10 Best Italian Restaurants near Alliston

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem in Alliston! My husband and I recently moved to Alliston and were eager to try Rocco’s after hearing great things about their veal parm sandwich. From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear that this wasn’t just a restaurant—it was someone honoring their family history and love of cooking for others. We met Rose, the heart and soul of Rocco’s, who told us she needed to deliver a catering order herself because a driver hadn’t shown up. She asked us to come back in 20 minutes, so we walked around the block. When we returned, we were welcomed inside by a friendly couple who were friends of Rose while we awaited her return. As we chatted about Alliston’s seasonal events—like the potato festival parade and the tree bonfire—it felt like we were already part of the community. When Rose returned, she couldn’t believe we had come back! She greeted us with a warm hug and shared her excitement about welcoming us to the neighborhood. Despite her long day, she was full of energy and kindness. Rose shared stories about her family, the history of the restaurant, and her passion for cooking. She even introduced us to her three gentle giant dogs, who added to the cozy atmosphere. Before we could decide what to order, Rose ran into the kitchen and whipped up a delicious appetizer of pasta and garlic bread for us—just because she wanted to. When we finally mentioned we’d heard about the veal parm sandwich (which wasn’t even on the menu!), she lit up. Rose suggested trying both the veal and chicken, and we chose cheese and sweet peppers toppings. The sandwiches were incredible. The veal was tender and flavourful, the chicken juicy, the cheese thick and gooey, and the sauce and peppers tied everything together perfectly. But what truly set this experience apart was Rose’s generosity and passion. Payment was never discussed, and Rose simply wanted to share her love of food and her story with us. We left Rocco’s back into the cold but were warmed by Rose and her friend’s hospitality as well as our hot sandwiches. If you’re in Alliston, you must visit Rocco’s—not just for the incredible food, but for the unforgettable experience Rose creates. Thank you, Rose, for welcoming us so warmly to the neighborhood!“

“Fantastic Italian cuisine, friendly staff, excellent atmosphere. Highly recommend. 👏👍“

“Came here and ordered a big order for a youth organization. I called in advance to place an order for 20 kids for take out and gave them my budget and they were super accommodating. We got pizza, pasta, breadsticks and drinks. I definitely recommend them if you need to do catering orders and the place was super clean and they had a few seats for dine in but not a lot.“

“I have known KC for almost 15+ years and today I went to go get a late night pie with the old lady. I saw him. It has been over a year since we last saw each other. We chatted up a storm caught up .. and by the end of it .. he gave us the pizza on the house!! And a delicious one to boot !!! Great pizza … store is ran by a great man. Please go see him !! Won’t regret it !!.“

“Great food. Super friendly staff. Really cute place. Even has a robot server. Although he's been on strike of late.

Vegetarian options: Great salads. Couple of veggie pizzas but they do custom pizza and pasta so lots of choice.“

“I really like spit fire. The environment is really nice and it's just a beautiful pizza shop.
The pizza was absolutely scrumptious and fresh. It was a good crispy yet chewy crust with flavourful toppings. The worker was superfriendly and welcoming.
Every time I've spoken to her on the phone and seen her in person she's been nothing but wonderful and lovely with me and her customer service.

Can't wait to return for my next pizza. Is a definite pizza gem in tottenham.“

“Amazing food, welcoming atmosphere. Truly authentic.“

“I recently decided to give this place another try, and I’m so glad I did! The improvements they’ve made are clear, and it’s now a must-visit. The pizza was absolutely delicious—perfectly crispy crust, fresh toppings, and a rich, flavorful sauce. I can tell they’ve really focused on quality and customer satisfaction. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I’ve heard great things about their recent changes, and I can confidently say this is a pizza spot worth checking out again. Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t been in a while—it’s definitely on the up and up“
