8 Best Italian Restaurants near Blue Ridge

“Had dinner here with a friend last night. Everything was wonderful!“

“Went in with a group of 15. Great server Karly. Organized and very professional. Took care of special dietary restrictions beautifully.
Delicious food. Most of us ordered pizzas of varying styles. I had a cheeseless personal pizza that the chef came out to review ingredients with me. Very kind. It was wonderful, flavorful.
The tortilla pizza and cauliflower pizzas looked delicious too.
The back room where they sat us was nicely decorated for the holiday, dim lighting soothing.
Clean bathroom. Wine was good and the beer served in frosted pints or mugs.“

“What a great place to eat! The salad bar is fresh with so many options. The pizza is the best. 5 STARS“

“Visited twice in September. Food and service were very good. Great atmosphere.“

“This review is specifically about the La Pizzeria next to Cucina Rustica (see my other reviews for the main restaurant). Very happy with the La Pizzeria. Food is the same as the formal main restaurant but much more affordable & casual. Very good for Sunday after church restaurant. Went with my wife but the menu seems perfect for families with children & they had several tables for big groups. Meatball sub was tasty & chicken Alfredo had large portions & was clearly made fresh. Most entrees are $11-$15 with some closer to $20.“

“We came in on a Monday afternoon and ordered. Our server was Rylie and she was wonderful. Got our drinks and about 5 minutes later here comes the food. And it was great!!! We have eaten here several times and iit is always a go to place when we are up here.“

“The pizza here is right on point. The “Personal” size pizza is huge as well as the monz sticks! The pizza comes out piping hot to the table. Service is great, my 5 year old and I went in pretty late, like 20 min before closing and they were extremely accommodating and so nice to still let us sit down and order. Highly Recommend!“

“I always get the 12 inch Philly sub, my hubby gets the chicken fajita sub both with extra mayo! There is something about that mayo that is so amazing. It's always fresh and hot. We live in cleveland but drive up to blue ridge to visit my husbands grandpa and we always stop here to eat. My kids love the killer sticks! Our food is always good always made exactly how we order it. The staff is so friendly and so upbeat which is also amazing! I highly recommend if you live near by or want really good food it's right here at papas! Also the biggest thing is their prices are great I can feed my family of 5 and spend $30 at most.“
