28 Best Italian Restaurants near Waxhaw

“I went for the Saturday brunch and had the seafood omelette which was a disappointment because of the imitation crab meat which overpowered everything else in it. The potatoes were great. I’ve been there for dinner many times and everything was always delicious.“

“doordash today whoever your chef is tonight.. pay him double !!!!! the food was delish! risotto is on point (i am picky with risotto) we also had pizze and family had chicken dish. everyone was happy . it was absolutely delish“

“I'm originally from IL. There are zero decent pizza places in Charlotte. I knew about Rosait's in Waxhaw and was very hesitant to try it. I'm glad I did. Yes, the place has very limited seating, but it didn't matter to me. The service can be better, especially if they ask for tips. The thin crust pepperoni pizza was A+! Just like when I had it back in IL. It was made correctly, and it had a slight crust crunch. The taste brought back memories! I will be eating pizza here for now on! As for the critics posting here, please, way too dramatic foe my taste and making this place sound bad.

Parking: Plenty of parking.“

“Absolutely amazing pizza!!! GREAT PRICES! I ordered at 30 mins before closing. They were more than willing to help me even with closing coming close.“

“I want to be as objective as possible. Im trying to play nice. Especially for a restaurant that charges your card for a reservation hold. Our reservation didn't get booked, so we sat at the bar. The service was good. My card got declined because it was locked. The bartender was patient while I figured it out. However, the food which is always my main focus. Let's talk about the food. It was rather disappointing. We opted for a small Salad, Chicken Parm, and Nutella pie. The only thing decent was the pie. It was huge, light and fluffy, and covered in caramel. The chicken Parm was a great size (2 big) breasts heavily breaded and covered in sauce and cheese, completely lacking flavor. The breading did have herbs. Additionally, it was completely greasey. You could squeeze the cutlet and the oil oozed. They definitely needed salt, too. The side of spaghetti was no different. The sauce was the same and lacked flavor. I did add fresh shaved parmesan, so the salt in that should have enhanced the flavor, but it was still lacking . The whole meal was void of flavor but looked esthetically palatable. I asked her opinion and she felt the same. Gave it a 2 out of 10. In fairness, she's Indian so she likes heavy flavor and spice, and I love strong seasoning, so this may not have been our cup of tea. So, take my review with a pinch of salt.“

“Delicious authentic Italian in a great atmosphere.“

“Yesterday was my first time trying Nothing but Noodles and I was very much impressed, I went back for lunch again. Amazing food!!!“

“I happened to be with a friend shopping at one of the stores in the strip and thought how I’ve been wanting to try this place and finally did! Flav was fun to talk with and the coffee was great. There are tons of authentic dried pastas and sauces to purchase as well.“

“I posted before that we would not eat in here because of a waitress named Lana. She couldn't keep her hands off my husband. With that being said. We went to place a order to go tonight. We noticed no Lana. (Made my day). Our waitress was Donna which is the sister of our favorite bartender, Marsha. Who no longer works there. Bad bad loss for them. Donna did an amazing job. The young guy behind the bar did a so so job.“

“Ordered various dishes and have never been disappointed“

“For the price it’s truly a great value for an Italian meal. Great taste and really decent size portions. Only negative I would say is the service was slow…. This may have been a kitchen issue not a service issue. We waited about 1hr for our meal. This was the only issue other than that a good Italian restaurant.“

“Negroni to start, little gem Caesar salad, scallops with corn risotto, espresso martini to finish…..ALL perfect Including the service. I look forward to returning.Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“I had the prime rib (excellent), my wife had the cod over the spaghetti (excellent), my child had the spaghetti with marinara sauce (excellent). What else can I say…100% EXCELLENT!!!“

“Had a delicious dinner tonight. I had scallops with mushroom risotto, it was delightful! The ambiance is romantic and relaxing. Yorelis took exceptional care of us. She is attentive, very friendly, and takes pride in her work. I will definitely be back soon.“

“I messed up my order by not reading the ingredients list. They made me the pizza I wanted and gave me my mistake-pizza for free. No haggling. Just a cheerful offer to absord the cost of my error. Can't beat that service.

The photo is the pepperoni pizza I intended to order.

Dietary restrictions: My dairy free son loves the margarita pizza with vegan cheese and he hates everything else vegan.“

“I had this pizza years ago when I was in the shopping center in one day for lunch and I remember it being yummy finally had it again a couple weeks ago and it was even better than I remembered. start again tonight and it was just fantastic the sauce is delicious the pizza is cooked perfectly and the prices are reasonable.“

“Love DeSano Pizza! I have a garlic allergy and they always accommodate my custom order to make my pizza without garlic. They even change their gloves so there isn't any cross-contamination. Love this place!“

“Alfredo spinach pizza great BUT they still charge for chicken when I requested no chicken. So I had to pay more for the dead ingredient that makes it expensive being a vegetarian. Boo-hiss!! Excuse: "No option on computer to deduct chicken" Lame, lame, lame!!!“

“My first time here. The place was busy consistently while we were there. Obviously they have a great reputation. I'll be honest my sandwich was just OK. There was nothing about it that separated it from any other Italian sandwich. However, the pizza's were amazing!!! The service was great. The young man with the Steelers hat (I teased him about it) had a great attitude and was kind and took great care for our table. 5 gold stars and keep up the great service!“

“This place is an institution. I've taken plenty of New Yorkers here and they said it tastes like it does back home. My kids are big fans of the huge slices. For NY style pizza I do love the crispy crust and slices that take up two plates.“

“Fabulous Pizza. Always good, seems to be authentic. Great atmosphere for wqtching sports, or for a quick lunch. The New York theme is cool, even for a local like me.

Wheelchair accessibility: Great, there was someone in a chair while I was here. All good.“

“I had an exceptional lunch at Libretto’s Pizzeria today with two friends. We were seated in the dining area, where the service was impeccable, and the meal was even better. I ordered the Bianca pizza, and it was absolutely divine—cooked to perfection. I can’t wait to return for another great experience!“

“There are a lot of mixed reviews on here but we always love red bowl! There are a lot of options, we’ve never been disappointed by any of them, and the portions are so large that you almost always have left overs. The owner is incredibly kind and even went to Harris teeter to get our son milk when they ran out. This has been one of our go-to places for years now.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs, kids cups, and the owner even went to Harris teeter to get our kid milk when they ran out.“
