41 Best Italian Restaurants near Norfolk

“New to the area and had a hard time to find the right sub shop and a good roast beef! I’ve been here twice now and have been so impressed both times. The roast beef sandwiches are like the north shore(IYKYK) and the salads are so so good! They give you pita bread that tastes like pizza dough. So happy they are local.“

“Wonderful Anniversary dinner! The server was professional and personable and the food was delicious! Nice atmosphere in the dining room.“

“Been dining at Luciano’s in Wrentham for years However on mothersday I was shocked to get a bill of $300 plus dollars for 2 adults and two children. Ordered the veal special and got the special price $89.00 Swordfish on a bed of spinach for $52 another special price Front desk was very rude which was never like that. They have become over priced and not customer friendly. We will not return“

“Great service. Greater food“

“I just ate here for the first time and it was excellent! What a local gem. The food was very tasty and the service was amazing; I felt like I was at someone's personal event the way we were attended to like old friends and not a restaurant. Amd the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back. Thank you!!“

“One of the few places in the area where I can eat my favorites Italian dishes that taste like in my hometown in northern Italy. And great staff!“

“We are regular visitors to Café Assisi, because every visit is excellent, in every way. The food is delicious - tonight we had chicken sorrentino and a shrimp special and enjoyed every bite. Our cocktails were perfect too, and one of our favorite servers, Sylvia, knew just what we would want before we even ordered. It’s nice to visit a restaurant where the quality and service are both above and beyond, every time. Yum.“

“Friendly staff, vibrant bar, and excellent food!“

“The service was great, the food and atmosphere were excellent! We will definitely go back!“

“On October 2nd, we hosted a Rehearsal Dinner for 35 that opened up to a Welcome Party for 90. The transition in their beautiful event space was seamless, thanks to Joanna and her wonderful staff. Leading up to the events, Joanna answered any question I threw at her. It was especially comforting since I was organizing from Florida. The food at the rehearsal dinner was delicious, chicken parm, salmon, gnocchi. The service, both food and drink was exceptional. We did a prix fixe menu and Joanna created a specific menu for our event. It felt very special. For the welcome party with an open bar, we chose a charcuterie board, fruit platter, meatballs and arancini all served buffet style. High top tables were added to accommodate the additional guests. Again, Joanna and her staff paid attention to every detail. As the hostess, besides wanting great food and service for my guests, it was extremely important that I got to enjoy my son’s wedding festivities. I had the best time not having to worry about a thing. I can’t thank Joanna and her staff enough for making it all happen.“

“The frozen meatballs were reheated to perfection, finally some authentic Italian in Wrentham 🥰“

“So glad I trusted the Google reviews and tried Trattoria! Was traveling from Boston to Rhode Island on a work trip with my boss and we stopped here for dinner. WOW! Friendly staff, beautiful restaurant, and absolutely fresh and amazing food! I knew it was going to be good because it was packed on a Wednesday night! Dinner was perfect from the fresh made from scratch bread with oil to the giant meatball appetizer and the delicious pollo Parmesana and pollo Francese! The beautiful dessert selection was the final touch to a very satisfying meal. I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m anywhere near the northeast! Molte Grazie!“

“Our go-to sub shop was closed and we needed a quick easy meal after vacation so we tried Famous. The steak sub was one of the best I’ve ever had. There was absolutely no fat or gristle which is rare. My husband had the Italian with everything including hot peppers. It was good his only suggestion was that the balance of veggies to meats was a little off. Communication with the online ordering was excellent and delivery was quicker than quoted. We would definitely order from there again.“

“AMAZING FOOD! And great staff!“

“Great slice nice and crispy full pie is on the have to get list.“

“Quaint little place that feels authentic and coupled with fantastic service. The owner who works the bakery is very sweet and accommodates your requests. Bakery items are so tasty and you will come back for more. The display of flatbreads are extraordinary as they are lined up for your viewing. A must for breads and tasty treats. The custard filled bombolone is the best (and my favorite).“

“I have a complaint to be made, the chef Orlin Garcia himself, who works at the establishment, said that Mr. Carlos, the owner of Mak's.the kitchen is very dirty, there are a lot of rats, if basic sanitation is improved there, people will run the risk of catching leptospirosis, the snacks are very tasty and very dirty. Max Orlim Garcia's cook brought me a snack, my son-in-law said don't eat it because Mr. Carlos, the owner of the pizzeria, uses leftover food from other people at the table or what's left over As I said, Americans drool with desire for this burger, even though it's leftovers from other tables. He's a dirty and disgusting person, and Orlim himself helps to remake the burgers.“

“Cucina 38 is one of those rare places that never lets you down. I’ve been there five times over the past few years and have never had a bad experience. It’s a small, intimate spot that’s always clean, with a friendly staff that makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. What really sets this place apart is the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chef. The bread is fresh from local bakeries, and everything tastes like it was carefully selected with real intention. I had the lamb special with Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, and a fig glaze, and it was outstanding. My wife had the sweet potato mascarpone ravioli topped with pancetta and garlic in a brown butter sauce, and it was unbelievable. Cucina 38 just gets it right. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place that keeps delivering every time.“

“Went out for my birthday dinner with friends and had a great time. Our server Walter was amazing and kept us laughing with great service. All 6 of us really enjoyed our food. I definitely recommend the chicken loretta. The back room could use some updating but otherwise I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.“

“Been stopping by here the last few months since I discovered this gem. Ordered catering for family Easter get together for 14 and could have easily fed 25! Everything was delicious, fresh, and they helped me carry it out to my car. Five stars all around and Thank you, Luca’s!“

“Thank you guys so much the food was great and filling. After eating all the food I was so full and felt satisfied. The portions was fair and a lot unlimited salads and soups.
Jen was the Best and she served me and my family I definitely recommend you guys beings served by her.“

“I love this place! I am never disappointed!“

“Wheeeeere to begin! A cute little establishment in a little plaza. Upon entering the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The menu is bright and bold so there is not trouble reading it. Came in with my husband before we got ice cream to grab some buffalo wings. Sooooooooo glad I did! Them suckers were so dang good make you wanna smack ya mama! I’m known for my reviews taking a bite and this one won’t be different. We drove 45 minutes for some ice cream and ended up finding a little piece of BUFFALO HEAVEN“

“Have had dine-in and takeout over the years. Tonight had takeout which was a very great experience. Food was truly delicious and portions are pretty good - even for the prices being slightly higher lately (which seems par for the course in this area). Takeout order was 100% accurate, packed well and plenty of bread and grated cheese packets. Friendly staff although not immediately attentive (4.5/5). In the past for dine-in the service has been above average, although they no longer do free cake for birthdays (even for my Mom when we had a big dinner party there for her 75th) - spent several hundred bucks but no free cake. Overall 4.5 and always consistent quality, taste, portions and experience.“

“I was recommended Marinho's by some people in the gym when I was asking around for a good local calzone... I was absolutely pleased with my purchase the other week (A buffalo chicken calzone w/ bacon) as it was SUPER delicious! A superb first purchase. The dough was phenomenal and the ingredients within the calzone were tasty. Taste and quality wise, this is probably one of, if not, my favorite local calzones around now... Quantity-wise for it's price point, in respect to other places I've gotten take out from, it could be a little larger/heavier! It is a long style of calzone, not wide or round... But taste-wise, Marinho's absolutely takes the crown for me! The dough is what really made this calzone great, as well as all the ingredients within. I recommend giving it a shot, and I may just have to try out their pizza next.“

“🤤 I need a Bianco's closer to Worcester!! Its been over 10 years since I first found them and man I havent found anything close to their buffalo chicken pizza!! This is the place I compare all other pizzas to!

Was craving this my whole pregnancy, finally convinced my bf to take the 2hr drive just for this pizza, now he's down to make the drive weekly 😂“

“Great seafood takeout or dine in easy online ordering 5 star place“

“South Street is my favorite pizzeria in Massachusetts. I moved here eight years ago after growing up in Brooklyn and Queens New York. I am a huge pizza snob. Most local places in this state do bad imitations of what they think pizza from New York is like. South Street is a different style but the sauce the cheese and the crust are always delicious and cooked perfect. wat is just as important. Is that George and the other crew here treat us like family. This is my go to place for birthday parties for ordering pizza for my students at school or for family pizza nights. We just moved to Norton and still come here for pizza because it’s better than anything else in our new town.I should add the buffalo wings are my favorite local wings also. And the chicken parm hero, they call it a sub here, is amazing.“

“clean, good food, cold beers, sports on, keno, can bring the fam and staff and owner are extremely friendly“

“Everything about Bruno’s is great, from there food to their staff. I have never been unsatisfied with anything that I have ordered. Their staff is always friendly which I find very welcoming.“

“Great Food and Fast on the Point Service. Sunshine Taxi Shane 🚕“

“Solid hole in the wall spot to get a quick bite or a full meal. The pizza is a step above what I typically find in the area. The dough has a solid undercarriage and tastes very good. The grease is kept under control, even on pepperoni pizzas, the middle (where grease can tend to pool) isn’t soggy. The sauce and cheese is good but nothing exceptional. Affordable spot to get a bite for lunch or a meal for a larger party.“

“Delicious food especially they're gourmet pizza 🤤🤤 🤤“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Dining Experience From the very first moment we stepped into 3, we knew the night was going to be special. We were immediately welcomed by the manager, Elyse, whose professionalism, warmth, and genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. The atmosphere was inviting, comfortable, and perfectly balanced between upscale and relaxed—and the staff mirrored that energy from start to finish. Our service was truly outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and always pleasant. Every question we had was answered with confidence, and the recommendations were spot-on. You could tell the staff genuinely cared about creating an exceptional experience. The evening began with perfectly crafted and beautifully presented martinis, followed by warm, flavorful focaccia bread that immediately set the stage for what was to come. The calamari appetizer was incredibly fresh, tender, and packed with flavor, and the charcuterie board was both visually stunning and deliciously curated. The entrees were nothing short of amazing. The ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection—melt-in-your-mouth tender and bursting with flavor. The pesto tortellini was rich, creamy, and indulgent, with every bite leaving us wanting more. What started as a simple date night turned into an experience we couldn’t stop talking about—and one we can’t wait to repeat. If you’re looking for incredible food, exceptional service, and a truly memorable night out, look no further. We’ll absolutely be back again very soon. Highly recommend. 🍸🥩✨“

“We tried Louie's Pizzeria for the first time earlier this week. Excellent service! NY Style hand-tossed brick oven pizza is absolutely delicious! By far the best pizza we've had in a very long time. Chicken tenders are delicious also; cooked just right and not greasy.“

“Got in late last night to our hotel. Found this place and stopped for dinner. Great food and atmosphere. Waitresses were really friendly and attentive. Came back today to eat before the concert, just as great today. Highly recommended!“

“i do not recommend they are very rude and disrespectful jerks food was bad and want a refund and won't give back was so bad food and owner being so rude about it and disrespectful lying about things to get out giving a refund“

“Love this place! Amazing food, great prices, great service! Will order again and again!!!“

“Awesomeness! Awesomeness!“

“Superb sandwiches (especially the Chicken Parm and the Eggplant Parm) as well as calzones. Platters and larger dishes are outstanding as well.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you’re in Massachusetts and haven’t tried Millis House of Pizza, you’re seriously missing out. The pizza is absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, perfectly cooked every single time. You can taste the quality in every bite.
The owners are just as incredible as the food — welcoming, hardworking, and they truly care about their customers. The customer service is always top tier, friendly smiles every time you walk in or call.
And let’s talk about delivery — lightning fast! The drivers are quick, professional, and always on point.
Hands down one of the best pizza spots around. Highly recommend! 🔥🍕“
