15 Best Italian Restaurants near Gastonia

“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.“

“We absolutely love Portofino’s Gastonia...We usually eat in their restaurant but I was recently in the Hospital and was wanting their Spaghetti so We opted for take out and they did not disappoint bc it was a huge portion of Spaghetti and stuffed Shells as well as a nice healthy salad..The food was so hot and fresh..Thank you“

“There's mold on the baseboards in the rear party seating area and the place is generally not clean at all. Dust all over the place. The food is pretty decent but alot of the dishes with Alfred sauce are way too dry. The soup is always super good though!“

“Great food! The salad dressings are delicious and totally drinkable. Our server on Sunday Brian was fun, friendly and attentive. One of the best servers I’ve had there. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants consistency.“

“WOW! My boyfriend and I recently moved into the area and decided to try out sals a few weeks ago. At that time we got a buffalo chicken pizza & a Hawaiian pizza. Today we decided to try them again and got a margarita pizza, Stromboli, and antipasto salad. Our order was QUICKLY finished and tastes absolutely delicious. Sal is very personable and extremely talented in the kitchen. Our favorite pizzeria by far.“

“This is a good place for lunch or dinner. It's cozy. Dress attire varies depending on occasion. I have to say that the atmosphere is very comfortable. They have great pizza here! Food plates are good. Menu changes and is posted. I enjoyed my dessert. I like the way their counter is set up. Some staff wasn't attentive. The owner kindly helped me twice. He cares about his customers!“
