16 Best Italian Restaurants near Troy

“Happened upon this friendly great restaurant in Troy, IL while traveling home from OK to OH. Oh my! What a gem. This was some of the best Italian food we have eaten. Brian got a half a pizza that was full of toppings and much too big to eat. I got the the spaghetti and meatballs. The red sauce was like the Italian mother's made and the meatball was the owner's grandmother's recipe. Holy Meatballs! It was delicious. We will definitely be back on pur way through when we travel. We talked to the owner for quite a while. So friendly, kind and appreciative of our patronage.“

“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!“

“Went there for first time recently. Service was great. Quiet and nice environment. The calamari was not good, quite chewy. Otherwise the rest of the food was great !“

“I want to give the biggest shout out to are waitress Danielle Duncan for being the most on it waitress I've ever met. her hospitality skills were out of this world.everything that I thought I would need she was always 2 steps ahead of me. she was fast and the most caring warm hearted person. after decompressing from the hoilday weekend meeting her was such a blessing. me my husband and my family come to the Edwardsville location a few times a month and I will be asking for Danielle every single time. people like her deserve a raise!“

“Visited Olive Garden Fairview Heights today (Mother's Day). I was very pleasantly surprised. We ordered the usual soup and salad, which are always very good. We also got the fried Calamari and the Shrimp Fritto Misto appetizers, along with our Entree's. But I want to talk about the Calamari and Shrimp appetizers. They were exceptional, both the Calamari and Shrimp were cooked perfectly. From my past experiences of working in various kitchen as a young man, I learned that It's a very delicate balance between cooking calamari and shrimp hard and chewy, or tender and succulent. Today I'm happy to say, both dishes were Tender, juicy and succulent.

Job well done.“

“awesome waitress and very friendly“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“The service was friendly and efficient. Their portions were very generous and reasonably priced. Everything was delicious.“

“I get delivery for pizza & salad, when I go to my sisters in Godfrey. Its delicious, can't wait for them to be closer to me👏👏“

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

“The pizza was delicious, the garlic cheese bread was really good. Loved the fresh garlic on the bread!“

“The service could be improved in terms of speed. However, the waiter was very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was adequate but not particularly remarkable. The food, on the other hand, was excellent. The lasagna and pizza were both delicious. I will definitely be returning to this establishment.“
