29 Best Italian Restaurants near Elkton

“Haven’t been to Olive Garden in years and decided to go. The food was extremely good. My server Theo was extremely nice and attentive. The manager came out to ask if everything was ok and the hostess was also very polite. Great atmosphere I did go around lunch time.“

“Nice place, nice food, great costumer Service! It was our first time at that store and it was a great experience! The female manager was very nice and helpful she recommended us to try their best dishes and we really liked all of them! Totally recommend it“

“I was so excited to move to Maryland and find out Nick and Joe's were still in business. N &J was the spot to hit if you went to the Castle Mall.
I have decided to redo my previous review because I never read the reviews before and it looks as if someone is out to sabotage N&J REVIEWS. That is not fair because this is somebodys family who has worked hard for over 50 years. The one thing I will agree with is the girl who answers the phone ,sure does not like her job, she is rude and doesn't like for you to ask questions about anything. I've only ordered delivery because of a car accident so I can't speak on the establishment atmosphere itself. I know back in the day we loved going in because they would speak Italian and we would bring our friend who spoke Italian and the things they would say that they didn't know we could here were crazy stories we loved to eavesdropin. They also loved beautiful woman who they would also speak about but in a great way.
I can tell by reading the reviews and comments that have been on here lately are being made from someone that has a grudge against them and are having people that I'm sure never been there to put bad reviews up. I would ask people to go there themselves and form your own opinion. I've had things not up to par but nothing to do with the taste and quality of the food. I would not being going there for 50 yeara if the food tasted the way the reviews said. I hope in the future people leave an honest review because even if you don't have your own business karma will get you another way . Good luck in the future Nick and Joes ... maybe just critique a few things and maybe have the phone person who is the first representative of your business go to a customer service training course on line because her attitude could already set somebody's 2mind to having a bad experience so then they look at every point of service with not so rose colored glassesI wish your nothing but the best and I just ordered your 2 medium pizza specials one with jalapenos... face 5 star for atmosphere because I'm not going to give bad stars for something idk about

“Very reminiscent of the Big Elk Liquor store sub (if you’re old enough to remember lol) I was very surprised at how amazing my Italian sub was! Meat in abundance sliced thin, and the bread and greens were amazing! Best sub I’ve had in years!!!! I don’t know why I waited so long to try. 10 stars from me and my husband!! Thank you Sonny!“

“Great food. great service. probably the best Italian cuisine I've had in the area.“

“Very very DISAPPOINTING ☹️ They are good for basic Italian specialties and usually never had a problem. I am a regular customer and spend a good amount of money with them. Today was different. ordered the supposedly homemade baked penne pasta. it came sloshed in an oversized round container with only half the cheese on top and it was very runny. A monkey could have done better 😒🐒 Plenty of other places to get basic Italian 😒😒😒 I called to let them know about this and they didn't even offer to make it right 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️“

“I enjoyed eating here again, was awhile since I last dined in, glad it’s open now. I live about 25 minutes away from my closest Seasons, nice to eat the food fresh again, was delicious 😋“

“upon entrance you are greeted with a smile and made to feel right at home. the staff is friendly and entertaining. lots of laughs! the food is so delicous it makes you dance in your seat and actually contemplate licking the plate clean! thank you for such a great service to the community and all of us travelers! our appetites thank you too!“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“Best cheese steak I've had in a long time. Roll was soft plenty of meat and the extras I ask for was their. Please don’t change what you did tonight 8/13. Love being able to get order through drive-thru. Thank you“

“I have to say this was by far some of the best food I have ever had, customer service was great food was awesome! I’m happy I came here!“

“Excellent food, service, & dessert! Reese was our server on his first day!! He was excellent, very attentive! The pumpkin ravioli was delicious!!“

“Excellent service and delicious food at reasonable price for the quality.“

“Gnocchi were delicious. Next time there I'm getting something with meatballs. Friend gave me a bite of her's and it was perfect.“

“Very clean and very friendly. The owner is a really nice guy, he checked up on my son and I and you can tell that he loves what he does very passionate about his food. The cheesesteaks are really good will not disappoint. The sandwich is filled just right so you can eat it and not wear it. The chicken parm sandwich my son tore it up and said it was one of the best ones he has had. French fries are the way they are supposed to be not seasoned or curly just plain great fries. Buffalo wings damn good size not from a baby chicken full grown bird, got the mild sauce and it had a good flavor. Now the pizza! Great crust, thin on the deck and holds really well no saggy slice. True mozzarella not mixed with Provalone you will be able to tell when you taste it, the sauce on the pizza is perfect not sweet or to thick just right. Planning on going back to try more food. Very good menu to choose from and I can imagine it won't disappoint either. This family that runs this place I believe cares about quality to customers, good people, good food what else can you ask for? Next time I'll actually take pics of the food lost track after I bit into the cheesesteak.“

“Even if the name makes it sound like a gelateria, this place is much more than that! The food was very good, creative, and offered healthy alternatives. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. On my next trip to the US, I’ll definitely come back to this restaurant.“

“We love the tap room best food around 🦀🦀🦀🦀“

“They are always so fast....one time they were behind, (not their fault) but gave us a free 2 liter before we could even think about complaining lol. Food is fresh and is good! never has a complaint. Drivers are always cool...always tip them!“

“Tony's is a local Italian restaurant in Newark along Chestnut Hill Road (DE 4) in a shopping plaza anchored by the local Shoprite. The dining area is basic, mostly what you'd expect from a local restaurant. However, the decor could use a little bit of an update and then it'd be just right.
The menu features what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant in the orbit of Philadelphia - pizzas, pastas, strombolis, etc. and have a great variety of different pizzas. For my meal, I went with a vegetarian pizza (spinach, tomato and ricotta cheese) and an order of garlic bread. The pizza itself was pretty tasty and the ricotta made a good contrast to the mozzarella on the pie itself and the vegetables were generally nice and fresh. The crust was also pretty decent as it could hold the slice and had just enough crisp for a good thin-crust pizza. The miss for me was the garlic bread. I don't know if it was the preparation for my particular order, but my bread had some minced garlic topping the butter on the bread rather than well-dispersed in the butter. I love garlic but trying to eat those pieces of minced garlic wasn't for me as it was bitter. I would like to see them better incorporate the garlic into the bread as that might help the read out. The garlic aside, the bread was nicely baked and had the butter and garlic been better spread I would have really enjoyed it.
The service was decent as well. I didn't have to wait too long for a refill and the server made sure I was take care of at my table.
Overall, it's a nice neighborhood Italian restaurant for those local to Newark and you'll at least get an enjoyable meal if you visit here.“

“best pizza around“

“The gluten free pizza is delicious and safe for those with even the most gluten sensitivity! Highly recommend!“

“Going to Tony's is always a wonderful experience. The owners and staff are amazingly warm and friendly. And of course, the food is mouth watering delicious; the very best around.“

“Took grandkids to 896 Pie today after a swim in the pool. Great service and amazing pizza. Brent is the owner and he was so friendly and engaged with his customers. All the grandkids and two adults enjoyed the perfectly cooked pizza. Thanks for a great visit“

“The sauce is very watery. The meatball not homemade. I was disappointed“

“We came here on a random Friday looking for simple Italian food and we were not disappointed! We got a Stromboli and a chicken eggplant salad, both very generous and delicious.
Staff was also on point !
-> Be aware small card surcharge“

“I give them a five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating. I always knew this little shop was tucked in this shopping plaza but I never ever tried. Well let me just say I was missing out. I’ve now tried several different items and different pizzas and all of them have been delicious. You gotta try the BBQ beef cheesesteak (add extra meat and extra cheese) and BBQ chicken pizza. Wow 👍👍. I can tell they get slammed with takeout and delivery orders. Great staff. They’re my new go to.“

“It was really good thanks!“

“amazing pizza would return to area just for this pizza“

“Second time ordering from here, food is fresh pizza is very good, and buffalo wings were good ,excellent service great customer service.“
