14 Best Italian Restaurants near Sparta

“Best food you money can buy. Great atmosphere. The food is fantastic, you won't be dissapointed. Service is great.“

“My wife and enjoyed our 55th anniversary with dinner at Amore'. Chef Jenna visited every table in our area and asked about every course we ordered. This is by far the best restaurant in the Grand Rapids area: we ordered the 5 course Chef's menu and each had something different from appetizers through desserts so we could taste all. From the waiter, the live music, our beverages, and Jenna's attention paid to all, the best meal ever.“

“Just had Nonnos cater a small event and I have never worked with a restaurant so accommodating and helpful! It was quite short notice and they were easy to work with! Food was amazing and catering portions were generous!“

“The food was good on my end. My man had a small clump of hair in his food. They actually took his food off the bill due to the hair! The really made our stay better! I got the tour of Italy and my man had the 5 Cheese ziti besides that our experience was great. Unfortunately had to put 4 stars on the food just because of the hair. I tried to capture the hair in the photos and our dishes“

“Food and atmosphere have always been great. However, lately the pizza sauce flavor has declined. In addition - the side salad is terrible. A bowl of dry spring mix with a few tomatoes and a handful of cheese. Flavorless. A better mix of greens - add some romaine and iceberg, toss on a couple cucumbers. Meatballs! Yum!“

“Their lasagna is amazing and the wet burrito is the best I have ever had and I have tried a lot of burritos! Great service and family friendly, the staff interacts with you. Large tap selection too!“

“Every time I’ve been here the experience was amazing. They opened their doors to our church for a fellowship brunch and Kenny did an awesome job! The pizza taste so good, especially the Pickle pizza. Definitely recommend trying it out.“

“Hands down great food. We ordered a 2 topping pizza, manicotti and a pizza sub... and we loved it all! The sauce is delicious... the bread is great.. the crust is perfect and we all walked away raving about it. It was one of those meals you will never forget. We live an hour away but will make sure to stop by every time we are in the area! And the staff... the icing on the cake. Great and memorable experience“

“We frequent here for lunch quite a bit. The slices and bread sticks are the best deal around. I come from Chicago, so I like good pizza. This has been the best for me!“

“Excellent Jets location with friendly and fast service. We go here at least once a month and it's always great pizza; perfectly baked and good on the toppings. Tonight we got light sauce on half the pizza and they were kind enough to write on the box which side was which! My favorite local pizza.“

“Voted best pizza ever by my 3 picky boys !🍕🍕“

“I really wanted to love our visit because we’ve had such great experiences at the other Flo's locations, but this time was just okay. On the positive side, the staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming! They greeted us right away and made the pickup process easy.
The pizza itself had great flavor—the sauce is definitely a highlight, and they don’t skimp on the toppings. However, the crust was a bit inconsistent this time; it was a little doughy in the middle and didn't have that signature crisp we usually expect from Flo's. We also noticed the prices have crept up quite a bit recently, making it a little less 'budget-friendly' for a casual family night than it used to be.
It’s still a solid local spot, but hoping for a bit more consistency with the bake next time we stop by!“

“I tried their pizza challenge. It was fun. The gluten-free pizza was good, too.

- Pizza 28” Challenge - $35: Super thin, but soft and fairly good.

The crust was dry, tough, chewy and was fairly plain. The pizza was easy, but the crust was very hard. I saved the crust for last (a tactic I learned from another competitor), but in this case, I think you need to eat the crust along the way so you don’t get tired of chewing it all at the end. Break it up.

I failed by one slice and almost all the crust I saved for the end. It sounds like the challenge is undefeated currently. Someone has to beat it. It is well within the possibility compared to other challenges out there. Though it is 28” and that sounds huge (it is huge), it is actually thin enough that it is still very much possible for those who train for it.

I’d have to guess it is 4 pounds. I weighed it at 3.5 pounds, but we couldn’t get it to balance well enough to take our hands off of it to get an accurate measurement. 28” is huge!!!

- Pizza 9” - $: Fits on a plate. My daughter ate it and reported it was good. The crust was plain.

- Cauliflower Pizza 12” - $: Except for the amount of cheese, it would have been my daughter’s new favorite gluten-free pizza.

- Service: Super helpful and cheerful. She was new, but it didn’t show at all. She was very proficient and amazing!

- Atmosphere: Clean. A bit on the darker side, but not bad. There is a higher ceiling and voices probably carry very easily. We didn’t experience that too much since we stopped by during a slow time.

- Conclusion: I’d certainly recommend this place for many reasons including the cheerful staff.

“I've always loved Fricanos. Up until now, I had only tried the Grand Haven and Holland locations. This location is just as legit as the others! I was also very happy to see that they had green olives you could add to your pizza. That always takes it to another level for us! Good job Comstock Park Fricanos!“
