50 Best Italian Restaurants near Mauldin

“Best Italian I've ever had! Don't waste a visit on burgers and such, go for the pasta you won't regret it! Husband had bacon and penne pasta, I had mussels, shrimp and class in red sauce, both with just the right amount of spice. Fabulous! Natalie and Ludovico were super friendly and hospitable as well, can't wait to go back. Bring your own wine!“

“I like their pizza the best but they've got other excellent Greek and Italian dishes on the menu also, if you're not in the mood for pizza.“

“If you’ve never had Beef on Weck, get to Moretti’s asap! Great wings, pizza and a Friday fish fry!“

“10/10!! The food is absolutely incredible. The service is top notch. They went above and beyond for an 18 year old’s birthday that we were celebrating. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We go for the atmosphere and margherita.“

“Liz Barwick and I were staying at a nearby hotel and decided to check out Giovanni's on a whim as it was a short walk away. What a fantastic decision this ended up being! There was a short wait for a table (less than half an hour) but that makes complete sense given the relatively small but very inviting interior space. It all feels very cozy and intimate. Service was excellent start to finish. The host made us feel welcome and accommodated, the Owner/Manager went over the specials and gave us a quick rundown on the options available, our server was prompt and very friendly, and we were never left wanting at any step in the experience. The food was all fantastic as well! We split an order of Calamari in sauce and fried mozzarella as a starter (both delicious) and for mains Liz had the Chicken Alfredo while I had a Mushroom and Truffle Ravioli special. Both of these were incredible and the ravioli dish was served with a flavorful oil and a small basket of bread to soak it up so as to not let a bit go to waste. We also had the Tiramisu as a takeout and it was on the same high level as everything else that we experienced! Overall I cannot recommend Giovanni's enough to anyone looking to have an intimate, traditional Italian experience in the Greenville area and will be coming again in the future!“

“The waitress was overwhelmed, she was waitressing and running the bar.. she was very sweet and handled the press.. but we didn't get the service we usually get.. never came back for refills of tea, when salad was brought no bread sticks. We asked said they would be right up they were baking.. dinner came we asked again, told they were burned and she would bring out some shortly.. she never did.. another waiter brought our refills and bread sticks at the end of the meal. Other than that food was good.“

“The Acropolis restaurant never disappoints. Our group of five ladies was celebrating a birthday. They put us in a secluded side room just for us. Portion sizes were large and most people left with take home boxes. My plate had delicious hummus, and well seasoned chicken along with a small salad. The pita bread was very good. We had a great time here and service was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“The best food and staff around!!!!“

“Marco - A1. Vibes and drinks unmatched 🤙🏼“

“What a pleasant surprise! We weren’t expecting this place to have sandwiches, and we’re so glad we walked over to check out the menu.

The Hot Mama was the perfect refreshing sandwich on a hot, humid summer day, flavorful, satisfying, and generously portioned. Each sandwich is cut in half and wrapped individually, making it easy to save for later (just note it can get a bit soggy).

The Chop Cheese was absolute heaven! The slight kick from the peppers added just the right touch of heat. With the large portions, I enjoyed the second half for dinner at the airport. It was still delicious, even without being piping hot.

Don’t skip the mozzarella bites, a fun, creative twist on classic cheese sticks. Make your way to the back corner of Gather and give this place a try. It’s worth it!“

“Finally tried this place today and will definitely be back. The gluten free pizza was the best my husband has ever had! In fact I split one with him and it was as good as any regular pizza I’ve had. He is so happy to have gluten free pizza that tastes this good!“

“Amazing food! Very kind people work there! Delicious pizza and wings, the lunch special is a great deal and the whole family loved it! Will definitely be returning; so glad we found this place!“
