL service. My family and I were visiting relatives in the area and we’d driven 3 hours from our home, so we were famished and needed to eat something before our drive back home. We ordered pizza (with spinach, mushroom, artichoke), meatballs, and Greek salad, and everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was also incredibly friendly and punctual. As someone who’s been living in Boston/the Northeast area, I can confirm that this is true New York pizza, with a staff that takes pride in its work.“

“Finally got to try Trattoria Bella after seeing so many positive posts online and they definitely live up to the hype. Fabulous food in a cozy and clean establishment. Can't wait to go back!“

“Bacco Wine Cafe- Melbourne- 5 Stars When a restaurant has been in business for 18 years, I know one of two things. It's either the only restaurant in town, or it's the best. I am here to say that Bacco Wine Cafe in Melbourne is the latter of the two. The place is run by a husband and wife team, the husband, Loris, takes care of the front while his wife, Rafaella, runs the kitchen. As the place is reservation only, we were very fortunate and grateful that Loris gave us a table. He said we arrived early enough so it wouldn't be a problem. As my eyes began to devour the choices on the menu handed to us by Loris, I thought this was sure to be an amazing meal. However, our server, Jennifer had me briefly second guessing that assumption as she came across as a zombie. Or your typical 25-year-old. She was adequate enough as she got our order right but, really seemed to just go through the motions. I ordered a three-course meal consisting of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese, the Veal Chop Alla Marsala and for dessert, I went with the Pere Cotte Al Vino Rosso. Jennifer was soon doing the zombie shuffle towards our table with a tray of culinary science concocted in the laboratory of Chef Rafaella, Ph.D. in foodology. As our gastronomical treasure was set before us, my sense of smell became overwhelmed with scrumptiousness. The odors spirling up from the plated art in wisps of steam would make a dead man salivate (which I found exceedingly ironic given the mortal condition of our server). My comestible journey began with the order of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese. Sadly, this recipe has been hacked the world over. It has been reduced to "common" food status when in reality it was the dish of nobility as traditionally it consisted of beef and fresh cream, items not easily obtainable by the commoners. Chef Rafaella reminds everybody of the true origins of this dish by elevating it once again to noble standards. She starts by making her own pasta and finishes with the freshest cuts of prime meat around and tops it all off with a homemade Bolognese sauce that recalled to mind one of the nicknames of the city it hails from, "la grassa" or "the fat" in reference to the city's culinary mastery. After literally licking the plate clean (thatsa some sauce!), I directed my appetite towards the Veal Chop Alla Marsala. As my loyal followers know, this is my "barometer" for measuring a good Italian eatery. The Veal was obviously USDA Prime as it was so tender it practically melted on the palate. The mushrooms were fresh cut (YAY!) and Chef Rafaella really took it to the next level by using shaved garlic in her sauce. Served with riced garlic mashed potatoes and bedded atop a bevy of market fresh veggies this was truly a dish from a chef at the top of her game. However, Rafaella's chef-d'oeuvre this evening was her take on the classic Pere Cotte Al Vino Russo. What can I say about this delicious masterpiece of dessert? Was it perfect? Was it divine? Everything falls short. The pear was cooked unerringly to perfection and the red wine reduction sauce was out of this world. A dollop of fresh cream was the exclamation point to a fabulous meal.

“Phenomenal sandwiches. Nice fresh bread, generous portions of meat, the flavors are outstanding.“

“We had an awesome experience here! We actually came because we just moved to town and they offered a free large 1-topping pizza through our mail welcoming us to the neighborhood. The pizza was probably one of the best we’ve had in a while. The crust was crispy and not floppy. It wasn’t overly greasy, and it was perfect. Our server was outstanding, I believe her name was Ezra and she was the only waitress. She was on top of it. She got busy there for a while, serving tables and doing to-go orders, and she still had our food out in a timely fashion. Everything was piping hot, the salads were delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“Best pizza in the world.

“Napoli Pizza N Pasta- Beachside Melbourne- 4- stars. "The thing that keeps a business ahead of the competition is excellence in execution." -- Tom Peters As we regularly dine at Napoli's I figured it was high time I proferred up a review all professional and like. Located on the beach-side of Melbourne (not to be confused with Melbourne Beach), tucked somewhat beside Walmart is where one will find this gem of a regular eating establishment. As part of the Slice family of Pizza joints, one would expect them to be cookie-cutter production in all they spew forth from the oven, but that is not the case here. As I have mentioned over and over it's all about execution people. As this is one of my go-to spots for a quick Italian-American meal, I was well known to the staff and was greeted like family. I asked my server for a Sausage and Broccoli Rabe sub sandwich, an order of Fettuccine Alfredo and one mushroom pizza. To be honest, I did not know that they were part of the Slice Pizza group, but that does explain the quality of their ingredients. While they are not bottom of the barrel type, they are not top-shelf either, but rather stuck firmly in the entry-level area. What does that mean? If one uses USDA grades as an example, think Standard which is one step up from Canner grade and two steps down from Prime. One would think with standard grade ingredients the victuals would taste sub-par. One bite into the Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Sub and I immediately knew that was not the case. For starters, while they may use standard grade everything else, they make their own bread in the back and it is awesome. This bread was the perfect sandwich roll with a slight break to the crust, a nice tear in the bread and a wonderful chewiness that was indeed scrumptious. Now, you put a well-prepared rabe on just about anything and I am scarfing it down. I just love that stuff and this was executed flawlessly. As if that wasn't enough, the spicy Italian Sausage just sent this over the top. It was cooked to perfection and just spicy enough to slap your taste buds around with a hearty, "Hey, Youse guys! Wake up!" Next up on my epicurean journey was their Fettuccine Alfredo. The fettuccine was cooked to the perfect al dente and very flavorful all by its self. Now, you smother perfectly cooked and tasty Fettuccine with a tangy Alfredo sauce and you are speaking my language. This incredibly creamy sauce had a nice tang to it that gave it a nice finish on the palate. I know the sauce is from a can, but with this execution, it was as if the sauce had participated in an act of Hypergamy. Staying with the theme of execution, we come to the final item to be sampled, the Mushroom Pizza. The mushrooms may have come out of a huge can along with the sauce, but their dough is original and incredible. Like the bread, it is obviously made fresh on-site and it is some of the tastiest pizza dough I have ever had. It is like no other I have experienced. The perfect thickness, the perfect amount of crunch to chew ratio and the flavor was truly unique. As with the previous items, as I have said time and time again, this pizza was made with industrialized toppings, yet executed flawlessly and so tasted extraordinary. The Big Boy says, "If you're beach side and looking for a friendly family type atmosphere with exceptionally executed eateries, stop by Napoli's you won't be disappointed." #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“

“The food is good and the servers are very friendly. The service is better when they are busy.“

“I have been coming to the Melbourne wagon wheel Pizza location since I was a little kid. I grew up in Melbourne right off Post road not too far from there. Their pizza has always been good with big slices, it's really like comfort food pizza Big cheesy greasy goodness. Their lunch menu is great for when me and my company go to lunch, Good prices and good options other than just pizza like different kinds of pasta, chicken tenders, etc.
I've always loved this place and it's always been a great place for lunch, dinner or take out.“

“Was tasty but pomadoro sauce is light large chunks of fresh tomatoes with garlic pieces olive oil and basil. I got meat sauce. Tried to tell waitress. She ignored me while racing around. Unfriendly nit personable. Meatballs good. Waited an hour for dinner. Too long. Pomadoro is what it is. Theyvshoukdcgetvtheircsauces correct. Was disappoibted“

“Excellent food and service!! Loved the bakery selections as well!! Definitely will return☺️☺️“

“pizza, italian sub and garlic knots all great“

“great food, and the owner is very nice, he always prepared something for you if you have some special diets great person.“

“We ordered a whole Bacon & Light Jalapeño well done (some black on the bottom).
Since I asked for very light Jalapeño the chef was thinking enough to ask me if I’d prefer it chopped up and very little!
You know what that’s like?! That’s amazing, I’ve ordered the exact same pizza from 7-8 places over a couple years and he’s the first one to make the order the way I asked! All of the others said, yup, no problem, light chopped jalapeño and there are dozens of slices that I have to pick off by hand. Amazing!
It took about 17-18 minutes and was very, very good. Nice dough flavor, sauce was perfect, good cheese and amount of cheese and done as requested.“

“I like very much this Pizzeria, tasty food and variety.“

“Great pizza horrible customer service skills. All the reviews about the staff are true unfortunately. I would recommend bizarro’s unless you don’t mind dealing with disrespectful staff.“
