50 Best Italian Restaurants near Royal Oak

“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!“

“great restaurant, lovely accomodations“

“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.“

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

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.“

“Bella Limone could be the best place to eat in Royal Oak, if not for the subpar service.
My family and I have enjoyed birthdays and family gathering here at Bella Limone and the food is always amazing. The atmosphere of the restaurant is comforting. But there is always something off about the service. Every time I’ve gone, I’ve run into some issue with the service, whether it be servers forgetting to take drink orders, infrequently returning to the table, or making off putting remarks. It’s a family-style restaurant, but often I find myself missing serving utensils and clean plates.
Despite the service flaws, Bella Limone is definitely still worth a visit. The food and drinks are always fantastic. If the service got a little bit more of an upgrade, especially around how the family-style dining is done, it would be flawless!“

“good good Pizza 🍕👌 pizza“

“just the vibe the food is the icing on the cake“

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

“We planned on trying a few other pasta spots for Valentine’s Day, but everything was booked solid. Ended up giving the new kid on the block, Oak & Reel, a shot—and I’m glad we did. The veal-stuffed ravioli was unreal. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert—it’s non-negotiable. And the Banana Run cocktail? Dangerously good.“

“Amazing food! Staff is incredibly attentive and present to explain each dish! Minimalist and calming environment to enjoy a nice dinner without being overwhelmed as you might in a large restaurant.“

“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!“

“1st time coming here. wish I would have known about this place before now.. So glad seen it on a TikTok video. We will definitely be back again . Chicken Parm and House salad was very good . only issue we had was found out after they had a Specials Sheet and we never seen it or was told about . my wife would have definitely had the fish Special 😔.. but next time will make sure we ask I guess to make sure we see it..“

“Best steaks in town sure gonna miss it“

“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!“

“Oh MAN Rocco's is the place I have searched for in vain until last year when I tried them for the first time. Since that first meatball sub I have had almost every sandwich on the menu and so far not one has disappointed! Today I had the Corner Deli and was transported to Italian paradiso! In case you non-Italians did not know, ciabatta is the Italian baguette and Rocco's bakes many fresh loaves several times per day! Usually it is still warm from the oven even if you get a cold sandwich! There is no better sandwich bread in my progenic-Italian opinion! They are in Midtown on Cass just East of Mack. Try them if you have yet to do so. You will thank the gods!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Great food! Fast service. The cheesy bread was delicious“

“Amazing food! Best creamy Romano dressing!“

“I love ❤️ it the first time!“

“Great subs serving Redford area!!!“

“We have been going to this restaurant since 2019. Service is always great. We have tried several entrees over the years and have settled on a few favorites. My wife's is the Tortellini alla Panna. If I'm hungry enough I get the very tender and tasty Braised Short Ribs with Strozzapreti Pasta. If not as hungry, I go with the Lasagna alla Bolognese. We also share a dessert. Our favorite is the Tuxedo Cake which is perfect to share for 2 after those generous-portioned entrees.“

“Best pizza in the macomb county.“

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

“I love the place. The staff was very nice. I came with my friend. They were all very lovely. Very supportive of us coming in. In fact, they let us use the second table for our pizza and the table we were sitting at for the pizzas that were we’re gonna eat on that table. I could recommend this place even more. Way more better than jets and all those other pizza places. 10/10 would recommend anyone.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing..so much food for the price.we were full before we received the entrees.the salad is one of a kind.great atmosphere and the waitress Rebecca was so exceptional and sweet we will be back .I highly recommend this location!!!“

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

“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 🥳“

“What a great spot! A hidden gem. The food is so good, I can’t enough. Good wine selection. The service is great. The atmosphere is very quaint and warm. I have introduced many of my friends to this place and they continue to go back. This is hands down one of my top 3 favorite places in Michigan. I highly recommend it!“

“Me and My girlfriend love Andiamo-Warren and their Showroom. There is no such thing as a bad meal here. No matter what you order, it's delicious. We go here for dinner at least once a month My first beverage taste test is always a Cosmo and they outdo themselves here. We highly recommend!“

“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!“

“I went here over the weekend for brunch and it was my first time dining. The restaurant is nice. They opened at 11a, we got there probably a little bit before one and was seated right away. They seemed short staffed while we visited, our waitress was doing everything from taking orders, making drinks behind the bar and bringing food for multiple tables. So we definitely understood and offered patience. I had a pineapple mimosa and my friend had a peach Bellini, the drinks were good. I did try to order a second mimosa and was informed that they ran out of Prosecco (it was prob still a few hours after starting brunch around that time). My friend ordered and omelette and she enjoyed her food. I ordered a fritada, but it wasn’t a frittata. I asked the waitress to double check and she stated that is their frittata. It was more so scrambled eggs with feta on top of spinach. It was good but just definitely wasn’t a frittata, they may want to change the name of that dish 😩“
