13 Best Italian Restaurants near Lansing

“I grew up in New Rochelle, NY and thus got to go to NYC quite often. For me, NYC pizza can't be topped. This place and Franco's in downtown Ithaca are about as close to NYC Pizza as it gets without actually Being NYC Pizza!

A couple of bonuses here are:
-the house salad always has beautiful, fresh and crispy lettuce (I've experienced much of the opposite from multiple pizzarias out here) as well as the best variety of fresh veggies to go along with it
-the portions of the Tiramisu are for one, delicious but also Generous. Especially for $5!

Occasionally, they may be understaffed and there may be a wait. Stay patient and kind - it's worth the wait!“

“Tonight I placed a delivery order and it was fabulous. I ordered the fried haddock dinner with penne pasta and tossed salad. The fish was cooked perfectly,( Not greasy at all)., and the portion was very generous. The Penne pasta was. Also delicious. Delivery was quick.. This is one of My. Favorite. Take out places. Can't go wrong!.“

“We both really enjoyed the pizza. Love the crispy crust too! Toppings were fantastic! We will definitely need to come back! We'll spread the word!!!“

“Lunch buffet is a great choice -healthy and quality food and great service. Life is service!“

“Lillyanna and I stopped to eat here in the Ithaca Mall the day before Halloween 😋 This pizzeria has been in this mall for as long as I can remember 🥰 The food was Amazing … but the Service and Customer Appreciation from this Man was unmatched by far especially these days!!! Made fresh food just the way we ordered … hand delivered to our table and the thankful hospitality was heart warming!! BRAVO Stefano 🙌 ❤️🇮🇹💚🍕🍝 🤌🏼🌹🌹 🙌“

“I had the lemon artichoke pasta . It was excellent along with the service !“

“You will not find a better place or nicer people on the commons than this place. One of my fav places !“

“Went with a group of 4 Freshmen college students. All the entrees and the pizza were really good. Good portions. Friendly service, it was very busy, but the server did very well while tending to several big tables at the same time! Will definitely be back.“

“Top notch! First time in Ithaca. I had a cocktail, starter and dinner and a cappuccino here. Totally a treat yo self moment. The place is decently priced but slightly pricy - but you get the quality of what you pay! The hanger steak and shoestring potatoes with the fresh vegetables is chef's kiss. The mixed salad starter will give me lunch for tomorrow and is also chef's kiss. The sparkling blue moon made me a prosecco lover. And the service was attentive and personal. Ithaca makes me want to leave Fort Lauderdale.

Update. I did have some severe GI upset after eating here and I don't know if it's something that I caught from elsewhere or if it was from the vegetables because I ate a lot of vegetables but I figured I would let people know. Unfortunately because of this I had to bring down 1 star cuz I don't know if that's from people handling my food or the fresh vegetables or the recent cystoisopora protozoa outbreak“

“This place is amazing , food is great Definitely authentic Italian food . We love it 100% ❤️ The only disappointment is this guy named Steve (sever) he’s so rude. The way he talked to he’s coworkers is unbelievable. No respect at all specially with young people. Hopefully the owners are aware of this guy behavior.“

“Top notch service and amazing food. I’ve been working a construction job for over a year now, across the street from here and we all go for lunch often. Kamal specifically always helps us get our lunch very fast and affordable. Highly recommend“

“Las pizzas más ricas que he probado!“

“Ordered Big Red Zone (chicken bacon ranch) takeout in person. Still tastes pretty good after 15 min walk back to my apartment even though it's lukewarm at this point. Marinara is just the right amount for a calzone although I'd prefer a warm sauce. Menu price $10.75 already includes tax, which is nice for diverse students at Cornell.“
