32 Best Italian Restaurants in Fredericksburg

“Orofino is single-handedly the best restaurant in Fredericksburg. The food is all one of a kind, homemade recipes. The specialties are always delicious, and their self labeled wine is a must as a house warming gift or a bottle (or two) for the table. Honestly, it’s where I recommend everyone goes if they’re looking to try something new. You’ll never have to look for another restaurant after going.“

“I recently had lunch at Bello Manzo with 12 friends. The service was courteous & friendly, even accommodating those with mobility issues.We ordered a variety of dishes & were all pleased with the exceptional flavors & presentation of each selection. It was an A+ dining experience; highly recommended.“

“I haven’t been here in years & now I’m wondering why. The place is so cute & clean, literally EVERY employee greeted us with a smile, they were super patient while we decided what to order, everything came out quickly & everything was SCRUMPTIOUS. I ordered a Chipotle Chicken Sandwich w potato salad & added a side salad with Greek dressing that came with a roll. Portions were amazing & everything was fresh. My husband got the Cobb Salad…everything from the lettuce to the avocado was so fresh! My little one got the chicken tenders and what tasted like homemade apple sauce? Then of course we got desserts to go. We will def be back! So impressed.“

“MacKenzie is a fantastic server! We will definitely ask for her when we return. She was so attentive and sweet. The food was great as usual.“

“We went to the restaurant for the first time and ordered a cocktail , 2 appetizers and 3 small plates for a variety. Was very happy with the food and the professionalism of everyone that worked there. Looking forward to going back to try other items.“

“Beautiful restaurant. Host that greeted us was very pleasant and his customer service was right on point. We were seated and greeted by our waitress, Traci. She was wonderful from start to finish. Very personable and just all around great at what she does. Wish I could give more than 5 stars for this experience because it exceeded my expectations for sure.“

“We had our son’s celebration of life in the wine cellar last night and everything was so perfect! The server, bartender and staff were amazing. The food was great! Thank you for making our boy’s celebration perfect ❤️“

“We decided to stop in after some late shopping, and this turned out to be the best service we’ve ever had at an Olive Garden—and honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had at any restaurant.

Our waitress, Kaela, was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, kind, and made us feel like family. On top of that, several other servers pitched in throughout our meal, bringing food, refilling drinks, and checking in on us, which made the service feel seamless.

The only hiccup was when my daughter found a small piece of foil in her food. But instead of this being a negative, the way it was handled turned it into a positive. As soon as I told Kaela, she was genuinely upset on our behalf and immediately took action. Shortly after, the manager Madison came over, apologized sincerely, and even explained what might have caused it. She comped my daughter’s meal, offered a replacement, and then surprised us with a $25 gift card for the inconvenience. When the new meal arrived, Madison personally delivered it—complete with extra grapes, which made my daughter’s night.

To top it all off, when we were packing up leftovers, Kaela overheard my daughter say she wanted the salad (even though I declined a box). Instead of just sending it as-is, she came back with a perfectly packed to-go serving with everything separated so it would stay fresh. That level of thoughtfulness goes above and beyond.

Despite the small issue with the meal, this was by far the best Olive Garden experience we’ve ever had. We will absolutely be back—and when we do, we’ll be asking for Kaela every time!“

“Went there two times only. We’re looking for a good pizza spot. But found not just a delicious pizza but also a gyro. Pizza size might not be the biggest but the flavor is definitely there. Same can be said about gyro - it’s really really good. Definitely coming back soon!“

“The steak and cheese is delicious, as are the onion rings. We’ve always had great service and they are always very friendly. The food always comes fast. They even remember our order just by my voice and what I order. We’ve eaten there for over 25 years. I definitely recommend them.“

“Best pizza ever, best food and best people!“

“absolutely the best Mediterranean food I've had. you must get the hummus and tambourine. the gyro platter was scrumptious. dessert, baklava. yummy. thank you for the wonderful hospitality and good food.“

“Fantastic selection of wines, and knowledgeable and friendly staff make this a must-visit in downtown Fredericksburg.“

“Primo Pizza on tidewater trail is the best! They have the freshest garden salads with their entrees, they're chicken alfredo is top notch, the alfredo sauce is beyond!! The other week I had a steak and cheese....delicious!! And everyone that works there is super helpful and friendly. (Plus their ladies restroom is VERY clean.)“

“Delicious pizza, quick friendly service. We had a lovely lunch there.“

“Order was delivered early by Uber Eats, wings were great, my Italian fiancée loved the baklava, he said it was the best he ever had and he loves his sweets!!“

“La Delizia Pizza has the best Italian food I have had. I won't say much, other than you are missing out if you have not checked them out. Thank me later.“

“great service, very very friendly and the pizza was amazing!“

“Today, Paradise Diner was so busy for Mother’s Day. The staff stayed smiling even though they were constantly moving and the food was great as always. Thank you for accommodating so many!“

“We ordered food tonight from Primavera Pizzeria and Grill forgetting it was Superbowl Sunday. Not only did our food come within 30 minutes, but it was delicious as usual! The bacon cheese fries had so much cheese on them just the way I like it. I tried the rosemary chicken panini this time and it was delicious!“

“A single man was running the whole operation when I went with my best friend yesterday and despite being busy, he was so friendly and kind. I wish I had gotten his name to thank him for his amazing service! I’m also gluten-intolerant and their gluten-free pizza was probably the BEST I have ever had. I will be coming back way more often.“

“I had ordered online from their website and since they were busy they had doordash deliver it. Well. Doordash didn't contact me or knock on my door. They just set it on the floor and it probably sat there for about a half hour before I realized it was there and it was cold and nasty. Well I called the store and the person on the phone had the manager call me back immediately. She was a very nice lady and she went above and beyond and had my order remade and delivered to me by an in-house delivery driver. It got here fast. It was steaming hot and I was thoroughly happy with my order I appreciate the great customer service will definitely be ordering again“

“I am hooked. I haven't picked a bad yet, and I am here at least once a week. No, the food is not the best food I ever tasted. But for the amount, care, and overall taste. There's not a better deal around. I wish this location was in my home city. For $30 plus tip, I can get 4 different meals that last me three days. Thank you very much.“

“I had a pizza that was delicious and husband had wings that he said were best he’s had in a long time! Highly recommend Marco’s!“

“We had our son’s celebration of life in the wine cellar last night and everything was so perfect! The server, bartender and staff were amazing. The food was great! Thank you for making our boy’s celebration perfect ❤️“

“I ordered a large deluxe pizza from this location, with garlic bites. The food arrived on time and hot, cheeses still melted. The ingredients were pretty good. I liked the crust. Worth a call if you’re hungry. Even better yet, they deliver without making you pay a third party a big delivery charge. The driver was prompt, and friendly.“

“Our Sunday lunch many weeks! Belly Buster Stromboli and blackened tilapia are our favorites!“

“Take-out/delivery-only pizza place. Obviously family-run. Not Michelin star pizza, but delicious, inexpensive, quick, friendly service. I love their sauce and crispy, thicker crust. Yummy for a shopping-center pizza place. Recommend for a quick stop, which also has good deals/specials.“
