48 Best Italian Restaurants near Indianola

“Our food was excellent. The three of us got the exact same thing. Prime Rib. The wedding soup was great, the prime rib was cooked perfectly, the service was very good, and the bread was so good. I have lived in the area my entire life and finally gave it a try. It exceeded my expectations by far. We will be back.“

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? Add to that their amazing sardines so fresh and good. Pasta Funghi another high. Exquisite detail to taste in every dish. The owners go way out of their way to make you feel welcomed and happy and very satisfied. A must visit when you are lucky enough to get a reservation though other friends have happily sat at the bar for dinner just to be there!! Kudos to Dish!“

“First time dining at Senti. Not a big menu to choose from, but what you do get is quality. The apps were very good to start the evening and the dinners were excellent. Nice portions and very tasty. Drinks are very good and paired nicely with dinner. We will definitely be back.“

“This location was recommended for a medical school reunion in Pittsburgh by our alumni association. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We did the family style dining for a large group, and it was very well received. One of my Italian classmates sate the the Cacio e Pepe was the best that he had tasted outside of Milan. I would strongly recommend this location for really first rate Italian food and a great atmosphere“

“Bar Marco did an amazing job for our wedding. The food is so good that all of our vendors were thrilled when we told them the venue, and our guests similarly raved. The staff took the time to know our order of events and requests and accommodated accordingly. Highly recommend.“

“My son and I had dinner for Mother’s Day. Our first experience at this restaurant. Aside from a small miscommunication where the side dishes were delivered to the table alongside the apps, everything was very good. They corrected the sides and delivered fresh with the entrees, the sides were easily large enough to share amongst three or four people and the food was very good. The app, sides and entrees, as well as the gluten free chocolate cake were all delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to return.“

“Excellent food and service at Fox Chapel location . My first time here busy Saturday crowd Gabby was a wonderful bar server actually excellent. I had Bruschetta salad which I highly recommend Over any other“

“We have been going to Piccolo Forno for years. It is my favorite restaurant. The staff is outstanding. The food is creative and menu items are changed regularly to make use of seasonal ingredients. There are so many delicious choices on the menu that it is difficult to decide what to order. The food is reasonably priced and the corkage fee is less than most restaurants. This restaurant is a gem for anyone who loves delicious Italian food!“

“We (PTO) used Sprezzatura to cater our meal for teachers before our schools Open House, and everything was wonderful! Menu selections included: • Gemelli with Homemade Meat Sauce – twisted pasta served with a rich, slow-simmered sauce • Cavatappi with Creamy Pesto – corkscrew pasta tossed in a vibrant basil pesto sauce The food servings were plentiful, the aroma was inviting, and the dishes were bright, fresh, and full of flavor. You could truly taste the quality of the ingredients. Jen was excellent with communication throughout the process, making everything smooth and easy. We would definitely recommend Sprezzatura for your catering needs!“

“The food here is TO DIE FOR!!! And the service is awesome“

“I have coming to this great Pizza and Italian restaurant since it was on Saltsburg rd. one thing I can say over the years is the Consistency has stayed the same, The food is excellent. If you want a good Italian meal its the place to go? Or on the go.“

“My husband and I have been going to the Village Inn for many years now. Everything we have eaten there has been so delicious from sandwiches to great Italian Food . My favorite is the stuffed crabmeat mushroom appetizer, bruschetta and Chicken Romano. The meatballs and pasta are so good. My favorite dessert is the Tiramisu. I highly recommend the Verona Village Inn.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The entrees are creative plays on classic Italian dishes, the sides are well executed and the appetizers are incredible. The most dangerous thing is the buckwheat focaccia. It's fluffy, soft and flavorful, and the variety of dipping options are mouthwatering individually. I love the vibe of the restaurant. It's hip without feeling forced, the staff is friendly and they play cool music. It's a great date night spot. Major drawback is the parking. It's on-street, and a crapshoot at best to find a spot near the door. But don't let that stop you from checking this place out. It's worth the trip. Pricing is in-line with most upscale dining in the city but not at the extreme upper end.“

“It's like being at your favorite dinner table with family and friends! With our beautiful Italian family gathering around the bar area in numbers of about 15 Friday night, we had a blast! Yes, Joe is our cousin and that is definitely warm and wonderful but Louise, Joe's matriarch, was there too which made it extra special. Lulu, chef, Delaney, "Ms. Brown", Linda and all staff were amazing and fun. So the food, sauteed arthichoke hearts, pasta fagioli, wedding soup, Chicken Romano, Veal Romano, beverage list unsurpassed and our usual standards and oh the red velvet cheesecake was picture and taste perfect. All food made to order fresh and it definitely shows the attention to every morsel we enjoyed. Oh, the bread is made locally and it's the best. We were almost the last to leave and we have all the photos to show our fun time. Can't wait to go back for their Sunday sauce. Salute and see you soon. Thank you for your "cordial" cordial to cap off the night. Highly recommend. There is nothing better than a cozy Italian restaurant that is one of a kind. Spring is here and the bocce court will be ready!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ladles is a great spot in Springdale! The home-style cooking tastes just like a comforting meal at home, and the portions are generous. The staff couldn’t be friendlier—welcoming from the moment you walk in. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!“

“Excellent food, wonderful people and great value! Quaint litte GEM! We tried Pizza, Pasta, Chicken parmesan, Alfredo Carbonara, Italian Platter (lasagna, stuffed shells, manicotti, ravioli, all covered in sauce and cheese), garlic knots, and mozzarella sticks, salad and warm buttered rolls. Everything was delicious with large portions. We drove an hour away from home and it was well worth the trip. We were graciously taken care of with amazing customer service! We look forward to going back and trying more items from their extensive menu!!! Everything was fantastic!!!“

“I came here with my dad and got the chicken piccata, which was delicious! It was served with assorted vegetables which I actually liked versus the pasta. We will be back!“

“The monster slice of pizza was recommended by a fellow tiktok-er, My family decided to stop and try it out. Everyone approved and it was delicious. Tons of cheese and pepperoni! Thank you for the amazing service!“

“Delicious mezza rigatoni in Neopolitan meat sauce“

“Every ravioli is amazing - better than I’ve ever had anywhere! Avi is also a really great person. Highly recommend!“

“We have gone twice nice- Sooooo Good. The owners are the ones cooking! Joe is a master of the pizza oven. The toppings are perfectly mixed and heated to melt together and the flat bread crust technique should be studied by children!!! It’s BYOB which makes it a reasonable high-end dinner with a clean atmosphere and friendly staff. I cannot recommend it enough!!!“

“Great food! Never walk out disappointed.“

“My lady is taking time for her. Please stop in before it’s too late. Love her and the food she makes and bakes. Found this place living at children’s hospital, everyday I just wanted to leave and go here. Never knew what the menu would be like you would just have to go and see for yourself. Something new always. My husband swears they have the best wedding soup hands down. Im completely obsessed with the carrot cake and I will never be able to go or get it anywhere else. Best carrot cake ever! The staff and owner are super friendly and very easy to talk to. Need a laugh they chuckle and make the day a little brighter. I wish this place was a little closer to home we have Maria’s dinner every other night. We will definitely be back and can’t thank you all enough for everything the last few weeks. Sam & Day.“

“IWasn't overly l impressed. Ate lunch here today after my mom's sigleftnificant other (Joe) passed away. I have to say I was pretty hungry by the time we the cemetery, and I was almost excited to see Chicken Romano on the buffet. It wasn't terrible, but the chicken tasted like very low quality meat. I was not the only one tobacco that“

“Outstanding Management, Service, and Food

Tyler, the manager at Olive Garden Pittsburgh Mills in Tarentum, PA, is doing an excellent job. His leadership is clearly reflected in the high level of service and professionalism throughout the restaurant. The food is exceptional—consistently delicious, well-prepared, and satisfying. From start to finish, everything about the experience reflects quality and care. Highly commendable.“
