16 Best Italian Restaurants near Tamaqua

“As soon as you walk in, you will feel welcome and relaxed with the beautiful decor of lights and plants. Even smells like Italy just walking in. The Customer Service is very attentive and likes to keep the energy high. Great seating options for small to big crowds. Private room option for wedding receptions, graduations, etc, and a Selfie Wall for pics. They make their own bread , and I was told "You have to get the Cheesesteak Special!" It was delish! I'm used to most restaurants using Amaroso Rolls, and their bread did not disappoint. It was filling! Great amount of sauce and ingredients. Almost needed a nap after eating it. Food coma. Others in our party had chicken wings, Cesar salad, clams, pizza, and more. Our group of 16 loved their meals and drinks. Highly recommended for any size party to have a great meal and great time.

“By far, the best quality of pizza I’ve had. The pizza with extra cheese has literally 0 grease coating the box or crust. The cheese tastes so fresh and the dough and homemade sauce is perfection. If you haven’t had this gentleman’s pizza, order a large with xtra cheese. My family’s go to for pizza.“

“The food is good. Staff friendly. Clean facilities. Ample parking. They have beer and wine. Its reasonably priced. We enjoyed canollis to take home after dining in. My grandson who is a picky eater ate his ravioli and garlic knots. They serve guers products too. All in all its fine for family dinners. Take out or delivery.Parking: Adequate parking in well lit lot.Kid-friendliness: My grandson enjoys it.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible and handicap parking available.“

“I love LA Dolce bakery & D'maggio's restaurant. We go often eat in & take out weekly. The food & service are excellent! Staff are always very friendly & accommodating. We are always treated like family @ Dimaggio's. You must go & enjoy the lovely environment. You will be very happy you did! ???“

“Tommy's in Tamaqua does serve some of the Freshest and Delicious Subs/Hoagies in the area. Personally, my go to Hoagies are their Regular & Tuna Fish. Their Cheesesteaks are also Delicious . Their secret, in my opinion, is in the Homemade Hoagie Rolls which are made Fresh Daily.The service is wonderful, Jen, Sam, Sharon, Tina and several other crew members go to great lengths to cook and provide the best quality food and service to their customers!!!Two specials are always a crowd pleaser. Tuesdays it's buy 1 Hoagie at Regular price get another for half price. Fridays special is a Baked Haddock Platter w/ mac-n- cheese & stewed tomatoes! There are many more delicious Hoagies , Platters and Appetizers to choose from.If your passing through the area and decide to stop in on the fly, allow for some extra time due to large customer volumes at times.Payments can be made by CASH or CHECK only.“

“Good food. They charge a 3% credit card fee, but essentially give it back the next time you use the same card. They claim this is because on increased fees, but why give it back next time?Parking: If they have a banquet going on, parking can get difficult.“

“We had the opportunity to dine at this wonderful establishment last night with friends . The staff were very friendly and our server was fantastic and assured us that our gluten free food is handled and prepared with much care . My wife and I have gluten allergies and our food was fantastic! Everything was on point and we cannot wait to come back here again !Dietary restrictions: As a gluten free vegetarian, it can be difficult to find good food that is safe to eat and not a salad . I had a gluten free pasta primavera and it was hands down some of the best I’ve ever had !! I look forward to seeing even more options in the the future!“

“Great little place. Clean and neat. Cheesesteak and stromboli were spot on. Outside of the stromboli was nice and crispy. Owner was very friendly and personable. As a former 4-H kid myself, it made me smile to see that he supports ag kids by purchasing their lamb/beef/pork that that they work so hard on. Pictures all over they walls with these proud kiddos Will definitely frequent this place.“

“Love this restaurant... Been going there since I was a kid... Moved away for about 10 years and every store/restaurant in town including The movie theater that was remodeled when I was growing up has been closed when I returned except Tommy's and I am so grateful for that. This place is just like I remembered. They have the best bread and Italian dressing ever I highly suggest going here if you have not and if you have then just keep on coming and bring along some friends... Everyone should support their local restaurant to keep it alive. They are like a dying breed nowadays and need our help.. amazing owners that only higher amazing staff to go with... Thanks Tommy's and happy 40th anniversary! Hope you never change...Kid-friendliness: Amazing people that only dish out amazing quality.. not only kid friendly... Friendly to The community in general“

“The best. The only downer is u don't get free refills on ur drinks. But the eggplant parm. Completely ruined olive garden for me. And their vodka sauce, 10's across the board. The Stromboli is packed w whatever u get. It's not mostly dough like other places. Once u go there u won't want to go anywhere else.“

“I had Valenti's a few times before. I have never tried anything other than the pizza. The pizza is really good.Perogie pizza was amazing. I also had a "Thanksgiving slice" with turkey, cranberry using gravy instead of pizza sauce. Very good“

“We stopped by on a whim on a Saturday evening to compare them to our current favorite pizza shop in the area. We've driven by several times and seen it lively and the bar area full. It was absolutely dead in there. Lights were totally off in the front and back bar and eating area. We thought they were closed until we saw light and movement in the take out area. It was freezing inside, the drink coolers were empty and dirty and the decor was outdated and dusty. The menu was pretty standard pizza shop fare. However everything we ordered was excellent. We got a Sicilian pizza, a calzone, and a sandwich. The portions were large, toppings were fresh, and the cheese was stretchy and delicious like you see on a cartoon. The man (probably Romano since he's featured in all the photographs on the wall) and the woman were both very friendly and welcoming. I don't think I'd want to dine in there, but we'll definitely be repeat take out customers.“

“The building has been there for many years but these new owners take food seriously! They are always rushing behind the counter but the food is SO worth it. It has its busy times which is to be expected. If you are in the area I would 110% recommend trying somethingParking: So, this is no fault of the eatery as they do not own the parking lot BUT it is very pot hole filled. There are barely visible lines, and it's not the best to drive intoWheelchair accessibility: There are 0 stairs and the doorway is unobstructed“

“I ordered the special, penne with clams and calamari. It was delish. The sauce..OMG and the size. I ate it 2 more nights. It came with a huge bowl of soup, I chose Minestrone, which I brought part of it home. My friend got the enormous salad and chicken marsala which came with 3 large pieces of chicken over pasta. She ate one and got a doggy bag, too. The food came out steaming hot. Can't wait to go back again. Our waitress, Joyce, was fabulous as always. Bravo??Parking: On the street right in front of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a convenient ramp which I used.“

“First time ordering here. The pizza was good, they don't skimp on sauce and it was baked perfectly. The steak sandwich was great. The seasoned beef is a flavor I never tasted before, what a pleasant surprise for the tastebuds. Best steak sandwich I ever had, and that is saying something as I'm 45. Will be a customer for life as long as they don't change their recipes!“

“the place is great just make sure it's in your budgetKid-friendliness: they don't tell you to leave if you're kid is being loud, they have a kids menu with in the menu kids prices are lowerWheelchair accessibility: no stairs“
