13 Best Italian Restaurants in Lafayette

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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. ❣️“

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

“Our waiter Chloe was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. The atmosphere was a bit noisy with minimal music, but that’s what to expect in a tiny place. The texture of the food was divine!! The flavor was the complete opposite everything tasted like tomato with no flavor added. It was authentic not typically what Louisiana people are used to. The Mozzarella Frittas were scrumptious overall.“

“One of my favorite places to eat“

“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.“

“Great foods excellent Very quiet“

“I was disappointed in the muffalato it had almost half the meat , yet was just, if not more expensive than ever before. Sorry, can’t afford paying for a sandwich that doesn’t have more meat than a simple bologna sandwich!“

“Hands down the best build-your-own pizza in Lafayette! The crust is cooked to perfection with just the right crunch, and all the toppings are super fresh. Love that they offer local Cajun toppings like boudin and smoked sausage.
​The service is always fast, friendly, and helpful, and the pizzas are ready in no time.“
