50 Best Italian Restaurants near Southgate

“OUTSTANDING!! Every bite, packed with flavor. The best lobster ravioli I've ever had and the scallops, OMG.
The oyster Rockefeller's, was so so. Still good but should've ordered the calamari.
Love this place. Better the make a reservation.“

“Everyone was so kind! There was a minor spill at the table where the glass broke and they were so on top of moving us to another table to avoid any injury from the glass. Our server, Brandi, was absolutely phenomenal! She was sweet, professional, kind, and accommodating! Food was absolutely incredible!“

“We had a really great experience at Olive Garden, and I definitely wanted to take a moment to recognize our server, Kyle, because he truly went above and beyond to make our visit a great one.

From the moment we were seated, Kyle was friendly, professional, and attentive. He checked on us frequently throughout the meal without ever making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. He was very knowledgeable, made sure we had everything we needed, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we were having a good experience. It’s not often that you come across a server who puts that much effort into taking care of their customers, and Kyle absolutely deserves recognition for it. His attitude and customer service really made our experience that much better.

The restaurant itself was also very clean, clear, and well organized. Everything was in order, the dining area was comfortable, and the staff we interacted with were all friendly and welcoming. You could tell that the team takes pride in creating a pleasant environment for their customers.

As for the food, everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The food came out hot, fresh, and prepared exactly the way you would hope. The quality and portion sizes were very good, especially considering the prices. Everything felt fairly priced, and we definitely felt like we received good value for what we paid.

Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, fair prices, a clean and organized restaurant, and friendly staff all made for a really enjoyable visit. But honestly, Kyle was the standout. Having a server who is that attentive, personable, and willing to go the extra mile can make a huge difference in a dining experience.

Thank you to Kyle and the entire Olive Garden team for making our visit such a positive one. We will definitely be back!“

“Best pizza downriver. I've been a customer 30 years and let me tell you....their pizza is hard to beat. Thick crust, cheese and other toppings picked high. Love Romas.“

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

“Great experience. Kimberly went above and beyond. Will definitely return.“

“GRACE is an amazing server, great at suggestions she is personable and delightful. The food was everything her recommendations on food and beverages did not miss‼️“

“Super fresh subs and veggie tray. Gonella's trays were a hit for our party!“

“Food was amazing and staff was incredible“

“The best way to describe this pizza is Freddy style. This is truly one of a kind pizza. It’s not only quality tomatoes and moots but a cornicione like no other. The staff even elevated the experience with their hospitality. Top 10 pizza in the US“

“My son, who's moving to SanDiego, treated me there. He's been several times. Ambience, service, dinner and dessert were all excellent. Coffee was pretty darn good too. Can't go wrong!“

“I honestly don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review for Alpino because my husband and I love this place so much! It has become my restaurant of choice to celebrate my birthday for many reasons. I love that they keep the beautiful patio open even during the hottest of days (which is usually what it is for my July birthday), they have the best seasonal menu additions that use local ingredients, and their laid back yet elegant charm is exactly what we always look for. The food is amazing! We love unfussy food that lets the quality ingredients shine and the raclette with a touch of honey just makes me grin from ear to ear (not to mention the tomato soup that is out of this world). The Frulingzauber "spring magic" cocktail is my favorite of all time. I would drink one every day for the rest of my life if I could. Of course, none of this would matter if the people weren't wonderful at Alpino, but they are just as warm and inviting as the food. I loved that they all signed a birthday card for me when we were there last. This is definitely a gem of a place that you don't find everywhere.“

“This place was quite delicious. I would recommend getting a 10:00 to 2 as opposed to the five to one like I did. That was all my fault! At least a 10/2 to would have had a better bread to meet ratio. Just my opinion! Lol. It was really good. But it definitely needed more meat and cheese than less! Close to the airport. They do take card or cash. Does have a parking lot. And a fun little police car out front!“

“GREAT RESTAURANT“

“Roman Village Cucina Italiana is absolutely phenomenal. Their homemade pastas, pizza, entrees, seafood and specialty dishes are incredible. The food is particularly amazing. Their wine list is extensive and selected with care. They have signature dishes that have earned them a stellar reputation within the city of Dearborn/Detroit border where it's located and the Metropolitan Detroit area in general. Come for lunch or dinner, make sure you have dessert and try something new each time you visit. Everything is spectacular. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Very well done.“

“My wife and I finally stopped in last Wednesday after wanting to try it for years but never being in the area during their open hours (Tuesday through Saturday 4-9). We were not disappointed. I had the Chicken Gregorio which was fantastic as was the stuffed pepper soup. My wife had the Chicken Parmigiana which she loved and the Ham and Potato soup which she said was delicious. The bread and oil was great as well. We enjoyed watching the train circling above. All staff were friendly and helpful. A great experience.“

“Tonight I attended a wedding at C & G and could not be more impressed, and also pissed at myself for not patronizing this welcoming restaurant sooner. I’m lactose intolerant and allergic to chicken. The staff was incredibly accommodating and gracious. This is not often a feeling I receive when bringing up food allergies. The food & drinks were so incredibly tasty and the views were unreal. The Train station, spires of St Anne’s and the Ambassador Bridge all in one shot. Turn to the left and you have the beautifully landscaped Roosevelt park to stroll through after enjoying the back porch. I’m so blown away, and so happy my friend finally got me here! Thank you for a dreamy night.“

“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!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and AMAZING food!! The Strawberry Tiramisu was beyond wonderful. We will definitely be back!“

“Detroit’s alive, the people talk too much, but I got business, Sibley Gardens. My rules. My favorite. Don’t test me.“

“I had to prepare some food for a potluck, but I had a pretty full schedule. I called Liberati's and they were able to accommodate me on about 36 hours notice with 3 of their 3' party subs. They were on time and ready when I arrived and Frank himself helped to load them into my car. I wasn't ready for what came next: texts, mail, and messages all saying thank you for a great contribution and half of them asking me where to get them. You clearly can't go wrong with LIberati's.“

“Excelente !!!!! Para una buena estadía y tomarte algo refrescante“

“We went there for mother's day. They where very busy. We had rsvp. We got sat on time. Our server was very busy many tables and possibly a issue at one of them. We waited for a bit before our orders were taken. But the server was very professional. To took very great care of us. Was very apologizing for our wait. He may our visit well worth it. I can say my family of 6 was very happy with all the foods we were given. We will definitely go back!“

“Delicious Italian food!!!“

“Food is always. delicious I have never had bad service if it’s a party of four or it’s a party of 20 but they’re all credible people there. Mexican vote tomorrow load up. Certainly worth drive.“

“Went there tonight and waitress Addison acted like it was killing her to wait on Us. No salt and pepper no cheese for pasta so sorry I left a tip. Place was dead and food is Great but $24.95 for pasta high. Plus $6.00 for loaf of bread is BULL.. I brought friends there won't come back prices are to high. And the lady that seated Us blonde was not personal either. /“

“I’m kind of new to the neighborhood and I was looking for a different pizza place. Delivery was fast and pizza was excellent. I would recommend them. I’m willing to try them again.“

“The best pizza I've ever eaten, been eating it since the building was in the Plaza 35 years ago. Love Baldos“

“The ready to use lasagna sheets are so much better than boxed noodles. Easy to use and such a time saver.“

“Great food and service and a nice price.“

“Honest, this place is awesome. You gotta try the Michigan Cherry sausage. It's the best. Holiday flavor is great also. The owners are great. Very friendly and helpful. Would totally recommend“

“I have visited salute taverna several times, and every time it’s a wonderful experience. Great food, friendly service, and they even have live music. I highly recommend it!“

“Cariera's is what so many other Italian restaurants are trying to imitate. We've gone with kids and felt welcomed, we went on a date and enjoyed the romance.

Like a microcosm of life itself: the pleasure of food, the warmth of family, the joy of being loved.

Come by with a loved one and see what I mean.“

“Up until tonight, which is New Year's Eve and also my birthday, this restaurant has been my favorite place to eat. Not only is the food spectacular, but the service has always been perfection...until tonight. Usually, the staff is so attentive, and I never have to remind them to bring anything. Tonight, so many things were forgotten and/or incorrect. The server had to be reminded twice to bring us bread. The butter was frozen, so it was impossible to spread, and, in the past, the butter was always room temperature, and that detail was appreciated. Next, my drink was forgotten and the server had to be reminded. My husband requested that his drink be served with dinner which it wasn't and delivered to the wrong person. My friend's meal was incorrect, so she had to sit and watch everyone else eat as she waited. The restaurant did give her a complimentary soup for the mistake, so that was nice. What was probably most upsetting was that we requested dessert plates for cupcakes that we brought and the server told us that we would be charged $20, just for using dessert plates! We weren't asking for a cake to be cut or served, just plates to put our cupcakes on and it was a $20 charge! Absolutely ridiculous, especially since we were a group of 7 that ordered drinks and dinner. So, we had to have our cupcakes in the parking lot. Last, the server told us that they could not split up a bill, so we had to sit there figuring out all the math, and the server used the cash that was part of his tip from one friend to reduce the balance from another friend's bill who was paying with a credit card. It was such a mess, and I was very disappointed. This used to be my favorite restaurant for years, but with so many mistakes, it's hard to want to come back, which is a shame because the food is amazing. My advice is to not come for large parties! I hope management fixes the training of their servers. It used to be outstanding. Not sure who dropped the ball so far.“

“Stopped in here with my friends Salem and Fillip, and Golden Crust Pizzeria & Chicken completely blew us away.

The crust was done to perfection—golden, crisp, and loaded with fresh, high-quality toppings. We also got some of their fried chicken, and it was hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes were super generous, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything came out fresh.

If you’re in Amherstburg and craving top-tier pizza and chicken, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We had the best time at the Roc this weekend. Best lasagna I’ve had in a long time, we were with a big group and everyone loved their entrees. Tiramisu was perfection, too, and excellent wine selection. Service was so friendly and attentive. Really cozy/intimate vibe. We went upstairs to Wizeguys for drinks after and had a great time there, too! Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!“

“What’s there not to love about this location. We come in from Essex for the Detroit style pizza’s as much as we can.“

“Tried Paul’s for the first time today; we wanted to try everything so we ordered pizza ribs fish and bbq wings. Everything was delicious!! We will be ordering again!“

“12/10 my one, and only Detroit Pizza experience.“

“This BLT was amazing and the ladies working today were great!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Medusa Cucina Siciliana. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of authentic Italian flavors. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a relaxed meal. The service was attentive and friendly, and everything came together to make the evening truly enjoyable.“

“My first time & the pizza was Great!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“After the celebration service for my grandpa, Jimmy Baker, our family gathered at Del’s Pizza in Trenton, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about Tony and his staff.

Tony graciously opened the restaurant early for us from 12–3 PM, even though those are not their normal business hours, so our family could simply be together, share a meal, and spend time reconnecting after a very meaningful day.

That kind of kindness and flexibility is rare today. You can tell Del’s Pizza is more than just a restaurant — it’s a place that truly cares about people and the community.

The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and Tony treated our family like his own. We are incredibly grateful for his generosity and hospitality during such an important time for our family.

If you’re looking for a local place to support in Trenton, Del’s Pizza is absolutely one of them.“

“Went Sunday and got the Marshall's Spaghetti Sandwich Was Delicious! Only thing I wish was Different was The way you Order lol getting Cold in Michigan to be standing in a alley while the wind cuts right through you lmfao. Definitely Will Be Back Though 🤟🏼“

“best pizza around. staff are absolutely amazing also. is my only go to pizza place.“

“the bruchetta is awesome. cant place any order without bruchetta. Soo good“

“Nice enough, I'd return for brunch. Had their farmers omelet, a lot of food, a little bland but a little salt and pepper made it delicious. They'd get 5 stars but I'd need to see how they do on a return trip to be certain enough for 5 stars.“
