22 Best Italian Restaurants near Lake Wylie

“This has to be one of the best restaurants we have been to since we moved here just over a year ago. The service was over the top amazing and the food devine. My husband had meatballs and spaghetti, and I had the Scottish salmon with wonderful risotto. The cheesecake dessert, which we shared, was so smooth and creamy. We will definitely be back. Just know, the portion sizes are large, but we have plenty for another meal, which we are looking forward to.Parking: Lots of spaces in front and in the rear.“

“We had the pleasure of dining here last night and it was fabulous! ALL of the staff is very friendly, engaging and on point. The food was fantastic-so full of flavor with a delicate balance of spice that complimented each dish. We are looking forward to going back and trying new things!“

“Absolutely loved my dining experience here on Tuesday night. Service by Jeff was amazing, his attention to the table(s) and keeping them clean of excess/empty dinnerware and utensils was top-notch. The mushroom ravioli was delicious, and the cannolis hit the spot!“

“Joe's Touch of ItalyI shared their post about lunch specials a while back, but I’d never tried them. After driving by to pick up my son from school for two years, I decided that today was a great day to give it a go!We got an early dinner with a small pepperoni pizza, a small supreme w/o ham or sausage (it’s a cheaper version than building your own with everything else that comes on it), a large veggie pizza, garlic knots and the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls.Everything was fresh and delicious! Great char to the crust, great flavor, real bacon, spicy pepperonis, just overall great tasting food. Crust is a thinner crust that’s crunchy and chewy in all the right places. I’d only enjoy more cheese, but it’s a solid pizza.The garlic knots weren’t my fave, I like a little more yeasty doughiness, but the marinara is money!The egg rolls could use some onion and green pepper, but they were flavorful-a little over cooked, but good.I live off Union/Armstrong, and everything was still piping hot when it got home.This is our favorite pizza so far. And, we’ve tried a few.#SupportLocal#supportsmallbusiness“

“On Saturday my sister and I stopped here for lunch before heading home after a morning of shopping. The restaurant appeared clean and there were these beautiful Easter wreaths hung on the wall to the left of the entrance that were for sale they were very reasonably priced.The cheerful young lady who greeted me upon entering the restaurant also took my order. I ended up getting the 12” Supreme when my order was ready the young lady brung it to the table where I was sitting after I gathered myself and pizza I headed to the car when we got to my sister’s we ended up putting the pizza in the oven for just a few minutes to crisp the crust as it was a bit doughy for us. The pizza ? had a fairly good taste and we each enjoyed 3 slices a piece with 2 leftover slices which my sister had for lunch on Monday. I hate I didn’t get any photos for this review.Parking: Plenty of parking as this restaurant is located in an area with other restaurants and businesses.Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome as there’s a familiar family atmosphere about the restaurant.“

“Really tasty breakfast omelets for a great price.I might just dine here when not servicing my vehicle.As Cosmo Kramer would say,"It's like Sizzler opened up a Ford Dealership!"Kid-friendliness: Quiet but also TVs in the lounge. The satellite TV feed was out when I was in due to storms. Only down side.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space for wheelers and family alike. I am not wheelchair bound but have worked in the service industry prior.“

“We recently had our son's rehearsal dinner utilizing the upstairs at Drift. It was an overall wonderful experience! Sydney, the event coordinator, was responsive, helpful, accommodating and just great to work with. We had over 50 people in attendance and the serving staff was attentive, efficient, and very pleasant the whole evening. We have some gluten sensitive family and Sydney and the staff went out of their way to be sure there was no cross contamination. From the appetizers, to the salads and main entrees, all of the food was excellent - I heard many compliments from my family. We had perfect weather which allowed us to have the windows and doors open upstairs, which was truly the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend this venue for an event such as this. You will not be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: Accommodate gluten allergic customers well!“

“First time going and WOW..... i mean Wow! The choices are great the service is pleasant and the atmosphere is quiet cozy and just right for a future date night. The marinara sauce was delicious definitely housemade fresh.Kid-friendliness: Kid menu as well“

“My family had been looking for a good pizza place since we relocated to the area. Finally, we heard about Lake Wylie Pizza. It is the best in the area by far. Not only that but whether you dine in or take out you will be greeted by a courteous, friendly and hard working staff. They do very well with all their Italian fare as well.“

“I love places like this. Jesus is great. Very friendly. Being a Hispanic I love to hear the language and I love to speak it so I do so at every opportunity. The food is very good. Had the chicken onion Stromboli. 10 out of 10. I recommend if you’re in the area. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Traveling through SC. My husband had the pasta with mushroom sauce and I had the pasta with bolognese. Both were very good. Don’t let the fact that it’s located in a strip mall stop you from going there. Well worth it. There were people coming in all the time and some people waiting“

“My family and I order from Milano’s often! They have amazing service and the pizza is the closest to up north I’ve found since being in this area. I was so happy when I found the seafood pizza on the menu because it’s my fave back home! They made it perfectly!The service is so great that the owner personally fixed an error made through DoorDash and delivered the correct food to my home. I will always order from here because they understand customer needs and the food is great!“

“We eat at the Stoncrest location multiple times a week. Food is always great, staff is friendly and attentive. Restaurant is always clean and inviting. I’d recommend anyone who’s never indulged in NBN to stop in and try it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!!!!!!“

“Luigi’s Pizza is a phenomenal Pizza Restaurant! Best in the Charlotte area. Pizza crust is perfect, cheese is high quality, and the sauce is on point too. Staff is friendly and welcoming.Highest recommendations for a quality Pizza experience.“

“Villa Roma is a staple for our family. I had the baked spaghetti (watch out because the melted cheese can splash sauce on your shirt) and it was yummy. We enjoy all the food and the small salad bar that has a nice variety of ingredients. The service is always good as is the food. We enjoy the Italian flavored hominess and keep coming back.“

“We've been going here for years. Never had any major issues. Their marinara is the best I have ever had. Literally could drink it. Pizza, calzones, chicken pita, burger, and fries are always delicious. Mozzarella sticks are hit or miss. Pink lemonade is so good.“

“First visit here and we were pleasantly surprised. So much better than the previous tenant, Brass Tap. We had the pizza other apps and everything was VERY GOOD. Had the opportunity to meet the owner Richie and hear his story. Seemed like a good guy trying to bring quality Italian food to the area. This is a family ran business and you can tell. The service was great and our server Jonathan was very attentive. If you like NY style pizza, you will not be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and check it out.“

“This is our second visit. We were hesitant to come back to this location due to the first visit being awful, but we chalked it up to being a newly opened location. Glad we came back food was great service was ok and the dishes/silverware was clean. We will be back.“

“This resturant is suprising good! It's just not what you'd expect in a good way. Outward appearance is a Greek resturant but it's not. Look at the menu and it's covers home town southern classics, Greek, and a wide array of burgers and sandwiches. Now I'm thinking it's too big of a menu to be good. Nope I was wrong again. Majority of what I've order I confirmed was made from scratch in house. Even the chicken both times I ordered that came out perfectly cooked not dry in the slightest. I've ate in and carried out both were fantastic. It's just funny to me how every time I've ate here I'm not expecting anything special just a decent meal and when the food comes out without fail I'm talking about how I'm suprised how good it truely is!Vegetarian options: My girlfriend is a vegetarian and we never have an issue finding a good choice for her here“

“When deciding on a place to eat I always check Google reviews. This one didn’t have the greatest, but we were with a large group, so didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. The second red flag for a restaurant is the sanitation rating which they are required to display. Their’s was a 96, not bad, but we’ve seen much better. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food came out quickly. The pizza was pretty good. We loved the crust and the toppings were generous. Many in our party said they’d return. The calzones had way too much ricotta in them for us to fully enjoy. One had to scrape a lot of the cheese out and another left a large portion of theirs uneaten. Overall, I’d be willing to give this place another try. It exceeded my expectations walking in, so that counts for something, and everyone left happy!“

“We enjoyed our dinner. We were skeptical because of other reviews. Our food was fantastic! Our servings were nice size, we both had enough to take home. The calamari was great! The eggplant parmigiana was great!For two of us we got 2 adult beverages, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 1 side salad our bill was $$$“
