50 Best Italian Restaurants near Birmingham

“Nice dining place. Great food and atmosphere.“

“I would just like to start off by saying our server, Carter, was so charming and caring! He is fantastic at his job and sure knows how to elevate service! So much attention to detail and making sure my group was comfortable throughout our stay. The chicken alfredo is okay but nothing that stands out from another Italian restaurant. Although two of my group members loved the octopus! They couldn’t stop talking about how good the sauce was and ordered bread specifically to keep trying it. The environment was amazingly dark but still lit! Took my group of four 20 minutes to be sat on a Friday night.“

“This review is long overdue.. this is definitely one of mine and my husband’s favorite places to eat. The consistency of the food and service along with the continuity of the staff says so much. Last night I reluctantly tried the steak siciliano because I was raised with my grandma cooking this and I couldn’t imagine eating someone else’s.. let me tell you, it was phenomenal! By far, our favorite menu item and we’ve eaten everything here! Please keep up your standards of food and service here, you guys do it best! Special shout out to Amanda and Anthony.. they are great!!!“

“I was at a function serving 60 people dinner. We discovered that when the advanced order was placed for delivery that it was for the wrong date. The Jets manager was wonderful. He was able to switch the order date and had it delivered in 45 minutes.“

“Always a favorite restaurant for truly delicious (and often more uniquely prepared) food. The butternut squash pasta feature was fantastic, the service was perfectly attentive yet laid back, and the general vibes of the restaurant were relaxing yet elegant. Will return as always.“

“The steak focaccia sandwich was AMAZING!!!!! HIGH RECOMMENDED!!!!“

“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!“

The food was excellent, the ambiance perfect, and our guardian angel, Besnik, provided excellent suggestions all throughout the night! He never rushed us, and never hovered, he was just magically there whenever we needed anything. It was a perfect dinning expirence and we are grateful for it!“

“Nicole was our server, very attentive and fantastic providing recommendations on favored menu options. Shrimp scampi and filet bites for appetizers - Delicious! Dinner salads were even yummy, crisp, fresh vegetables and the dressing was so good! We all enjoyed different meals, eggplant parm, lemon dill salmon, chicken parm, and pasta pesto. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners, ate too much, and recommend this restaurant AND server to anyone looking for a great 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!!!“

“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.“

“The chicken and gnocchi soup was delicious, I'm glad that it comes with free refills. Unfortunately the restaurant was experiencing a breadstick shortage so we couldn't get breadsticks until after our entrées had arrived. My entrée of chicken alfredo with broccoli seemed like they forgot to actually put the Alfredo sauce on the noodles (see picture), so that was disappointing; however the grilled chicken slices on that entrée were good.“

“Amazing food! Best creamy Romano dressing!“

“I absolutely loved everything about my time at Stella!! From waking in the door and being welcomed by Alicia who was very pleasant the whole time she had served my mom and I☺️. The drinks were good and paired really nice with the Tuscan chicken I had that was beyond fresh and very filling. My mom had the lemon chicken, as she described the chicken was very juicy and tender to a T. The portion of the pasta given makes everything great, from the taste and flavor while, if need you could take it home! I will most definitely be coming here for my birthday next week and I’m super excited 😆. Can’t wait to try happy hour one day!!“

“10/10!!!!! Someone clearly enjoyed their pasta! 🥰“

“This restaurant was recommended. This restaurant was amazing delicious food, seasoned to perfection. The atmosphere outside was amazing as the service was top notch“

“I recommend going to see Stephanie. She was more than attentive we were never in need for anything! She gives a new meaning to service with a smile. 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!“

“great restaurant, lovely accomodations“

“LOVE the tiramisu martini!!!! the best!!!“

“It's been a while since our last dine in experience as we've been carrying out for a while (they do a great job of grab-and-go). However for Mitch's birthday we decided to dine-in and couldn't have enjoyed a better experience. Mitch had his fave, chicken parmigiana with Angel hair pasta and I had Chicken Olivia - my favorite with artichokes. It was served with sweet pea risotto and roasted veggies. Yum! For dessert Mitch's birthday cannoli was delish. And we added their unique 20 layer cake- that we'll have leftover cake for the rest of the week - so big!! Next visit won't be so long!“

“Bravo for lunch is the best. They have decent portions and the price is reasonable. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. Just a nice place to eat overall at The Village of Rochester Hills“

“What a find! Our golf group stopped in after golf and everyone enjoyed their meals. Great service. Yummy food. Can’t wait to work our way through the menu. And they have GF for me!“

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

“Love the inside. It's clean and like a step back in time. I love the great staff. I really love the PIZZA! I'd go more often but it's a pleasant stop after a drive to get my haircut. It's a true, real gem.“

“Amazing food! Cool owner who is proud of his food …. And should be!! Best Italian around!“

“Amazing authentic and fresh italian food with personable service! Good prices and generous servings. Me and my husband both enjoyed ourselves and left so stuffed. We were seated with no wait and every dish was served steaming hot. Can't wait to come back!“

“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!“

“This is by far my favorite pizza place! Not only is Green Lantern my favorite pizza company, but this is BY FAR the best Green Lantern location. I have never had a bad experience with Green Lantern and never received food from this location that didn’t more than exceed my expectations. My go to is a round double pepperoni pizza with a toasted sub. Their subs are so good too; they have coleslaw on them which you would think wouldn’t work on a sub but they’re absolutely delicious. They even give you a pickle and a couple peppers with the sub. I get take out a lot but I love to dine in here once in a while. The atmosphere is great, pretty chill and relaxing. You even get free popcorn to snack on while you wait for your food and sip on a nice beer, a yummy cocktail, or even a good old glass of pop. They have the very best pepperonis ever!!! They get all toasty and crispy, they’re so good!!! Green Lantern truly is the king of pepperoni!!! To Green Lantern: You guys are the best! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!“

“Had a 9:15 reservation on Valentine's Day and was not able to get sat until 9:40ish and food took 45 minutes to get to us. This was all completely understandable telling by how busy they were. The entire staff was on top of everything and did an amazing job that night. Because of the long ticket times without even asking they discounted 50% of the bill because of the inconvenience. Will 100% be back what a lovely establishment.“

“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 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!“

“Had a random stop to this Coney during some volunteer work in the area and I was very happy to stop in. Food was great and would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for some great coney that taste like that classic Top Detroit coney spots but out in Pontiac Michigan. Great service, great attitude, great food, even had to tip the waiter who helped because the attention and service was on point off top!!!!“

“Wow. This is, without question, the best pasta I have encountered in years. The seafood fettuccini is a veritable feast—a rich, luxurious dish loaded with an abundance of perfectly cooked shrimp, clams, and crab. The quality and generosity of the ingredients elevate this dish far beyond the standard offering.

Furthermore, this establishment earns high marks for its care toward dietary restrictions. My celiac guest enjoyed a gluten-free pasta option and consumed it with no ill effects, confirming that the preparation is both delicious and safe.

For anyone seeking an exceptional, authentic pasta experience—or needing reliable and tasty gluten-free accommodations—this restaurant is a must-visit.“

“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.“

“Everything here is…incredible!Everytime I come here,I order hotdogs that taste amazing and food for my family.My grandpa says they’re salad is amazing and their food is magnificent and they’re very nice people.Go to your nearest Jimmy’s Coney Grill!“

“From outside it appears to be a large liquor store, inside you realize they are so much more! Great place if you need to grab something for lunch quickly. Sandwiches and pizza slices made fresh and ready to go! They also have x-lg pizza"s that are perfect for a party or the big game. Food is good and reasonably priced. Service is fast and friendly, I love Bushemis would definitely recommend.“

“Excellent pizza. I ordered the Pepperoni Margherita well done, definitely one of the best pizza’s I ever had. The steak tips were also great. I also highly recommend the cherry oatmeal cookie.“
