9 Best Italian Restaurants near Muskegon

“I ordered "take and bake" spaghetti bolognese (veg) yesterday; along with an order of garlic bread. Food was great and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Nipote's Italian Kitchen. I am going to put in another order today. Check their website for pickup hours. Order a day in advance. You'll be glad you did.“

“Never been to this location but have always enjoyed Olive garden. Went here and was highly satisfied with what was ordered and what was prepared for me. And salad was also top notch dressing is amazing like Italian but on another level. The service provided was amazing. Would highly recommend this restaurant to tourists and pasta lovers.“

“Had an absolutely amazing dinner tonight ! Great service , great atmosphere and great food !“

“Food is always delicious and staff is wonderful“

“The service was prompt and professional, well done. That’s where it ended. The Jets 10 pizza tasted like a burnt tire fire. I’m struggling to get the taste of something rancid and overcooked out of my mouth. I’ve been eating Jets pizza for decades, always exceptional. However the 10 tasted like as if it was cooked on the burning carcass of a Humvee in Mogadishu. I’m considering swearing off pizza all together and convert to veganism. The world is a vampire…“

The combination of mouthwatering thin-crust pizza, warm hospitality, and scenic lakeside views make it a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a local or a visitor to the area, Fricano's is sure to satisfy your cravings for delicious pizza and leave you with fond memories of a true Muskegon tradition.“

“First visit on 5/31/25 was great. A beautiful facility and atmosphere with good service from helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our food choices including the signature bread. Would love to see The Big Meatball (name?) from former Salvatore's on the menu (a big meatball with red sauce/cheese in a baked, tender crust).“

“This gets a golden star for me. Not the best seating area (more bar vibes) however the food makes up for it and you can go in with flip flops!

Quiet restaurant nestled in a quiet neighborhood outside of Muskegon downtown (8mins).

The marinara is made in house and I could see and taste it from the jump. The best mozzarella sticks I’ve had in a long time. Come to find out the cheese was also made in house and it was stringy and delicious.

I was going to try the lobster ravioli, however since I ate the homemade tomato sauce, I quickly changed to the classic lasagna. Immediately, I noticed the taste from the cheese was also made in house! This lasagna was excellent. I never order lasagna unless I’m in an authentic Italian. This one is for the books.

We also had the street corn with chorizo. We are suckers for any dish with chorizo. This was delightful, but I must say the stars of the show were the Cheese and Tomatoes along with dough!

We loved our server Lisa and she was very insightful of the ingredients as well as the surrounding area.

I recommend this place if you like authentic Italian with a full bar. This is not a cookie cutter type restaurant. We also got the Korean pizza, which was delicious. I will be returning to try their plane pepperoni pizza because of the in-house tomato Sauvignon! A pure meal from two southerners that love Italian.“

“I just had Bella Maria cater by husband’s 40th birthday. They were easy to work with and punctual. The food was amazing and the party was a complete hit. Highly recommend.“
