15 Best Italian Restaurants near Ozark

“Eating dinner is dining at Salvatore's,and is a real treat. if you like mussels it's a fantastic appetizer, could be a dinner with a little extra pasta.I had a fabulous dish of roast duck with a side of carrot soufle that tasted like pumpkin pie! My husband had drunken scallops over pasta., which he thoroughly enjoyed. If you're lucky and time allows Daniel the owner comes over and asks you if you enjoyed your meal. We sure did! Thanks also for the great servers.Kid-friendliness: Welcome families“

“Every time we go to Piccolo we know it's going to be a fantastic time. Me personally, I'm not typically a fan of Italian dishes, however Piccolo does it right with (what I believe) is House made Marinara sauce and just enough of it to add to the dish rather than take it over. Their complimentary bread sticks could be my dinner by themselves, I adore those things. Huge fan of the Carni Ravioli and their Salmon is to die for. (Though the portion for the Salmon could be bigger for the price.)“

“What a great place to discover for a meal with friends! We wanted something different and Retro Metro turned out to be perfect! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding! Selena was our waitress and she did great from knowing the menu and just ensuring we were taken care of! We also had the pleasure of meeting Hana during our visit and she was so friendly and welcoming! Can't wait to go back!“

“We just moved to Nixa and wanted to try out Marcos because they had great reviews, and everyone we asked said it was the best in town. Due to the word of mouth and the reviews, we had high expectations, and they did not disappoint! The pizza was some of the best we've ever had, and I'm from NY!The manager gave us a discount for it being our first time, which was very personable. He also gave us a giant dessert brownie on the house as a welcome to Nixa.The seating area is nicer than any pizza place I've been and was very clean, as were the bathrooms.We will 100% be returning soon!“

“Was fairly happy with the food, it was hot and fresh and prepared quickly. The staff was very friendly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I ordered a cheese calzone with some added ingredients, but I think someone forgot the cheese. The sauce was delicious though.“

“We visited today for the first time and we are wondering why we didn't check it out sooner! The service was great, the food was delicious, and the prices were affordable. Our kids, 4 & 8, loved it as well. We will definitely be back!“

“We have been big Bellacino’s fans for the last few years. Tonight we had my daughters first birthday there and it was FANTASTIC! Blaine checked in multiple times and helped us pack up. Our server was amazing and made sure everyone had full drinks at all times. I will for sure be booking another party with Bellacino’s!! Could not recommend them enough. Food came out at perfect time. It was hot, fresh and of course so yummy!! Thank you so much for making our night so incredibly easy!“

“We love coming to Rocco's in Nixa because they have gluten free crust. We visited today and we were greeted by Sophie(sp?), who was very cheerful and seemed genuinely pleased to wait on us. She took our order, and brought the food out promptly. The pizza was delicious, as expected. We were waiting on Sophie to come back to refill our drink, when we noticed that she was the only server who was taking care of the dining room, and she was waiting in no less than 6 tables by herself. She did a fantastic job making sure that each table was attended to, and never stopped smiling, even threw KNEW that she was very busy. Sophie is a great employee and needs to be well compensated. We ripped her generously, as she certainly deserved it!“

“I absolutely love Fazolis!They have been at the same place is springfield for over 20 years.The food has NEVER been wrong for me, and it has ALWAYS been perfect.Careful, the plate is hot!!!Seriously, if you want good fast food and Italian, go no further than Fazolis.Parking: I'd say around 20 parking spots, but there are lots nearby I've parked in before when they are slammed.Kid-friendliness: They have kids menus and activity paper and crayons to go with them!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp going inside and handicap parking spaces.“

“This was the first date my boyfriend took me on and it continues to be my FAVORITE place ever. Hot, delicious, constantly setting out fresh stuff. Lasagna rolls (our favorite) are always running out which just means you get the fresh stuff when you get to it lol. But all of it is so good.“

“Pasta express has been a favorite of our family for over 20 years. What’s not to love, great food, amazing staff and owners with a great attention to detail and solid consistency with every order. If there is a family owned eatery to support in the 417 this would be our top choice. We love Pasta Express.“

“This is a charming little piece of heaven. It has a small town café feel right in the middle of Springfield. The food is excellent. My wife loves the salad and I love the egg sandwich.Parking: The lights is large, because it connects to the whole strip center“

“This is my daughter's favorite place. The only issue we had was the 35 min wait, and it was frustrating watching people who just walked in getting seated. We only had 5 people, which is not hard to accommodate. However the waiter was fabulous and the food was great.“
