26 Best Italian Restaurants near Travelers Rest

“I have not been to this Pizza Inn for at least 15 years. Our server, Brandon, was excellent. I had forgotten that you could request any kind of pizza for the buffet, Brandon asked if we had any requests. I asked for something strange, not an everyday pizza. He suggested Cheeseburger or Taco, we requested both and both were great! We will definitely dine here more often!!!“

“This is a gem in Greenville. They serve freshly made pastas and have an extensive wine menu. This isn't the typical Italian restaurant with 3 pastas and a red and white sauce. This is elevated but not in a weird, stuffy way. It's a lively atmosphere with good food and amazing service. It's definitely worth a visit and if the weather is good the seats on the balcony are a great spot for dinner with a view.“

“Top notch service and delicious meal. We placed our order and the waitress returned with drinks and bread. This bread is to die for!! Our food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious! Our meals included wings, pasta sampler, pizza, and chicken parm. We all had leftovers to take home!“

“An excellent family owned and operated authentic italian restaurant. Impeccable standards and exceptional food and service. The restaurant is quiet enough for a business dinner, has atmosphere for a date night, but the food is the stand out. If I have another opportunity to dine here I will certainly return!“

“This restaurant is very nice with a warm cozy vibe and fine dining experience. I had the Wagyu meatballs and lasagna. They were both outstanding! The meatballs are a bit pricey (2 for $18).The lasagna noodles were cooked Al dente, its was very meaty, and a large potion.“

“Belladina's offered some of the best pizza I've had in Greenville. Their sauce is beautifully balanced-- flavorful without overpowering the rest of the toppings.When we visited, it felt like we were walking into a family's kitchen. Everyone was kind, attentive. We were visited by multiple people there, from kids to older adults, and I felt genuinely welcomed.One thing that stood out to me during my visit was when my husband ordered a couple of slices for my daughter, they asked if they could cut it up differently for her, to make it easier for her. Though a small gesture, I appreciated the thoughtfulness of it.I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. Thanks, Belladina's!“

“Decent Italian food. Homemade pasta so I tried the bolognese which was salty and a very small portion for $19. No bread, no salad just a small bowl of pasta. Parking is a nightmare when they are busy but I would go again just not go hungry. I stopped for a small burger on the way home at McDonalds because I was still hungry.“

“Went to eat here for our 25th anniversary. Our waiter.....mid 30s with a beard, was great. Cant remember his name, sorry. Food was great except for it being luke warm and a little food. Swordfish and crab with asparagus was next level ! Our waiter blessed up with some lemon wine beverage for our anniversary that was so good. We sat out side, a tad noisey with the corn hole and drunks at the bar, but it all cant be perfect right? I liked Nantucket better, but this will do.“

“Waiter Daniel did an excellent job, food was great,i called ahead for seating due to handicaps and was seated quickly; however there was no handicapped spot open so had to walk from the side which was quite difficult so would have to think twice about dining there again?“

“After my regular pizza spot started going downhill, my son suggested that I try Tito's. I eat vegetarian and most places I've tried just can't seem to get it right for my liking.I stopped in today and was greeted with a smile and friendly face from behind the counter. I ordered the vegetarian 16" pie and waited. Didn't have to wait long. The pizza was HOT! There was steam coming from the box.By the time I got home (about 15 minutes away) the pizza was still hot. It was DELICIOUS! The crust and the toppings were great. Needless to say, I will be visiting Tito's again. I love that it's family-owned and I hate that I took so long to try it out. Wish I had snapped a photo before devouring it.I DEFINITELY recommend Tito's Restaurant Pizzeria!Vegetarian options: I didn't look at the complete menu. I wanted pizza and quickly found my choice so I can only say that I definitely recommend the vegetarian pizza.“

“No pictures. Sorry. When I'm hungry I never remember. Lol. We had our girl Sadie with us so we sat on the back porch. It's a corner porch so you get a great breeze. It does have a roof to protect you from the heat and rain. Plus they have plenty of picnic tables. No clue what the inside restaurant looks like. Next trip there.Just a note, if your dog is not used to loud noises, this is the perfect place to introduce them. Motorcycle parking is along the edge of the porch and the restaurant backs up to the train tracks. We live near the NC/SC border in a fairly rural area. Think no planes, trains or automobiles. Our little Sadie heard cars and trucks coming across the tracks, some hauling trailers. A motorcycle starting up to leave at the same time a train rolled along the tracks. Two Harley's pulled in as another started up to leave.We ordered a starter of fried mushrooms and a deluxe hand tossed pizza. There was one server for the porch area with a party of 8-10 and about tables of 3. Our mushrooms and pizza came out within a minute of each other so we opted to eat the pizza. It was good and we will definitely return although without our sweet Sadie. Or, maybe we will bring her again to continue our quest to adjust her to noise. ?“

“We got the gnocchi and the West Village pizza both had incredible flavors. The Bolognese tasted incredibly fresh and the gnocchi was perfectly cooked.But the show stopper was the pizza. They had the perfect amount of toppings, the sausage was incredible, the flavor of the dough/crust was some of the best I've had.My husband said "that pizza may have ruined me". We can't wait to go back!“

“There were some things to like and some things not to like. When we arrived, all four of us (adults) commented on the pleasing decor. We were greeted warmly. When we asked for a booth instead of one of the open tables, they happily went and cleaned one off.The server took a while to get to us, but he was very pleasant too. However, he seemed to have a little language trouble understanding us. I ordered some garlic knots with cheese. They were a generous portion for us all to share. Delicious too.After we had placed our entree orders, the two of our group who ordered side salads got theirs quite quickly. Both said they were delicious, but our expectation was that a side salad is delivered with the entree, not as a separate course while the other two had nothing yet.All four entrees came out together. My Chicken Parmigiana was delicious and I would definitely have it again. There was enough to take home. My wife had Chicken Piccata and she liked hers too. Also enough to take home. One of our friends had the Chicken Marsala and he was not real pleased with it. However, he’s generally not a big fan of Italian food. He said he’d choose the Eggplant Parmigiana next time. Our other friend had the Vegetable Lasagna. She was also a bit disappointed because there wasn’t really any vegetables. Just pasta and sauce. She would not order it again.Will we go back. Probably. The pizza some other folks had looked incredible.“

“The lasagna was the best I've had in a long time!! This was also my first time buying the meal prep packages. So far, I'm very impressed!! I ate the BLT Caesar salad today. Tomorrow,I'm having the stuffed chicken breast and rice!“

“These pizza's are our favorite! They deliver too! They are ALWAYS the same as what got last time... exactly às requested! Hot and just darn good! Add something extra? No problem! Cook a little longer? Sure! Call them up n oh...wait... get some of the BEST WINGS on the planet to go with! Want some soda? Ok! See? THE BEST OF EVERYTHING <3“

“I took my wife here on Valentine's Day and it was absolutely delicious. We have been driving by the location for many years and I always wanted to go. This is probably one of the best (IMO) Italian restaurants in GVL. I love Trattoria Giorgio's and this place is right up there along side it. I can't recommend it enough and make sure I mention it to anyone looking for a date night out.“

“I met with my Aunt and Grandmother last week for lunch. It was such a nice place to come have lunch, I took my bestfriend for dinner on her birthday a couple days after. We all enjoyed everything we got! The lasagna is the best, but my aunt would disagree saying the Beef Zorba is better. My niece said the tiramisu gets the spot for number one! We may not agree which plate gets 1st spot but we all agree that this restaurant is with out doubt number 1 in Greenville, and probably the entire state. It is a regular place for us now and the servers greet us by name. It is high quality with a nice atmosphere! My families favorite.“

“The food was really good and fresh. I felt like someone cooked for me at home. The cajun shrimp pasta was amazing! My friend also enjoyed the fried chicken dinner.Service was excellent! Our cups never ran out of the drink. We never had to look for the server. Very good service and no complaints on food.“

“It's been awhile since I have eaten at this restaurant. After the evening, I'm sad that I haven't been a more frequent patron. Food was excellent. My veal chop was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My wife's spinach ravioli were plentiful and tasty. I would recommend both. The service was impeccable. Chuck was attentive but not intrusive. The price was reasonable. I will be sure not to wait so long between visits“

“This place is beyond AMAZING, in all areas. Our waiter was more than helpful and so friendly. He kept our drinks filled and helped recommend wonderful entrees. We started with yeast rolls and salad, probably the freshest salad I have ever eaten. And them rolls......whoa. We got the Arancini appetizer, never heard of it. If you haven't had it, get it. It is amazing!!! We also split the lobster ravioli and the Red Snapper Francese. All I can say is wow. Both entrees were packed with flavor. Then we finished it off with the Lemon Blueberry Marscapone pound cake(I think that's the name, you get the idea). It literally melts in your mouth. It is like eating a cheesecake and pound cake together. If you need a night out, come here. You can't be disappointed with anything on the menu. Our new favorite date night restaurant!!!“

“First time there, small issue with my food...BUT, the manager and server were so gracious. They more than made up for it with their understanding and dessert. It's great to see service like this in this day and age.Everything was delicious and they have great staff. We'll be back!“

“I live about a half mile from the Capri's in Easley. Before I moved to Easley in 1987 I lived about 1 mile from the Capri's in Greenville that was on Augusta Road. So I've been eating Capri's food for many many years and I have always loved it. So when I found out that there was a Capri's Now on Pelham Road I was eager to try it. The food was excellent, and the service was good, but the only problem we had was the table we sat at was right in front of a huge window which did have a screen on it, but the sun was shining directly in our face, even through the screen. That was very uncomfortable. Other than that everything else was really good and the prices are cheaper at the one on Pelham Road than they are at the one in Easley, but the food is just as good.“

“Attended for lunch w/ 6 friends. All ordered different items and all were perfect and tasty. All seven of us needed separate checks which was done perfectly (with a portable card reader). They put us in an alcove so we could chat amongst ourselves. Very comfortable and the food was very reasonably priced. All were pleased.“

“Katie the bartender is amazing! She's friendly, attentive, and the reason we went back the very next night! The food was amazing. We had pizza, garlic knots and pasta and everything was delicious!!! We will definitely be stopping by again when we are back in town! 100% would recommend!“

“I ended up at the Olive Garden in Cherrydale. I ordered the Seafood Alfredo soup and salad.Vegetarian options: The endless soup and salad is great.Parking: They need more handicapped accessibility parking.Kid-friendliness: They have coloring books.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy for wheelchair service“

“I have been eating at Capris since the mid 80s and am always pleased with what I have. It isn’t “authentic” Italian, and isnt strong in flavors like some places, but whatever it is, I enjoy it ! Management has always addressed concerns, and been accommodating for large parties although you might have to wait. The earlier you get there the better!!! I try to get there when it opens.(Please get baby changing tables if you haven’t already)Parking is a pain but nothing more can be done about that so I don’t count off for that.“
