13 Best Italian Restaurants in Traverse City

“I treated my friends to dinner tonight and the service was just as fabulous as the food. Our server was Kateri (Kat) she took great care of us and also recommended some of the food items on the menu. Everything was delish. We are definitely going back. Thanks Kat for your great hospitality 😁“

“A great dining experience!“

“Absolutely love this restaurant! It is our favorite in Traverse City - truly the best Italian you can find anywhere! It is one of our go to spots (we go all the time). We went there tonight to celebrate my mom’s birthday and Armani made it truly such a special and memorable evening that we will always remember and cherish as a family. Miyoshi is also simply amazing!! If you want the best Italian and best service you truly cannot find anywhere better than The Flying Noodle. Everything we have ever ordered here is spectacular and they are doing everything right. We love their classic marinara, cheese bread, and meatballs just to name a few things (their sauce is legendary)! So much love for this little restaurant and their entire team that goes above and beyond each and every visit to create the best experiences! 🥰“

“Had a wonderful experience i had for my birthday, the service was extremely patient and kind in various multiple ways, such as the time it took for my entire party to arrive, to the lack of absolute hesitation and willingness to switch a meal out my 75yr old mother ordered thinking it was an entirely different meal. Sage was incredibly naturally kind and understanding as a server in this capacity for excellent customer service one does not come across often. Thank you for a great simple birthday family dinner but also for warm kind understanding serving my mother with compassion for her misunderstanding and the warm willingness to correct it for her. Thank you again. A birthday dinner ill remember fondly.“

“Best pizza in Traverse City!!!“

“Was shopping recently in Traverse City.
Saw the beautiful window displays and was drawn into the Shop.
SO VERY NEAT AND TIDY.
Displays could be in a magazine...just beautiful!
2 lovely Ladies greeted me and provided me with DELICIOUS samples.
I left with 3 items.
I will be back.
Beautiful shop, delicious products.

UPDATE:
I purchased/just tried your hot chocolate. BEST I'VE EVER HAD! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!“

“Nico’s is our go-to, favorite pizzeria in town! Not only is the food delicious, but I especially appreciate their house specials, customer service, and the fact they’re a locally owned family business — very friendly staff! The garlic bread nuggets are a delicious staple in our house. 🤤 🍕 Thanks Nico and team for amazing service and keep up the good work! 😊 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Best pizza ever!! I ordered jets pizza forever and they don’t even compare to this pizza!!“

“There's nothing enchanting about going to this Jet's Pizza on Chum's Corners. It feels like Alcatraz in there! Good thing is, you're in and out quickly. And your reward: some amazing pizza that just hits different. The staff used to let regulars customize a freshly ordered lunch special, but the new management put the kaibosh on that. Convenient location and quality product keep this place relevant.“

“We were in town for just a few days and wanted pizza. We had stopped at another place earlier that was just horrid. Jet's is usually good at home, so we decided to give it a try.
Fantastic decision!! Everything about this pizza was spot on, the person who greeted me was super friendly and the place was very clean. I'm glad I don't live closer or we would be in there weekly. lol“
