13 Best Italian Restaurants near Belton

“My son and I ate here for lunch today, he had the meat lasagna and I had beef ravioli. We both enjoyed our meal! It was seasoned to perfection, the perfect sized portion and very reasonably priced.“

“It’s like a tea restaurant and Pastarico Italian at same place. Started with the funghi bread appetizer and it was yummy. Then you pick your noodles, then your sauce. We both had a different wine sauce and it was very good. Good customer service.“

“I'm usually very satisfied with our meals from Luigi's. But this evening our meals were not good. The meals were very unfavorable and there was to much sauce. Didn't get our extra bread.“

“First visit. Finally an upscale restaurant in the Temple area to relax and not feel like you’re being pushed out so the restaurant can get its customer quota for the night… and the staff was great! Excellent across the board…from the drinks from the bar to the main courses and wonderful dessert. We will be back…and bring friends. :-).“

“There's a smell when you walk in. Not a good smell either. No idea why.
Then our waitress became non-existent for a solid 20 minutes. Planned for desert. To no avail.
Wasn't impressed at all.

Updated review:

Came for a birthday party of wife's friends. Hands down, they fixed the smell. Hostesses were great! Manager was wonderfully helpful. Wife and her friends sat at a table. Great waitress.
I sat at the bar. EXCEPTIONAL BARTENDER. Never caught her name, but she was great!
I changed my original review from 2 stars to 5 stars. That's the way an Olive Garden SHOULD be.
Thanks to all of you.

“Italiano’s recently catered my son’s wedding and it was so good! The staff was very professional and Abbie was amazing to work with. The food came fresh from Temple to Salado! They arrived in a timely matter. The food was a hit with the guests! I will definitely use them again for any future events.“

“Enjoyed eating here with my family. The staff was very personable and inviting. My son said this was the best spaghetti he had ever had. The pizza and crust were amazing. Very authentic. Would recommend, we will be coming back on our next visit.“

“This is our favorite pizza place in Salado. The pizzas are great, nice salad bar, ice cream. Craft Beers!!“

“Best pizza ever! Had no clue! Been wanting to try, but Hubby and I don’t eat much pizza. My grandson is here and we got the pepperoni and cheese bread. Wow!“

“Kudos to Mgr. Mary 4:45 Friday 03/28/2025. In a busy atmosphere, she was so kind to help my 11 y.o. autistic nephew, showing him how to swipe gift card, which took a lot of patience. B loves LC's and the highlight of his week is to have me video him opening the door and putting the code into the portal to retrieve his pizza. Then go to the counter and purchase a 2L Root Beer. He loves Mary and the special attention she gives him. Mary is a keeper and I hope she is appreciated by LC as much as we appreciate her.“

“Came here on a Saturday night asked for extra everything on my deep dish pizza and it came out raw didn’t notice it till I got home I was mad and sad! Called Monday they told me come on end and they make it right and they did! They made me another one and it was great!! I haven’t had any issues after that that’s why I gave it five stars! The customer service has been there always! It’s nice to know if something is wrong they will make it right!“
