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 😊“

“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“

“I can’t say this lightly. Whoever made the order for ticket #81 on June 11, 2026 at 8:04 PM needs a raise and promotion expeditiously. They might even need to run every Jets kitchen in metro Atlanta.

My pizza was cooked PERFECTLY. I’m talking crust crisped just right, cheese melted just right, and the right amount of sauce on underneath.

They forgot the dipping sauce for my Jets bread, but I ain’t even trippin cause the Jets bread was gas too!!!! Even without the sauce, I inhaled 4 slices in like 3 min.

I’m from Detroit, the hometown of Jets and I ain’t gon lie, this was better than some of the pizza I got from the crib. Don’t let nobody else at this location make pizza. Whoever was in there cooking yesterday got it forreal.“

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

“Incredible food. Fantastic service. Enough said.“

“Italiano vero 🥰🇮🇹“

“Finally found an above average Italian place in Sandy Springs! Tje meatball was app was really good. I had the tile fish which was perfectly seared and cooked to the right temp. The tagliatelle with mushrooms, sausage and cream sauce was wonderfully unctuous. Our server Anna was great.“

“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!“

“This is the best steak I’ve ever had. We went for a birthday dinner and I was blown away. The food was to die for. The atmosphere was incredible and the service was spot on. I got the 10 ounce ribeye and it had a balsamic glaze and I didn’t leave a crumb. The steaks tasted like wood fired steak and when combined with the sweet balsamic I was in heaven. The sides included eggplant fries and Brussel sprouts which was all eaten. I can’t wait to come back. Great job!“

“Absolutely amazing food, service,and atmosphere!“

“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!“

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

“The AUTHENTICITY says it all! BELLISSIMO😋😘“

“My husband and I had the privilege of dining at Capolinea for the first time this Valentine’s Day, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The service was incredible, and the food was absolutely exceptional. We especially enjoyed the Maltagliati con tartufo. The noodles were clearly homemade and perfectly cooked al dente. The sauce was beautifully creamy with just the right amount of truffle. We both agreed it was the most authentic pasta we’ve had in the United States, and it truly reminded us of Italy. The Tricolore salad was another favorite, and we greatly enjoyed the filetto wagyu as well. The desserts were equally impressive and perfectly complemented the courses before them. Capolinea also offers an extensive wine list and a thoughtful selection of spirits, which their talented bartender crafted into beautiful cocktails. Beyond the outstanding food, the service was impeccable. We had the pleasure of being served by Dominique, who was professional, personable, and attentive throughout the evening. Our glasses were never close to empty, and he provided excellent recommendations while answering all of our questions with care. We cannot wait to return. The only regret you’ll leave with is not being able to try more of the incredible dishes in one sitting.“

“Fantastic! A different Italian experience!“

“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.“

“Great tasting food! Great casual dining experience!“

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

“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.“

“great service and all of our meals were excellent“

“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!“

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

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

“#italian First time at Pasta Bella. Good Italian not far from Paulding County, Georgia. On Austell Road next to hospital. Good stuff. — eating dinner at Pasta Bella. Y Not Support Small Business“

“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“

“Went with my friends to celebrate our friend’s birthday. On the table was a birthday card that was signed from the staff which was so sweet! The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The service was also great! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Will definitely be returning“

“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!!!!“

“Where I like to go to celebrate birthdays.“

“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.“

“I had the blackened salmon with shrimp and it was delicious. I never had blackened salmon before and this is my first time and it definitely won’t be my last time. Thanks to Atlanta turkey legs. Just mmmmm. This has to be one of the best pasta dishes I have tried and usually I don’t eat pasta outside at home because I’m scared of it and this time let me tell you I was definitely not scared. This was a five out of five experience for me and I’m definitely going back to try more because Nile hooked me up with that delicious Freaky Fettuccine.“

“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!“

“I’ve been to Yeppa & Co. a number of times and service is always good, but this time with Erini has been different. Her attention to detail and overall joyful attitude made my experience that much better than my normal visits— I’ll be back!“

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

“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.“

“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..“

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

“Went here for the first time last week looking for better pizza than the chains (which are terrible). This place did not disappoint. We had the mediterranean and it was great! We ordered the small for 2 and still had half to bring home. Also had a side salad which was also great, big enough for 2. We will be coming back.“

“We were lucky enough to stumble across this little gem while traveling through Atlanta this past week. Great customer service, amazing food and drinks. I’m definitely returning next time I’m in the area!“

“The Best!!“

“My husband and I used to deliver for these guys through UberEats and DoorDash back in 2019. They were always respectful. Food was always made on time, sometimes a little later than usual. We have even bought food and drinks from them. Their pizza was always spot on. I wish we still lived there to order more of their food. I highly recommend this place. The owner is really nice as well, and is very respectful.“

“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 had the Chicken Marsala and my wife had the Pizza flatbread. Both dishes were excellent. Our server was friendly and the bartender had a very sly sense of humor. It was a very relaxing evening after a long and tiring drive from the Nashville.“

“Great food and service“

“Elyse did amazing! Great food, Thank you kitchen staff for making my little one’s day on dessert. Cannoli and shrimp scampi delicious. The bread is also great!!! Must come back when we come in town again.“

“Absolutely zero options to remove any topping. Doesn't matter if you can't tolerate cheeses. Take it or leave it says the parrot at the order counter.“
