13 Best Italian Restaurants near Wendell

“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.“

“Large Beef Pizza!! Soooo Goooood!! Great Customer Service!!“

“Fiori Italian Restaurant & Bar in Clayton offers an exceptional dining experience marked by gracious hospitality, attentive service, and beautifully crafted cuisine. From the moment you are welcomed by the hostess, it is clear you are about to enjoy a memorable evening. Mr. Wade, the assistant manager, consistently demonstrates a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. His presence adds a thoughtful touch to the overall experience, ensuring that your visit is both comfortable and enjoyable. We always request Alejandro as our server, as his service is truly outstanding. He provides impeccable care, anticipates needs with ease, and maintains a warm, professional demeanor that enhances every meal. The entrees at Fiori are culinary works of art - elegantly presented, balanced in flavor, and rich without being overwhelming. We highly recommend the Veal, Chicken and Eggplant Parmigiana, each prepared with exceptional skill. The Pappardelle Bolognese is definitely our favorite, offering a hearty, beautifully seasoned dish that never disappoints. To conclude the meal, the overstuffed cannoli is a delightful indulgence and the perfect finishing touch. Fiori is a restaurant meant to be savored - an inviting place to enjoy refined Italian cuisine, warm hospitality, and a consistently wonderful dining experience.“

“best food ever“

“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!“

“Best Philly cheese steak in Zebulon 🤟🔥🙏❤️“

“I already love Saks Deli for their restaurant (the Mad Mushroom Philly with Cooper is my all time favorite), but this review is all about the wonderful part they had in catering my sister’s bridal shower. Matt and his team provided turkey & provolone pinwheels, chocolate-covered strawberries, and cream puffs — everything was delicious and such a hit with our guests! As always, Matt handled the order professionally and on time, making the whole process easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Saks Deli not only for catering special occasions but also anytime you’re looking for a great meal in Clayton off Hwy 70.“

“The most amazing food. Always delicious at ALL locations, friendly service and wonderful atmosphere.“

“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.“

“I was pleasantly surprised. Walking in and seeing the atmosphere I was not expecting much. The food is absolutely delicious though!!! The portion sizes are good, my kids were able to split the chicken alfredo with plenty left over. The garlic knots are a Must have! They sit in a buttery garlic marinade that's to die for.“

“Moved to Clayton almost 2 years ago. Have been by Primo Pizza many times and said we gotta try it. Finally did today. Asked for a plain cheese pizza, partially cooked cuz it was earlyish and we were gonna finish cooking at home. The gentleman making the pizza cooked it exactly as asked, showing us before we took it. Being from the NY area, and my husband being Italian, we are very picky about our pizza. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Highly recommend - you will NOT be disappointed 🥰“

“My definite go to on any day!“

“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“
