29 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’ve been to a lot of different Piadas but this one was the only one that used a pan to mix the pasta. This made the meal SO much better. Not to mention the service. Allen was wonderful and recommended a spicy ranch that I hadn’t tried before. Everyone seems to be super happy here (which I cannot say about other locations haha). Very pleased!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“best food ever“

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

“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! 🩵“

“We made an online reservation for a table for two on Valentine’s Day, and when we arrived, we only had to wait about five extra minutes. Considering how busy the night was—with just about everyone and their Valentine out—that was impressive. We were seated quickly and able to place our order right away.

Our salad and drinks came out within about five minutes, which was a great start. The main dishes took around 25 minutes, which was understandable given how backed up the kitchen was. My wife ordered spaghetti, and I had spaghetti with meatballs. The food tasted good overall, but it arrived warm rather than hot, likely due to the volume of orders that night. Portions also felt a little light—either that or we were just extra hungry, lol.

Even with the crowd and minor hiccups, we truly enjoyed our evening. Celebrating 22 years of Valentine’s Days together made the night special, and Olive Garden still provided a pleasant, memorable experience.“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

“So let me say when I went into Olive Garden I walked in with an attitude determined my food wouldn’t be correct. But I came and walked into Andrew one of the managers he was like a shining light my whole mood changed he was so welcoming and concerned even before I came to the register. His demeanor immediately changed my mood his kindness and concerned was refreshing, then Jennifer another manger stepped up and I was like this can’t be real because they were so genuine and receptive. Andrew fixed my food personally and Jennifer discussed my concerns prior to my entrance, they were beyond reproach welcoming and caring. While I waited Shanti even though I had a to go order was very engaging to ensure that my needs were met while waiting, then Brandy I believe she’s a regional manager her kindness exuberated and she promoted her staff. I promise if you follow me on google you will know if something isn’t right I will say something. Kudos to this Olive Garden because you hired really fine individuals to work this establishment and to Andrew blessing to you in everything you do!!!!“

“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.“

“We enjoyed lunch at George’s today. Four adults and two kiddos. Prices were very reasonable for what we ordered. We ordered a variety of food and everyone enjoyed their meal. One waitress was running it all, and she was still courteous and attentive.“

“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.“

“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“
