4 Best Italian Restaurants near Forest City

“We enjoyed a delicious and affordable Sunday Brunch this past weekend. There were lots of homemade options paired with great service and a welcoming staff. After years away, we'll be back soon.“

“Where do I start? The service, the atmosphere and the food are *chefs kiss*. First, you get fresh baked bread which is hot and garlicky and perfect. We got the mozzarella fritte and I just can’t believe how FRESH everything tastes here! Is this what real food is like? I’m so used to microwaved stuff from Olive Garden and Applebees that this… it’s unspeakably good. The value is amazing. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. I got the tortellini soup and margherita chicken pesto pasta. Look, I don’t even like sausage and that sausage in that soup was SO GOOD. Everything was so fresh, hot and tasty. Do yourself a favor and get the Caesar salad. It’s honestly the best Caesar dressing I’ve ever had in my life. You can taste all the different flavors in it. I can’t say enough good things about Babbo. We’ll definitely be back. I’ve worked in restaurants for a long time and you can tell the staff work well together as a team, which means it’s great leadership as well. 10/10 would recommend. Come here, you won’t regret it!“

“Usually I have a good experience eating at Gregory’s. It’s one of the few places around that still has a salad bar. That is what I ordered today…a one trip salad bar. However, the inappropriately dressed millennial waitress wearing nude spandex short, shorts, never brought me a plate. When I went to the counter to ask for a salad plate, she made eye contact with me and then turned around, continuing to ignore me while talking to another waitress. Nope…not going to be ignored! How difficult is it to bring a plate to my table so I can serve myself from your salad bar??? There are other restaurants in town! And what a shame for the inappropriately dressed millennial waitress wearing nude spandex short, shorts who was too lazy to bring me a plate…I left a nice tip to the appropriately dressed young woman (who was also wearing shorts) at the other restaurant!“
