20 Best Italian Restaurants near Zion

“Walked out of this place, hit with scent of drugs being used as I opened the door. No need to spend my money at an establishment who has no regard to regulations.“

“Stop in for the canolli and stay for the food.“

“We recently discovered Renzo’s and have dined in a few times already. In addition to excellent food, Rosie (the owner) and her daughter are so welcoming. We feel like we are eating at a family member’s house rather than a restaurant. Being there brings back wonderful memories of Sunday dinner at my Gram’s house. Portions are very generous and everything we have tried has been excellent! Make sure you try the Renzo’s fries (they are similar to a breadstick made from pizza dough with marinara sauce for dipping), the popovers (similar to a calzone and loaded with whatever ingredients you select and topped with their delicious marinara sauce), and of course their amazing pizzas. Renzo’s has become our favorite restaurant for Italian food and we visit often. Rosie greets us with a big hug and we love taking to her about Italy and our travels there.“

“Growing up in Italy, I learned to appreciate food that feels both authentic and full of heart, and Olivia’s Italian Restaurant gives me just that. I often come here for their homemade pasta and classic chicken parmigiana, dishes that bring me right back to family dinners in Turin. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it feel less like dining out and more like being embraced by true Italian hospitality“

“This restaurant has the best hot dogs in the world. They are a good size, great flavor and don't have that nasty casing stuff. The buns are fresh, the good ones with the poppy seeds. The hot dogs are the same every time; always perfectly done.“

“Our family has appreciated some wonderful meals at the IA. Their servers are very attentive, their food is delicious, and their bartender Caleb is the best at his trade! A message for my fellow IA members: please bring your families there to take pleasure in some of the best Italian fare you will ever enjoy!!🍝“

“This is our family's favorite restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries, dinners with large groups...At this point we've been here probably 10 times and never once have we had a bad experience. Every server goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a WOW experience. The food and drinks are amazing every time. Last night we decided to try somewhere new since we just ate at Primo the previous weekend. The prices were the same yet the service and food did not compare. From now on we'll stick with here, where we know we'll have an amazing experience.“

“I went to this place just today, the waiters were amazing, so kind and on top of stuff. The place is so big, and although they were busy, it was very sanitary. The food was amazing and had many options. The atmosphere overall was so great, everyone was so nice and it was decorated beautifully. Overall, I give this place a 10/10, definitely would recommend.“

“Ordered via delivery and the pizza was phenomenal. Highly recommend....support local!“

“We were here on Friday and the service and food were amazing. Zachery is a wonderful server and extremely knowledgeable on the food/drinks. We will be back again!“

“I had my daughter’s birthday party at Luigi’s pizza kitchen. Very friendly, welcoming & accommodating for our group! Best pizza I have tasted! Very clean & great atmosphere! Thank you Luigi’s Pizza Kitchen!! We will Definitely Be Back to try other items on the menu!“

“So my husband and I visited other Olive Gardens. One in gurnee which I loved the waitress, one in racine which I was not happy with the service and our first time today in kenosha. Our waitress Cassie was so wonderful. She asked the right questions, the salad plates were cold for the salad, the food was nice and hot. But what I liked the most was when Cassie asked if we liked anything else before she brought our food out. So this will be our place from now on. Thank you Cassie for your service. I give you a 10 as a waitress“

“We tried Cut Stone in Kenosha last night. We started with the meatballs which were good. I would skip them and get either the bruschetta or stuffed mushrooms next time. I had the Crab Ragoon pizza made of cream cheese mixed with crab topped with mozzarella wonton strips, green onions and sweet chili sauce. It was creative and very tasty. My hubbt had a pepperoni and mushroom pizza. His was a bit floppy from all the toppings. Once it cooled off it was easier to eat a slice. The crust is more of what I'm use to which was delicious. The kind you can fold. Over all it was a bit pricy but I think it was worth it. He wishes he got a more creative pizza. We will be going back.“

“Great Italian food, comfortable atmosphere“

“Louie's is the best place to eat in Waukegan. Great Italian food, thin crust pizza, fried chicken and fish. Everything is great. They give you the best bread hot from the oven when you sit down. Huge bar. Family friendly. You can't go wrong at this place.“

“Great place, Awesome food and Milo loved it too.“

“Best tacos in Kenosha! �“

“I have been going there for 60 years and it is still the very best. You order it with double sausage and what ever else you like on it and don't forget to order it well done. Everyone I take there said it is one of the best pizzas they ever had.“

“We held a family funeral lunch at Lino’s. The staff was welcoming, attentive and very friendly as they took care of our party, which filled their banquet room. We had a couple of chicken dishes, a couple of vegetable dishes, a garden salad, potatoes, and cannoli for dessert. Our guests raved about the food, which was delicious and hot! We could not be more enthusiastic in our recommendation of Lino‘s!“

“We do take out here quite often and like their stuffed pizza. We have been disappointed however more often than should occur when they under cook the pizza and the upper dough is not done. It’s not the cheese either. Otherwise it is always ready on time when I order online.“
