50 Best Italian Restaurants near Rochester Hills

“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.“

“On 12/27/22 my husband and I hosted a dinner for 18 to celebrate the marriage of my daughter and fiance. Everything was superb. Our server, Cindy, did a remarkable job. Couldn't have asked for anything more. The food was excellent, as well as the Sambucca.“

“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!“

“My wife and I went there as a birthday present from our grandson . Our server was a young lady named Albrey she was very pleasant and did a fantastic job. The food very good .“

“I’ve always wanted to try food from Verona Inspired Italian! I regularly check out their weekly specials on Facebook and couldn’t wait to finally try them out. This was my first visit to the restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious and amazing. We started with the bread and butter- yes, we actually started there because it was that good. We even asked for another basket! Then came the Eggplant Tower, and wow - it was fantastic. I’m a big fan of eggplant, and this dish was perfection: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and pickled onion. You really need to try it to understand how good it is. For the weekly special, we had the Emperor Red Snapper. Absolutely incredible. The Tomahawk Pork Chop and the steak were both delicious as well. Our cocktails and beer were spot-on. Service? 5 stars. Thank you Joy M. The menu has so many tempting options, and we definitely want to come back and try more. P.S. That bread? We took another portion home. So good.“

“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!“

“Wow amazing pizza and bread! Sad we’ve been passing it up this whole time.“

“A wonderful restaurant that we have been enjoying for 8+ years now. We live a bit up north so don’t have the chance to visit as often as we’d like… The atmosphere is Top Notch. Very relaxing, great mood lighting and the decorations are great to take in. We’ve never been disappointed with our food or our service. The manager is a warm and friendly fellow and all the staff are quick to help or offer assistance. Derek the Bar tender did a great job of attending to us and make sure we were comfortable. If you’re in a “rush” this may not be the best place to stop in. The wait for a great meal is not bad at all, but you won’t get fast food or Coney Island fast… and the quality food is way above. I highly recommend stepping out and giving this place a try!“

“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!!!“

“Our dinner was amazing! We got there kind of late and Marija still gave us amazing service. We appreciate it & will be back!“

“First time visiting, was in the area for a doctor's appointment and it sounded yummy. I ordered a Build Your Own Pizza, a variation of a BBQ Chicken Pizza. Was ready when I arrived & it was DELICIOUS! Beautifully done.“

“I have tried dang near half the menu and love it all. the cannoli is hands down the best I've ever had. Everyone I've encountered there has been nice and helpful. Highly recommend stopping in to this place!“

“We went there for Valentine’s day me and my husband February 14/ 2022 the food was so delicious The service there is very good. Nice, quiet and romantic place and fresh food we ordered Lasagna with meat sauce Spaghetti with meat sauce and Caesar Salad And Bruschetta For dessert tiramisu & Flourless Chocolate Davently Recamended 😍👍🥰“

“Nice dining place. Great food and atmosphere.“

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

“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.“

“Very good food and portion sizes.“

“Our experience at Stella’s was simply outstanding — Kaitlyn provided some of the warmest, most attentive service we’ve ever had at a restaurant, checking in at all the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. Every dish we ordered was phenomenal: the steak bites were perfectly seared and melted in your mouth, the vodka penne pasta was rich and beautifully balanced, the chicken masala had incredible depth of flavor, and the spaghetti carbonara was silky, indulgent perfection. The only small suggestion I’d offer is to swap the table black pepper for a pepper mill so guests can enjoy fresh cracked pepper — a tiny touch that would elevate an already exceptional dining experience. We’ll absolutely be back, and we’ll be asking for Kaitlyn!“

“Been coming here for years. Food is great. Always get the soup, salad, and breadsticks. Can’t go wrong with that. I have ONE complaint though. It is a waiter whose name is BUCK (I think). He’s got a southern accent (or sounds like it). This man has been there for years. He is rude & condescending. He said to me and my family when I asked him if my son could have a glass instead of a kid’s glass, Buck said “Last time I checked, it was all over the table.” First off, I had no idea what he was talking about. Wrong customer he’s talking about, not us. Second, you don’t talk to customers that way regardless. And then we came back a few months later, and we were stuck with Buck again. We asked him about something that used to be on the menu and if they still served it and he said “Never heard of it.” We have witnesses him giving the same treatment to other customers as well. How this man has stayed employed this long I’ll never understand.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“I love this place. One of my favorites at all times. Best food, friendly staff and atmosphere is just perfect. 10/10“

“Took my wife for her first time Valentine day we enjoyed the show , not sure what happened with server’s we were given dessert before dinner , dinner was chicken risotto mine was under cooked so I ask could they redo it they was like sure but when it came out it was worse so no dinner for me or my wife, wofe doesn’t like to send food back but I could tell hers was too she only ate the chicken.“

“My Dad is currently in the hospital battling sepsis. We’ve had a difficult time getting him to eat. He asked for lamb chops, so my husband searched until he found Filippa’s. After hearing our story, they made his lamb chops special for him before they were technically even open. Outstanding customer service, and delicious food! We cannot thank them enough ☺️“

“The best Greek salad! And best pizza in Birmingham!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“We ordered a huge catering order. We needed to feed 50 people, this could have fed 80 or more. We had so much leftovers for people to take home- and they loved the food. Restaurant business is tough now of days and we were so happy with our order. Pasta, chicken cutlet, cannoli, fresh bread. So good. Thank you Antonios“

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

“If you want real authentic Italian food; subs, pasta, salads, deserts, and much more, you need to go here. "It's in there and it's very good." Christopher Okano AKA Dr. O , Bay City, Michigan.“

“Best pizza in the macomb county.“

“Great staff and great food. Best pizza and subs around! Highly recommend this store…“

“First time here. Tried the Chicago style. Heavy! The sauce and cheese are very good. Sauce is very robust & tomatoey and the cheese blend is more flavorful than most places. The inside is small, typical of a pizza joint. Couple of chairs and tables adequate while you wait.“

“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!“

“Good gracious, let me tell you about Salerno. First, these portions are ENORMOUS. I can eat 2-3 meals on a $7 portion of anything on their menu. Second, it taste soooo good! We did a self guided tasting menu, spent $60, fed 3 adults with healthy appetites for no less than 3 meals each and we still have left overs. Third, these owners were soooo nice. So friendly on the phone, super quick preparation, so kind when we picked up. Yes, yes and yes!“

“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.“
