50 Best Italian Restaurants near Smyrna

“Great food, fantastic service, and an environmental restaurant! I will be back! Also nice decor and atmosphere!“

“We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary on a Wednesday night. They warmly welcomed us even though we didn't have reservations. The chicken piccata was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the broccolini, tomato, mushroom side vegetable was not over cooked, but hot and generous and enough for two to share. My husband had the chicken parmesan, and we both switched out the spagetti that was on the menu to the fettucini made in house. They are known for their fresh pasta. The TV's played a travel video of Italy which was a nice departure from sports or news. The music was Italian as far as I know, definitely not pop culture. The tables are close together because it is a small intimate space. Our waitress was attentive and cheerful. We will definitely be back!“

“Our family of four had the best experience we’ve ever had at Olive Garden tonight, all thanks to our incredible server, Thomas. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Our drinks were always full, our food came out perfectly timed, and he checked in just the right amount. He was never intrusive, always thoughtful.

Thomas went above and beyond in every way. He anticipated what we needed before we even asked, made great recommendations, and treated our family with genuine kindness. It’s rare to find service this prompt, friendly, and professional, and we truly felt taken care of from start to finish.

We’ll definitely be returning to this location, and we’ll absolutely be asking for Thomas again. He turned an ordinary dinner into an outstanding experience. Olive Garden is lucky to have him!“

“amazing service! I picked up pizza during a rainstorm and an employee escorted me back to my car to keep me, and the pizzas, dry!! what a pleasant surprise. good pizza also 😊“

“*Edit* I spoke with the store manager and she was very nice. Seems like the 3rd party delivery drivers they use, stole the order. Thank you Monae for being kind and letting me know what happened.

Ordered at 9:55pm, called and confirmed my order and it NEVER CAME! Now I have to dispute $41.82. Why would you confirm my order, to not show up for delivery?? And don’t say you came because I have cameras and you did not 😒😒😒“

“Food was very good. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Their brunch eggs is the best in this are that's for sure. Salads are always crispy and fresh. This is my seventh time buying their salads. Well worth the money“

“The sachetti (little purses) are to die for. The Marsala crème sauce is delicious“

“We had an incredible anniversary dinner this past weekend. The wagyu truffle ravioli is to die for! The service was fantastic.“

“Great experience. The food was awesome. We tried the eggplant balls, carpaccio, pasta carbonara and pizza diavolo. Everything was so authentic, not greasy, perfect size. We didn't get to the desserts because we were already so full by eating all of the above. We enjoyed this place like we haven't had in a while eating Italian food. The owner is so nice and welcoming, so is the staff. I asked if they could lower the music and they had no problem with that.“

“Italiano vero 🥰🇮🇹“

“Absolutely amazing food, service,and atmosphere!“

“We had a fantastic dinner at KR Steakbar that blended creative cocktails with beautifully prepared dishes. We started with the Apollonia Cocktail, a mix of vodka, pineapple amaro, lemon, and apple-infused black tea liquor. Light, fragrant, and perfectly balanced, it set the tone for the evening. I ordered the pappardelle bolognese, and it was outstanding. The pasta was fresh and tender, the sauce rich and layered, with just the right depth of flavor. My partner went with the steak, and it was cooked to absolute perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned with just the right balance to let the natural flavor shine. The presentation elevated the dish without being overly fussy, and it paired wonderfully with the sides. This place delivered on every front: atmosphere, service, and food. The cocktails were inventive, the dishes masterfully prepared, and the evening felt special without being pretentious. It’s a spot that knows how to balance creativity with comfort. We will be back often.“

“We’ve been trying to get in for a while and finally did, it was worth it! The food was good, the spritz amazing, and the service phenomenal!! Avery was wonderful and we will be back!“

“Ex New Yorker here. By far the best Italian food I've ever had. Great service and atmosphere, too. I can't wait to go back. DELICIOUS!!!“

“This is the real deal…from fresh Mozzarella to authentic Hoboken bread, every dish is reminiscent of Nonna’s on a Sunday. The only thing more authentic than the cuisine is the proprietor…Johnny is the real deal. A native of Hoboken, he’s lived a life people only dream of…if you can dine at a time when he can share some of his memories, you’ll leave with a fully belly and a ton of laughs. Spend a few minutes looking at the pictures of him with the dozens of celebs who know and love him, and ask him about any of them. Every 8x10 on that wall tells a different story, but there’s one thing the same in every photo…that people from all walks of life are lucky (like I am) to call him a friend.“

“Tyler was an excellent server. Our food and drinks were delicious and delivered in good time Thank you Tyler and staff in Kennesaw, GA.“

“Fantastic! A different Italian experience!“

“The AUTHENTICITY says it all! BELLISSIMO😋😘“

“The service was awesome. Pierre was very engaging. It's better to buy a bottle of 🍷. You get more for the cost. My meal was very good. I loved the bread.“

“Our waiter was fabulous! Sadly, we did not get his name but we absolutely loved him. Friendly, happy and got our orders correct! The food was delicious. If we come back up here again, we'll most definitely make it a point to stop in for a meal.“

“Love all the Storico restaurants...food and service is great... great vibe at Forza!“

“We tried this a couple of weeks ago. We came early and got lucky to get a table because after us there was always a wait. Friendly service and the food a solid 10. We had the Cesar and Arugula salads. Both phenomenal. Then lemon pepper wing’s. Very moist and delicious. Then he had their version of a meat lover and I had black olives with sausage. It was a Wed and they have half off the wine by glass or bottle. We can’t wait to go back!“

“AUTHENTIC, Good service and full of Flavor! 10/10 !🔥🔥🔥“

“My husband and I had an amazing experience- Lisa Marie the manager took the time to visit us twice to talk! Jenny was our server and was attentive, kind and on top of everything! Special thanks also to Armani who flourished the Martini Cart at our table and to Emmanuel the Sommelier who chose the perfect dessert wine - if we had more time in Atlanta we would have come back for a second night! Five Star service with excellent, savory beautifully prepared food!“

“great service and all of our meals were excellent“

“We stopped in very early on the way home, around 3:30 pm. The hostess was very kind to the only server working at that time & asked us to wait for 10-15 minutes, to allow her to catch up and supper staff to arrive. After a short wait that was no issue at all, our server, Daijah came to the table & proceeded to give amazing attention to my wife & I for the next hour. She offered excellent food suggestions which we partially used. My wife's lobster spaghetti and my choice of dessert, their butter cake. We began with the tomato bruschetta & it was perfect. My wife ordered a bottle of wine with the meal, handled perfectly by Daijah. Angelo came by & checked on the meal and service during the entrees. All of which were incredible. I had the wagyu stuffed shells, in spicy red sauce, which was phenomenal! Our desserts of butter cake & creme brulee, were also superb. Kris came by at the end & we were happy to congratulate him on a perfect meal & experience. We will definitely be back soon!!!!“

“EVERYTHING WAS NICE FROM EMPLOYEES TO FOOD! My new favorite place!“

“What a gorgeous restaurant! My experience at the charcuterie bar was excellent! Carefully selected cured meats and regional Italian cheeses. It felt like being in Tuscany for a night. Cocktails are well executed and served. Definitely the perfect Italian spot in town to get together in a charming, yet casual setting. Can’t wait to dine on the patio, as the weather warms up. Highly recommended!“

“Real authentic NY Pizza, Best in Atlanta and I'm from NYC and a pizza Snob. Everyone who works there is very friendly and Manger so accommodating.. Love their pizza and crunchy crust“

“I’ve gone in the last decade or so, I’ve tried a different cake/cheesecake slice. And every single time, I’m left feeling perfectly satisfied. The ambiance exudes “European decadence”, from the intricate bathroom detailing to the delicate cursive script written inside the coffee cups. Moreover, I always love how many people are also here near midnight with a slice and coffee in-hand, especially on those random weeknights. Absolutely one of my favorite spots in the city, and it checks all the boxes to be considered a must-visit spot for anyone.“

“Will provided GREAT service! Food was excellent as always!“

“This is located in a ghost kitchen along with multiple other ghost kitchens. There is a sign posted that tells you how to order, you don't use the kiosk. Your food is then bought out to you. Ordered BBQ turkey leg, greens and yams but, instead of yams received Mac n cheese which was actually delicious so it was a nice mistake.😋 I would say they should not put hot peppers in the greens as they were so hot I couldn't even eat them but, they were good.“

“Where I like to go to celebrate birthdays.“

“Food and service excellent. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable . Food is very flavorful and delicious! Surprised they did not offer bread with meal. Dessert and apéritif Very good as well. We sat in the patio with heaters. Very nice“

“Me and my girlfriend came in about a week ago we loved how the whole staff was so proactive and helped each other out the service of Serena was wonderful and the food was delicious thank you for the food.“

“The food is absolutely amazing. Customer service is friendly And warm. My new favorite place to eat.“

“Great tasting food! Great casual dining experience!“

“I fell in love with this place over the weekend and now I cannot wait to return. It reminds me of some of my favorite NYC spots, with the beautiful front bar area and piano, delicious food, cozy design, and a lovely crowd The Saturday night sing-alongs by the piano were the perfect way to end my weekend. I had the lasagna ---YUMMY Calamari - SO good, not overly breaded, fresh tasting, and the right amount. Look forward to my next time and plan on bringing some friends!“

“Authentic and delicious Italian! Daniele and Bella went above and beyond for my wife’s birthday celebration with 25 people, and made it a truly memorable experience. I’d give six stars if I could!“

“Me and my boyfriend came here for the first time last night and oh my goodness it was so good!!! For appetizers, we got meatballs, and the cheezy bread. Meatballs were the best meatballs I've ever had in my life, and the cheezy bread was like a mini pizza! Just without the sauce obviously. For entrées, he got the chicken parm with the noodles on the side, and I had asked for shrimp scampi. Our server said It was no longer on the menu, (I saw it in a video and was hoping to get some) but she was SO amazing and was able to get it made for me!!! I wish so much that I got her name because she was absolutely stunning as a human and as a server. They eneded up running out of their vanilla Gelato, so we didn't get desert but the experience was absolutely wonderfully. The manager also came by to say hello and was absolutely charming as well. We loved the service and food so much we ended up getting a whole nother entre to go. If I could give 10 stars I would. ❤️❤️“

“Crispina Ristorante & Pizzeria is a must try restaurant in Cumberland Atlanta. We ordered fettuccini Alfredo and Primavera pasta. Pepperoni & Home run pizza and the Calamari. Everything was spot on. Our server is Forest. Thank you so much for the fast and great service. Anyone craving for Italian Cuisine. We highly recommend this place. You guys deserves a 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating..“

“I’m so happy I ate Good food, great staff, and nice customer service. So glad to have such incredible food and I will always visit il Giallo Osteria & Bar“

“Just tried this restaurant with my family. Highly recommend. Food was fresh. Pasta is made in house. The salad was fresh. Service was consistent. Place is beautiful. We will definitely be back.“

“So on a whim I grabbed a baked ziti and side Italy salad minus the pepperoni for lunch. This lunch was the most delicious I've had in a while. The best baked ziti I EVER had. I have been here before a couple of times, and was always satisfied, but I felt compelled to share this lunch because the photo speaks volumes concerning the quality of food you can expect to receive. 😋🍽The lady at the counter was also super nice! 😊“

“yummy! I got the tomato basil penne and garlic bread, it was delicious!“

“The Best!!“

“Great food and fantastic service!“

“My youngest son too me for my birthday. WONDERFUL food and atmosphere! I had the Gluten free pasta with meat sauce, the endless salad and special ice cream, my son had the meat ravioli and garlic rolls. I highly recommend going to Provino’s for a nice Italian meal. On your birthday you do get a free meal, salad, garlic rolls and their ice cream! I’ve been to this location 3 times this year alone!!“

“I was expecting more given the hype, but the drink menu is very well thought out. The bar is very small and Extremely Loud so be aware that bringing a large party here might not be applicable for most people. The F1 theme is a little more minimalistic than I was expecting, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.I feel like most people would Love This Bar. For me it's a little too loud.“
