6 Best Italian Restaurants in Shelby

“Toscanos Bistro in Shelby is one of those rare spots that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto something special. Their menu blends classic Greek and Italian dishes, and everything I've tried has been full of flavor and freshness.

The real standout for me, though, is their Chicken Ala Francesca. It is hands down my favorite dish. It's a creamy chicken and mushroom pasta that's rich without being heavy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection every time. The sauce is so flavorful that you'll want to savor every bite (and maybe even grab some bread to soak up what's left on the plate).

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, whether you're dining in for a cozy night out or picking up takeout. The staff are friendly and attentive, and you can tell they care about the food and the experience.

If you love Greek flavors, creamy pastas, and locally owned restaurants that go the extra mile, Toscanos Bistro is absolutely worth a visit. Also - they do an amazing job catering!“

“We love the food at Verona. We have tried the lasagna spaghetti and the all seasoned grilled chicken dinners. Great ! Friendly staff and owner is very nice“

“The Best Eggplant Parmesan that I have ever eaten, and the portions are huge ! You will not leave there hungry !!!!Better than any Italian Restaurant in Charlotte , unless this man owns the Restaurant! ❣️ I want to try everything on the menu, but I can’t let go of that Eggplant Parmesan , and the side of Spaghetti that comes with it ,you’ll just have to try it for yourself ! Love to ALL !“

“Enjoyed a Sunday lunch of baked spaghetti with meat sauce. Very attentive to customer, clean, I recommend and will be back.“

“Our family went here for mothers day ,and the hostess TONY was the rudest person in customer service, to ALL of our family, even our 83 year old mother! She should NOT be working in restaurant service!
Our server Courtney, apologized for Tony, NO server or other employee should ever apologize for another employees attitude.
Courtney was great! She took great care of us! Very pleased that she went above and beyond for us.
As far as Tony, she's been rude for way to long ( as ive been here before!) She needs to have a different career!“

“I will be perfectly honest. The family wanted pizza buffet, and suggested Pizza Inn. This place holds special memories for me, as it was my first job, and also the place where I'd met my children's father many moons ago. Upon seeing the low review scores, I almost turned around.
They talked me into trying it, and I decided to go in and check it out for myself. Here's the breakdown:
1. Food was very good. Once staff noticed guests really went for the cheese pizzas, they focused on making those, and kept them coming. They also announce what type of pizzas they are bringing out.
2. Staff was friendly to us. We were welcomed upon entering, and our server was very attentive to us.
3. Restaurant had great ambiance. Soothing visuals on the tv screens were ocean views and nature.
4. Restrooms were clean and well supplied.
5. Our table was pre-bused on a regular basis.
6. Condiments and napkins were full.
I'm not certain of the specifics of the one star reviews, but I could find no reason not to give this restaurant and this experience well deserved five stars.
Thanks for giving my family and me a positive experience!“
