50 Best Italian Restaurants near Paoli

“Fabulous food, the closest to what I have dined on while in northern Italy. Love their light and fresh tasting red sauce. Try the chicken Saltimbocca. SUGGESTION: Would love for them to use those wonderful rechargeable lights at each table to add a coziness to the dining experience. THEYRE WONDERFUL!!“

“I’m not normally one to leave reviews, but this experience was especially frustrating. I placed a Grubhub order for a small white pizza from Santucci’s — a specific request that means a lot to my family. My son has special needs and a restrictive eating disorder, and this white pizza from Santucci’s is one of the only foods he’ll actually eat. I timed the delivery to make sure it would arrive by dinner, and when I opened the box and saw a regular red sauce pizza instead, I was heartbroken. Mistakes happen — I get that. What made this worse was how it was handled when I called the restaurant. A young woman who answered the phone was kind and apologetic, and I appreciated that. But after holding for over six minutes, I was passed to someone who immediately accused me of placing the order wrong. I had already double-checked my Grubhub receipt before calling — the order was placed correctly. I even had a screenshot as proof. When I was passed to the manager, I expected a little more compassion and accountability. Instead, I was met with indifference and more blame. I offered to send a screenshot to show the order was right on my end, but the manager refused to look at it and stood by their claim that I was the one at fault. Ironically, the first woman I spoke with had mentioned it looked like a system issue on their end — which made the gaslighting from management all the more frustrating. To be clear, this wasn’t just a minor inconvenience. When your child has very limited safe foods, and you make an intentional effort to get the one thing they will eat — only to have it messed up and then be blamed for it — that’s a big deal. The mistake was frustrating. The lack of accountability and empathy? Even worse. I’m incredibly disappointed with how this was handled and hope Santucci’s reflects on how to better support customers, especially when mistakes are made“

“Awesome Hoagies Yum yum“

“I used Johnny Paisano’s to cater a holiday party. I had an amazing experience from the very beginning. I spoke with Christine who helped me place the order, and helped me to decide the best options for my menu. One of my options was a prime rib, where I received a phone call from Johnny himself to help me figure out the best way to prepare it for the party. When it was time to retrieve the food on the day of the party, everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Johnny once again came out and was talking with me about the food. I appreciate this aspect of a business, it makes you feel like you’re in a friendly environment, rather than a sterile kitchen. The food quality was amazing. Every platter was delicious, and every guest was happy with how the food turned out. The prime rib was the largest hit, not surprisingly. I couldn’t believe the value of everything as well. Please use Johnny Paisano’s for your next event, they will not disappoint at all, and will go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met!“

“One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! Everything was delicious. Roz and Rocco's chef is a pro, and the waitress was congenial, and on point! The restaurant is a whimsical, eclectic blend that combines a traditional "family home style" celebratory vibe showcasing the owner's Italian grandmother's recipes. I am a salmon snob, and "Roz and Roccos" delivered: my salmon was cooked to perfection with that delicious crispy top layer that I love. The fresh charred, roasted broccoli had that brilliant green color with the right amount of tenderness and crispiness that made it so yummy. Our table of seven agreed that the food was bursting with unique flavors, as we passed around our plates to sample the entrees. Rox and Rocco's is a festive restaurant and I could feel "Grandma's love" with every bite.. So glad we picked this restaurant for Mother's Day.“

Great place to enjoy a meal and conversation.“

“We attended a Holiday party there, we were blown away by the atmosphere, food and staff“

“Food is always consistently good. We were there a few weeks ago when on a Wednesday. Apparently there was some group in a side room. Our waitress was MIA most of the meal after she dropped off our food. No refills on drinks when we needed it. Then it took twenty minutes to get our check. Everyone around us was also complaining. One waitress for ten tables? It is obvious they were paying more attention to the larger party in the side room. . They need to hire more waitstaff. It spoiled the outing.“

“I had gnocchi bolognese, my husband had penne with Pesto and mozzarella (burrata). The waitress was really nice and we had a great meal!!!“

“The service and food were terrific—10 out of 10! The room itself was very small and packed to the brim with tables and chairs. If you’re planning a small gathering, this might be the perfect place for you. For a larger group, however, the tight space could be a challenge.“

“Everything is fantastic time & time again!“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, great live music. Bar tender and servers were awesome too.“

“I just made a pizza in my kitchen oven using a Toscana Pizza Kit. Simply perfect! This is the first time that I have been able to create a round pizza with out a rolling pin. The sauce and cheese supplied with the kit are more than is needed. I think I will be doing this every Friday! RGDS, Kevin Koob Springfield, PA“

“Huge fan - their thin crust pizzas are my family’s favorite in the area. We also love the Nonna’s pie - square, but thinner crusted than a Sicilian pie with a excellent cheese blend and just a bit of heat/spice. Also, save room for the tiramisu - home made by Paola and seriously the best I’ve ever had!“

“We recently hosted a Baby Shower at Fellini’s - and to say they outdid themselves would be an understatement! Anthony was AMAZING to work with from the beginning- very communicative, listened to our vision and helped us bring it to life- including creating menu items they don’t typically serve! Day of, Anthony, his wife and the staff were nothing short of amazing! And the food was RAVED about! We cant thank Anthony and Fellini Cafe enough for the beautiful space, delicious food, incredible hospitality and memories we will have for a lifetime!“

“This restaurant is our new favorite place! We discovered it in May 2022 and have been there many times since! The food is fresh, amazing and beautifully plated! Jen is an awesome chef and her staff is friendly, informative and top notch. We have taken friends and family members there and everyone has raved about the food, service and ambiance! We just love this place!“

“Love Spasso’s. Nice friendly staff and the food is always amazing. We love Wednesdays there because we really like the scallop special. Had my birthday dinner here with friends and family in the downstairs room. Love the creme brûlée too.“

“My family really enjoys eating at Felinis. We usually end up choosing whatever special of the day is. It’s such a quaint little restaurant and I love sitting by the window and watching people outside while we eat. The peanut butter bomb is a favorite dessert of mine here!“

“We hosted ~20 people from out of town for a team dinner and it was wonderful to have Dan & DiFabios help us have a space to mingle, eat & have drinks with everybody traveling out of town for marathon weekend we really wanted a space for just that. From accommodating our party (including kiddos) to the great service - we were so happy with the food, service & Dan helping us reserve the space!“

“I just moved into the area and I decided to stop by. It felt like I was walking into an old pizza joint from the 90s, or even older. The food is delicious, the staff was friendly, and I will likely be a recurring customer for as long as I'm in West Goshen.“
