13 Best Italian Restaurants near Olive Branch

“We are always looking for a mom and pop family pizza place. Dana's did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed with a friendly smile. We ordered a medium Hawaiian pizza and bread sticks, grabbed 2 coke and sat and waited with excitement to dig in. The team was taking call after call and helping so many hungry costumers walking through the door and our order came quickly and was delicious. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.“

“Our waitress Maddie was spectacular! Definitely made our anniversary night. We got the ricotta cheesecake that was beautiful and even said Happy Anniversary on it. Can’t wait to be back, thanks!“

“Went last night to celebrate birthday with a friend. Was surprised with live music, lovely and cozy place, we had excellent service. Food was fantastic, reminded me of being in Italy. Did not go wrong getting Ms. Mary's salad and Elfo's special. will return.“

“Very impressed with our decision to get the seafood pasta and the Fess Parker Riesling. Sat at the bar and bartender was attentive to us. I will admit I was quite taken aback by the $12.50 surcharge to have our entree and salad split between my mom and I. Did the research to confirm whether this was standard surcharge pricing to split food items and it was above the average price for this.“

“If you go to Olive Garden ask for Reese, he was the best! Very attentive, made sure everything was taken care of at all times, and the food was great! The manager came to check on us, didn’t catch his name but he was very sweet and attentive to us and all tables. We had two birthdays with us and many of the servers sang happy birthday to us. Overall very good experience and will be back.“

“We have been going here for years and the food and service was starting to decline over the last year. We went again last week and everything had improved tremendously. Apparently new members of the original family took it over and everything was really good again. The food was excellent as was the service. The atmosphere was much brighter as well. We are going again tonight.“

“Every detail about this place was outstanding. Our waiter, Blaze, gave us excellent suggestions: we tried the Pinnelli pasta, lasagna, garlic knots, veggie pizza, Caesar salad, and tiramisu. Delicious food, excellent service, great atmosphere. I only wish we lived closer so we could eat here regularly. We will return the next time we are in the area.“

“My server was Diago, and he was very polite to my dad and I (saying mamm/sir). The food was amazing, and it did not take long at all, but it was not very but also not slow but over all 5 stars and definitely recamend.“

“My husband and I love Bella’s! Their food is so good and so FRESH. This last visit I got lemon pepper wings, a small chef salad, and a slice. I crave their salads because they’re always so crisp and you can tell all the ingredients are fresh. My husband got the spaghetti and meatballs. The portion is huge and their sauce (made in house) is light but flavorful. It was all delicious and always consistent! If you haven’t tried Bella’s I would highly recommend!“

“I ordered togo....it was our first time eating at this place....I was however disappointed that the calzone didn't come with marina....it made for a very dry dish. the spaghetti noodles need work but the chicken parm was good. side salad was good.“
