50 Best Italian Restaurants near Berkley

“If you’re looking for high quality, authentic tasting wood-fired pizza and don’t want to spend an arm and leg, then you have to come here! Whether you want a nice sit down dinner experience or just a quick take out order, Crispelli’s has you covered.“

“Highly recommend! Food and Service are GREAT!!“

“This is the only Jets location that is perfect every single time. Any other Jets seems to always ignore the specifics, like bake level, sauce amount, and crust seasoning. If you ask for extra sauce, they give you the perfect amount. If you want heavy Cajun seasoning, they nail it. It’s as if this location is a completely different brand. If it’s a little out of your way versus another Jets location, go that extra mile because it’s sooooooo worth it.“

“Amazing food! We loved the Doversole, bucatini and every other dish ordered! The staff was equally as wonderful as the food.“

“We hosted our baby shower at D’Amato’s in December, and it was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. It’s such an amazing spot for a private, intimate event—we had around 50 guests, and the space was perfect. The entire process was seamless, the food was unbelievable, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make the day special. Everything exceeded our expectations, and our guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. I would highly recommend D’Amato’s for any special occasion!“

My wife and I have been back many times just for her good cheer she seems to pass on to all around her! 5 stars for Stephanie and Como’s for having such a great staff!“

“All delicious except a for very boring side salad. House dressing was great but the iceberg lettuce had six chick peas and two pieces of tomato. Step it up Tony's!“

“Everything about our experience was phenomenal!! We brought our 88 year old mother out for a birthday lunch and she loved the place. We were a party of 6 and the restaurant was more than accommodating. Our service was extremely exceptional...Rebecca was so great she timed out the food and course perfectly.our glasses were always full and she brought out a complementary dessert with a candle that was much appreciated..thank you Rebecca for making our time so lovely!!!“

“Chelsey makes the best martinis I’ve had in a while! I’m VERY picky with my martinis. When you pay $20 for a drink, you want it made perfectly. Chelsey was also our server. At first she took my martini order and had the bar make it. Then for my second, she made it herself. TOTALLY different drink than what was made the first time. Chelsey was an attentive server, great personality, and impeccable service. We bonded quickly and I told her when my boyfriend and I come back, we’re only requesting her.“

Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful evening! We can’t wait to come back!“

“My daughter and I went to Andiamo and had a lovely time. The food was great and staff was a well-oiled machine moving throughout the restaurant. The bonus was that there was live music and very good music at that! It was a very entertaining experience. Bravo to Andiamo!“

“On Oct 21, 2026, My friends mom and I visited your establishment for lunch. Due to a recent fall and health issues, I had my seated 4 wheel walker with me.( I am 60, and my friend 79). Ava, a beautiful, friendly, and very customer oriented server/hostess went above and beyond to accommodate my physical incapacitated afflictions. She directed us to a booth since my concern was sitting on hard chairs due to my injuries. I didn't want my walker to inconvenience any traffic flow, and Ava immediately offered a close location out of staff and customers way yet within reach for me to retrieve. My first visit back to Olive Garden is once again memorable. The ordering suggestions that Ava made to keep myself within budget were superb. My guest and I enjoyed the soup, the salad, the bread sticks and shared an appetizer of the 5 meatballs. Top Notch delicious food as always, yet, our hostess/server made it extra special. For her age, it is so nice to see someone who enjoys their job, makes customers feel special, and checks on them with that continuously smiling, friendly, genuine attitude. She needs to be recognized for the valued employee she is! As a nonpaid reviewer, I acknowledge and promote services and the people who stand out. Positive recognition deserves to be acknowledged. Olive Garden of Rochester Hills is lucky to have Ava as an employee..... Please share this with her. Sincerely, a truly satisfied customer! I will always remember that lunch that day Oct 21, 2026 Wednesday.. (Beth and guest)“

“we had a wedding there last night the LaRosa wedding and Nick the bartender and his team was awesome. The food was incredible. The service was beyond. I recommend to do a wedding there. These people are fabulous.“

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.“

“I order a pizza a week from Zino's and have been coming here for 8 years, so--yep--over 400 pizzas! And not a bad slice among them! Seriously good pizza made just the way you like it with great crust and generous toppings. Friendly owner and staff, as well. Highly recommended!“

“Wonderfully quaint and charming little place! Food was excellent and so was the service! Highly recommend! Don't leave without trying the limoncello! 😋“

“Excellent meal from start to finish. We celebrated our anniversary here and it was among the best service we have received at any restaurant.

The meal started with a nice note waiting at our table and a couple of glasses of champagne, bread service was provided - very good focaccia style with high quality side of olive oil.

We ordered two apps , the black rice arancini with crab and the yellowfin crudo. Both were outstanding and I was surprised when the arancini was served made from the black rice which is a staple on their menu. I may not have read the menu right but wasn’t expecting that. Very unique texture and great flavors for an arancini which we like to order at many different restaurants.

The crudo was extremely fresh and very light with complex flavors and not overly acidic. The fish shined thru. Next we split the pink Caesar which was a unique take on a Caesar that I believe had walnuts in lieu of traditional croutons and once again very fresh and delicious flavor for a salad. The dressing was lighter and less salty than many Caesar dressings but you could still taste some anchovy.

At this point the meal was going great and our server and the kitchen continued to time it perfectly. Our server also provided knowledgeable recommendations and reserved the last fish special for us which he had asked us when we began ordering - a touch that I appreciated as this turned out to be the highlight of the meal before dessert.

The entree was a grilled turbot - not a fish I am familiar with and our server explained it is similar to a Dover sole. Spot on. Grilled perfectly with a texture less flaky than typical sole and reminding me a bit more of a swordfish. One of the best pieces of fish I’ve had dining out.

We finished the meal by ordering the baked Alaska which was great and not a dessert I personally had eaten before. Quite the presentation. That said our server also added us a comped piece of the chocolate cake which I believe is flourless and my wife and I were both surprised to find that we enjoyed it even more than the baked Alaska as it wasn’t on our radar to order.

Samy and Matt have quite a team going at forest and the kitchen is on point. Multiple check ins from management and our server while also allowing us plenty of time to celebrate our night together. We’ve been fans of Phoenicia and Layla for many years but I would honestly say that this meal at Forest elevated it to their top restaurant in my mind. This is the level of service that you look for when celebrating but you could tell that the restaurant is consistently very busy as even every seat at the bar was full during our meal.

Last addition is that the updated interior was very nice and the vibe of the restaurant was intimate and easy to have a good conversation. Also had friendly patrons we chatted with sitting next to us.

4th or 5th time I’ve eaten there and never been disappointed but this meal was above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. Thanks“

“My reviews are few and far between, but I did feel the need to speak on Stellas. After several visits over the past few months, this has become a go-to for me.

It’s obvious that the decor and ambiance have been crafted with great intent. The music selection often provides a lounge vibe that creates a relaxed atmosphere. The staff, who were obviously carefully chosen, have been superb. Allison, especially, who typically helms the bar area, gracefully operates with a level of poise and attentiveness that stands out.

I have yet to order anything on the menu that hasn’t been fresh and delicious. I’ll surely continue to frequent Stellas.“

“I had the Chicken Athena tonight. Outstanding! Fresh ingredients including fresh olives, and chicken. You could pay 2-3 times more at other restaurants, and not nearly as good as Christine's. This place is a real find!“

“absolutely beautiful restaurant !! me and my friend had the best time. the vibes were immediately immaculate the second we walked through the door. the staff were so kind and food was very fast. the quality is amazing. you won’t be disappointed coming here !!“

“The Warren location had fast, hot delivery, tonight! Yum!! So excited to finally see a hometown (Toledo) staple in my neck of the woods!“

“I recently moved to HP and tried this place out. I ordered a large pineapple pizza with bread sticks. Everything was really good, even as cold leftovers the next day. Staff was pleasant when I picked up my food. I will definitely order again.“

“We had 6 people and a dog and came here for the outdoor seating. After seeing us outside in the cold, they made an exception and let us in with our dog to eat in the heat. Food was amazing and our waiter was very attentive. Area was clean and service was amazing.“

“I love this pizza place. The delivery is so fast. The pizza is banging. Just had some and it temporarily cured my depression. 10 out of 10.“

“What a great spot! A hidden gem. The food is so good, I can’t enough. Good wine selection. The service is great. The atmosphere is very quaint and warm. I have introduced many of my friends to this place and they continue to go back. This is hands down one of my top 3 favorite places in Michigan. I highly recommend it!“

“the best pizza around and their cauliflower crust pizza is amazing You will not even need any toppings I recommend it They're covid compliant 😷😷😷“
