10 Best Italian Restaurants near Pickens

“A great local spot with laid back place to sit and relax with good food after you have been on the road. The ribeye sandwich was delicious. My wife had the lasagna and said it was amazing. Definitely a great little food place. All the locals love it and for good reason.“

“Lots of kid friendly meal options.

Kid-friendliness: This pizza and Italian food joint is superb for children. There are many items which I would classify as "kid meals" as well a "Adult Appetizers/small meals". The small pizzas, cheese sticks, and 6 piece all flats chicken wings are a great meal for children at a low cost.“

“We've been eating at this Pizza Inn for about 40 years and it's still good! It can be really crowded sometimes but they do really well at keeping a large variety of fresh pizzas on the buffet. They gladly fix whatever your favorite pizza is, you're never just stick with whatever's on the bar. Not that that would be a bad thing because it's all good.“

“Great place to eat in downtown Easley! Good environment and family friendly. Our waitress Anna was very nice and made sure we were well taken care of, me and my wife will definitely be coming back. We ordered the garlic cheese bread as an appetizer and it was AMAZING“

“Capris is one of my favorite restaurants. I like the fresh salads, every entree’ I’ve ever ordered, the bread, the appetizers, the service and most of all the best iced tea in the world!!!❤️“

“My wife and I have been enjoying this place for over a year now and have ALWAYS had great food. The staff are a great staff always friendly and always say hello to everyone that enters. Great place to have a cold one and relax.“

“Great place and people“

“Oh my gosh. The sub bread is absolutely amazing!!! When you bite into it he sub the bread is like light crispy again it is amazing. The triple decker sub is so so good!!!! The fries were crunchy and so good!!! I will definitely be back!! Great reviews on the pizza so will be trying that next!!“

“The man who was busting his butt in there today making pizzas and doing what he could deserves a serious amount of recognition. He is always working hard and giving excellent customer service even during extremely stressful times. This wasn't the first time he was short staffed and still doing what he could to deliver amazing food and excellent service.Today he was something like 30 orders backed up and the phone was ringing off the hook. He held his composure and balanced everything as well as one man could be expected to. He was also trying to get more help to come in while he worked.Strangely, this may have been the best pizza we have ever had from there, and they always have excellent food.“

“Was skeptical to try because of the lower rating. But I'm so glad we did!!!

Starting with an Arnold Palmer, absolutely delicious. It's sometimes difficult to find good tea or lemonade around here, so it's always a nice treat to have both in one drink, and they're both tasty.

By far, the best deluxe/supreme pizza I've ever had!! Sure, it was expensive ($25 for a large), but in my opinion, it was worth every penny. Perfect sauce/cheese/topping/crust ratio. A beautiful variety of peppers and meats like I've never seen. Every ingredient of the pizza (and the salad and calamari we also got) seemed 100% fresh. There was an amazing blend of seasoning on the crust, not too much like a lot of other restaurants, but just enough so it wasn't bland. The pizza was cooked to just the right temperature. The crust had a wonderful crispiness to it without being too crispy. It was the best balance of crispy outer crust and soft inner crust I've ever witnessed.

I also had their version of a Caesar salad, but no olives and a vinaigrette instead of Caesar dressing. When I tell you, this was the most incredible vinaigrette I've ever tasted. The perfect blend of oil and vinegar and herbs.

The calamari was pretty great, too. Plump rings and tentacles. They used a really nice basic batter on it, and it was, of course, fried to perfection. The marinara dipping sauce was pretty good, nothing crazy but pleasant .

The restaurant was surprisingly slow for a Friday night around dinner time, but they did have a comedy show later that I imagine some people were planning on attending then. Service was great though. Everyone from the hostess to server to bus boys were very hospitable. Our server was very attentive and really took excellent care of us.

I'll probably be going back at least once a month from now on!“
