34 Best Italian Restaurants near Crabtree

“Family always enjoys it. Love the bread“

“Best pizza I've ever had. Fabulous crust and sauce. It's an hour away for me but I'll be going back often. It's that good!!!!!“

“This restaurant is absolutely delectable. From the moment you walk in, you can tell everything is made from scratch with real care and craftsmanship. The attention to detail is off the charts—nothing goes unnoticed. The hand-cut French fries? Unreal. Salads are clearly prepped to order, and the freshness comes through in every bite. You can just tell quality is their top priority, both in flavor and presentation.

I ordered the pesto and mozzarella burger (which, sadly, I devoured too quickly to grab a photo), and it was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and paired with those amazing fries—just wow.

The atmosphere is surprisingly high-end, with linen napkins and a classy yet warm and welcoming vibe. Service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.

One of the most impressive things is the rotating menu. It’s clear the chef puts genuine care into crafting a diverse and thoughtful selection. You don’t just eat here—you experience it.

I’ve already pinned this place on my map because I will be back. If you're looking for top-tier food in a setting that feels both upscale and inviting, don’t sleep on this place.“

“Great food, traditional western PA Italian fare, like grandma used to make! We love the chicken parm.
Right now, I'm eating their $12 chicken parm special, and it tastes great, and it so big I'm splitting it with my wife. It comes with a salad and a piece of cake for dessert“

“This was our first time at Olives and Peppers. We had an awesome server, Jennifer F. The food was excellent as well as the service. The meals could not have been any better and the servings were huge. Loved everything about it. We will definitely be back.“

“This is a true hidden gem! Awesome food and fantastic staff!“

“My favorite pasta sauce. Everyone should come here!“

“Had my wedding here this past weekend and we received so many compliments on the atmosphere and food! I can't even begin to explain how amazing Mike and the staff were at the venue! Mike was so attentive, answered every crazy question I had the past year and made sure our day was perfect. The staff were so kind and hard working. Our wedding Turned out amazing thanks to disalvos!!!“

“I have been going there for 30 plus years & most recently today for lunch. The food was a bit above average & the service in the bar area with Zackie was much less than to be expected for a restaurant of this caliber. Not sure if she hasn't been trained properly or just not cut out to be a server. As anyone that is a "Foodie" would know, great service can compensate for many short comings. I will go back for one more experience due to the fact maybe it was just a off day. Regards Michael“

“⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Incredible Food from LaVita’s for Our Backyard Bridal Shower We ordered food from La Vita’s Restaurant for my daughter’s bridal shower, which we hosted in our backyard, and it was absolutely perfect. The chicken piccata was amazing—so tender and flavorful. The pasta and meatballs were also a huge hit with our guests. Everything was prepared beautifully and arrived fresh and hot, making hosting so much easier. La Vita’s truly helped elevate the whole event with their delicious food. Highly recommend them for any catered occasion, or dining in —you won’t be disappointed!“

“My son and I stopped for a light meal after a long day of traveling. Food was great and quick. Want to shout out to our server, Susan, who was super attentive and helpful choosing our food.“

“food was great!! waitress was wonderful!!!“

“We enjoyed the mason jar appetizer (very unique), ramen bowl and macaroni and cheese. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant. Large menu with quite a lot to choose from. Can’t wait to return to try other items. Highly recommendable!“

“Buck, the owner is extremely personable. It is a great, laid back experience. The current kitchen puts out very tasty food. Another awesome aspect is going in on a morning or evening when Jess M. is bartending. She is extremely proficient. When she is getting to know you, she will immediately remember your drink of choice and have it on the bar soon after you walk in and before you get to a seat. Boy to have a memory like that. By the way she will remember your name too. Not many ordinary people can give themselves credit for that. It is obvious she respects and likes the customers and regulars. Great customer service. You won't ever feel forgotten. You are in good hands when you go in on her shift. Highly recommend.“

“My husband and I was very pleased the hostess and waitress was very friendly, service was excellent and the food was delicious! Highly recommend!“

“The Italian food was very good. I had the squash ravioli with brown butter sauce, and the flavor was unique to me. My boyfriend enjoyed the grilled chicken Parmesan over pasta. The entrees and soup needed more seasoning. The atmosphere is cheerful with glass chandeliers and flowers. It’s a great place to eat when departing or returning from Myrtle Beach. Parking is still free and the restaurant is ADA ACCESSIBLE“

“I have never had a pizza this good it was delicious it was my first pizza and absolutely not my last service was great as well trinitys enthusiasm was amazing added to my experience“

“We grabbed some pizza today for our staff…they pretty much licked the boxes clean! It’s definitely the best pizza in the area!!!“

“Brought my niece here and the staff and general manager made her feel so special. Worth coming here just for the incredible customer service!!“

“ordered a meatball pizza on the thick crust and don't burn the cheese. I got a medium traditional crust. the meatball looked like flat sausage and the cheese was slightly burnt or browned. the tomato sauce was the best part, fresh and tangy. give thos place about an 80 out of 100“

“My little is absolutely OBSESSED with your pasta! There’s no better day than when she gets to eat her butter bread and sketti. You can’t go wrong no matter what you order.“

“Super nice people and great pizza! Their white pizza is excellent.

Their website is tough to navigate, that’s the only thing they could improve. When you go to the website it says “See Our Menu” and nothing comes up. Posting a copy of their menu with this review because they are definitely worth a try!“

“The portions are huge and reasonably priced. Our server Becky was very knowledgeable and pleasant. You have to try the fish sandwich, ordered for takeout and made 2 meals of it! Have visited many times and definitely have never left there hungry.“

“We just had my daughter’s wedding shower here and everything was absolutely perfect from the room and table set up, the food, the mimosa bar and the friendly staff. The guests had a choice of stuffed ricotta shells with meatballs or chicken parmesan and both dishes were delicious! Claps to the chef. They also offer gluten free, vegan and child meals. The venue is reasonably priced, spacious, clean and in a convenient location with plenty of parking. A big thank you to the owners and staff for their hard work and assistance in making my daughter’s wedding shower a very special and elegant event.“

“Best wings & pizza in the area! The pizza is always consistent & cooked perfectly every time and the owner and staff are always tentative and friendly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We love this place! Highly recommend to everyone to come and checkout!“

“Biscotti Brothers make delicious biscotti. I thought I would be able to go straight to the bakery to buy various flavors of multiple biscotti. It's impossible to find all the various flavors they make at different grocery stores. My new favorite is pumpkin pecan biscottini. However, I discovered the bakery in Greensburg, does not sell to the general public unless you order them online and have them shipped. Which can get alittle expensive. Delallo's in Jeanette sells Biscotti Brothers products under the Delallo brand name, however, they have only a fraction of the flavors available.“

“What should have been a great family experience turned out to be a headache-- not a regular headache, but more like a migraine. There were so many issues that I'm not sure where to begin-- the online menu is not the menu presented to us, the waitress had to get simple answers from others (which shows the lack of training). When the waitress asked who ordered the 1 meal, we told her that 2 people ordered that item. About 10 mins later, we questioned when that item would be out and realized that she never put it through, so 1 family member had table scraps for a meal. The seats are ok for comfortability, which is good because we had waited approximately 90+ mins to receive our food. Pizzas were flying out the door, while my young children waited the 90+ mins for their's to land on our table. We waited for our bills-- then waited again because the waitress had to be reminded to take money off the appetizers due to happy hour. Then waited awhile for our bank card... and again to get pens. If you have 2- 3 hours to spare, then this place is a gem, but you're better off going to see a movie then getting dinner elsewhere since it would take the same amount of time 🤷‍♀️“

“Cut from a freshly made dough, hand thrown to perfection and tossed with just the proper amount of toppings to create the Biggest Slice In Town. A pie definitely worth a second visit, perfect for a family meal, a gathering of friends or just a fresh slice of pie to enjoy and wind down with after a long day at the office.“

“I consider Pizza Sienna to be very good-better than any national chain pizza shop. I am a fan of simple pizza, but the Sienna Pie is my favorite! It is loaded with just the right toppings. Pizzas have a nice crust, ample cheese, sauce, and toppings, and a good blend of flavors!“

“Our experience wasn't with the restaurant itself, as we didn't actually eat there. But we were lost on the way to a burial service, when we stopped in for directions. Both the ladies working there were so kind, and they helped us get where we needed to be on time! We just wanted to say thank you. ☺️“

“Steelers training camp diner was great! Our service from the beginning was prompt and our waitress was attentive the entire time.

Ordered the mozzarella sticks and zucchini planks with sauce and Pepperoni pizza. Everything were hot n fresh! Love you sweet sauce…it’s a change of pace from traditional pizza. Must try!“

“the pizza is the best I totally recommend it“

“We got a large spinach and feta pizza and a large 5 cheese pizza. Both pizzas were good. I liked the spinach and feta better, it had more flavor. I feel like I could only taste 2-3 of the cheese on the 5 cheese. The crust was a bit flimsy but they have the option to cook longer if you prefer so next time I'll likely do that. Delivery was a power good price.“
