50 Best Italian Restaurants near Walled Lake

“I recently stopped by Nino’s Italian Bakery and had another really great experience. The donuts were fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet — especially the ones with sprinkles and chocolate frosting. You can tell they’re made with care.

The coffee was hot, smooth, and a perfect match with the donuts. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff always make you feel appreciated.

Over the past few years, we’ve been going there regularly, and they have always been excellent. It’s consistent quality every time.

Overall, a great local spot for donuts and coffee. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Walled Lake. I’ll be back again!“

“I had such a great experience at Aurora, and Alana made it even better. She was so sweet, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at the perfect times, made sure everything came out right, and had such a positive attitude throughout the whole service. You can tell she really cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. I would definitely come back and ask for Alana again!“

“We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Genitti’s and we cannot say enough how much we loved it. The venue is beautiful, staff instantly makes you feel like family, and Laura is an excellent coordinator and planner. She truly made everything feel like a breeze! On top of it all the 7 course meal was delicious! Highly recommend for any event.“

“Best pizza in the area. Everything we’ve had is top notch. Fresh baked bread, great gelato selection, and cannolis. It’s a local gem.“

“what a wonderful experience we had at Cafe Cortina! from the complimentary valet, to the matre'd and all of the staff. The food was excellent, the ambiance perfect, and our guardian angel, Besnik, provided excellent suggestions all throughout the night! He never rushed us, and never hovered, he was just magically there whenever we needed anything. It was a perfect dinning expirence and we are grateful for it!“

“By far the best Italian restaurant on the west side. Great menu and Very authentic“

“We just tried MiYork for the first time last night but it won't be our last. The store smelled amazing as soon as I walked in. I ordered a meatball sub, a spicy chicken sandwich and French fries. Everything was so tasty and still hot when I got home. We cannot wait to try all the other items. Very friendly service and it didn't take long at all for my order.“

“Amazing food, great prices, friendly staff, pretty much everything.“

“Exceptional service and food was delicious. We left Aurora on the Lake due to obnoxiously loud Arabic music and people smoking cigarettes on the balcony. Not the atmosphere you expect from an fine dining Italian restaurant. Aria was a breath of fresh air. We chose to sit outside. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the atmosphere is the occasional loud vehicle passing by on 14 Mile. No fault of theirs really. Too bad Aurora has the better location-they don't deserve it“

“We had and event here. The staff was wonderful and incredibly helpful. We had a buffet - I am not typically a fan of buffets but it was excellent - tender and flavorful beef, delicious grilled vegetables, fresh salad and other delicious items. The atmosphere inside is lovely but the view of the lake is spectacular. Would recommend people to go enjoy meal here. Or hold an event.“

“Outstanding service - very good food and drinks - the time table on seating was a bit discerning - we would have ordered dessert after a great meal but otherwise a very nice evening“

“you go there you're family...“

“Village Pizza catered and delivered food for my son's birthday and they did a fantastic job. The food was delicious, arrived on time, and the order was perfect. I also have to be gluten free, and I loved that there were GF options for me!“

“Great thin pizza - cooked quickly in a wood fire oven - salad was very fresh“

“The food is so good!! Had dinner there tonight. The salmon is cooked perfect and great combination of the sweet tomatoes and red skin potatoes. Portions are more that generous. The service is prompt and friendly.“

“Great coffee and baked goods!“

“I usually go to Roman Village in Dearborn, but I was in the area with my family and decided to try Antonio’s — and I’m glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the host, Malak, who was extremely professional, sweet, and welcoming. Even though there was about a 10-minute wait, she explained everything to us and made us feel very comfortable while we waited.
The food was very, very good, and the service was excellent. Our server, Raul, was amazing — very friendly, attentive, and nice throughout the entire experience.
Overall, we had a great dine-in experience and would definitely recommend Antonio’s to anyone looking for great food and outstanding customer service!“

“It’s a great place, with great food and service. My family and I love to come here, but the reservation system doesn’t work well. Even with a reservation you might need to wait 20-30’ in lie. Either they don’t have a good system or don’t respect it. That is definitely an area to improve.“

“If you're craving Italian food with exceptional service, look no further the dishes are packed with flavor, and every bite feels like a taste of Italy. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and a warm atmosphere! Thanks, Julian, for always delivering an amazing experience“

“We give Lelli’s on The Green 5 STARS for tremendous food and even better service! Everything for our party was perfect and we are grateful to Mark Zarkin and Arie for making sure we were so well taken care of to celebrate a very special birthday with just a few close friends and family. We highly recommend it for some of the finest dining around! Thank you Mark and Arie for being such gracious hosts and making it extra special. We’ll be back to pick up some trays to share with our family to celebrate Christmas as well! Happy Holidays and THANKS AGAIN!!“

“Love the Ravioli and wing dings. I wish they would open at 1pm instead of 4pm. I do not like to eat after 6pm. And the type of food they serve I would like to get around noon. Usually I get hungry and end up going elsewhere like Valentino's.“

“I ordered o line & there was a glitch where my card was charged, but the order didn’t go thru on Buddy’s end. I thought I was gonna be screwed & have to take it up with my card company or wait & see if the charge fell off, but Buddy’s did right by me and made the pizza for me I had ordered online“

“What a wonderful man running the place! And delicious pizza too! 😍 thank you for the wonderful experience!“

“Worked late tonight and didn’t want a pizza. Bought a Jetzie. Wonderful. I’ve got a new favorite.“

“Duncan was awesome in helping me figure out what I needed for out church lunch. When I came in to pick up my order 2 days later, the crew had everything ready. The food was hot and my group loved the pizza! Definitely will use them again for church functions.“

“First time ordering pizza from there. Actually it was very good. We like to frequent Mom and Pop establishments only. Not the commercial pizza places (Jets, Happy's,Pizza Hut, Domino's, Hungry Howie's). We will definitely go again“

“This is by far the best steak and cheese calzones, pizza and bread sticks I've had in a long while. It's in the back of a party store and there is no seating. Carryout. We come from Lansing every chance we get!! The people there are fantastic and thank us over and over for coming back!“

“In addition to the awesome pizza & subs-there’s a huge selection of salads! The wings at Benito’s are amazing, with several flavors to choose from. Also, the mostaccioli (w/meat sauce & parm/mozzarella cheese) is Incredible. You can even order cannoli here. Love the staff at Benito’s! 😊“

“Great pizza! Used the phone BOT and was VERY impressed!“

“First time visiting Cottage Inn Pizza and I’m glad my friend recommended it! We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza and the artichoke chicken pizza — both were really good, solid flavors and well made. The chicken wings were a nice addition too. Nothing over the top, but consistently good across the board.

To top it off, since I was one of the last customers of the night, they surprised me with a complimentary brookie dessert — and it was absolutely delicious! That little gesture really made the visit memorable.

New to the area and already making a great impression. Will definitely be back!“

“Friendly atmosphere and attentive staff“

“There are a lot of Jets Pizza locations and over the years I’ve tried a few. It was a mistaken on line order that brought me to the Grand River location in Novi. This was the “best” mistake I ever made. The food is always cooked perfectly, orders always correct but the most impressive part of this store is the owner and his staff. There hasn’t been a time that the staff didn’t have a smile and truly treat each and every customer with the utmost respect and no matter how busy they are their smile and friendliness never fades. If you’re near that area or even if it’s not trust me it’s well worth the drive!“

“We have ordered there for years. Today 4/2/2020 was the best service we have ever gotten from order to delivery. Made EXACTLY how we wanted and PIPING HOT! Thank you to whoever made our pizza and wings and to the fastest delivery person! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU A+++! I am no longer hangry. 😃“

“No andes mints anymore? I didn't ask but it's been a long time and I thought you got little chocolate mints with your check. But we had to use an electronic kiosk to pay so maybe that's why. Anyways server called a dish by the wrong name so we sent it back but then it turns out it was the right dish all along, I asked for a new napkin cause I spilled sauce on my sweater and I never got a napkin... But otherwise I love olive garden food and our waiter was very nice! I would still eat here and recommend it 👍🏼“

“Just a super high quality pizza. One of our fave pizza spots in Michigan!! If you thin crispy pizza this place is your go to. The Mediterranean delighte is one of our fave flavors. It’s a white sauce pizza which I don’t usually like but it just works on this pizza. We always default to pizza cutter when we are doing a pizza night with friends or for special occasions where we want pizza!“

“Waited one hour to be seated. Was told it wood be 15-20 mins .there were kids running around the restaurant. With no supervision from management or parents. Didn’t wait . It will be a long time before I go back . So I went to Tomato Appizza right around the corner and had a great dinner. Bye bye buddy’s“

“I've ordered from this particular location for several years and never been disappointed, The pizza is excellent. The staff has always been very nice. I had a conversation with the owner who was very helpful, answered all my questions, and I really appreciated him very much. I recommend highly Jets Pizza in Wixom....“

“If you’re looking for authentic “Detroit Style” pizza, this is it. Square deep dish with a thick chewy crust and carmelized cheese that is crispy around the edges, and don’t even think about forgetting the sauce! So much flavor in the sauce! I love the classic pepperoni, but all the toppings are superb. You can’t beat the crunch of the crust with the melty creaminess of the cheese. This is an awesome pizza!“

“Great pizza, consistently fresh and made the right way. Toppings are generous, and everything comes out hot and on time. The staff cares about quality, and it shows in both the food and the service. Convenient place to count on when you want good pizza.“

“It was exactly what I wanted but unfortunately it was an online order and once I got to the place and I saw all these other things they had I was going wow so the guy was played enough to hand me a menu right there which I opened my eyes a little bit brighter and on the overall though this place was really great and the pizza was perfect I mean exactly what I wanted the way I wanted it“

“This location is by far the most consistent. Quality is amazing every time!! Order direct! Their delivery drivers know the area more than DoorDash. Ordering from them is like ordering a cab back in the 90s they get to you without any problems! We live in an apartment complex that can be difficult to navigate but they know the area! We have lived here for five years and have ordered from them multiple times on busy nights when home cooked meals is not an option. They always arrive early and bring the best Detroit style pizza with literally the best ranch in the state. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Super Special deep dish pizza was amazing! Flavored crust is so good…..
Antipasto Salad was so good too with their Ranch dressing! Tasted very fresh!
Delivery employee was very pleasant and efficient!
Delivered fast and the pizza was very warm!:-)
Will definitely order from this location again!
Keep up the good work to all.“

“Both Alex and Kennedy are the bomb! Great customer service which have made me a regular!“

“Good taste as expected and I like the service. We love traditional vegetarian pizza and deep dish too“

“I placed an online order for delivery. My order arrived about 15 mins ahead of the quoted time, cooked just right, and nicely heat hot. I rarely do reviews, but great job Jets 7Mile. Delivery guy was awesome too friendly and polite!!“
