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!!“

“The atmosphere was soothing and relaxing for our lunch. The oil and herbs dipping sauce and crusty bread was an excellent start. We were there for lunch and I received the chicken marsala. Tender seasoned chicken with the flavorful sauce and perfectly cooked pasta was the bomb. Using the crusty bread to get every drop of sauce put me in my happy place. I could have eaten a whole plate of those mushrooms by themselves. One of my guests got a chicken parm sandwich/sub which was toasty and tasty. They loved how flavorful the sauce was. My other guest got the Italian sandwich/sub. It came as ordered without the vinaigrette or tomatoes. She enjoyed it very much. The ingredients looked so fresh and enticing. Staff and owner were very professional and made you feel like home. An after lunch cappuccino made for the perfect ending.“

“best food ever“

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

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

“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 🥰“

“Convenient location. Food is yummy but could be a little less $. Unfortunately they recently switched from Coke products to Pepsi products. I wish they would switch back. Keep the tables cleaner. To go can get busy so be patient with them. One of the employees who has brought our food to the table the last few times we have been smells too strong of a perfume that does not smell good at all. I can smell her when she just walks by the table too which is annoying as I wish to smell yummy pizza, wings, and other foods.“

“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“
