17 Best Italian Restaurants near Riverdale

“This OG was On Point.
Pretty busy Labor Day lunch with the AYCE special going on. Told it'd be a 10-15 minute wait, 8 minutes.
Our server Marina was flawless in her service in every way. Every server I observed was the same.
Salad and breadsticks came out fast and fresh. Our food was out after just enough time to eat our salad, and it was Delicious.
The rest of our visit followed these standards, and I know that this store must have a Manager that really takes ownership of their store. From training through cleanliness and everything in-between, that was the best experience I've had at any OG. Thank you for a great lunch.“

“First time here and was totally happy with the entire visit from service, food, and atmosphere. The server was on point there when needed and disappeared out of sight. The music was great for the environment not to loud to interrupt our conversation. The food was great from the bread to the main course. The Lasagna was amazing recommend it to anyone. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their food and we definitely did too. The food was well worth the price and again recommend all to try this place out. Will be back in the future“

“Authentic Italian. Meatball Parmesan was amazing. Pizza too. Oh, and the cheesecake!“

“As a former Chicagoan who has spent over 20 years searching for a decent pizza in Utah, I had almost given up hope of finding anything that could satisfy my deprived heart. Enter Taboo Pizzaria, a local gem I stumbled upon just last year... although not Chicago pizza, it’s been an absolute game-changer for me. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. But the real magic begins when the pizza arrives. The crust strikes the perfect balance - crispy on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside. The sauce, bold and vibrant, is clearly made with love, and the cheese? Melted to perfection, stretching with every bite like a scene straight out of my pizza dreams! Lol! Their menu offers a variety of creative, mouthwatering options, but you truly can’t go wrong with a large, extra marinara, spicy sausage, pepperoni, green olive and jalapeño pizza. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that proves Taboo Pizzaria isn’t afraid to break the mold while staying true to what makes pizza such a beloved comfort food. Taboo Pizzaria has restored my faith in Utah's pizza scene, and it’s become my go-to spot whenever I need a taste of something extraordinary. If you’re on the hunt for pizza that’s anything but ordinary, give Taboo Pizzaria a try. You won’t regret it! :)“

“My husband and I wanted to try a new restaurant for dinner tonight! We decided to give Napolis a try, we were not disappointed.. We were seated almost immediately and the service was great! We were greeted served drinks and fresh hot bread within 5 minutes of sitting down! The food was delicious and hot! The portion sizes were great and the prices reflect accordingly! Growing up with Italian grandparents and having authentic Italian food all the time, I tend to be a “ snob” about Italian food.. Napolis did not disappoint! If you’re looking for fast service, hot fresh food and great pasta.. I’d give this place a try!“

“We had a great lunch today! All the food was good and the staff were friendly and fun! We will definitely be back!“

“I was pleasantly surprised when they offered us a free dessert because we had to wait an extra 2 minutes for our server to come to our table. I didn't think it was too long of a wait, but I appreciate their efforts to serve us the best they could given how busy it was.“

“Best pizza in Utah! The salads are delicious. The service is fantastic!“

“The food is amazing. The owner truly cares about her customers. The staff was slow and didn’t greet us. I will definitely go back, only because the owner cares and will make things better if you have a bad experience.“

“Their food is decent but I used to work there 20+ years ago. the one thing that keeps me coming back is their meatball sub. Imo it is the best meatball sub you can get. Over the years they have made it smaller and thats why it gets 4 stars instead of the 5 stars the sub deserves. Bring back the bigger sub I'll even pay more!“

“Love the pizza! The delux is amazing! Fast delivery also!“

“the place is amazing the products are phenomenal they have fairly decent prices and the best part is fantastic customer service I'd recommend them to anyone“

“good food,great atmosphere friendly folk“

“This is everything you could ask for from a neighborhood bar. The food is alright, I recommend getting an Idahoan to snack on. The beer is great and the conversations/people are wonderful. This is the Cheers of Layton Utah. Everything here is a lot cheaper than you can find anywhere else. A few hours of drinking for two people plus an appetizer was only about 40 after tip. It is worth noting that the bar does not serve liquor, only beer and canned seltzers. I will certainly be back.“

“Z Brothers pizza discriminated against an disabled employee. The manager short lady short hair at the Layton store sent a disabled employee explicit videos while at work 2025. this employee never asked for it which she claims this employee "begged her" to send it which was a complete abhorrent lie. this employee asked the owners Matt and Jake Thompson for a meeting about the disgusting video and disability accommodations from a Doictor note. they determined to let "bygones be bygones" And that "life isn't dair!" and do nothing about it. the manager completely lied about it, and other incidents of harassment directed to the former disabled employee. gas lighting them to take all the blame so the manager would avoid any responsibility. This former employee filed a case with the Utah Labor Commission and the EEOC which is still in litigation as of 2026. another former employee saw the manager talking with employees about private medical information about this employees disabilities. another employee who was discovered smoking weed in the restaurants bathroom while at work in the Layton store and would come to work under the influence on several occasions. That employee is now charged with a crime as of February 2026 for threatening this former employee about what the manager told them about the case. The owners Matt and Jake Thompson continued to look the other way of the managers despicable lies about the former employee and believe these despicable lies. the owner Matt Thompson verbally harassed and retaliated against this employee calling them " the worst person they have ever met" and is recorded in a lengthy phone call. the Utah Labor Commission and EEOC case is ongoing and will continue through June 2026 potentially further. the owners need to be held accountable for disability discrimination retaliation and harm caused by the Layton store manager.“

“I like the Pesto chicken & sun-dried tomato penne pasta dish from here. I can't eat the full size it would feed me for 4 meals. The small is still SO FILLING! My son loves their pizza and breadtwists. The cinnamon/sugar breadtwists are always a hit for my kiddo. The atmosphere is good. I prefer to get ours to-go.“
