23 Best Italian Restaurants near Forest Hill

“This is easily my new favorite place. Went for a late lunch and we were greeted by everyone from the moment we walked in the door. Everyone was so kind. Our service was great, our server was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. The food was phenomenal and they have great portions! The atmosphere is so cozy and the entire place is absolutely spotless. Such a gem! Cant recommend this place enough!“

“Awesome! Everything was served hot and delicious! The bacon-wrapped shrimp were excellent. A wonderful prelude to an amazing entre.“

“The Power Lunch Specials menu is a bargain at $17.77. The Meatballs & Polenta are excellent. This is 3/4 of the normal lunch menu portion, but is very tasty & extremely filling. The fried calamari is heavy in batter & needs all the lemon juice you can squeeze onto it. The dipping sauces have a lot of hot peppers in them, & are both really spicy. Penne Caprese is fresh & tasty. lovely lunch. Unfortunately, portion sizes vary from day to day. Ask for a full portion. Fettucine Genovese is extremely flavorful. The rich flavor of the cheese enhances the braised beef--a good dish. The coffee had a nice flavor but was watery. It would be much better if they used more coffee.“

“Always a great experience! Great food, great prices, clean location, and tons of TVs to watch the game!“

“Shout out to Basta Pasta - Fallston !!!!! They brought the family Halloween fun to their restaurant! The kids could not stop talking about all the cool Halloween decore! Food was delicious and we r still talking about the pumpkin cheese cake! Definitely get the pumpkin cheese cake! 😌 🎃🎃🎃“

“An unexpected hospital stay changed our plans for Valentine’s Day, but a week later we were able to do carry out. I had the Linguine Primavera with EVOO and my husband had the Chicken Marsala with fettuccine. The meals were fresh, flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Warm soft crusty rolls added to our enjoyment. Portions were so large, it provided a second night’s dinner! This wasn’t our first meal from Acapella and they have always been on point. Will certainly be back!“

“Really like this restaurant, but the Rewards program is not what they say. $5 off coupon is no good. They said use it after it expires. Yeah right.“

“The crab dip is amazing, big hunks of crab and so creamy! The seafood platter is so worth the price. The waitress Brooke is awesome and has such a great sense of humor, she was the best! The owner even came to the table to ask how things were. We live in Dundalk and it is so worth the drive. Oh and the deserts are so good too! Great prices, great staff and great atmosphere!“

“We had dinner reservations at another local restaurant, and when we showed up, they booked it for the wrong night and could not accommodate us. I called Libatore’s and they were able to seat our large party within 20 minutes. They were super helpful and super accommodating and our server. Emma was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved their meals and their drinks…such a great place..“

“we recently discovered this restaurant and everything we have ordered has been amazing! I got the shrimp scampi tonight and omg it was amazing and I still have enough for another 1-2 meals! I can't wait to let the employees at boxhill know I found a good scampi that doesn't use Italian dressing as sauce as we discussed earlier where to get some delicious scampi near by from. My husband loved the bacon chicken ranch pizza and my kids love their pizza in general. I'm pretty picky about my fries and theirs are pretty darn good too! The service is great, wait time is pretty quick! they have the cutest most tasty little loads of bread that went along with the scampi too. give them a try, you won't regret it!“

“Just had the best carry out meal from there tonight. Everything was fresh and cooked just right and hot upon delivery!“

“Cheesesteaks and eggplant parm are always �“

“We used Margherita’s Pizza of Kingsville to cater our daughter’s birthday party and everyone raved about how good the food was! We had chicken parmigiana, Caesar salad and rolls that were all amazing but the absolute hit of the party was the Crab Chesapeake Pasta! It was to die for! There was so many giant chunks of crab meat! And it all just came together perfectly with the sauce! Everyone asked where we got it from and when I was packing up the leftovers, I even had some guests ask if they could take a little bit home too! Highly recommend!“

“Hosted a baby shower for my daughter at The Tower. I could not have asked for more, AJ was great!! The food was phenomenal and the drinks were perfect! If you are looking for a venue, I highly recommend The Tower!!“

“I called in an order and recognized an old voice…the original owner! Fortunatos had a little slump a few years ago with the “other” owners but rest assured, they are back! Our food was terrific!!!“

“I had the best 60th birthday lunch with my Mom yesterday. Our food was amazing. My Mom raved about the California burger and sweet potato fries. I loved the beets which are my favorite item on the menu. The birthday dessert was delicious and decadent. Our waiter was awesome! An overall 10+ experience. Thank you!“

“I’m a pizza snob 100% and I’d have to give this place 5 stars!!! I work for Harford county parks and Rec and we used this place for a work party. When I heard the prices I was expecting not so good pizza and I was completely mistaken. The pizza toppings were huge and NOT greasy at all. We got several different kinds of pizzas and they were all great. I was told the staff was very friendly and that’s hard to find anymore. Thank you and I will be back on my own time to get some grub!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!“
