30 Best Italian Restaurants near Garden Ridge

“My husband I love to go here. It’s cozy and the waitresses are always wonderful. We always get the fettuccine Alfredo. Said last night we should try something new, but the sauce is so good. It’s our ‘go to’ place.“

“(05/30/25) Eight of us met for dinner at the Pazzo Pastaria and were immediately greeted and seated by the very pleasant co-owner, Ginny. The ambiance is simple, cozy and (thank you), not noisy. The wait staff is excellent (shout out to Katie!); the menu is well organized and offers several out-of-the-ordinary Italian dishes. Don't fill up on the tasty breads and olive oil dip, because the food is delicious and the portions are generous. For a weekend meal, consider making reservations because the restaurant fills quickly. We were pleased with our dinner selections and no one left hungry! The overall experience was so good, we agreed the Pazzo Pastaria would be our new favorite restaurant. PS.

“Tonight was our first time trying Annagio's. The food was amazing! We will be back!“

“Ava was our waitress and she was so knowledgeable and kind. She was funny and was patient with our big party, we will be requesting her section next time we’re in. Great food, great service she deserves 5 stars!“

“Everything was amazing from start to finish! Bella Sera on Pat Booker is an absolute gem. From the moment we sat down, we were impressed. The garlic knots came out warm and flavorful, perfectly setting the tone. The soup was rich and comforting, and the Caesar salad was crisp and fresh with just the right amount of dressing. I had the baked ziti for my entrée, and it was everything you want in classic Italian comfort food, cheesy, saucy, and satisfying. And to top it all off, the cannoli was perfection: crisp shell, creamy filling, just sweet enough. It was a wonderful combination of flavors and portions were so generous I had plenty to take home. Highly recommend, can’t wait to go back!“

“First time visiting... decided to grab the spaghetti dinner, a cold sub & cheesecake (to go)! Everything was DELICIOUS!!! So grateful to have spotted this GEM! Definitely returning to a new favorite spot!“

“First time trying this place and I’m glad that we did. The two of us got there around 4:00 for an early dinner. We were the only table for the roughly hour that we were there. The restaurant was clean, it is in need of a little updating; nothing major. Steve was our waiter and he gave us the best service that we have had in a long time. He was sincere in his actions. He made helpful suggestions on the food and he was spot on; my ice tea didn’t go empty(I drink a lot of ice tea)The food was great; everything including the salad dressing was home made. Our meal came with fresh baked rolls and a large dinner salad. I got the lasagna and it was good; literally bubbling cheese on top when it was served. It was a giant portion; I took about a third of it (and a couple dinner rolls home) and it was good the next day. We will definitely go back!“

“This is the best restaurant ever. The food is amazing and always good. The atmosphere is wonderful. The staff is friendly and always makes me feel welcome. It's like having dinner with your best friends. I highly recommend Pompeii Grill.“

“Jerry and Mary know how to cook great Pizza and Pasta! Best spaghetti and meatballs ever!“

“Hamdi made tonight our best experience ever to this location. She was kind and patient with my kids. She had a big smile the entire time and service was on point. She was very knowledgeable of the menu too. This location needs more employees like Hamdi.“

“Unbelievable place will come back“

“Absolutely best pizza on the north side! At least once a week our kids beg it. We got the pepperoni rolls today and they were so good! We love everything we order here! Staff is always welcoming and nice!“

“We went for lunch and it wasn't crowded. We got seated quickly to a perfect table in the corner. The server was pleasant and got the order correct. The timing was very good as we had time to talk, eat salad and bread sticks before the chicken parmesan came out. The food was the perfect temperature.“

“Best pizza in New Braunfels. The supreme pizza was indeed supreme and their pepperoni pizza rolls are the best I have ever had. I called in an order and it was delivered hot and fresh within 25 minutes. Courteous staff. Will be going back for more!“

“Amazing pizza, tried both the New York and Detroit style. Both styles were delicious and cooked to perfection. Also tried a order of the fresh cut fries, delicious!!
We ordered take out this time so we didn't get to enjoy the live music, definitely plan on going back when we can stay awhile.“

“Guys, I love you pizza. I love it because is my neighbor pizza, you guys are fast and the food is well priced. I'm only giving you 3 stars because lately your food has been inconsistent. Sometimes very little sauce or the sauce has very little flavor yet sometimes the pizza is delicious. Anyways I will update the stars on another day when I go eat your food ;)
Btw.....Brisket Pizza is my favorite 🤤“

“The pizza here is so delicious!! I love the honey bexar pizza and zeppoles. The young woman that rung me up I think her name was Maddie was soooo sweet. The girl with half blonde half brown hair was also very nice and brought my order out to me and made sure I was all good. Highly recommend this place. Also their gluten free pizzas are actually good!!“

“súper rico todo, un muy buen ambiente y el personal muy amable“

“Best Italian food in San Antonio!! It’s BYOB also right now until they get their liquor license, so you can bring your favorite wine or beer to enjoy with your meal. The pizzas are huge and the pasta is delicious.“

“We love parry’s in Cibolo ! Christian was our waiter this time around and he was absolutely fantastic. He was still new and for being a busy Friday night the service he provided was amazing. He even made it a point to ask if we preferred our child’s lemonade watered down a bit which as a parent.. having that suggested was wonderful. The bar was behind a bit but he made sure to up date us throughout our dinner without being too over bearing. Will absolutely return.“

“The staff is always wonderful and the food is delicious! We love coming here“

You can easily distinguish the quality of the ingredients, all meat is my favorite.
My daughter's enjoyed ham and pineapple.
Craft beer is served here, super cold and delicious.
This place is the best around

On Thursdays they have a group of friends that hangout to play Irish music. The combination is phenomenal. Live Irish music, pizza, beer“

“Great food! I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Awesome pizza, and the service was very nice. Kind of out of the way. But the pizza was worth it. Definitely give this place props, we try a lot of pizza places and this was in the top 5.
