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!“

“I’ve dined at this restaurant two times prior, and the experiences were phenomenal; hence why I chose to come here to celebrate my graduation. I had Ben as my server this evening and his service was extremely pleasant. He made sure that the table was happy and his attitude was positive. I had the bolognese lasagna-I highly recommend-and the drinks from the bar were delicious. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants a delicious Italian meal, with a fun atmosphere and great service for anyone who wants to celebrate any type of occasion!“

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

“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“

“We found this place on our first trip to Lafayette while looking for something other than fried chicken, and we’re so glad we did. We ordered the spaghetti splendaro with meatballs and shrimp nicole, and both were delicious! Along with the amazing bread that came with them. Even though we arrived close to closing time, our food came out quickly. The service was great, and our server lady was especially kind and welcoming.“

“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’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!“
