13 Best Italian Restaurants in Lafayette

“Went today for a late lunch. This was our first visit and definitely not our last. Our server Jessica went above and beyond to make our first experience the best we ever had. Food was amazing! The GM Lupe even came visit with us at our table. Best dining experience we have ever had!“

“Wow, the service was top tier! My husband and I were blown away by the warmth, hospitality, enthusiasm and experience shown by our server, Makiah. She gave us great recommendations for our apps and entrees. She paid special attention to my gluten free preference and made sure that I got exactly what I asked for. She spoke highly about her boss and colleagues. You can tell that she thoroughly enjoys working there. Our dining experience was pleasant all the way throughout. She even gave us a tour of the Blue Room after dinner. Very cool space! We definitely will be back soon. 💛“

“Always an amazing dining experience ❤️ Nicole was our server tonight and she is radiant!“

“My wife and I had dinner at Sarrica’s Little Italy last night, and both the service and the food were outstanding. She ordered the Pasta Alla Lurida—rich, delicious, and generous enough to bring some home. I had the Guancia Di Manzo, which was absolutely amazing; the meat was melt‑in‑your‑mouth, fork‑tender perfection. For dessert, we enjoyed a pastry crafted to look exactly like a ripe lemon. The shell was filled with a wonderfully smooth, flavorful filling, and we were both amazed at how realistic it looked. If you’re looking for a truly great dining experience, I highly recommend Sarrica’s.“

“From the moment I stepped inside I was enveloped in an atmosphere of pure elegance. The soft ambient lighting, tasteful décor, and hushed conversations created an intimate yet refined setting, perfect for a memorable evening. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with every detail meticulously attended to. The staff’s knowledge of the menu and wine pairings was impressive, guiding us through a culinary journey that felt both personalized and indulgent. ❣️“

“My first time at Olive Garden and it was after my graduation, so it was pretty packed. Loved the many food options they had, especially since someone in our party can't eat gluten. Very friendly waiters, one guy kept apologizing when he would reach over a person to get a dirty plate of ours. Was able to joke with another. Overall, fun and amazing experience“

“One of my favorite places to eat“

“Great staff and friendly !! Lillian was the best waitress!!!“

“Great foods excellent Very quiet“

“Truly, the best pizza in the world. Nothing compares. My grandfather knew it, my father knows it, I know it, and now my son knows it too.“

“I've been trying different Pizza joints each time I'm in Lafayette since we don't have good choices out in the sticks where I live.
Today I discovered Deano's! This was one of THE BEST Pizzas I've had since I moved to Louisiana 8 years ago.
The curly pepperoni is the way to go! You don't even need the flat kind.
I'll be seeing y'all again next time I have to come to Lafayette!“

“I’m in from out of town. Best price from the options on line that weren’t “chain pizza places”. Pizza was fire, dope, delicious. Ate the whole thing in one sitting. I know the following questions aren’t going to match but I would put this in my top 15 pizza places all time. I eat a lot of pizza from a lot of places. Well done loved the flavor. If I’m back in town will order again.“

“Our server, Jolie, was helpful friendly and awesome! Thanks for recommending the caramelized pizza with the salad! Food was terrific (Salmon on Peso Pasta salad, grilled perfectly medium, and the Muffaletta with perfectly melted provolone and fries). Food was on the table in under 10 minutes. Will definitely be back for more! Dining room was impeccably clean. Wheelchair accessible, dedicated pickup parking, well apportioned bar, fair prices, and they have trivia and bar height tables as well as booths. Sorry I didnt take pics! Great music selection that appealed to both my mom and myself.

Edit: Leftovers were an entire meal for both of us! Great experience!“
