12 Best Italian Restaurants near Lebanon

“Celebrating our 34 year anniversary and we always try someplace new. Villagios did not disappoint!! Our server Randa was excellent and even brought us a sweet treat to celebrate! Definitely have to make the 50 minute drive again for this hidden gem. Thank you!“

“What a great find! We went for the first time because I was craving spaghetti. It was nice out, so we sat at one of the tables outside. The owner came out to check on us. Super nice guy! Everything we had was delicious. Next time we’ll be ordering pizza!“

“Ashley helped us with a gift card fiasco(Something called Feeding America). It was Mother's Day and very crowded. She spent time with us even though she was needed elsewhere. SO IMPRESSED! We definitely will be back. BTW food was excellent!“

“Walking into Piada Mason feels like visiting a friend’s kitchen—warm, inviting, and full of energy. The staff greet you with genuine smiles and eager to recommend their favorites. I asked for pairing suggestions and one of the team members guided me through the menu with enthusiasm, crafting a combo that hit all the right spots (and it was delicious!). The servers don’t just take orders—they check in, refill drinks, and make you feel truly welcome. Great food is one thing, but the hospitality here really sets Piada apart. Big thanks to the fantastic crew!“

“Went to a celebration gathering for dinner with a party of 11. Appetizers took a while to come out, but the waitress apologized. Everyone liked their food, but my wife and I ordered the salmon. It was grilled and a bit dry and had no seasoning on it, except a bit of some kind of bland sauce. The risotto was similarly without flavor. The asparagus was fine, but one of the stalks my wife got on her plate was thin, shriveled and overdone. There were some in the group that got the scallops and all raved about how delicious they were. Will have to try those next time, or something more traditionally Italian, like their lasagna, which I heard was good. Would like to see a vegetarian lasagna be offered, but I know restaurants today have you focus on big sellers. Overall good Italian food - the bread and dipping oil was a highlight - and the atmosphere was great for a group dinner or a quiet couples night out. Next time, we will have to try the desert.“

“I came here for the first time tonight and must I say… THE BEST food ever!! So yummy, warm, and fresh!!
Now let’s get onto the main part… service! Lani deserves SOOO much appreciation!! She is such a funny, and personable waitress/person!! She took such good care of me and my family, she’s incredible!!“

“So happy OG delivers. Abby is so helpful & I placed an order & called back to add extra sauce . Told her I would b happy to pay extra & she did not charge me . The food portions are huge like when dining inside . Free delivery too! I highly recommend. They pack utensils & extra napkins without asking .“

“Always a great experience at this location. We picked the bar happy hour this time & at 4:45 the bar was completely packed. I was so impressed with the service as the bartender handled every customer on his own and was amazing! He is a keeper!!! Very professional and attentive.“

“Today's food was great. My order was taken and served in a timely manner. After that, service became very lacking. I sat at the bar and was the only patron dining in. Another person came in, sat beside me and was ignored for a long amount of time. With the bar in close sight and plain view from the kitchen/prep area, it still took both of us calling to that area to get someone's attention. I was not brought my bill at any point of the duration of my visit, and had to ask for it, again with lack of attention from the prep area. Charging a fee for credit/debt transactions may seem needed, but it is not acceptable or fair. Because of that, although it's not fair to the servers, I am subtracting that fee amount from my tip with any place doing this now. It's within your control to opt for those charges. $3.49 is also an excessive and unfair price for a fountain drink when other establishment charge up to a dollar less ... and especially when yours is a self service station.“

“I love this pizza and the breadsticks. I used to eat here a lot but the manager would leave you waiting at the counter for ten to twenty minutes without service. He would see me and not bother helping or acknowledging me. I liked when Mark worked. He was always kind and helpful. I finally stopped going because I never knew whether I would be helped or not. I went in a couple of days ago with my son and Mark was working. He was kind and pleasant like in the past. Too bad the other person wasn’t as helpful. I really love the food. If Mark is working I will stop and eat. If the manager is working, I will keep on walking. Not sure how he keeps his job.“

“This was my first time at this Penn Station location, and as always, I’ve loved their subs—this location didn’t disappoint! I got the monthly special, the Reuben, along with fries and a drink. I chose the lemonade, though I think the special is supposed to be for fountain drinks only, but I appreciated the free upgrade! :-)

The service was great; the employees were friendly, had happy expressions, and were willing to help when needed. I visited on a Thursday early afternoon and was impressed with the service I received. The location is very convenient, close to dealerships, so I stopped by after my car maintenance.

I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area!“
