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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Hands down best Sea Bass ever! With shrimp mussels and clams! Got an early taste of the menu for tonight! Hands down John and his staff are 100%!“

“I came here with my son and sister fot the first time. I had never heard of this restaurant but as an avid lover or pasta and Italian food I was eager to give it try.
Im really glad I did, because the food was delicious. I love how everything was made fresh in front you and the options were plenty. I love when I find a dish I can mix and match with and thats a huge appeal of the pasta. Pick your sauce, noodle and protein.... we love variety.
In addition to all that the head chef, Alec, came and spoke with us to see how everything was and it was a nice personal touch for a restaurant where I wouldnt typically expect that type of attention. I look forward to going back to try more things off the menu, but it truly was a 10 out of 10 for me and I will be back!“

“This place is awesome, they are always super nice and friendly. I’m from out of town but every time we come here it’s a great experience. A gentleman named Pablo is always working hard and super friendly. You have a great employee. Thank you for the amazing experience!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I love the pizza even after the next day. that cheese pull is everything and the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo is amazing!“

“First time here yesterday and wow Sherly absolutely made the whole experience. From the moment we sat down, she had incredible recommendations and knew exactly what to suggest. Every dish was amazing, and the service? Top tier. She was attentive, friendly, and just brought such a great vibe to our night. Honestly, 10/10 across the board. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, but Sherly is what will bring us back. We’ll definitely be coming again, and we’re 100% asking for her every time! 🩵“

“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.“

“So good and really fast too! I got the Cheese Ravioli and my dad got the Zupa Tuscan(n)a. I was tempted to eat it all at once, it was so good- but the portion was too big, so I had it for lunch the next day (still good even microwaved). I am proudly coming back!!!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Rudinos Knightdale was nice for a first time visit during dinner one evening. Lunch time isn’t bad just a few things regarding food quality could be better.

Pros:
+ Decent atmosphere
+ Several menu options including Gluten Free
+ Friendly service

Cons:
- Salad was not fresh. ( had brown edges )
- Not many side options
- Chicken quality could be better. ( fatty with gristle)
- Hostess was not friendly or welcoming“
