20 Best Italian Restaurants near Fairview Heights

“Not only do they serve delicious food, but they also have a commendable mission of employing and supporting people with autism. It's heartwarming to see a local business making such a positive impact in the community.

I recently used their catering service for an event, and I couldn't be happier. The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. If you're looking for great food and a business that gives back to the community, I highly recommend Pasta Fare!“

“Over the years, Bella Milano has been a favorite restaurant for me and my wife. We love the food, service and atmosphere. I have also done dozens of business seminars there and utilized their catering. My wife recently celebrated her birthday, and she was craving Bella Milano's Lasagna. Our visit started well as our reservation was on time and we were waited on by a friendly waitress in a timely manner. Our appetizers came out quickly also. However, there was a much longer than normal delay in our entrees coming out. The waitress did stop by to apologize for our wait twice which we appreciated, but the wait was becoming an issue. A gentleman whom we later found out was Tom the owner, stopped by to apologize and then gave us free appetizer cards, comped a portion of our bill and even included desserts. He was very friendly, but more importantly, very sincere in wanting us to leave happy. He let us know that our food would be out in a minute. We were really impressed and it felt great to be appreciated by the owner and his commitment to giving us a great dining experience. Well, Tom came back a minute later and told us "You can't make this up, but when they were taking your lasagna out of the oven it fell on the floor". I can only imagine what was going through his mind as he came back to tell us this news! He said it would take 20+ minutes for another, which really didn't sit well with us at this point. The worst part was that was what my wife really wanted for her birthday dinner. Tom immediately asked my wife if there was anything else he could make for her quickly and at no cost to us, but that he would make a new lasagna for her to take home as well. I simply can't say how impressed we were with Tom's dedication and sincerity to turn a potentially very negative experience into a positive one. There are a lot of restaurants we can go to, and thanks to Tom's efforts, Bella Milano will remain one of our favorites! If you want to go to a restaurant where you know your business is actually appreciated, think Bella Milano's!“

“AMAZING place! Love the food & the staff. Always will go back.“

“First time here on our way to airport and it was awesome! Food was delicious, priced great and service was great! Highly recommend!“

“I love this place! It off such a large variety of items, it never gwwets mundane. The fries stay hot, even after the journey home is complete. The traditional gyro is my favorite. But the Philly cheese, burgers, Greek salads, and chicken pitas are also awesome! Ya gotta' go!“

“We stumbled upon this bar and grill and decided to grab a beer and lunch. We both had the Reuben sandwich and I had fries while my husband had chips. It was very good food except for the fries. Holy cow, so much salt in the seasoning I could not eat more than a few.“

“I always order online. I've been getting the Pretty Pizza for the entire 5/6 years I've lived here. maybe in the past year, I've intermittently ordered a 1/2 PP and 1/2 BBQ. Somehow my order didn't come out right today. Is the app glitchy? Staff said the second half wasn't even selected, so THEY chose cheese pizza for me. not really happy. My number was available. Couldn't someone have CALLED me before making this? I'm taking a break from your establishment.“

“Always amazing and have loved coming here since I was a kid“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know what kind of wizardry Marcos Pizza is practicing, but this was the hottest, freshest pizza I’ve ever had delivered in my life. Not “oh it’s still warm” hot. I mean “did this pizza teleport straight from the oven into my hands?” hot. The cheese was still bubbling like it was alive. The crust had that perfect crisp-but-soft situation going on. Every bite tasted like it had just been introduced to heat five seconds ago. I half expected the delivery driver to be wearing oven mitts. 10/10. Will absolutely burn my mouth again. Worth it. 🍕🔥“

“Great service! Great food also!“

“The employees of this certain Penn Station are always so welcoming and nice, showcase a good work ethic, and are good and quick at their jobs. I’m usually not one to leave reviews but this staff is the real deal. Thank you guys for your hard work and friendly faces.“

“Had an awesome server today Chelsea! She was friendly, and responsive. She did an amazing job when some extremely unkind patrons were abusive towards her, and disturbed my elderly father. The food was awesome as always. Coming back often!“
