Italian Restaurants near Rockford

“Uccello's Rockford always has good food/ service, but we went to go to the "Easter Brunch Buffet" we were told this location was a smaller location and didn't offer the Easter Brunch Buffet. I wish they would have said that when my wife called to make reservations a week prior for the Buffet. Instead we were left scrambling to find somewhere to go.“

“Don’t listen to these reviews! This is the best pizza I’ve ever had in GR. No lies. This is coming from a preggo lady, so you know it’s good. The 1 topping takeout special is a must! The owner is the one usual working, he makes the best pies!“

“Great food and friendly service! Chicken bacon ranch pizza was fabulous! We ordered online and they called us to make sure our pizza toppings were correct before cooking. A restaurant that cares about the quality of food they serve! Local favorite, affordable prices, highly recommend!“

“This was my first time at this restaurant and ordered an all meat burrito. It was very good. Everyone else ordered pizza and pasta. All of our food was delicious. Service was excellent even though it was very busy because it was Valentine's day. We received our food promptly without waiting too long. All in all it was a nice meal for my 91 year old mother on her birthday.“

“The food is delicious! Whatever you order, it is always excellent. The antipasto salad is better than most, very good dressing. The Nduja sausage pizza is special. The ingredients are high quality, and they are put together to make for one of the best pizzas anywhere!“

“Today was my first time going. Had a shot and brew with my brother. We both grabbed Italian beefs to go. Delicious, hot and well seasoned. Our bartender I think was the owner was a pretty cool guy laid back and the atmosphere ? super cool. I'm definitely going back and I heard the Chicago dogs are awesome as well. Keep up the good work!!!“

“Our waiter, Duane, was amazing and hilarious!! Food was so delicious and even though the restaurant was busy, they brought our dishes out quickly. I am not a pasta fan so I ordered the 'Chicken Margharita' and loooved it? Breadsticks were hot and fresh!Vegetarian options: You go, Veggie Lovers!“

“More of a sports bar than anything, at least that's the first impression upon walking on. Friendly and patient waitresses. Sitting at the bar is a blast. Great atmosphere. Delicious food. Perfectly made drinks. I'll definitely be back!“

“Lunch with my husband was delicious today :) We started off with fried pickles, which were hot, crispy, and tasty! We then shared a Margherita Pizza, which was also hot and equally as delicious. The balsamic drizzle on top was a nice touch. Our waiter was attentive and kind. Aside from it being a tiny bit cold inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was nice as well. We'll be back!“

“I ordered the Pickle Pizza because I had never heard of such a thing and it was incredible! So good - rich and buttery with a bit of sourness from the dill pickles and herbiness from the dill, truly the best ever! Another in my party ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and said it was the best ever. Had another pizza (sausage, pepperoni, mushroom) which was also awesome. Dessert pizza and brownie were huge.Highly recommended.We did order delivery but everything was still warm.“

“The lunch buffet was Amazing and pizza was delicious!!! We came in 30 min before it ended and all the pizza was still fresh and hot and lots to choose from. Way better than the lunch buffets in the Sparta area. The friendly staff even made us a fresh pizza with our favorite toppings even though we insisted it wasn’t necessary. We loved the salad bar too. Highly recommended for good pizza in the Rockford / Belmont area.Vegetarian options: Yummy salad bar with chicken & meats tooKid-friendliness: Salad bar had lots of healthy choices and the kids loved creating a salad and having a cinnamon dessert breadstick before leaving, too!“

“more on the expensive side but it’s always excellent pizza. If you are a veteran you get a discount but riding with the app does not have an option to apply the discount. the work around is use the app but select pain at store. when you get there let them know you are.vet and they will adjust the price before you pay. Famous deep dish corners is great too“

“The food is great. From pizza to chicken tenders to bruschetta, you can't go wrong! The real draw though is Leilani (sp?). She is FAR & AWAY the best waitress I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. Been coming here every Saturday for the past two months and the way she handles groups of 15 with ease is beyond impressive. For example: last weekend I ordered chicken tenders, a bit of ranch spilled over the fries, nothing worthy of a complaint or mention. Nevertheless about 6 minutes later out comes a FREE piping hot basket of golden brown fries. She had the customer service skills and requested the chef whip up a complimentary batch. She is the reason we all come back. Constantly going above and beyond and friendly as can be.“

“Love the food at Vitale's. Met a customer there the other day. We both had sub sandwiches, which were excellent. In the past, I have had their pizza and enjoyed that as well. The service was good, and the food arrived quickly. It's definitely a great place to eat, and a go-to for me when I am in the area!“

“These pizzas are delicious. The crust is perfect and the toppings are great. They are all cooked in a high temperature flaming oven right in front of you and are ready in a few minutes. The staff are friendly and are competent in the art of pizza making. Unfortunately the dining area is more like a mall food court or school cafeteria. This is not a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy your dinner. Definitely not a date night location. However, I would recommend it as a good place to bring the kids.“

“This place is seriously amazing!!! The prices are low and the food is so so so good. I’ve ordered the calzone 3 different times and have never been disappointed, the calzone is HUGE with a Parmesan buttery top and filled to the top with fresh meats and veggies. The bacon is so delicious here, I don’t know what it is about it but it’s made perfectly every time. Today, I ordered through Uber Eats and decided to try their sub sandwich and cheesy breadsticks and omg again perfect! On the app it doesn’t have an option for a dipping sauce nor did it say what it came with so to be on the safe side I requested either ranch or pizza sauce and they could charge me if it wasn’t included since it wasn’t in the original description, and I opened the box to find BOTH sauces at no extra charge and holy moly this ranch is to die for. I found my new favorite spot for pizza and saving so much money compared to other pizza places! Go CP pizza you’re the absolute best!!“

“The pizza is pretty good if you like thin crust, though there are not a lot of topping options available as the menu is pretty limited. Takeout is easy, if you are eating in the place is cold in the winter months and definitely could use some updates. Worth trying to see if you like the pizza as it is a very popular West Michigan staple.“

“Kayla and Benito at the Alpine Grand Rapids location are AMAZING!! They made sure our family had plenty of breadsticks, as well as phenomenal quality food. This Fazoli's location is the best in Michigan, as they always go above and beyond to ensure guests have a fantastic experience. Thank you, Kayla, Benito and crew!! We WILL be back, many times. Much better than Olive Garden!“
