11 Best Italian Restaurants in West Des Moines

“Simple stated, Incredible“

“Had a small group (9pp) attending an informal Porsche car club pre-drive planning meeting at Biaggi's last night. I had made minor arrangements with Jeff Duncan (Managing Partner) and Whitney Webber (Event Planner) and they were most professional and accommodating to my requests. Pleasure to work with! The food and drinks were very good and and our server Tiffany did a great job being professional, attentive, and personable. The pricing of the menu items is surprisingly low to me providing an exceptional value as well. Highly recommended!!!“

“Olive Garden is one of those places where I go in planning to eat a normal meal and leave wondering why I have enough leftovers for the next two days.

The food is consistently great, and you can tell a lot of it is made fresh. The gnocchi soup is hands-down my favorite thing on the menu. If they ever start selling it by the gallon, I'm in trouble. The endless soup, salad, and breadsticks deal is one of the best values around, and somehow those breadsticks always disappear faster than they arrive.

The servers are always friendly and generous with the cheese. In fact, I usually end up with enough grated cheese on my pasta to qualify as a side dish by itself. I've even joked about buying one of their cheese graters because I love it so much.

The lemonade is excellent, although I may drink it faster than the staff can refill it. If you're looking for an appetizer, get the Fritta... something. It's like a mozzarella stick that leveled up—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and absolutely delicious.

Top it all off with one of their desserts, and you'll leave happy, full, and probably carrying a to-go box. Olive Garden never disappoints.“

“One of the only spots all of kids and all of the adults in our family agree on. It’s kid friendly, tons of menu options, food is consistently great, service is friendly.“

“Traveling from out of town Super super impressed and happy we came in just as they were closing they held the kitchen open longer for us how awesome is that. Also have celiac and needed a gluten-free option. The cook staff actually went through the recipe books to make sure the sauce was safe for me to eat not many people will go that far out of their way highly recommend love this place!“

“My favorite place for Greek and Italian food!“

“The food was amazing, we had pepperoni pizza. The service was stellar. Just not a ton of places to sit, mostly carryout. Lobby was clean. There were a few bar type seats, up against the wall, we just didn't know that before we went. But that didn't stop us, we will be back!“
