50 Best Italian Restaurants near Walpole

“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!“

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

“Excellent people exc food great prices!“

“We would like to give a higher rating and hope to in the future but there were several areas that could be improved:

1) My husband and I sat on the patio next to the front door. We used to come here alot when it was Petit Robert. They have done a nice job of changing it from French country bistro to modern upscale Italian, still very cozy. It was a lovely evening but it was disrupted by 2 young boys running in and out of the restaurant yelling the score to some game. They continued to yell up and down the sidewalk and climbed the lamppost. It really ruined the vibe. It was surprising that their parents (inside) nor the staff said anything to them. We could over hear the table next to us also commenting about this raucous behavior.

2. The service, although super friendly was slow. We waited for quite some time to place our order and for the bill. I never got the ice that was requested. Perhaps this is because of thr busy crowd on a Friday night.

3. The majority of our dishes were outstanding. The grilled squid appetizer was the best we have had in awhile. The squid was very tender and went perfectly well with the sliced fennel and lemon vinaigrette. My husband's wagyu dish was also beautifully executed. It was cooked to the perfect medium rare and paired nicely with the garlic sauce. Sides included lightly seasoned crispy fingerling potatoes and broccolini also cooked to perfection. I ordered the house special, lobster in vodka sauce with house made pasta. This was the biggest disappointment when the other dishes were so well delivered. The pasta was over cooked and mushy. The sauce was a bit sweet and there were only a few small pieces of lobster claw meat. This was surprising since the dish was more expensive than the wagyu. When the hostess checked in on us, she was gracious in offering to get us something else. I went with the black truffle wheel since we had seen other tables ordering it and the waitress had said it was her favorite dish there. Indeed it was incredible and did not disappoint! The pasta was not overcooked and the sauce was to die for! I loved it and would come back just for that dish alone!

When the bill came out, we assumed that they would have comped us for the lobster dish since that was what we didn't like and had sent it back despite their offering us to take it home. But instead, they had comped us for the truffle dish ($26), which was just over half of the lobster dish ($44). Seemed like a strange unprofessional practice.

Overall we still loved 3 out of 4 dishes so would still come back. Hopefully there won't be screaming kids and perhaps the wait staff would not be as slow.“

“Great. Been there dozens of times.“

“Vincenzo’s Italian Deli is the real deal! Their panini are prepared with the freshest of imported ingredients (prosciutto, mozzarella, basil, etc), They also offer hot subs, freshly made Arancini rice balls, mini sfogliatelle, and homemade focaccia. In addition, they sell a wide range of imported Italian snacks, cookies, drinks, and condiments (many of which you can usually only find in Boston). Furthermore, modern Italian music is playing from the moment you step in, which truly adds to the authentic experience. Staff very friendly and hardworking🙌“

“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!“

“I have never in my life had a steak cheese & mushroom sandwich as good as Lola’s. We stopped in for a quick dinner Wednesday and I have been thinking (dreaming?) since then about how delicious it was. It’s a bit far for us to come there regularly but I can’t wait to visit again.“

“Always amazing food and service!!!“

“The best beef bolognese I have had in ages! Time to buy more!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great owners and clientele!“

“We tried 6 different things and they were all amazing . Great pizza , deserts are delicious. Fun atmosphere and the big wood stove fire is cool. Service was fast and polite. Our food came out pretty fast even tho it was busy on Friday. Everything was very well prepared and generous serving sizes. I can’t wait to go back. Get the Popeyes sweet pea pizza . One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.“

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

“My family makes it there at least once a month. Best mussels on the planet. Bolognese, risotto, chicken parm, rosemary chicken, Lamb shank, something for everyone. Best friendliest staff ever. BYOB makes it even more fun. Daphne, Shannon, Joe, Angel, Dillon…all the bomb!“

“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!“

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

“Good food, friendly staff, affordable for lunch and catering“

“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.“

“Adrian was the best service we have had in a long time. Great place ask for him if you want great service. Will be back.“

“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!“

“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!“

“First time visiting & very impressed. Food was delicious, good size portions. wait staff very friendly & attentive. A great place to dine that doesn't break your wallet!“

“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..“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Bertucci's makes the best pizza around, all of their dishes are good. prices are reasonable, service is good. We noticed it wasn't nearly as crowded as it used to be before the pandemic, that's too bad, it's a nice place.“

“Excellent food. Excellent specials. Caprese salad so fresh. All of the salads are a meal in themselves. Best chicken parm. Best chicken Marsala. Steak tips so tender with garlic mashed and sautéed spinach. Bartenders are so friendly and fun. Wait staff are awesome. Get there early. Fills up fast! Tommy and Mollie. Joe and Lori are greatest bartenders. Jocelyn and Jess and Paola are best waitresses“

“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.“

“great place to eat food great not greesy insides always spotless“

“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.“

“Just Ordered One Of The Best Italian Subs I’ve Had In A Long Time.. First Timer There But They’ll Get To Know Me, Waiting To Try Their Take-Out Dinners And Such..“

“The food was just as I remembered“

“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“

“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.“

“The Greek chicken wrap was amazing! Mainly takeout, small place with a few tables. Nice, clean pizza joint atmosphere, but much better food. A little pricey, but a good value, especially considering that it's in a pricey area.

Parking: Small, free parking lot.“

“Excellent food and service.“

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

“My first time ordering from them. The food was good, bacon cheeseburger and fries. On the website it says that you will get fries and coleslaw with any order, but when I got it there was no slaw. I called and the person on the line was very condescending, as if I was lying to get some free slaw. Long story short what I ordered was good, the fries were delicious and the burger hit the right spot. But didn't appreciate not getting what I was promised and treated like a looney when I ask for it.“

“We had an issue with Grub Hub, and ended up having the restaurant cancel the order (ordered large but they only had the small dough at the time, which I didn’t think would feed the family, they were very obliging in canceling) we ordered from Papa Gino’s which was more money, and honestly not great, my son (ASD and ARFID) didn’t like it and refused to eat because it was cold. Rocco’s then delivered a large caramelized onion, and gave it to us for free (we owe you a double tip next time, my husband forgot in the confusion). My son immediately dove in eating the onions off the piece and the rest of the piece of pizza. You have made a customer out of us. Not only because of the excellent customer service but the food was very good and reasonably priced. Can’t wait to try some of the other dishes as well, due to the reviews.“

“Got there large cheese for $6 on my way home today. Wow! Great deal for sure.“

“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!“
