19 Best Italian Restaurants in Eugene

“Went there tonight for my birthday and for the first time. The ambiance: amazing! Went with the family and it’s so cozy in there! The service: super attentive. Our server was very knowledgeable about every part of the menu and explained it thoroughly. Really cool pronunciation of all the menu items (I butchered everything 😂) The food: OMG, the food! We shared a margherita pizza and a seasonal polenta appetizer —it was fresh and amazing. I had the seasonal mushroom ravioli with a truffle cream sauce. My partner had the squid ink pasta. His parents each had one of the chicken dishes. We then shared two chocolate forward desserts. We left stuffed and happy. Our server kept apologizing for the speed of service but we were very happy to just chill out and visit and enjoy it all. My partner and I look forward to returning and enjoying this establishment again as a couple. I highly recommend it!“

“Fabulous authentic Italian food“

“We found ourselves in Eugene after driving from Portland to see the Savannah Bananas play. As a family, we love good food and needed a place to seat 5 of us for dinner after the show. We came across Osteria DOP, and fortunately they were able to seat us by the chef's table. These guys are artists, yet unpretentious. They know their food. We ordered from a large portion of the menu and shared a bottle of wine. Pastas were perfectly cooked. Pizzas had a fantastic crust. Ingredients were super fresh. Everyone was friendly, and even though we were the last to leave since we lost track of time and were having such a good time, no one rushed us out. They took time to chat with us and get to know us a little better. I had such a good time that I accidentally left my favorite cold weather jacket on their coatrack, but I didn't notice it was missing until a couple weeks later (I live in LA, where you don't need it much). I reached out to the guys, and they promptly mailed it back. Seriously, who does that these days? Great food, great people. Highly recommend a visit if you're ever in the area.“

“Seriously best pasta in Lane County. I will not go anywhere else for my birthday dinner! Service has always been amazing and the staff are so kind.“

“I love this restaurant. I've been going here for years. I always recommend it to people that are looking for a great locally owned gem, have just moved here or are visiting. I love the authentic Italian food. And the building is a very cool older house with a great feel to it. I think its very romantic and a nice place to treat yourself/loved ones. Its privately owned by 2 Italian gentleman. Hence the name. Sometimes they will be at the restaurant and are very friendly and fun to talk to. I highly recommend.“

“Good food, good people, good service. Never had a problem with anyone here and they value their customers and their health and safety. Thanks!~“

“I needed a fix for my cravings for light fried and lasagna w a sip of sangria and Olive Garden popped up. I ordered two appetizers, lasagna and sangria. I get tipsy very easily but enjoyed my time here and my stomach was happy, glad I am not driving. Will be back again. Thanks !“

“Amazing service from Scott. We had a variety of pasta dishes, fried calamari and Parmesan bread. It was all delicious. Our finicky teenagers loved it! Great hip atmosphere. Highly recommend for families.“

“Growing up in Italy, I’ve always had high expectations when it comes to pasta, and The Old Spaghetti Factory has become one of my go-to spots here. I stop by often for their classic spaghetti with mizithra cheese and browned butter. simple, rich, and so comforting, it instantly brings me back to Sunday family dinners in Turin. The quirky, vintage atmosphere makes it even more special, almost like stepping into a storybook“

“They must've seen how sappy me and my romantic partner were being, because they put us in the most "Lady and the Tramp" part of the restaurant, right in front of the gas fireplace. The service was great (Leo 🤘) and we ended up cleaning our plates. Well done.“

“If you’re looking for a Classy environment and a quality cup of Joe, this is your place.“

“Awesome Place! Karaoke 🎤 Chaiyo Food Truck 😋Free Pool! Awesome Bartenders!“

“We had a fantastic wine dinner that took us back to Sicily. It was an amazing time with perfectly prepared dishes, paired up with some new and interesting varietals. Don’t miss out and catch the next one or just go in and have an exceptional dinner.“

“The restaurant was busy, the staff were helpful and accommodating. We put our names in (there are a handful of "table" seats, the rest are wall/counter seats - they've made the most of available floor space) and approx 40 minutes later we were seated (we were told it would be 30-40 minutes so right on time). You'll get a text when seating is ready so if you want to take a stroll around the area you can. Ordering was digital and food came out at a reasonable pace. We tried a bit of everything and didn't get one thing we didn't enjoy. We'll definitely be back! Only gave the atmosphere a 4 just because of the tighter quarters and noise level (to be expected with the space/layout/number of people). Just noting that for those that may be sensitive to those things.“

“Excellent, leisurely birthday lunch in a quiet corner of the restaurant. Wait staff were attentive to us and responsive to whatever we needed to make the dining wonderful. The food was delicious starting with the French onion soup. The hummus plate was outstanding as was the Reuben sandwich. We'll be coming back soon!“
