22 Best Italian Restaurants near Halifax

“I have been here a couple times and each time, I am NEVER displeased. I can’t say the same for the other locations though. I got the carbonara and stick to that usually which is always impeccable. I’ve had my food right after I get into the car after leaving and reheated leftovers and the food is perfect either way. The garlic bread with cheese is massive and so tasty!“

“Lovely Italian food and staff!! We got take out and it was Delicious w/o garlic overload. Everything was so fresh and cooked to order!!! We will be back!! Thank you!“

“Johnny Macs is a very good restaurant their food is awesome portions are big and the staff is very nice. The one thing I do say is that it’s a little on the pricey side but that’s ok in my book because you’re paying for the quality. 🍝“

“Angry pizza was top notch“

“One of our favorite Italian restaurants in the South Shore is Mia Regazza in Marshfield. The restaurant is spacious, featuring a bar, dining rooms, and outdoor seating during the summer. The service is friendly and professional, and the dining rooms maintain a pleasant noise level. The food is excellent, with the chicken Parmesan being a standout dish. Parking can be challenging during dinner hours, so it's recommended to arrive a bit early. It is definitely recommended.“

“Food and and service is always spectacular!“

“My husband and I stopped there for lunch while our dog was being groomed. We ordered sandwiches and my husband started to feel lightheaded. We were served and it had to ask for the check and take out containers. Our waitress was an angel from god. She brought the takeout containers and the check and also a bottle of cold water, an empty bag and extra napkins in case he was sick on our way home. We didn’t even get a chance to eat our food. She could be given something for her heartfelt concern which I feel was over and above. She is at the Abington restrained her name is Mary. God bless and keep you safe Mary!“

“Consistently great food and the Marsala sauce with the homemade (ALL of their pasta is made fresh in house) egg fettuccine is the best I’ve ever had.“

“From the Hostess to the Servers, staff was pleasant and professional. The food was exceptional!“

“They lost a customer!! We ordered take out 2 weeks ago on Friday night, Caesar salad with chicken, chicken Alfredo, and chicken broccoli Alfredo. We picked up the food within 30 minutes, the time we were quoted when picking up and live about 10 minutes away, let just say it was one of the worst take out meals we have had. Immediately after we started eating I called and spoke to the manager, the salad was watery and croutons were mushy, the chicken Alfredo was cold, the Parmesan wasn't melted! The food tasted like it a day old and microwaved! The manager took all my info and stated she would call me back after dinner service, never heard from her. Saturday I called back after not hearing, the same manager answered apologizing it was late when she finished dinner service but the owner was out of town and would call me back during the week, ok no problem. Late Monday I get a voicemail from the owners wife, working in customer service I was appalled by the voicemail. She stated that croutons do get soggy if you don't eat the salad right away and to order the dressing on the side next time. And that Alfredo just separates if you don't eat right away, suggesting I don't let it sit to room temperature before serving. I immediately called her back and explained I picked up the order and called within 40 minutes of placing the order, she stated that wasn't explained to me. She continued to tell me, speaking to someone in the background I have never heard this many complaints before. She proceeded to ask me what I wanted her to do about it, she stated she needed to talk to her husband because they don't just refund someone because they complain... I proceeded to tell her I had pictures if she was interested. I texted her the pictures and she told me she had to speak to her husband and would call me back... over a week later no call back...“

“This place is a hidden gem! Awesome food and great service. Try the hot honey pepperoni slice. Looks like a piece of art taste like a piece of Heaven!“

“Flo's always comes through with their diverse menu. Souvlaki and tzatziki are the best we've had since Athens last year. Give Flo's a try, they won't disappoint.“

“A local experience. Nice atmosphere. Family oriented .mostly. large bar for adults and football. Pasta dishes with large portions bit not the salad wraps, which I had. Could have had more grilled chicken and fresher ingredients. A restaurant should never skimp on French fries. The hostess fit us in a table quickly. No reservations and none available anyway. Wait staff very attentive especially to the kids. Kids love the place and the food. Overall great place but urge management not to skimp
on food“

“love and recommend. very good“
