29 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“

“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.“

“Great Chicago Deep dish pizza! This is the teal deal. I lived in Chicago for 4 years. You might be wondering about the price, but this pizza is thick and very filling. My 20 year old boys could only finish 1 1/2 slices while the normal people could only eat 1 slice. Fantastic toppings and Thursdays is 50% off all alcoholic beverages. Good beer selection. Plan accordingly, It does take time to make this so, bring a designated driver and enjoy the wait.
I live in Mint Hill and it's worth the drive.“

“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.“

“We wanted a good pizza and man did they deliver! The staff was extremely helpful on a busy Saturday night with a very full house. We ate in the store and they had some cheese cake we took home. 5 stars“

“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.“

“Best pizza in town. So many flavorful options!! Employees were very polite! Building is well kept and clean. I am a big italian food lover and this is my new favorite place, they have great italian pasta dishes, baked dishes, desserts and appetizers as well. Wide spread menu, awesome service.“

“First visit. Food was excellent and service was on top of things. Would love to give this 5 stars and come back often.

Only complaint was the acoustics. The crowd really grew after we got there at 6, and the noise grew steadily. It was mostly professionals and couples. I found myself talking louder and louder to be heard - even asking my friend to repeat themselves. The voices carried and echoed, so just general conversation was hard.

For reference, we were seated in the front corner, to the far left after entering from the door. Our whole side seemed louder than the other side, where the bar was. By the end, I couldn’t wait to leave.“

“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.“

“If you like Neapolitan Pizza you will love this place. We tried the Pistachio Pesto Pizza and it was surprisingly one of our favorite pizzas. Along with the Diavola Pizza, the Burrata Pizza, and the Mushroom Maria (which i felt could use more tuffle oil, but it was still really good.) And they have the best Cannolis I have ever tasted in my life. Made with real mascarpone cheese, not basic brick cream cheese. And the pumpkin spice one was a really nice autum treat! Would go great with a cuppa coffee. We ate 4 pizzas in store. And ordered another pizza and cannolis to go. This place is a must try. Me and my family give it a 10/10.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I had a great! Experience at Tony’s pizza and will definitely be going back there more often! The service was so kind and awesome.The food was delectable and was a reasonably priced for what I got. We go every Sunday now and love the Sunday special. The service was so great! Our food came so fast and never disappoints.I definitely recommend this place if you’re craving some NY styled pizza!“

“This was my first time ordering from Liberetto’s and it was great! Empire, Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, Domino’s and Mellow Mushroom could NEVER! I’m just hoping that they remain consistent with the taste, quality, and service! They were even nice enough to give me a 14” pizza instead of the 12” I ordered due to the wait; that’s how you do customer service. ??“

“Stopped in for some Sunday sushi, great visit. Ordered some sushi minus a few ingredients, and the manager (didn't get her name) went out of her way to adjust our order to a similar, yet cheaper, option. Service from Alexis was top notch as well.“

“The pizza was great! Service was friendly.

This is so much tastier and higher quality compared to national chains for just a bit more money.

The toppings especially were really good and the amount generous and high quality. I really enjoyed the sausage that’s not clusters but sliced rounds.“
