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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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 ❤️❤️“

“Absolutely love this place! I stop in every chance I get. Everything I’ve had is delicious but my favorite is their pizza and homemade salad dressing! Highly recommend!“

“And unusually off-pace night for Olive garden. We were first seated at a table by the windows and the draft and cold temperature was too much to take. We were accommodated and moved to a corner interior table (without a smile or empathy). Then in an unusual and unfortunate situation, I had to use my coaster to kill a small bug on the corner ledge. This has not happened before and I assume it's just part of being in the world as there were no other occurrences. Nonetheless, It was a distraction. Food there is usually good. The salad is always fantastic. Service was fine“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food and service were outstanding. Was there from 2:00 - 4:00 pm on a recent Friday for an office outing. Was surprised at how many other people were there as well. Ordering at the counter was easy, and the food came out quick. Staff was friendly, professional, and helpful. Keep up the great work!“

“Our intro to this location was less than inviting as we accidentally went up the steps to the to go pickup door. The steps were very unkempt. Also, we counted only seven or eight cars in the parking lot at 7:00 p.m. on a Friday night and it made us wonder if the place was closed.
We were redirected to the correct desk and spotted a number of folks at large tables and a few people at the bar, our destination. whew, looking ok inside.
Bartender Steve was awesome and made a killer martini for RRR and a glass of red for me which we enjoyed along with the complimentary bread.
Insalata della Casa for both of us and we split the Pasta Bravo.. It isn't my favorite but it's ok and the chicken is nicely cooked. RRR was very happy with it.
We're just glad to find a Bravos.“

“What can I not say about this place. After growing up in Centerville, I now live in Columbus. I almost always go to Marion’s when I am in town and get a pizza to go. Crust and toppings are still the same as they were 30 years ago. This particular location was closest to my home, and I still have great memories of playing The Simpsons and Street Fighter while waiting for the pizza to come. Just had some this past week and it was still great. Still can’t find anything in Columbus that comes close.“

“Detroit style pizza, nuff said. This place has made me second guess whether I love NY style or Detroit style. Getting a four corners can feed four people. The slices are huge amd fairly priced.
Also, the crew is always on point and friendly.“

“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“

“Randa!!!! let me tell you, she is absolutely amazing. She's 100mhp with great spirits. I feel like even if your having a bad day you should stop in and see her. She would definitely brighten it up. Villaggios, she is definitely a keeper.“

“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.“
