50 Best Italian Restaurants near Leacock Leola Bareville

“What a hidden gem! This little Italian spot completely blew me away. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff treat you like family from the second you walk in.

The food is fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The fried calamari was light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned (not greasy at all). The shrimp Alfredo was rich and creamy, with tender shrimp and pasta that tasted homemade. The pizza had that perfect crispy crust, and the garlic bread was the best one I have ever tried!

It’s not a huge place, but that’s what makes it so special. You feel like you’ve stumbled into a true neighborhood treasure. If you’re craving authentic Italian comfort food in a relaxed, friendly setting, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Dinner and a show. Everything on the menu is absolutely amazing. “The Show” happens when you sit at Chef’s table and watch them team create one masterpiece after another. I watched them train a new employee to do the same! Pinch and pull the dough- enough sauce, but not too much. Carefully and skillfully place all ingredients! final inspection before the fire and then another after. Watch for this and that before you serve. Pizza will. ever to the same for me.“

“Brad the bartender and Andy the manager are super personable and friendly! Always enjoy meeting friends there for happy hour.“

“The food at this location is consistently on point. Well crafted sandwiches that leave you satisfied and wanting more. I had the Tuna and cheese hoagie tonight, but the inspiration for this review was tasting my son’s Chipotle Chicken Cheesesteak. It was so good.“

“I spent 3 days in Lancaster n I went on one bite pizza appt for best pizza in lancaster n out of the top 100 places only 4 places impressed me n Pizza City was one of them n not far from the motel where I was staying at so, it was a no Brainer. I have tried ALOT of pizza in my life n I do reviews. I was really impressed on how good this was a true NY style pizza. Thin crust, well cooked undercarriage, good amount of tasty sauce with just enough cheese with zero grease. Highly recommend it here n just wished it was closer. Also, prices extremely reasonable to where I live.“

“Outstanding meal and service! We love the seasonal menus. The Chef is phenomenal! This place never disappoints! Hidden gem!“

“I absolutely loved the food. My boyfriend and I were very satisfied.“

“After finding out Pie in the Sky offered thick square Sicilian pizza I figured I'd pick one up for NFL Sunday. Unfortunately the person answering the phone misheard me and I had a traditional round pie waiting when I got there. I politely explained this to the manager, he threw a square Sicilian in the oven right away. No biggie I thought, I've worked in busy pizza joints in the past, these things happen. Much to my surprise he threw in the traditional round pie for free, even after I offered to pay for it. A+ service, this place went above and beyond fixing an honest mistake.

So how was the pizza? I now had a sampler of round traditional cheese, square Sicilian cheese and an order of garlic knots to dig into. It's excellent, the sauce has a nice flavor and the mozzarella tastes freshly grated and there's a healthy amount of seasoning on top as well. The crust of the Sicilian is perfect, substantial but not too thick as to be overly filling. The round pie had a nice greasy flavor, almost boardwalk style. The garlic knots have a flawless fluffy texture and just the right amount of garlic.

So if you're in the eastern Lancaster or Lampeter area definitely give Pie in the Sky a call, especially if you want a Sicilian style pizza, far as I know they're the only place in the area with it. Great service and awesome pizza!“

“I ordered for pick up, the mixed cheese sub, with a light amount of cheese, and my order taker, a very nice sweet lady, said she’d go to the kitchen and make sure they put on only the three pieces of cheese I requested! I’ve ordered many times, and she’s always been so friendly and kind.“

“Cute little place! Great atmosphere“

“We just celebrated our 57th anniversary at Ciro’s. We knew we would get delicious food and excellent service. And we did! Plus, our favorite gelato, Mama Mia.“

“My favorite Sicilian Pizza!“

“We found our way while riding our motorcycle, glad we did great food.“

“Our server, Rebecca, is excellent. She pays attention to our order and makes sure it is done as requested. The food is very tasty and the restaurant is very nice“

“Many times when we travel we choose chain restaurants as we know the quality of the food will be good and the service generally good as well. The Olive Garden stood out because of the staff. The gentleman who seated us was so friendly and nice I wish i had made note of his name. He did introduce himself, but I did not write down his name, and I can't remember it. Our server, Carly, was very friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable, checked on our progress without being intrusive and made great suggestions that made our dining experience really great.“

“Usually very good but totally screwed up my order last night and this morning the guy on the phone told me "maybe" they could give me 10% off my next pizza. Threw it out, total waste of money. �“

“I have eaten here many of times. The food is always so good. I got two pizza's last night and it was really hard to eat because it had a burnt taste to it. I had gotten two pizza's and they both tasted the same. A little disappointing being I have always had great pizza from here. The burnt taste for me was so bad. Felt like I wasted $40 on pizza. I still give 4 stars because of past experiences.“

“I was in town for an event / work and needed to grab a quick bite. walked into sal's ! the guy behind the counter took my order. I sat in the clean dining room. pizza was awesome! hot and fresh ! it hit the spot ! thank you sal's for the great lunch i will be sure to revisit when I am in the area again 😀“

“Had two sandwiches, the Reuben and a chicken salad on cranberry walnut bread. Delish. Other restaurants could take lessons from them on how to make a Reuben. Where they fell short was with the overpriced drinks, Autumn rum runner and a martini. The martini came with a 2" square ice cube and not much drink. They need to take lessons from Penn's Tavern Restaurant on how to make a rum runner. No one has beat theirs yet.“

“Absolutely the best subs snd pizza for 30+years!“

“I just love this place for any italian food. Been going there a long time. I live close by. The food is always good and the staff is always so nice. Thanks Frank and the staff.“

“We went to Val’NTino’s for Valentine’s Day dinner with the family. Above and beyond our expectations!! Every dish was delicious - we had shrimp scampi, shrimp fra diavolo, fettuccine Alfredo, and margherita pizza. Our server Val was amazing as well. The place was packed and she kept on top of everything with a smile. We will definitely be back! Excellent food and service.“

“The food was heavenly. But you order and pay at the counter, and they also really need to clean and maintenance the drinks machine which is a little concerning. This is not a very nice to place to eat inside -- I recommend takeout or delivery. Excellent food though. Will probably order again.“

“This was our first time at Zias. The food was very good ( shrimp scampi & shrimp w/ scallops and asparagus tips). Our waitress, Sam, and the manager, Kimberly made us welcome. The drinks (espresso martinis) and dessert (Tirimisu) were very good. Cozy atmosphere! Overall, very good experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“It was delicious and the garlic knots oh my goodness“

“LOVE Picasso's! Feel lucky to have found this place. EVERTHING IS GREAT!!!! Pricey but well worth it! Thanks to ALL of you that delivery with a smile!“

“Friendly staff. Also if at all possible the owner will do special requests, I ordered a chicken cheese steak with broccoli and it was delicious.“

“the food portion the waitress was nice and friendly“

“Pizza and pasta dinners are the best around!!!!!! Owners are awesome too!!!!“

“It's been a while since I been here and it didn't disappoint either. I ordered the Special CheeseSteak and wow, Grand slam again!!! As I said before, Best outside of Philadelphia. Our waitress was the best too, Jordan, she had a great personality and was a real gem. Great job in the kitchen. Next time is pizza“

“I have never been a fan of the Olive Garden, but friends who were visiting wanted to go there to eat dinner. I was pleasantly surprised!! We visited the Lancaster Olive Garden near the Park City Mall. Our server, Mallory, couldn't have been more attentive. The people we dined with were very demanding but Mallory took it all in stride and accommodated all of their requests. She also made the best salad I've ever had at Olive Garden - yes, your server prepares the salads. Our food was delicious, fresh and served hot. Tonight's experience has really changed my mind about Olive Garden and I will definitely return!!“

“Just had a cheese steak and his and had a cheeseburger sub. The cheese steak was amazing and hubs like the sub. Definitely recommend them for their sandwiches. The home made rolls are very soft!!“

“Love 💕 your food! Vince and all the employees are so kind and helpful!“

“I ordered a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and it was just average—nothing too special. It could have used more cheese, as it felt a bit dry; these sandwiches typically have a lot of cheese. On a positive note, the French fries were good, and the service was swift.“

“Wonderful experience friendly staff“

“Love the food and the service. The mini Hawaiian boli, AWESOME.“

“my family and I love coming here. good people! Great pizza!! we always leave happy!!“
