50 Best Italian Restaurants near Rochester Hills

“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 noticed the all-you-can-eat promotion but knew I wouldn’t eat that much, so I went with a smaller plate instead. I ordered the cheese tortellini with Alfredo and chicken, but it was disappointing. There wasn’t enough sauce, and the flavor was off, way too salty. The chicken didn’t taste great either, and I wasn’t even given the option to choose grilled chicken. The breadsticks were just average.

I’ve seen better feedback on their red sauce dishes, so maybe those are a safer choice. I was also let down that they don’t offer pesto or cacio e pepe, which are usually my go-to options.“

“Best Italian food in MI, absolutely love their food!“

“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“

“Asked for a side of garlic parmesean. I, to my surprise, was rewarded with a generously filled sauce cup containing garlic powder. This stuff is better than whats in my cabinet. Brought me to another world, I see sounds, hear colors, and most importantly, will be a repeat customer.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best place in every aspect“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“My family and I had a lovely dinner here! Our server, SJ, was wonderful! The food was incredible! To start, the bread basket was delicious. I had the Spicy Rigatoni Polomino and it was very flavorful! I also had one of their specials, the zucchini soup, and it was great! I was very impressed with the little things such as filling our water glasses often, to wiping the crumbs off our table in between apps and the entrees. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, I loved it!“

“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.“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to sals since the one in flint closed but let me tell you it definitely took me right back to what I knew and loved so much about this place and our server Greg was just the icing on the cake, He super friendly, personable and just a joy to be around and added to great conversation
Thank you Greg so making our experience even better see you next time“

“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! 🥰“

“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!“

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

“Great value for the money. Well priced. I ordered the Endless Soup, Bread, and Salad Lunch meal for less than $11:00. Choice of 4 types of soup. My favorite was Pasta e Fagioli which was a delicious red and white bean soup with pasta - delicious. With this deal you get to try 4 different soups. My partner tried the Lasagna and was well pleased. Good bang for the buck, this is much better deal than burger, fries, and a drink! I will be visiting more often.“

“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!“

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

“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 ☺️“

“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.“

“Can’t beat T&B!!!!!!!!!!!“

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

“Amazing food and the nicest people!“

“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.“

“Best pizza in the macomb county.“

“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.“

“Absolutely the best most amazing place I’ve ever eaten. not only is every single thing I’ve eaten here delicious, but the service is 100/10.

Me and my sister come here every single week, multiple times. ( we gained most our pregnancy weight here hehe ) if it wasn’t for this place I wouldn’t have had a nice balanced diet and properly gained the weight I needed because I struggle eating pregnant.

My sister just had her baby we even came here right before she went to the hospital for a final meal before labor 😂 we missed out on a few weeks but just came back yesterday. We couldn’t stay away for the food is always a huge craved obsession.

My daughter loves it too 😂🙆🏼‍♀️

Krista, and the chef Franco have become such wonderful parts of our enjoyment here, always check in on us, how we’re doing, and remember the smallest details. We’re always excited to see them, my daughter gets overly joyed and calls them besty😂❤️. Definitely Can’t forget how amazing and sweet Yvonne, Nicole and the manager Chris is too. Never a bad time with any of them, always such good conversations. They’re all such a breath of fresh air and make the meal even more spectacular.

If you haven’t been here yet, definitely stop by ❤️ you will be in for such a treat.

Pricing isn’t bad, quick service, Happy atmosphere, good music

My mother even said she’s been coming here for years too and everything on the menu has always topped anything she’s had at any other place.

Don’t miss out 🥳“

“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.“

“Excellent pizza and excellent service. Curbside pickup is efficient and friendly. LOVE Jets Clawson!“

“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!“

“Great food and fast service“
