Italian Restaurants near Monroe

“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.“

“We ate at Caruso’s for the first time July 3, 2024. My wife and I thought our meals were 5 star, delicious! She had the Chicken Marsala and I had the Rigatoni Rustica. We asked our waiter Sam for his recommendations and we’re so glad we took his advice. Best Italian dishes we’ve ever enjoyed. We can’t wait to return with good friends. Excellent! Denny & Barb G.“

“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!“

“the crew and food was awesome. amazing staff 100%“

“This is our go-to restaurant for casual Italian dining. The service and food are consistently good and the prices are great.“

“Hubby & I just had lunch here a bit ago. We've never eaten here before. We shared a steak hoagie with onions, mushrooms, pickles and cheese. We got the parmesan bites and an order of fries. Absolutely delicious food! We had water to drink so our bill was only $21. Delicious food at a reasonable price! I highly recommend Richards“

“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.“

“Of course to me the Olive Garden is going to be good. Service is just as, if not more important to me than the food. My server was excellent. He was very personable and friendly. Has only downfall would be that he kept forgetting to bring my daughter a drink. The rest of the staff was genuinely friendly also. What I did not appreciate was the large table of loud teenagers they sat in the same area as older people and adults. It became hard to concentrate on our conversation and the food once they sat down. We packed our food, did not end up getting dessert and left quickly. Working as a hostess, you should know how to group certain people together. It ended our dining experience and lost your restaurant and the server additional money. How often do you think that has happened?. Lots of lost revenue not paying attention to details.“

“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!!“

“I want to give less stars, why, corporate america is ruining this company. No more bread and salad! The entrees are $28 and small portions. They used to have at least free bread! That said the service and GM were very nice and the food we got was wonderful! But we left hungry, why? I don't know any Italian restaurant to not give bread and olive oil and a small salad then main course for $28! We won't be going back, but again Erin and the GM where amazing.“

“Hannah did a great job of serving us. Would highly recommend her. The spaghetti bolognese and pizza were very tasty as well as the cocktails. great service and atmosphere.“

“Really great local shop serving hot, fresh food. The owner is super nice and the staff is very friendly! I love the roast beef the most“

“I was at Township Tavern last Wednesday night, July 9. First time I’ve been here. Michelle behind the bar was welcoming and quick with the drinks and taking our orders. The food service team was excellent and the food was just fantastic. Highly recommend the Italian sub and the breakfast burger. Will definitely be back.“

“Also good experience going to Bravo’s“

“We live just outside the delivery area for Jet's Pizza, so need to pickup my order. The store is basic, but then that's all it needs to be. Orders are ready at the time quoted.

Jet's Pizza is phenomenal. The deep crust is light and airy and the ingredients are top class IMO. They make a tasty pizza!

We have Jet's about once a month for years now and it's always been great and hot. Our orders have always been right and ready on time with friendly, if busy, staff ready to check you out and grab your order for you.“

“My family and I celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and we had a large party. The staff were welcoming and accommodating and the food was delicious. The service was delightful and prompt, our waitresses were friendly and all of our orders were correct. We absolutely couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves any better. Thank you so much for a memorable evening, I highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Our kids got their meals first and had the spaghetti and meatballs. They are very picky but loved their food.“
