16 Best Italian Restaurants near Belmont

“High quality food by head chef extraordinaire Strato Carannante. Authentic Italian cuisine; fresh home made pasta; authentic Italian carbonara, made with eggs and guanciale, not with cream. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff.“

“I love this place! The food is delicious and the people are delightful! As someone who is from Buffalo, I am very particular about my pizza and wings. Joe’s consistently knocks it out of the park! Do good. Be good. God bless. Go Bills. Eat Joe’s Touch of Italy!“

“Some of the best chicken Parm I’ve ever had. Service is always great!“

“Atmosphere is amazing. We've been twice and we will be back. The food is decent but don't expect a 5 star taste. The scenery makes up for the long wait and luke warm food once it does make it to your table. It is pricey but we didn't mind because again the Atmosphere is very romantic.“

“Pick up order of the beef clay pot. Though it was good, it definitely is not a good to-go option and it is TOO EXPENSIVE for what you get at $70. Clay pot filling, a small container of rice and 4 wraps (which do not travel well) By the time I got home, the bread was hard and to get the gooey bread topping on the clay pot was very difficult. It did not feed 2 people, we had to make extra rice to make it go farther. I gave it a high score bc the flavors were really good.“

“passing through and stopped in.. best Grandma pie I've had in years. great service.“

“This was the best Olive Garden Ive ever ate at and had excellent service. Im visiting from Wisconsin and my waiter JC did such great service for me. I even gave him a higher tip than normal because he showed great service, attentiveness and cares that customers are satisfied. Also Manager Jon Gavin is one of the best Olive Garden Managers I ever met. He made sure customers were satisfied even if his waitresses and waiters already asked. I was so impressed I asked to see Manager Jon again just to show and thank him for such great service and a memorable restaurant Ill never forget. Cant wait to go back when I visit Charlotte again.“

“delicious food. My favorite local pizza! Pasta, hot subs and salads are also fabulous“

“OMG! Just left this location a few moments ago today, 6/14/26, and I have to say that this was by far some of the BEST service & food I've received from any Olive Garden in a very long time! We had Aiden as our server, and from start to finish he was AMAZING! Aiden was polite & very attentive for such a busy Sunday evening! Every dish was hot & brought out in a timely manner! All the staff had smiling faces & the restaurant atmosphere was joyous! Thank you such a great dinner experience!“
