8 Best Italian Restaurants near Maggie Valley

“Best Italian in this part of NC! The shrip scampi is to die for! Update 2022- The staff was not competent and and food took forever dropped 2 stars off my 5 star review Update 2025 - Gave them another chance after 3 years. My chicken marsala was delicious. The price has gone up exponentially but the service is much better even though it took them 15 minutes to seat us. The Chicken Ramona Had a very rancid sort of back taste. I think that's from the prosciutto, but I think it would have changed the flavor exponentially if they would have used pancetta instead.“

“Our first time trying Pavino's! Definitely going back! The cheesesteaks are awesome!!“

“If you are ever in the Maggie Valley area, do yourself a favor and stop in!! My now husband and myself eloped with our close family members to Maggie Valley and solely had reviews to go on for catered food in the area for our dinner after the ceremony. VERY generous portions, very informative on how to heat the food, and even provided extra half and half just in case we needed it! Our families could not stop raving about the food. So much so that multiple family members went to eat there again before they left town! Overall: 10/10 food and flavor and 10/10 customer service!“

“Best Italian dressing hands down!! Also my favorite Italian restaurant ever! The wild mushroom ravioli was amazing!!“

“This is one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. We have never been disappointed. These are real chefs. Everything is made fresh all of their sauces are fabulous . The staff is excellent. My favorite dish is the deconstructed lasagna and we always get the goat cheese risotto balls for an appetizer. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. We highly recommended going you won't be disappointed.“

“Everything is always delicious here! Hubby and I both had the Philly special today and it was by far the best Philly we have had anywhere around!! Highly recommend!“

“I had a misdiagnosis that nc marketed and profited from. Many locals stories but anyway. I was broke down and had no food. I ordered uber. Man!! I’m glad I did.
Fresh daily made bred and juicy thin sliced steak. Thank you. Especially for not putting cheese on my sandwich like I requested and making everything to perfection. I appreciate all you do and look forward to the next go around.
Nice presentation as well.“
