15 Best Italian Restaurants in Murfreesboro

“We lived near Love’s Pizza ever since it came to Murfreesboro but never tried it—BIG MISTAKE. We moved and ended up staying in a hotel in Murfreesboro on Christmas. One of the only restaurants open was Love’s, so we ordered pizza. The people working were so nice, and the pizza was amazing. We couldn’t believe how fresh the toppings were and how great it tasted! We wish we still lived close. Best customer service in the Boro! Thank you for feeding my family and being so kind!“

“Penne Pazze has become one of my favorite spots. We found it on a seed oil free app and decided to try it out. We come at least once a week now. All the dishes have lots of flavor. The Honey Pepperoni Pinsa is my go-to for a quick bite. I haven't met everyone but I can say Riccardo, Luke, Adalyn and Maddie have made my experience at Penne Pazze top tier every time. It's easy to order with the QR code at the table and I am never left waiting for my tab because I can close it out at my convenience. My favorite place to sit is at the bar. It's a front row seat to all the action going on in the kitchen. It is a casual and fun atmosphere with delicious food. I’m so glad we found it.“

“From the moment we walked into Olive Garden in Murfreesboro this Good Friday, we knew the evening was going to be special, but we had no idea just how memorable it would become. What started as a simple family dinner quickly turned into an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time, and that is largely because of our incredible server, Shawna.

Shawna didn’t just serve our table, she genuinely cared for us. Her kindness felt natural and sincere, not rushed or routine, even in the middle of what was clearly a very busy evening. She took the time to walk us through the menu with thoughtful suggestions, helping us confidently choose dishes that ended up being absolutely perfect for our family. It wasn’t just about taking an order, it felt like she was helping us create a great experience.

What truly stood out was her attentiveness. Shawna seemed to anticipate our needs before we even realized them ourselves. Drinks were refreshed right on time, extra items appeared just when we needed them, and everything flowed so smoothly that we were able to fully relax and enjoy each other’s company. That kind of service is rare, especially on a night as busy as Good Friday.

And then came dessert, her recommendations were nothing short of incredible. Each one was better than the last, and it turned what could have been the end of a meal into one of the most enjoyable highlights of the night. We found ourselves lingering longer, savoring every bite and every moment.

Beyond Shawna, the entire team contributed to such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hostess staff greeted us with genuine friendliness that set the tone right away, and the manager and team worked together so seamlessly that it was honestly impressive to watch. Even from our table, you could feel the strong sense of teamwork and pride in what they do. The kitchen absolutely delivered as well, every dish was prepared beautifully and tasted fantastic.

Most importantly, this dinner was a birthday celebration for our family, and thanks to Shawna and the entire Olive Garden team, it became so much more than just a meal. It felt meaningful, joyful, and truly special, exactly the kind of experience you hope for but don’t always find.

We left feeling grateful, taken care of, and already hoping that the next time we visit, we’ll be lucky enough to have Shawna as our server again. Experiences like this are what keep people coming back, and we will absolutely be back.

“I would like to give Customer feedback with regards to an order that I made at the little Caesars in Murfreesboro, TN located at 2546 Southgate Blvd Unit A Murfreesboro, TN 37128. There is a customer service representative there by the name of Tina. I’m not sure if she’s a manager over that facility or not but I would like to give positive feedback with regards to how she treated me when I ordered pizzas and breadsticks for my daughter’s fifth grade class at a local elementary school in the area. Tina took extra care of all of the pizzas and breadsticks that I ordered. She even helped me tie it up and put name tags on it for the students in the class. She went above and beyond her normal duties to help me and she has a heart of gold. If there’s anyway you can reach out to her supervisor or property owner. Please let them know that they hired one of the best customer service representatives that I’ve ever ran in contact with who works at a little Caesars pizza. If I owned an establishment she would be the one that I would hire to manage my whole facility. She was multitasking, supervising the whole kitchen, doing takeout orders, all while helping me. She is the best!“
