50 Best Italian Restaurants near King City

“great food nice people also the breakfast it's good.“

“The food and flavors at Dolly Olive were so unique in a good way. Items are served family style and meant to be shared with the recommendation of 2 dishes per person which seems about right. We left feeling satisfied and full but not overstuffed.

We ordered everything at the same time, and the kitchen delivered the dishes at appropriate times. We were served the warm, marinated olives and Dolly Caesar Salad at the same time, and both were very delicious. The Caesar salad has some twists to the traditional Caesar that worked well and was not heavy at all. Next up were the mushroom ravioli with a lemon sauce that was divine, and raviolis that had a great balance of pasta to mushroom filling. Our 4th dish was the eggplant parmigiana, and it may be the best version of this dish we’ve ever had. We were trying to figure out how they got the flavors so deep and smoky from the cheese to the eggplant and the marinara sauce. Our last savory dish was the crispy chicken confit which was bursting with such different textures and flavors that one wouldn’t think would go together, but they do.

After looking at the dessert menu, we decided to split the cannoli which was plentiful for 2 people. Similar to the salad, it wasn’t a traditional cannoli. The shell seemed more of an Asian eggroll shell, and we couldn’t figure out the underlying flavor in the chocolate filling. When we got a bit of the shell, filling, and caramel topping in one bite — oh my how good.

The service was very attentive as we had a main server, but it seems the entire front of the house staff ensures efficient (but not rushed) service. Our food was delivered by 4 different people other than our main server, and we had a 4th person clean our table after our ‘mains’ and before dessert. Everyone seemed focused on ensuring we had a great experience and enjoyed every bite.

Our bill came to $125 before tip which we thought was reasonable and a good value.“

“The food is insanely delicious here. And with beautiful presentation. Service is top notch. Like fold your napkin when you're in the restroom level of service. Plus the servers provide detailed descriptions of the food and drinks when asked. You can tell they've studied the menu more than most. I would give more stars if I could.“

“This place was delicious and the perfect valentines spot! We weren’t feeling either of the dessert items and they found us a different option that was off menu. Such an amazing staff and delicious food. I could eat only their pesto gnocchi for the rest of my life and die happy. Highly recommend!“

“Best Italian food in Canby! Delicious every time.“

“Great food! Our first visit and we were very happy with everything. Enjoyed our waiter’s knowledge of menu items.“

“We had a great evening! Celebrated our adult son’s birthday! Excellent food and a very good and friendly server! Love this place! And our six year old had his front tooth fall out into a plate of pasta! Don’t worry, we found it :) He was so excited!“

“Charming ambiance, phenomenal meal, and excellent service. Thank you Abigail for waiting on us. I regret it's taken us so long to find our way back here. Still as great as it was a few years ago. That's a testament to a great owner and team. We really enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer, creative mocktails, the king salmon and Dungeness crab pasta specials, and the best tiramisu in all of Portland! See you again soon!“

“Always awesome every time“

“Lunch pasta dishes were yummy and generous portions“

“I went here for dinner with my husband. OMG! I loved how spacious and buzzing this place was for dinner service on Saturday night.

The service was amazing! I think her name was Katie(?) but she took such good care of us and even recommended some dishes we should try.

If you're looking for a cozy date night place, you should go here.“

“Excellent pasta, made quickly. Great for a quick lunch or a casual dinner. You're served warm bread with your meal and there are no wrong choices here—I'd recommend the chicken marsala. The folks who work here offer great service and it's got a lovely Italian-American bistro vibe.“

“The server was really great. I didn’t catch his name, but he was super helpful. He told me I could mix Alfredo and pesto sauce and I wish more restaurants would offer that. Especially love their pesto - it’s super garlicky in a great way. Brought my newborn and we sat inside - he quickly took a nap.“

“Staged a good-sized wine dinner in the private room (34 people). Fantastic food & service, even with a full restaurant on a busy Sunday night. Michael and his team do a wonderful job- all the dishes were beautiful, inventive, and delicious. Don't sleep on the "Olive Oil Cake" for dessert- your taste-buds and waistband will thank you.“

“I have been at Riccardo's twice for lunch in the pass month. The food, and service are superb. I wanted to tell Riccardo in person what a wonderful Ristorante that he has, but he had already left. Thank you.“

“I just had a birthday party for 17 friends at this fantastic neighborhood restaurant! It was absolutely incredible! The service was top notch. The food, 7 courses, was amazing! Each served in a timely manner. The cocktails were finely crafted! My friends can’t stop raving about their evening at Allora!!!!“

“Legitimately one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever experienced in the US. I have lived in Italy and my husband is Italian and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our dinner. The wine selection is varied and thoughtfully curated. We enjoyed a bottle of Sardinian Carignano which is a rare find in the states. The prices are more than reasonable. We had a lovely locally sourced steak that melted in the mouth for $32. Bread is homemade fresh TWICE daily and the meat and cheeses were top quality If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC Italian in Portland, look no further. Nero Gallo has it all; great food, prices, staff, atmosphere and we will most definitely be back.“

“Excellent food and service. Flew in from CA for my daughter’s graduation and booked a table for 8.“

“Came in for lunch with a group that really needed service that went a cut above. Our server was Alberto and he was a rock star. The food came out hot and fresh and refills, from soup, salad, bread sticks and water were all attended to. We had a great experience and we will be back.“

“Normally I have a great experience. Except for one waiter one time. Heavier set Caucasian guy. I want to say his name was nate or something.

TIM is always on point. Best waiter ever!!!

This last time we went. We ate all got sick to our stomachs lastnight. My son, missed school today cause of it. We all got massively sick.“

“This is a casual place offering handmade pasta, wine, beer, some cocktails and several non-alcoholic beverages. You order at the register where you walk in and they serve your drinks immediately and bring your food when it's ready. I had the potato gnocchi and loved it! Others had things they enjoyed, but had some critical comments: the spaghetti was a bit underdone, but the meatballs were incredibly delicious; the pizza pockets were just okay. We had a bottle of rose and it was good. The atmosphere is light industrial - booths and high tables that are not very comfortable, but the medium-sized restaurant space is filled with light, wooden tables and chairs, and stainless steel (kitchen visible). You could watch pasta being made and dried on racks, which was kinda fun. I will try it again as 23rd Street is a favorite place to explore, shop and eat!“

“Great place!!! Will definitely be visiting again. The food was amazing and service was great.“

“Good food. Ate chicken piccata if it were only a little larger portion for the price it would be nice. The flavor was excellent!“

“Love this place! Excellent food and great prices — there’s a reason they have been in business here for decades! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Holy 5-alarm fire! I got the Fusiili ala Vodka, which I know is supposed to have some heat, but this one —- it’s like the cap fell off the jar of chili flakes! I still loved it - the pasta was perfectly cooked, the pork shoulder was bursting with great spices, but I was still facially sweating through the whole meal. We got their Caesar salad too, which was excellent, not too much dressing and just the right amount of anchovies. The real deal, and helped cool off my lips.
Grassa has their counter service food model down pat, and the meals come out fairly quick, fresh and hot, so thumbs up there. Service is up and down, depending on how slammed they are, but I give them a pass since they do do aLOT of takeout orders and are not meant to be table service. Love that they have beer, wine and some cocktails too.
This location works well for all the reasons stated above, but we often get our food to go — the ambiance here is not that great. Strip-mall -modern-meets industrial in a cold, cavernous space does not make you want to linger. No thanks.“

“stellar slices, whacky workers and endless hot chili flakes, what more do you even want?? The pizza is great and the people are even better! Conveniently located by the river, high potential for a romantic slice in the park. RUN don’t walk here folks.“

“The only thing my daughter and I don't like is the bread that is served with the pasta, and is also used to make the Panini. The bread is so bad… I don't recommend the Panini.
My favorites are the Carbonara and Gnocchi.“

“So Grassa is... solid. it’s definitely decent for fresh pasta, but didn’t change my life.

The carbonara was good, just super rich. Cool casual vibe if you’re nearby, but I wouldn't wait in a huge line for it tbh. Reliable, just not crazy.“

“Delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff, large selection of wine, beautiful restaurant with low lighting, perfect for a nice little date! Dress up or dress down. Fairly casual but nobody will judge if you come dressed gorgeous.“

“The Mediterranean pizza was delish. It just happened to hit the spot for me. I will definitely go there again and highly recommend it.“

“I had one of the best dishes that I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Upon the waitresses enthusiastic recommendation (she seemed really excited about it) I went with the Boscaiola with pasta instead of ravioli. Every bite I took I closed my eyes to just enjoy the explosion of flavors. Hands down best food ever. Highly recommend but don’t forget your reservation!“

“great food and service. the bolognese was delicious 😋“

“Amazing dinner! Wonderful appetizer and great wait staff!!“

“Tucci has a vast menu with options galore and reasonable prices. The service has always been excellent. They have a policy of no corkage fee so bring a bottle of wine with you! The only downside is the restaurant can be quite noisy, so be aware.“

“First time at Don's, and they managed the impossible: they fed me things I usually hate, and I loved every bite. It's also an absolute gem for romance—perfect for an anniversary or just a top-tier date night. The antipasto was a knockout—Dungeness crab with a hint of heat paired perfectly with a fresh popover. Even the Oyster Casino won me over, and I normally don't touch oysters. They even pulled off a Gorgonzola iceberg salad that I couldn't stop eating. Don has this incredible knack for balancing flavors so perfectly that my "no-go" ingredients became the highlights of the night. A total win for a special night out. I'll definitely be back. Unfortunately no pictures because the food was gone before I remembered to take a picture :).“

“Good food! Prices have gone up though!!“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“Great, friendly service and the food was delicious as always.“

“😀Today a group of nine of us former colleagues had a most pleasant lunch. The wait staff were very well organized and tuned in to our needs, while being in the background in our conversation. I am very impressed and recommend this place, despite their need for a restricted parking lot.“

“Had the sprouts and Rhode Island style calamari. Outstanding.“

“Gusto is this hidden gem in Newberg that I just want to tell everyone about! The staff here are incredibly friendly and the food here is always always *chef's kiss*. All of their food is made in house...breads, pastas, gelato etc - they even have the flours for sale! If you are looking for casual Italian food, this place will not disappoint - every dollar spent here is worth it!

And if you haven't been to their sister restaurant Rosmarino Osteria Italiana, check it out!“

“The staff was great as well as the food . The manager went out of his way to check with every customer to make shure everything was good. we had a great meal and a good vibe“

“Fantastic tasting pizzas. Customer service is top notch. Called ahead for 2 pizzas, 1 with custom veg + sausages combo the other had salami. All came out on time. Highly recommend both. Their dough had so much flavor and airy. Not too heavy! Their sourdough needs a little work, too dense but otherwise the crust is perfection!“

“My husband and I were visiting our son and we stopped by for lunch. It was amazing! I can’t wait to come back! The service was amazing and the food was even better!“

“Excellent food and service in a comfortable environment. Highly recommended!“

“Food is exceptional! The NY Meatball sandwich is my favorite!“

“Went here with a small group of friends over the holidays. The food was really good, lots of veggies dishes. We ordered a variety of dishes & all shared. One dish (risotto) was over salted and we did send it back and they confirmed that it had been over seasoned and removed it from our bill, which we really appreciated. Service was not quite what we hoped for at a fine dining restaurant where we spent $300 but it was fine. Very cool that they play real records. Portions are VERY generous. Loved the Brussels, Jerusalem artichokes, focaccia and other dishes I can’t remember! The tiramisu is pretty good! One of my friends is a huge vegan foodie and Sicilian and did not like the arancini but everyone else raves about it Updated from previous review on 2026-02-14“

“I had the cannoli and manicotti platter delicious“

“Went to Rovente for the first time last night and OH MY GOODNESS WILL WE BE BACK!!! I'm new to the area and an absolute lover of pizza and this is the best I've found. I ordered a cheese pizza and a custom. We tried the cheese first and were so beyond stoked. If the cheese pizza was that good we couldn't wait to try our custom and oh my goodness I wish I had the words to explain how good it is. The crust is more on the thin side which I loved as it was firm with a bit of crunch but also soft and perfectly chewable. Their sauce was phenomenal, we got regular red on the cheese and spicy red on the other and both were amazing. The cheeses and toppings also were fresh and delicious! I think the gal working the counter was named Kat and I think she mentioned she was a manager, I told her it was my first time in and how excited I was to try you guys. She told me about how Rovente's is family owned and how amazing the owners are which are all things I love to hear as a customer. I also really loved her confidence that I was going to love the pizza and boy was she right! I didn't get the other gal workings name but they really did an incredible job and I will absolutely be a return customer!“
