25 Best Italian Restaurants near Wrightsville Beach

“This place is slinging some of the best slices of New York pizza that I’ve had outside of New York or New Jersey. The crust was perfect and everything was coming fresh out of the oven, even late at night. I could and would eat a whole cheese pie if you asked me to. This is walking pizza though, not a place for sitting down.“

“Good food, Great service.“

“What an amazing first experience we had tonight! My wife and I live in Myrtle Beach, but our child lives here. We are staying at their place watching their pets while they are away. This place has been on our to try list for a while now and we finally had the opportunity. What an incredible experience! The food was outstanding! The flavor was on point and the servings were huge! My wife and I each had an amazing pasta dish and split the largest piece of coconut cake we have ever seen. Now, you would think after all that I just wrote that would be the best part of our experience, but it wasn’t! The absolute best part was one of the kindest people we have ever met, Bella! Let me tell you the meaning of her name fits in so many ways! She was absolutely incredible! So kind! So caring! I honestly could go on and on! She made my mine and my wife’s evening such a memorable night.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and portions were quite large. Its a cozy little place and the owners and staff are very kind and gracious. We will be back for sure.“

“I’m absolutely in love with their delicious Italian cuisines. It’s honestly, in my opinion the best in Wilmington. The staff are super nice! Especially, Al and Haily, because I’ve personally have met them both. Wilmington please try this restaurant to keep it going for years to come. My precious granddaughter loves it also. Thanks for all the hard work y’all put into making those mouth watering entrees. ????????“

“We went to Roko Italian restaurant last night, for New Year’s Eve, in Wilmington . We sat at the bar, Jason took care of us , if you’re looking for the ultimate experience and great customer service sit at the bar and let him wine and dine you you’ll simply love it just like we did . I had the lamb chops , my daughter had the Chicken Florentine. Thank you Jason for a great job. Looking forward to coming back in 2023.“

“First time my husband and I had ever eaten here and it was delicious and the prices were good. The staff were amazing especially when we accidentally dropped our leftover spaghetti and meatballs. They gave us a brand new one on the house even though they didn't have too and we didn't ask. We will definitely be going back and I recommend this place to anyone.“

“My wife and I recently visited the Osteria Cicchetti for an appetizer and a drink to just relax and have some "us time". We sat in the bar area at a high top table for two and our server was Danielle. She was friendly, polite, helpful and made our visit even more enjoyable but not rushing us. We ordered the Margherita Pizza, a glass of white wine and a Stella Artois. Everything was just right... Danielle bought us over some Italian bread and Flatbread, which we both like. I added some olive oil with sea salt and black pepper to my dish so that we had some dipping "sauce". All in all we both really enjoyed our visit to the O.C. for an appetizer and relaxation time.“

“This is hands-down the most sensory and intellectual pizza experience in ILM. The dough/crust alone is worth the experience. It is crisp, chewy, bubbly, charred in the correct places, and melts in the mouth. The ingredients are carefully sourced, fresh and always a flavor-bomb. The wine list, featuring biodiverse and experimental options, pairs perfectly with the unctuous pies. The core offerings, such as the burrata, lemon or mushroom pies, feel like old friends, while the specials, such as flowering cauliflower or broccoli rabe, are revelations. Superior cooking and imagination here in our lil’ old town.“

“Sooooo Good. We live in Little River SC and we love this place“

“This is the best Pizza joint in Wilmington hands down. They use the best Italian ingredients, their cheeses are delicious. The meats are so flavorful. This pizza tastes different than all the other pizzas in town. You can actually taste the quality. The staff are wonderful. So kind and helpful, they know us by name!!!! Love this place! It’s my “go to” for pizza! Try it you’ll like it, take a tip from me!!!! Tootles!!!!!“

“Great service! Had a lovely night, best part was the delicious food! Chef’s kiss“

“Thank you for the incredible service and food. The catering order was exactly what we wanted and everyone raved about how amazing the food was. The service was so streamlined picking it up - it was fresh and hot and your staff graciously brought everything out to the car for us. Thank you so much for helping make my husband's 50th birthday a hit!“

“It's a locals bar. Food is alright, I do like the salads, and a few other menu items but often my order is wrong. However, they do try to correct any mistakes. Service is usually good especially if you go in there often. Atmosphere is okay, I feel it's dark and a little outdated but overall comfortable.“

“Michaelangelo’s is a fan favorite at our house when it comes to pizza.🍕 The dough tastes amazing and is coupled with their fresh ingredients. Friendly staff make the experience wonderful whether you’re eating a slice at the restaurant or grabbing pizza to go home.“
