14 Best Italian Restaurants in Wake Forest

“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!“

“Went with a group of 5 adults. We will did different pasta, a cheese bread, and meatball pocket.... Everyone enjoyed their food a lot!! The guys helping us were great and the restaurant was very clean. 5 adults, 5 dinners and it was cheaper than the local sandwich/burger place two of us went to for lunch recently.“

“Great food excellent service and very reasonable prices. It is my new favorite spot.“

“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 🍕“

“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.“

“We stopped here for lunch on a weekday. The food was pretty good, especially considering the lower price compared to other AYCE sushi places.

Food: most of the sushi was good, some had a slightly fishy smell, and there weren't that many with raw fish but overall, fairly good. I think it's an NC thing to have more fried/cooked rolls. Nigiri was okay, a bit bland. Some of the kitchen appetizers were pretty good, especially the chicken skewer.

Ordering on the tablet was nice bc you dont have to wait for a person to come by. They also brought things out fairly quickly. However, when it got busier, there were some issues: we were brought something we didnt order (which is fine) but then there were things we ordered that didnt come (and we were later told it was brought to the wrong/another table).

Definitely worth a visit, a few issues but for the price, I would recommend. Checkout the posted video for a scroll through the menu!“

“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.“

“The employees were awesome and so friendly!“

“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.“

“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.“
