9 Best Italian Restaurants in Oxford

“Oxford has the vibe of authenticity. Saint Leo exemplifies this. With delightful Italian food, a thoughtful cocktail, wine and beer menu, and lovely atmosphere, coming here early in any visit will immerse you in Oxford’s best.

We happened in on a summer evening without a reservation to have a drink and light dinner at the bar. We were lucky 🍀— Note: Make a reservation online ahead of time. They do not take reservations on the “day of.” We put in our name and ordered drinks outside on the patio. It is set up for drinks. Water is provided. As we watched people the time sped by.

We were led to the bar where several friendly bar servers took thorough care of us. I had Spoken West Chardonnay. Spouse had a Rose. We ordered White Beans appetizer. They came in a pottery bowl and were so delicious we continued eating them with house salads and through the order of a Margherita Pizza.

We did not order dessert or after dinner drinks but we were sorely tempted. Anytime we return to Oxford, we will head here to get relaxed in the comforts and spoils of Oxford. Thank you Saint Leo.“

“Love this place. Go at least once a week“

“The Quarters Oxford is a decent student apartment with a good location near Ole Miss and solid amenities like a pool, gym, and private bathrooms. Most people like the convenience and social vibe, but complaints focus on high rent, thin walls, and inconsistent management/maintenance.“

“The Luv Shack is the best kept secret restaurant in a town full of award-winning, trend-setting restaurants. Located behind a strip mall in a tiny shack, the food is always exceptional no matter what it is, and it's different from day-to-day. Highlights are Italian beef, chicken parm, and pepperoni topped tortellini on Tuesdays, but everything is hand made from scratch & always fantastic. Be prepared to stand in line Sunday morning for the best bagels south of Jersey. Could not recommend more highly.“

“Great place to eat in Oxford.“

“What a surprise to find a quality pizza in Oxford! Pizzashop has a great pie with a crisp yet tender crust, high quality toppings, and great people.
We ordered a side Caesar salad and a 12” Bill the Butcher to share and it was ample food for my hungry athlete daughter and myself.“

“The filet is the best in town! Laid back and quiet atmosphere topped it off. Definitely a new found local favorite!“

“Love it, order TWO goat wheels with the greek salad. 👍🏻 And peppers/mushrooms on the Philly cheesesteak. I forget the pizza my husband loves, it’s the manly looking one, it’s always good. (To much bread on the po-boy though)

Always loud, so pick your people for this one.“

“I’m sure the food is good. We got Stromboli and wish we had gotten a pizza.“
