16 Best Italian Restaurants near Waynesville

“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.“

“This restaurant would be just another Fazoli’s without their amazing team member, Caitlin. She takes customer service to another level in 2025. She’s friendly, always offers a smile and personalizes each and every interaction with patrons. Not to mention she follows up with customers to ensure their experience is a positive one in the dining room. A+ Caitlin!!!“

“It has wonderful Service. really it’s an amazing place to eat! I love it“

“Mist recent last week Chicken parmigiana, just sooooooo excellent and chicken melt in your mouth!! Husband ordered their Meats Pizza. So very good. We split our courses and still had enough to take home for next day lunch!! Staff very personable and attentive. Can not say enough of their excellent quality and presentation of their most delicious food. Tried their variety of meals, all superb!!“

“Always love their food and service ❤️❤️“

“we both got chicken and gnocchi soup, it's our fav! had an issue with one dish that came out, it was much much more oily that anticipated, to the point we couldn't handle eating any of it, but our server (i believe her name was Madi) was extremely nice and understanding! replaced it with a different meal and didn't charge us for the other one either. incredible experience! we almost always fill up on the unlimited soup and bread, but it's still worth it because then you get a whole other meal to bring home!“

“I'm in Centerville Ohio today showing condos. I love finding small, family-owned restaurants that have been in business for more than a minute. I asked the Google Machine to take me to the best local Italian restaurant, and it sent me to Tuscany's Italian Restaurant and what a treat it was. The owner makes her own dough daily for her thin crust pizzas and bakes it in a gas oven instead of the track ovens used by many. It was one of the best pizzas I’ve had n a long time. The owner is from Jordan but her mother is Italian and taught her how to make fabulous Italian dishes and pizza. I highly recommend this place.“

“I always take my grand kids & family here when I come to Dayton.area. Each time prior our 6 or 7 pizzas were always hot with plenty of toppings; we also love the dinner salad. This time our angry bee keeper pizzas had noticably too few pieces of pepperoni, some slices lacked any pepperoni. Still a great place to take 9 of us.“

“The Lasagna is amazing! We went early Saturday evening and it was the perfect atmosphere and our waitress was amazing but I remember more than anything is the lasagna was amazing. I'll definitely be back. My boyfriend and I split the lasagna and another pasta dish so these are two half portions but the lasagna is what I will never forget.“

“First time here and food and service were excellent. I was also excited because they had no music which I consider noise pollution when I am trying to have a conversation with a friend. The server told us this was because they forgot to turn it on. PLEASE, keep it off. It was wonderful. I go to a restaurant to enjoy food and conversation, not to listen to a concert.“

“I was driving by and saw the Little Caesars sign and thought that would be a good treat for my drive home after a long day.

Shout out to Rachel who offered to make me a fresh pizza 15 mins before close. I work in a service industry. There is a lot of bad customer service these days but she was polite and friendly and accommodating.

Good pizza with a smile, can't beat that! Made my 1.5 hr drive home that much better.“

“Hometown favorite EVERY time I come home!!! Love that they now offer a lunch combo and it's reasonable. Would much rather eat at Marion's for lunch than a burger joint!

Parking: Lunch time isn't bad; dinner/weekends/special events can sometimes fill the lot“

“Got the 8 piece Detroit style pizza, and the “jet 10”toppings. The pizza was surprisingly good for a pizza chain type pizza. Crust was thick, buttery and crispy and there was plenty of toppings. The pizza had a very satisfying crunch. I would recommend this pizza for sure if you’re looking for some good pizza on a budget.“

“Rapid Fires Pizza on Miamisburg Centerville Rd. is a must-try for any pizza lover! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they were happy to answer all of my questions about the menu. I opted for the Hog Heaven pizza, and it was absolutely amazing. It was like a meat lover’s pizza on steroids, loaded with all of my favorite toppings. The crust was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was flavorful and delicious. I will definitely be back to try more of their pizzas soon! #pizza #pizzalover #pizzalovers“

“Cassano's has one of the most unique, crispy thin crust pizza's. The salty aspect was missing this time, but It's still great! You know a pizza is good when you can just order cheese. I wouldn't say this is the best Cassano's location, but we definitely will be back when we are in this area.“

“We ate at Villaggio's this evening. We always appreciate having Randa as our waitress whenever we come in. She is so pleasant and hard working and always takes great care of us. The food and patio seating this evening were excellent. Thanks for everything!!!“
