31 Best Italian Restaurants near Rolesville

“This was our first time checking this place out! Loved that there were options for everyone and the seafood boil was delicious! Our waitress was very attentive and kept checking in on us and had refills out to us before our glasses were empty. I believe it was manager or another waiter helping out since they had a large group and he also checked in on us as well. Good service on a Tuesday night usually is hard to come by but the crew that was there tonight did a phenomenal job!“

“This was our 3rd time here for dinner. The first time , 2 years go was exceptional.the food, atmosphere, and service were amazing. Last year we went and there were flies swarming our table. We ordered the osso bucco which is typically veal shank. This came as 2 tiny little pork ankles not veal, and was disappointing in taste. This year, we decided to go at Christmas to see the decorations. We ordered the burrata, and they brought us the shrimp appetizer. We sent it back and the server came back with it & said that we ordered it. Which we did not, instead of a confrontation, we kept it. It was delicious, but not what we ordered. The primo dish , we ordered the ravioli to share, it was very good. For or entree, we ordered the veal chop. It was chewy as if undercooked, soggy, as if it layed in its breadcrumb coating too long. For a $47.00 vealchop, it was a complete disappointment in taste and texture .as we went there specifically for the veal chop. After 3xs, the meals got worse instead of better. Our waiter was excellent, it’s too bad., but the food has gone downhill. We are Italian and are always looking for a great Italian meal. This was not!“

“We had a wedding rehearsal dinner there this past weekend. Delicious food, good sized portions, excellent service! Thank you so much for making it a wonderful occasion.“

“Today we had an excellent lunch of eggplant parm with a Ceasar salad. My husband had the same but with a side of pasta. Eggplant was nice and thinly sliced and the sauce was amazing. We tried the non alcoholic italian cream sodas which was a plesant surprise. We finished off with an affogato and pistachio gelato. Food was great and service was fantastic. This is truly a gem in Raleigh. Highly recommend.“

“My partner and I decided to try Piada on Valentines Day while craving some pasta. When I tell you it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

From the greeting, to the helpful tips from Precious and Tiffany, and the quality and consistency of the food. We even tried a Spinach Artichoke Piada Pocket with marinara sauce. 10/10 and will definitely be trying again.

This will now be our a favorite spot for quick but tasty meals. They have great recipes but can also create your own. Try it for yourself :)“

“First time at Piada and I’m already in love! The service was fast and friendly, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was great. I ordered the Caesar wrap with hot chicken and it was incredible. I’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!“

“As always, it was excellent. We found this place during covid, now we drive 90 miles for Dr. appts. at Durham and make sure we get to eat here before we leave. Excellent! Excellant! Excellant!“

“best food ever“

“I went in tonight to place my order face to face because the last few phone orders were not as expected. I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak fresh toasted bun with ONLY cheese, onions and light green peppers and we ran through it twice only for me to get home and I look and plenty of mayonnaise up and down the the top.. (HATE IT) the bread I could barely bite making it chewy (OLD) . I give up , the convenience of the location, and cost for me isn’t worth me NOT being satisfied in the end. They were perfect for me at one time but all good things come to an end.“

“Went here last night and the service was great and the food was as well. Shannon is a great fit“

“Great place to eat, very friendly staff.“

“We just discovered a hidden gem here. It's got a very casual feel but the food is no joke. I had lobster ravioli and it was fantastic and the breadsticks that they serve with every meal are hot and tasty. They obviously have great pizza pies, although I haven't had one yet but they have a real variety of all kinds of Italian foods. My wife had a Stromboli and she loved it. She liked the fact that it wasn't real heavy on bread and it was nice and crispy with a great marinara sauce for dipping. Of course, the most important thing is the service and Marta did not disappoint. She knows the foods and is one of the nicest waitresses ever. She will take good care of you, I promise.
Thank you so much Marta!“

“Enjoyable experience. We were welcomed immediately, a small wait (less than 10 minutes, busy but not crowded) seated and drink orders were taken.
Everything was delicious from beginning to end, salads, piping hot bread sticks, each entrée was exactly as described.
Our server, William T, was very courteous and prompt.
We look forward to returning on a future shopping date.“

“Awesome NY/NJ style pizza 🍕 and other great Italian dishes!“

“The food is always fresh. And the meal is always hot. My only suggestion is that, even if we have to pay extra, if we ask for more of your delicious sauce, please deliver it.“

“Phenomenal food at a family owned business. So glad my wife & I found this hidden gem today. We were very pleased with our tasty food, large portions, & great atmosphere. We will be back.“

“Had another wonderful experience at Paco Pizza. The Food is always on Point. The staff is always friendly and courteous and helpful with a recommendation should you need one. I highly recommend Paco’s 🍕“

“The few times I've been here the food and service were excellent and Ive left with a ton of leftovers after eating and endless bowl of pasta. A couple next to me had something wrong with their order, and the manager went out of their way to hook them up.“

“Great experience Food was GREAT. Leona and Hampton are the best.“

“We have been going to Dominic's for years! The pizza is delicious. Everything else is just as good. The staff rocks and the location is beautiful around the pond. Live music on weekends and always a smile and great service inside of Dominics. Give it a try! You'll LOVE it!“

“I'm from N.Y so I know Brooklyn style pizza. I've been coming here for over 5 years consistently every week, and it's New York style pizza 100% plus all the other Italian dishes are excellent just as good as homemade if not better. Frankie the owner and his big staff are always friendly, professional and extremely cleaniness minded. Quality is always consistent. 100% recommended.“

“I just wanted to give a shout out to the young woman who was working the front today. I keep seeing your business on social media and prefer to support local so I drove to WF to check it out. It was very quaint with great outdoor seating and the food was good. However, the service was OUTSTANDING. This young woman was working the register, answering the phone and waiting tables. All with the most pleasant personality I have seen in a long time! She was so pleasant that I asked her if she was the owner because you certainly don’t see many, if any, employees have such an outstanding attitude! If all of your employees are like her ( and you keep her) , word of mouth and great reviews will help you become hugely successful hopefully! Thank you to the young woman who went out of her way to be so kind. You should be a business owner or in sales ( which I told her 😀)“

“The employees were awesome and so friendly!“

“Very friendly staff. Good entrees, but there pizza and Stromboli are the best anywhere around.“

“Great pizza and amazing service.“

“Normally, yes, but tonight was horrible!. It took over an hour to get our food; the pizza was terrible — was supposed to be half plain cheese and The other had lots of veggies on it. Over a 3rd of it had the veggies- way more than half, so my kids were very disappointed as they only like cheese. Pizza was very sloppy also. My salad was also incorrect - it came with things on it I specified that should not be on there. They clearly were rushing. I will not order again on a Saturday evening! Very disappointed.“

“Large Beef Pizza!! Soooo Goooood!! Great Customer Service!!“

“Always impressed when I get pizza from Johnny’s Pizza in Wake Forest. They never disappoint! Large pizzas, high quality, at very good prices! Staff does a great job, fast, polite and efficient. You get your money’s worth. Love the NY style pizza, and I was born in NY! Keep up the quality work Johnny! I will be back.“

“our first time and will return“

“My husband and I went to Rudino’s in Knightdale for a late dinner, and the waitress/hostess wearing the Bills ball cap was absolutely AMAZING! Her personality, customer service skills, and overall attitude were nothing short of perfect. She was welcoming, attentive, and truly made our night a special one.

She definitely deserves a RAISE, Rudino’s! Employees like her are what keep customers coming back.“
