36 Best Italian Restaurants near Cedar Park

“I have been here a few times and food and service is always wonderful. I'll be back in the future. Review by Gabriel A Culiat“

“We went this last Friday for their Prime Rib Special, we arrived right at 5:00pm and were seated right away. Service was incredibly quick and our server was a fantastic personable woman (whose name I can’t remember 🤦🏻‍♀️). The fresh bread was sooo good, my husband had the Cajun pasta which was sooo delicious! I got the Prime Rib Special, the smoked mashed potatoes were to die for, and the asparagus was perfectly cooked. My prime rib was a little overcooked, which made it a bit tough but was still so yummy and the seasoning on it was top tier. The cheesecake dessert was one of the best desserts I have ever had! It lasted about five seconds at our table. The cocktails and mocktails were also perfect. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back!“

“My family and I had dinner here for the first time, and I have to say I was very impressed! We were greeted with very cheerful faces. The waiter was very professional, very helpful with the menu and very personable. The dining room was very inviting with nice decor, good lighting, very comfortable seating and extremely clean. The pizza was just incredible. One of the best I've ever had. A nice lady came by to check on us afterwards to see how everything was, and I always love when they do that because it shows they care. I can't wait to come back and try some of the many options on their menu! It all looks pretty amazing....This will definitely be a regular spot going forward. So glad we came in to check them out. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.“

“My family stumbled onto Mandola’s ItalianKitchen in Odessa Florida. What a delightful restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was excellent. We were greeted at the door by the manager, Chris. He explained how the restaurant ordering and seating worked. We ordered at the counter, where the young woman patiently took our order, clarifying along the way. The wine selection for the casual environment was impressive. We were given a table number and we found a seat. Immediately someone brought warm focaccia bread and Italian oil to dip it in. Our food arrived at our table surprisingly quick. The portions were huge (luckily we were provided to-go boxes when we were ready to leave) The servers were friendly and professional. The chefs were visible as they prepared the food. Our used dishes were removed promptly as we finished one course after another. Then Chris, the manager who first greeted us, came to our table to ensure that our experience had been not just satisfactory, but excellent. Which it was! We are putting Mandola’s Odessa on our favorite restaurant list for when we return to Tampa. Thank you!“

“Fast and Hot Fresh Pizza!!“

“My friend and I came in Sunday afternoon. Actually we had intended to go to Outback but it was closed down. Carrabba's was right next door so we decided to try it. What a great experience! We received the best service from Edward. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was welcoming. The manager even stopped and chatted with us. We will be back, and will ask for Edward.“

“Delicious food! We ate on the patio and everything was delicious. 10/10 recommend. Their meatballs in my main course were some of the best I have ever had!“

“they have the best homemade pasta & the service staff is friendly and efficient, answering all our questions cordially. we highly recommend giving them a try“

“The food was fantastic until it evidently was involved in a fire“

“Great food and the the tiramisu was amazing!“

“My wife and I had a great experience at Olive Garden. Josh was our server and he did an excellent job—very attentive and friendly throughout our visit.
The food was fresh and really good. I had the Lunch Chicken Alfredo, and my wife ordered the Lunch Chicken Parmigiana special. She had the salad, and I had the Chicken & Gnocchi soup, which was delicious.
Overall it was a great experience with great service, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“Todo está delicioso y rápido“

“Excellent food and service; as a couple we enjoyed salmon with risotto and the shrimp scampi. The fried brussel sprouts were also very good. Portions were generous.“

“When one is under the weather like I have been, the pasta fagioli is hands down the best! my parents had gotten me some and goodness, I was already waiting more! It's that good, just the right spiciness too. I highly recommend it!“

“The place was amazing and I had a great time with friends and family but i here is bad side it took so long to have a table ready for us and I forgot to mention is that you get salad and bread sticks for free and my kids like it so much that they said they might have there birthday there“

“Amber was one of the best server/bartender I’ve had the pleasure of being taken care by! She was on point with her menu knowledge, caring attitude, and friendly service!! She was incredible and we for sure will be back. Thank you Amber for such a great night!“

“Awesome experience. Anny went above and beyond to make everything smooth and enjoyable. Her kindness really stood out. Darby was equally incredible—fun to chat with, super knowledgeable, and seriously talented when it comes to art. Huge thanks to the GGDB team for making my visit so memorable“

“We went to this Olive Garden with a group of families, and we had a great experience. The food was good, and the service was excellent.
From a value perspective, they had several options that felt like the amount of food was an ample amount considering the price of the meal. I felt like I got a better meal for the price of what I've tended up paying at several other fast food places.“

“Food was delicious and Italian cream cake“

“This is such a great Pizza / Italian eatery. The food is always amazing and the staff are hospitable. Review by Gabriel Culiat“

“Excellent food and service.“

“My new favorite restaurant.“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The Lasagna was to die for!!! Best ever!“

“Tried the Baked Penne with marinara sauce tonight and it was one of the best things I’ve eaten in the Austin area. The marinara tastes fresh, it was nice and chunky but cooked down well, sodium level was spot on without any sweetness to it, great garlic level - delicious without being overpowering. The pasta was cooked perfectly. Good mouth feel, not mealy, not too hard or soft, held up well to the fork and wasn’t overbaked. Perfect amount of mozzarella - they weren’t stingy with it and it was complimentary to the amount of pasta and sauce. The best thing about it is the large dollops of ricotta on top - it offers a beautiful creaminess against the acidity of the tomatoes that balances really well, and it was a pleasant surprise. I think there are a lot of Italian places around here that wouldn’t think of adding this to a dish, either because of the bottom line or just a lack of desire to update a classic. For the amount of pasta you get and the quality and flavor you get, I would pay twice as much as the current menu price at $6.99 - amazing value. Definitely putting this place on “The List.”“

“My husband and I tried the Thanksgiving pizza and it tasted just like Thanksgiving. 10 out of 10 highly recommend! (But maybe without onions for my onion haters.)“

“Simply the best pizza around!“

“Great food. Hasn’t changed a bit in 40 years!“

“We went to the Research Blvd Marcos the other day. The pizza was so yummy. I wanted to contact the manager to let him know we accidentally packed up one of their pizza pans when I was sliding my mom's leftovers into the box. Just noticed today. I will bring it back ASAP. Sorry for that; we've been kind of out of it lately. But that was really good pizza, even for Marcos. We feel lucky to have such a nice pizza chain. I did not even realize it was that big chain, so even more remarkable that it could be that good.Thanks.“

“This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants to dine at. Food is delicious and service is wonderful. Review by Gabriel Culiat“

“Like the calipower crust!!“

“Great food, great staff, and fast.“

“Mamma Mia, what a find! Nestled in the bustling food court of the Round Rock Premium Outlets, Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen is an absolute gem. I stopped in for a quick bite amidst a shopping spree, and oh, am I glad I did! I decided on the chicken Stromboli, and let me tell you, it was fantastico! The crust was perfectly golden and crispy, yielding to a wonderfully savory filling of tender chicken, melted mozzarella, and just the right touch of herbs. Every bite was a little piece of Italian heaven – truly outstanding! But it wasn't just the incredible food that made this experience so memorable. The owner himself was serving, and his warmth and genuine pride in his establishment shone through. He was so kind, taking my order with a smile and ensuring everything was just right. You could tell he truly cares about every dish that leaves his kitchen, and it shows in the freshness and quality. If you find yourself shopping 'til you drop at the Premium Outlets, do yourself a favor and head straight to the food court for a taste of Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen. You won't be disappointed – it's a culinary highlight that's worth every penny!“

“I haven’t even tried the food yet!! This is our first time at this restaurant and this review is for Customer Service. Ray who took our order was absolutely amazing. Such a great experience Bubbly, welcoming and happy to see us! My family and I will be coming back, just based off of Customer Service. Super sweet, thanks Ray🤗“

“Love the buffet here! We live right next to the DD in Lakeway, but we come here for the buffet.“

“Marco's is our go-to pizza place. We usually get the x-large pepperoni magnifico, which comes with large and small pepperoni. From time to time, we get the cinnasquares for dessert, which are amazing. If you order on the website, you can usually find a deal.“
