16 Best Italian Restaurants near Mount Holly

“great food, great service. I was very impressed with the Italian food. Everything was so fresh and delicioous!!“

“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.“

“My friends and I visited last week and instantly fell in love with the Romeo and Katrina as well as their food. They were so hospitable and accommodating. Everything is made fresh and with love, even the juice was superb. We will be visiting again. The food was delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

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!“
