16 Best Italian Restaurants near Belton

“Incredible authentic Italian food! Best in the entire state“

“Let me just start with this:
Fazoli’s isn’t fast food. It’s fast comfort.
It’s the kind of place where you can walk in tired, stressed, and craving something real and leave with a belly full of spaghetti and a heart full of “everything’s gonna be okay.” My wife and I love this place. Not in a “we go there sometimes” way. No, we are committed. Fazoli’s is the date-night destination when we’re too exhausted for fine dining but too hungry for frozen disappointment. It's good, it's hot, it’s convenient and I’ll say this loud enough for the folks in the Olive Garden parking lot to hear: The pasta and breadsticks here are better. Yes, better.  You can keep your fake Italian villa music and never ending salad bowls. Fazoli’s gives you the good stuff, no pretense just warm plates of joy and those glorious, buttery breadsticks that practically give you a hug before you eat them.  We had the spaghetti today. A classic. Simple, reliable, saucy like your favorite aunt who tells it like it is. And let me tell you it hit like a memory from childhood, like Sunday dinner at Grandma’s… if Grandma wore a drive-thru headset and served food in under 5 minutes. But the real gem of the day? Melissa the Gm. Now, not everyone’s built for hospitality. Some folks just go through the motions. But Melissa? She’s built like a front line pasta angel. Friendly, genuine, joyful like she was born to greet people and brighten their day. Fazoli’s made a perfect call putting her in charge. She doesn’t just run a restaurant; she sets the tone.  And here’s the thing I’ve learned:
It’s not just about the food.  It’s the little things the way someone smiles at you, the way a hot meal shows up exactly when you needed it, the way breadsticks can somehow taste like a second chance. In a world that’s too busy, too rushed, too artificial Fazoli’s is a little reminder that simple joys still matter.  So thank you, Fazoli’s.  Thank you for the spaghetti. Thank you for the breadsticks.  And thank you for reminding me that sometimes, the best moments in life don’t need candles or reservations.  Sometimes, they just need garlic, pasta, and someone like Melissa saying, “Welcome in.”  We’ll be back. Probably too often. But I’m okay with that.
Forever sauced,
Captain fain-tastic“

“Where to begin….. from the moment my wife and I walked in, we were met with an angel by the name of Kristen, by far the best darn server I’ve ever had in my life. She went out of her way at every step 👟 to ensure we had the most excellent experience at the Olive Garden. She was charming and delightful, and her grace was unmatched. We were waited on hand and foot, feeling like royalty 🤴 in our Olive Garden booth. We split the lovely boocatini pasta with the ten cheese marinara, and oh! What a sensation. The breadsticks and salad never fail to bring a smile to face, but even better was Kristen’s impeccable service. When we arrive back at this Olive Garden, which we no doubt will, we will be requesting service from the wonderful, outstanding Kristen. I wish I could perhaps in another life give the service a million stars ⭐️. I provided the following photos below. The meal was so delicious I was so excited I didn’t take a photograph until after I devoured the whole darn thing. Whoops 😅 silly me 👍“

“Originally from NYC, I know pizza, as does my wife. This is THE BEST pizza in all of Kansas City.“

“One of the true PBJ legends that never disappoints. We are not only fond of out menu choices but we are spoiled by incredible service the moment we enter the front doors. Ask for Larry & start off with the Gnocci. That’s the only advice I would give you. I love this place“

“We order from there all the time, and drive thru to pick up. Always good!!!“

“First time here, food was good, did not receive the pizza we ordered....order for 6 different Pizza, salad combos...3of the orders were incorrect, One didnt get pizza with his salad, group was almost done by the time they brought out corrected pizza.“

“Everything tasted fantastic ?. Our server Trinty is what all servers should strive to be. Efficent ,friendly and engaging one of my favorite servers I've had in a long while! She's in the pizza photo! I hope I spelled her name right.“

“One of my top two favorite pizza places in Kansas City.
The build your own calzone is my favorite item to order at Minsky’s.
The prices are reasonable.
The restaurant is in a nice area with plenty of dining area room.“
