14 Best Italian Restaurants in Peoria

“Great atmosphere, great staff, and even better food.“

“I dined with a party of 3 and we were extremely impressed with the service we received from Dallas Brown. Friendly, willingness to adapt dishes to our preferences, efficient and continual checks with all of us are a few of the qualities that describe her service. She definitely makes me want to come back again! Thank you!“

“Being from New York I've been looking for good pizza here in the Peoria area for over 8 years. Im not one to normally leave reviews but this pizza definitely deserved it! Will be my go-to from here on out and will be vocal about Fat Jacks being the best pizza in Peoria!“

“The food is easily a 10 out of 10. The service is exemplary, friendly and personal. I love eating there. The only con is the price of a Caesar salad, on our last visit my wife and I each got a Caesar salad to start our meal and the two salads alone was $25.00, everything else was inline with the service and atmosphere which is the best.“

“Love the da Vinci delight 🍕“

“I am amazed by how well the atmosphere and the food and the drinks in the service are“

“Fast, friendly service and the food was great!“

“Avanti accommodated our large out of town group so well. The food was delicious, the service was quick, positive and friendly, the room worked well and was very nice. The staff was flexible with our group as it was a last minute booking. Next time we pass through town we will be sure to come back.“

“Saffron Social is the best restaurant experience that we have had in a while. We drove from the Quad Cities, which is an hour and 15 minutes away. It was well worth the drive! The food (the Halibut was amazing!), the ambience, and the service were EXCELLENT! We highly recommend Saffron Social. We will definitely be returning.“

“Great place for a sit down meal or a take out to eat at home. Their meat sauce is great. All of their food was hot and tasted great. I ordered for pick up and everything was packaged well and we got everything that we ordered. Love this establishment and will always find a reason to eat here.“

“I definitely recommend the food is great! The staff however is constantly rude. The last 3 times we’ve been there we’ve had terrible experiences with the staff.“

“RONNIE!!! Ronnie was my server tonight and he was the absolute best. I recommend coming to Monical’s on Knoxville, if you do ask for Ronnie, he’s the DUDE!“

“We arrived around 6:00 p.m. on a Friday night. There were only 10 people in the restaurant. We were seated and got our drinks right way. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone took our order. We got two different waitresses. The first waitress gave us poor service. The other one at least tried. It took 1 half hours just to get served and paid. I usually leave a decent tip but after this experience I left $2.00. Our food was watery and had poor flavor. We will not be returning which is sad because we usually love the food and always had good service.“
