13 Best Italian Restaurants near Central Point

“After recently relocating from Las Vegas, I’ve been on a mission to find the best pizza in Eagle Point and let me tell you, the search is officially over. Schmizza Pub & Grub absolutely blew me away. This place doesn’t just serve pizza; they serve an experience.

First of all, the slices are New York-sized, and I mean massive, one slice fills the plate and then some. But what makes it truly unforgettable is how they top it off Chicago-style thick, hearty, and full of flavor. It’s like someone took the best of both coasts and decided to marry them into one glorious pie. The crust has that perfect crisp on the outside with a doughy, chewy bite inside. Every topping tasted fresh and thoughtfully balanced, from the melty mozzarella to the spicy pepperoni and the vibrant tomato sauce.

But what truly elevated this visit was the top-tier service, and a huge shoutout goes to Shane, who made the entire experience even better. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, Shane made me feel like a regular on my very first visit. He answered questions, made great recommendations, and brought an energy that’s honestly rare to find in a small-town pub.

The atmosphere here is laid-back and fun, with a great drink selection and enough TVs to catch whatever game’s on without it being overwhelming. It’s the kind of place you can come to for a quick bite, a night out with friends, or even a solo escape when you just want comfort food done right.

If you’re in Eagle Point and haven’t tried Schmizza yet, what are you doing? The pizza is unreal, the vibe is perfect, and the service, especially from Shane, is the cherry on top. I’ve found my go-to spot, and I couldn’t be happier about it.“

“A Medford landmark… Relentlessly charming and cozy quaint…yet utterly sophisticated… How can this be? Our server’s skillful professionalism was amazing yet somehow overshadowed by her simple sincere comforting smile. Yes…we never cease to be blown away by this place. As for the food… It is nothing less than an honor to enjoy. You can taste the patience, and commitment and long hours invested in every dish. Vinny and his family are a local treasure.“

“Rosario's is delicious Italian food with a quaint, dining atmosphere and seasonal outdoor seating. We love the food and the new Rocket Salad is so good!“

“Great food at a great price. We have hosted multiple party’s at Angelo’s in Medford and would highly recommend.“

“I went there with a friend last night for dinner, drinks, girl time. A guy at the bar came up to our table, clearly trying to make the moves. He was nice but then came up a second time. Said I was beautiful and asked if I was married. Again he was nice and I immediately made it clear I’m a happily married woman and proceeded to show him pictures of my rather hunky husband. Later as the checks came our waiter wrote my friend a note making sure we were ok and if we felt uncomfortable and he gave us a “code” to say if we needed help. Anyways, that was amazing and so appreciated and it means a lot when someone is paying attention and wants to make sure a couple girls having dinner were ok and felt safe. So thank you so much for taking that extra step. Love this place and the food and service was wonderful“

“All in all is was pretty good. However, I asked for penned pasta and was brought out spaghetti noodles, and it was only then I was told they didn't have any penne.
I'm pretty sure that was a lie, because I don't know what kind of Italian restaurant wouldn't have penne pasta. That said, still tasted good.“

“I’ve been meaning to post this review for a while. I went here in October with my girlfriend to celebrate. The food was delicious and amazing, I had one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant. However, they were out of a few of the sides, so we couldn’t get the menu items we originally wanted. Also, they served shoe string potato fries… but ran out of ketchup! I’ve never seen a restaurant run out of ketchup. Additionally our server acted super strange to us, not unfriendly just odd. Overall would recommend, but I guess Decan’t keep their kitchen stocked.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience at Cecily’s Italian Restaurant! I had dinner here with a newly discovered cousin who was visiting from out of town for work, and this spot was the perfect place for our meeting. My cousin is very selective about her food and atmosphere, but Cecily’s delivered on every level, delicious food, great wine, and a warm, welcoming vibe.

The wait staff was truly outstanding, attentive without being intrusive, and made us feel right at home. We were so engrossed in learning about our family tree and catching up that we ended up staying almost an hour after closing, yet the staff remained friendly, patient, and never rushed us out. That level of hospitality is rare and so appreciated.

Every dish we tried was fresh and flavorful, and the service made our dinner even more memorable. I wish I could remember every name to thank the team personally! If you’re looking for a local place in Medford with amazing Italian food, excellent service, and a comfortable setting for special occasions (or just catching up with loved ones), I can’t recommend Cecily’s enough. We’ll be back for certain!“

“Not a exaggeration when I say they have the damn best meatball sandwich I’ve ever had and that’s including family italian restaurant’s.“

“The garbage grinder was the BEST!!“

“For me it’s my favorite bar of all I’ve worked in which has been many. Coming back to the Bella was like coming home ♥️♥️♥️“

“Hands down the BEST Mediterranean pizza I've ever had!
If you're a fan of bold, fresh flavors—this place is a must-visit. The ingredients are always super fresh, the crust is perfectly crisp yet soft on the inside, and the combination of feta, olives, roasted veggies, and spices is absolutely addictive. You can taste the love and quality in every bite. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or dining in with friends, this pizza never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“We had an excellent experience. Between the three of us, we got jumbo lobster & crab ravioli, spicy spaghetti Vesuvius, and chicken parmigiana. We shared bites of each others and they were all amazing. The salads and soup (minestrone) were perfect as well. The service was excellent too. We were well taken care of from start to finish.“
