38 Best Italian Restaurants near Florence

“Love love love the food! Fresh and ?! Thanks to Debbie for always providing service with a smile!“

“When we arrived we were accidentally seated in a dead area. We waited probably 10 minutes or so when Jade came over to take care of us. Folks, she is a keeper. I'd come back and wait 10 minutes again if she was going to be our server. Take care of her, give her a raise, heck, give her stock shares. She's worth it. Good staff will fix any issue, any time.“

“I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday tonight at the Florence location! These girls went above and beyond to fit 12 of us in such a small space. The service was spectacular and they even surprised me with a birthday card signed by the whole staff!! You girls are absolutely amazing. Thank you for make it so special.“

“I hadn't been to a Fazoli's un a long while so it was high time we returned. Their breadsticks continue to head up my Best Breadstick lust as the garlic flavour along with the size and texture put them right at the top for me. They're also endless as long as you're getting a meal and eating in the dining room. They've got some really good pasta dishes that I've talked about in past reviews but on this occasion I went with a sub and some boneless wings. The sub was a Classic Meatball one with the meatballs, marinara sauce, pepperoni and of course tons of mozzarella. It was a little ugly to look at but is sure tasted delicious. The boneless wings I got Hot which was a Buffalo sauce with a small bit of kick. They were quite good and a lot better than I would expect from a fast food Italian restaurant. Really good flavour even if they weren't that spicy (could be just my spice pallette too. I sometimes don't taste the spice when others do.) The service was top notch and the store was clean which wasn't always the case in the past. A very tasty and affordable lunch at Fazolis.“

“So I LOVE Jets when it's made right. It is super tasty. The staff is young and I'm sure they will get better with service. Just try not to go when it's busy because your order could get lost or it could take an hour or more to get your pizza.
Always go in because if you do it over the phone no matter what they say 45 min, but if you walk in they say 15.
I will be back.“

“We travel all around the world, even compared to Italy, their home made pasta was the best we have ever eaten. We had appetizers that were awesome as well. We Highly recommend this place!“

“My group of friends had dinner here for my birthday and it was an amazing experience!! Navarre was our server and he did an exceptional job catering to us as first time guests. All of our dishes were delicious! Ricotta donuts are the perfect dessert!“

“The staff are amazing. The food is great. The atmosphere is special. It’s definitely a must to add to your dinning experience.“

“As I’m writing this review I’m still in shock! I’m in Cincinnati on business and I was craving Italian. I can’t believe there’s not a line around the block just for the meatballs! My family owned an Italian seafood restaurant in NJ for 26 years and I can say without hesitation the meatballs here are the best west of Arthur Ave in the Bronx! My NJ mind is blown!“

“What an incredible experience! We've been dining at Carrabbas across the country for 30 years. It was one of our first few dates and has always held a special place in our hearts. But we're also food snobs, so if the quality wasn't still excellent, it would be a fond memory. We no longer have a Carrabbas close enough to go to often and were excited there was one close to our hotel. From the moment we sat at the bar, Sabrina was fantastic! She was friendly and attentive and made us feel welcome. We shared with her our history with the restaurant, which she then shared with her manager, Brian. He came out to congratulate us on 30 years together and gave us a dessert. The dessert isn't the important part...the important part is that the food was fantastic and Sabrina and Brian made us feel so special it was really amazing!“

“The food and service are absolutely incredible! Coming here is definitely a great way to celebrate any occasion! The wait staff are incredibly knowledgeable and the kitchen is extremely accommodating to any dietary restrictions!“

“Always Great. Service, Quality, & Value. My scale is the only one who wishes I wouldn't eat so much & go so often.“

“Amazing food. Wonderful views. The ambiance and service was 10/10. 💜💜💜“

“Mama’s on Main has some of the best food we have enjoyed while visiting the area. It’s a must!!!“

“Food is so good! Tried the new avocado chop salad today and it's my new fave!“

“Enjoyed the tasting menu! Lost count of the number of courses, and the wine pairing was more than generous! Staff was awesome - would recommend going just to hang out with them! Only criticism is that several of the courses leaned on the heavily salted side.“

“My wife and I stopped by to celebrate our anniversary. Wonderful food, wine, and atmosphere, but it was our server that really made our night memorable. Our server Gina took amazing care of us. We absolutely recommend and will be visiting again as well!“

“What an amazing place to hold birthday party and a night out! Over the weekend we hosted my husband’s birthday party at Ripples event space. They were amazing from the service to the food and they were very accommodating to all of our requests! Trish and Matt did an amazing job with service and then everyone kept going on about the food! Way to go!!! Thank you so much for an amazing night out!“

“We celebrated what would have been our mother’s 70th birthday at Bella Vita. She loved Italian food and would have highly enjoyed our experience! The bread service is a must have! So fresh and delicious! The Vita sour was great. We had the fettuccine, vodka penne, and scampi all were absolutely incredible!!!! Almond cake and pistachio martini for dessert, delectable!!! Everything was authentic, fresh, made with love and absolutely perfect!! Highly recommended!!!! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Food was absolutely AMAZING!!!! My grandparents came from Italy so I know real Italian food. This place HAS IT!!! However, definitely did not have a welcoming experience at all. Not sure I’ll come back because now I just feel weird and like I’m dumb for not knowing certain things as it was my very first time. I’m conflicted because the food and wine were the best ever. But I also don’t want to be eating and feel like a pain or nuisance the whole time. 5 stars for food 2 stars for the vibe“

“Was in town for the weekend and stumbled upon Pompilios. We were pleasantly suprised how good our meals were! The homemade Italian dressing was one of the best I’ve had.“

“My go to spot for all my fresh pasta and sauces. Love this place!!!“

“We went for my birthday to check out the place. Good food and top notch service.“

“I have been here several times and it has always been a great experience.This place never disappoints.Wonderful food,top notch service and a great relaxing atmosphere.Amazing view of the city.“

“Enjoyed our dinner tonight. The Rainbow Vegetable Flatbread was delicious as was the Shrimp scampi and Caesar salad. We asked for bread and was told they do not have bread for table service. Don’t understand. I think bread should be available with the entrees. We will go back. Did enjoy dinner!“

“Amazing food, huge portions at a reasonable price. Perfect for “pre gaming” before a show at Bogarts.“

“Recently Traveled to Cincinnati from atl for a spontaneous trip with the family. Ben made this visit exceptional! He went over the top when he absolutely did not have to. 110% recommend if craving some pizza in cincy!!! Thank you for the italian soda, Ben! The kids loved it.“

“I’ve been coming to Pasquale’s/Fessies since I was a child. All the staff are amazing but I have to give a special shout out to Connie, she is the best! She always has a smile on her face, and she’s always treated us like family. You’re a star, Connie!“

“Absolutely fabulous experience! Amazing food, drinks, and fun vibes. The roasted eggplant is to die for, and the Sauvignon Blanc blend was fantastic. Great time with friends and wonderful staff made it even better!“

“By Far….this is the best pizza I have had in along time. Been ordering from them for a few months now. Never been disappointed. Customer service was incredible when a mistake occurred with our order! Wonderful customer service.“

“First time here tonight and the service was amazing and quick we were worried coming in about 7:50 since they closed at 9 and we didn’t feel rushed at all.. Food was absolutely delicious we ordered a pizza and hoagie with some cheese sticks, and that dessert especially the peanut butter pie was absolutely amazing I ask the girl at the register who makes it and Nicole idk if you will see this but you know what your doing with that peanut butter pie, it was absolutely the most delicious peanut butter pie I ever had.. it took a lot of self control to not buy every last piece that was left..“

“Ordered a Steak hogy, lg pepperoni pizza and cheesy garlic bread. It was all hot and wonderful. The guys working behind the counter cooking was so nice and friendly , the restaurant was clean and well lit. Would recommend to anyone wanting great Pizza experience, wonderful service.“

“This store has been consistently good since it opened. Every pizza I've gotten from the Ludlow location has been outstanding, especially considering the coupons offered through the app. Keep it up!“

“Pizza is great, we love the wings and house made ranch, all around favorite in our house. Sadly I’ve stopped ordering because it keeps getting delivered by door dash and arrives cold. One time the delivery person had a van full of people with my food just sitting on the floor boards. That’s gross. If I could be 100% sure I was getting a jets driver I’d order again but not worth the chance with the price of this place. Nothing against door dash but I don’t order my food from them for a reason, there’s no one to moderate the cleanliness of the car or person.“

“My family went to EVelocity at Newport on the Levy once we got our Pogo Passes. Never heard of it beforehand but had a great time! I have teens and they lived the full hour of game time. We spent a decent amount on food and drinks but didn’t have to pay anything for the games. It’s nice because it was raining so perfect for winter time or rainy days and loved that it’s in a fun area.“

“"Rockin Robyn" was an INCREDIBLE server (I think it was on October 23). She was attentive and very pleasant, and most of all, her service ensured that I will surely return again very soon!! I watched her attend to other guests as well, and her quick and efficient service showed that she was personally concerned about the enjoyment of each guest!! i do hope she is training others!!!“

“Food was great and service was Awesome“
