50 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.“

“Excellent people exc food great prices!“

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

“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 stopped here before a concert at Xfinity. Really some of the best food I’ve ever had! We had the margherita pizza, crispy eggplant—so good we got another order—and the bruschetta. It was all so fresh and so good. I would love to try a full dinner from there! If I lived closer I would be there all the time! I will def go back next time I’m in the area. The staff were all so amazing too!“

“We had an excellent dining experience here. Calamari was some of the best I have ever had. Flatbread pizza was creative and oh so flavorful. Mushroom ravioli wasn’t a huge portion but was so well made and fresh I didn’t care. Creative and well made cocktails and the complimentary bread was delicious and a really nice touch. Our waitress Kathleen was very kind and attentive, and when our gift card was accidentally misplaced she worked with the manager to rectify right away. Fantastic atmosphere and outdoor dining experience! Would highly recommend this spot!“

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

“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 owners and clientele!“

“Great service. Greater food“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“After a friend raved about the chicken gyros at Famous Pizza, I quickly became a regular. Seriously, the gyros are the best I’ve ever had. Their pizza and calzones are great too. They have quickly become our family’s go-to for quick takeout and the owners are seriously sweet people, supportive of the community.“

“Amazing bakery with excellent service! The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The bread was fresh, delicious, and tasted homemade. I also love that they carry a variety of groceries, making it a convenient place to shop for more than just baked goods. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

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

“AMAZING FOOD! And great staff!“

“Vico Ristorante Italiano offers an authentic Italian experience on the South Shore, with "amazing food". The service was great, with a large wine selection. I recommend the Rigatoni Bolognese.“

“I got a primavera bbq catered for my daughters recent graduation party. I was highly surprised how good it was since primavera is known for their italian food. I thought the food was fantastic and so did all the guests. They came right on time and set up was and cleanup was exceptional. I would recommend..“

“5 STAR TREATMENT!!! We had my husbands surprise birthday party there last night for 40 guests and it went off without a hitch! Jim the manager went out of his way to check all the little details that make an event special from custom menus to an easel for a sign. The waitstaff was wonderful and accommodating! The food was wonderful and the room was comfortable! Nobody left the party early!!! Thank you Olivadi!“

“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!“

“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.“

“been going to Wrentham house for years, best pizza in town“

“It is not just the good quality pizza / other cusine that Comellas makes that is appealing about this restaurant. Rather it has a versatile atmosphere fitting for any type of classy dinning experience. With service that is home-like and warm. I would recommend Comellas to anyone.“

“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!“

“Restaurant 45 is one of the best I’ve been to in a while! I stopped in with my dad the other day and was happy we were able to grab a table. This wasn’t my first time at 45, I’ve had a graduation party there before. However, it did remind me I have to go back more often.

The restaurant itself is nice. Plenty of parking and lots of room inside of the building. They have many rooms for functions set up as well.

Our waitress was Nikki, and she’s fantastic. Great personality, bubbly, and helpful. I was very happy to have her! This night I ordered the chicken Loretta but had it over pasta. This was probably one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. The pasta was cooked expertly, chicken was nice and crisp, and the ricotta mixture was the perfect amount of creamy. I would highly recommend Restaurant 45 to anyone who wants a great meal!“

“Great food,good pizza and great service 👍🏿“

“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.“

“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“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Best pizza i have ver taste.
The owner of th4 restaurant is really a good guy and knows to talk to people
I recommend this place to anyone around, it is really a very nice place and the crew there is super nice and chill people“

“Best local pizza around! Family-run, and the owner is super nice. I’ve tried most of their pizzas and have my favorites, but honestly none of them disappoint. Their pizza bread is amazing — even my toddler is obsessed. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“. Last night I ordered a Chicken bomb pizza. It was so delicious!!! Loaded with juicy chicken, grilled onions, & Red peppers cooked to perfection. I have now successfully, tried at least five different things on the menu and EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! Always fresh and always tasty. If you want fresh delicious meals it’s at Royal pizza!“

“Delicious Italian sub, one of the best I’ve ever had!“

“When I walk in here or open door to a delivery, they're always so friendly . Stopped in for a pocket which I now know she makes fresh. Suggested a little add in to my order n made a awesome grilled veggies pocket n prov. chs...w added roasted red peppers n banana peppers instead of my reg hots & made a great flavor mix ...I'll always order them that way now. they have terrific subs , a number of dinner plates & even large sizes to fill your party needs ( under catering) the pizzas are wonderful , whether you pick your own or choose one of the many specialty pies!!!! n if you like a little sweet after oh so savory dishes try the home made Baklava or the fried dough balls w powdered sugar !!! You Won't Be Disappointed“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. 🍸🥩✨“

“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 🚕“

“High marks for resolving an oder mix-up. Ordered a LG pizza for take out. Arrived and paid as it wasn't quite ready. Manager came out and explained pizza was being remade as mistakenly kitchen made a small. Went to wait outside. Per Manager direction, the front service person came out and fully refunded the amount I paid. Thank you! Front service person came back out with not only the LG pizza I originally ordered but also with the small. Totally had zero expectations for any of that to happen. Mistakes happen and it wasn't the end of the world for me with having to wait a few more minutes for my order. I am very appreciative of the actions taken to resolve what I considered a minor inconvenience.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The only reason why I wanted to write a review is because I dined there last night before a concert. The bartender got in the weeds and first the general manager came to help, she hopped on service bar so he could take care of bar guests, clean up( there were stacks of dishes everywhere) but the 4 stars come in when the service manager came to help! She’s amazing. I didn’t catch her name but she really is great. I worked for Olive Garden for 12 years and I would have loved to work with her. Outstanding“

“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“
