50 Best Italian Restaurants near Nazareth

“My wife & I dined here a couple weeks back. We pulled up to a surprisingly empty dining room. We orders some Mozerella sticks and shared a pepperoni pizza.

The place was clean, there’s tons of dining space, the service was excellent, and the pizza was delicious! The crust was exactly how I liked it. Slightly crispy on the outside, nice and doughy on the inside. Perfect amount of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni!

We’ll be back to this place soon, it might’ve just become our new go to pizzeria when we’re in the area!“

“Best Sicilian pizza!!“

“Had a pepperoni pizza delivered it was excellent and still hot.“

“I haven't been here in a few years and we decided to give it a try after so long. Ordered 2 large cheese pizzas (well done), it wasn't NO big deal, the pizza was good. Also, ordered garlic bread with CHEESE (something I was looking forward to) and was EXTREMELY disappointed. The bread was soft folded together.. where's the cheese dude!?“

“I was talking to a friend of mine that must eat gluten free foods. She recommended this restaurant to me because I have another friend who can only eat gluten free. Yesterday we went to try it out! Fantastic!. My friend could not believe that wide variety of foods available. She even bought extra to take home. It was nice to see her so happy. I had "normal" Veal Parm sandwich and sweet potato fries. Excellent! It has now become our favorite!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Orchid Steakhouse in Bethlehem, PA. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt high end. The star of the evening, however, was our server Tony—friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. He struck the perfect balance of professionalism and approachability, making our dinner feel relaxed and enjoyable. As for the food: absolutely delicious. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. The steaks were perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned just right. The sides and appetizers were equally impressive—fresh, well-portioned, and beautifully presented.“

“Absolutely fabulous restaurant that surprised my tastebuds dish after dish! iIt was worth the 2 hour drive to try this and exceeded my expectations. The staff was well versed on each plate served. I highly recommend you try this great gem ! I can't wait to return!“

“I ordered the heart pizza special with garlic parm and hot n honey wings and WOW! Food was amazingly delicious. It was my first time ordering from here and my family and I will be back again.

“LOVE this amazing family market/deli/restaurant!! Their food is the freshest you will ever find! Delicious genuine imported food products. Incredible home made foods, already prepared or to go. Friendly staff at both locations!! The ONLY thing I'd like to see added is the ability to order & pay on line.“

“LoRusso’s is not only my favorite restaurant, they also are so amazing at hosting for large groups/events. We had my graduation dinner there and the staff was incredible, the food was amazing, and the private dining room was so nice to have. Alessandra and the staff truly take care of everyone like they’re family.“

“We found this restaurant online and we were coming to Bethlehem from Wayne, NJ. We made a reservation for 4 on Sunday at 3pm and arrived on time! We were met by our server Maddy and seated at a large table. The food and service were outstanding. We come from an area filled with Italian restaurants and we were so pleased that we wouldn't hesitate at all to drive back just to eat there again! The portions were large, came out exactly as we ordered them. The prices were excellent also. If you want a great Italian dinner or pizza, I highly recommend this place!“

“I appreciated the friendliness from the wait staff. The food was of good quality and quantity for a reasonable price. I had the steak calzone with onions and recommend ordering it, however the personal pan size portion was so large that I only ate half and took the other half to go. Yesterday (March 25, 2023) was the first time I ever ate there.“

“The food was fabulous! Eggplant rollitini was so creamy & smooth😋 cannot wait to come back! Basil cuke martini 🧡“

“I just happened to drive by the restaurant during dinner hour and noticed that the parking lot was filled, as compared to years ago. As a result, my interest was peeked and decided to Google them. Studied the online menu and decided to give them a try. Turns out we have a little Italian gem here in the Lehigh Valley. We have eaten at this warm, cozy restaurant three times in the last month. All three times the food was fresh and fabulous. The two front rooms are used for large group parties that I must keep in mind for in the future. The side rooms are cozy and rustic. Pasta and sauces are made fresh daily. Give a try - you will be impressed.“

“Excellent food and customer service. Our waitress was great. Very nice environment. Large servings. I think the sauces are homemade as they taste fresh. Has some of the best clans casino I ever tried. I got to the chicken fettuccine Alfredo for my meal. Went there with my family NY Eve. Highly recommend. Prices are fair for the area.“

“I’m making it my weekly duty to come in and order anything on your menu. I’ve been so impressed the last few times I’ve gone in. The penne vodka pizza is a MUST“

“The best gluten free pizza I've ever had!! 👍🍕❤ Omg! SO SO good!!“

“Great food! Friendly and awesome service. Loved it!“

“I have been ordering from Ray's for over twenty years, from way back when they were located on Pennsylvania Ave. The service is always great and the order is always ready on time. Some of my favorites over the years are the cheessteak stromboli, sausage rolls, steak sandwiches and of course the famous pizza! The food is always tasty and freshly made! I plan on ordering from Ray's for many years to come!“

“Feasta Pizza absolutely nailed it with their penne alla vodka with chicken special this is one of those meals you keep thinking about long after you’re done. The sauce was rich, creamy, and packed with bold flavor, coating every piece of pasta perfectly. The chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and generously portioned, making the whole dish feel like a true value not just a special.

And the portion size? Seriously impressive. You’re not leaving hungry, and you might even be lucky enough to have leftovers.

The side of bruschetta was the perfect complement fresh, vibrant, and loaded with flavor. The tomatoes were bright and well-seasoned, sitting on perfectly toasted bread with just the right crunch.

Between the quality, flavor, and portion size, Feasta Pizza knocked it out of the park. If this special is on the menu, it’s an absolute must-order.“

“nice corner restaurant. tried the Grandma Pizza, excellent. Fresh dough and sauce. also tried the spaghetti with meatsauce, outstanding fresh taste. Highly recommend this place.“

“2/26/2025. We ordered two pizzas to be delivered. One was plain cheese….second one was a meatball pepperoni combo. Our order arrived very quickly. Pizzas were hot and ready to eat. We loved the quality ingredients. The crust and sauce set the stage for a very tasty bite. Crust was baked perfectly. It had great texture, flavor and the right chew factor. The delivery person was wonderful too. Bellas has been and will continue to be our go to for incredible pizza.“

“Excellent food and drinks we will be back“

“Absolutely the best, most authentic Italian cuisine you’ll find this side of the Atlantic. My wife & I had a fabulous time for my birthday a few years ago & we felt like royalty after our tour & several courses we asked them to wheel us to our carriage because we had trouble walking.“

“We LOVE Villa Grande - so much we order almost every week! Our food comes super quick and they always accommodate our special requests (soft crust for my kiddos).

“We are there this evening (10/12), and I was very impressed with the friendliness and kindness of the the three employees working, particularly the young man working the register. Not only were our interactions with them pleasant, but I noticed how personable and kind they were with everyone who walked in. I don't often leave reviews, but felt compelled to today. Our hoagies were good also. 🙂“

“We just celebrated a 96th birthday last night at Pizza Village. We could not have asked for better service! The entire staff was so welcoming to all our guests, drinks (including from the bar) were brought out on a timely basis. Each guest (16 total) ordered from the menu. Our food was brought out all together, no one had to wait, and everyone’s order was correct and delicious! The wait staff kindly cut & served the cake. It was an absolutely enjoyable experience!!!“

“We came to Maria's on September 21, 2024. It was homecoming night in town and many eateries were full. So glad we happened upon this restaurant. The food and service is amazing! We both got Alfredo dishes with home made Italian bread and nice salads! The portions are huge! Lotsa bang for your buck! We won't hesitate to stop here again when passing through!“

“Being a NJ native , it’s hard to find a good pizza spot for my family but a Cucina exceeded expectations. We found our new pizza place. Great food and wonderful service“

“Now coming from NYC we appreciate a nice slice of pizza. You can see I lifted the slice up and all the cheese stayed together with the dough, this my friends is properly cooked and proper ratio between cheese and sauce.

The crust isn’t heavy and after 3 slices I felt good and stuffed, high recommend!!“

“Best cheesesteaks in the Valley! Great selection of other favorites. Highly Recommended. ☆☆☆☆“
