12 Best Italian Restaurants near Harrisonburg

“Good food, good service. Clean and neat! Highly recommend“

“We had dinner here on Mon. 9/12/22 5pm. This restaurant was recommended by our hotel, Double Tree by Hilton. Their courtesy car driver was familiar with the location near James Madison U. and brought us there in 10 min. We also checked out their website ahead. Well Monday Pasta Special was just what we were looking for after a day of exploring. For $10.95 you can choose from 6 pastas, 6 sauces, & your choice of two toppings from 25+ choices of meat, olives, peppers, cheese, etc (think pizza toppings). And if that's not enough incentive also on Mondays it's 1/2 off bottles of vino. What's not to like? Vito's is not a chain. This is authentic cooked to order Italian fare. There are specials on every day. They also have a market & deli next door. We sat at the bar and ordered a beer ($6) & a wine ($7) while make our dinner choices. My bride had angel hair pasta w/ pesto, chicken & fresh mozzarella. The portion was full dinner size & she took more than half back to our room. I had bucatini w/ spicy marinara, sweet Italian sausage, & kalamata olives. Again a generous portion. Very tasty marinara & al dente pasta. Full disclosure: I ate in all. LOL. It was a great first impression at Vito's. Our service was excellent. Bartender T was always checking on us even while cashing out all the take away orders. Very busy place on this Monday. It seems that they have built a brand and customer loyalty because of the food & the service. Specials everyday for lunch & dinner. Can place orders online and JMU students can use their JAC meal cards there also. Hours: WED-MON 11am-10pm, closed TUE. Happy Hour 3-6pm. A good recommendation for a great place to dine while travelling. Hope to see you the next time we're in VA. Thank you. Ciao. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY“

“Brother's Italian Restaurant is amazing! The food is always delicious and the owner and staff are so accommodating! We placed a large order for the TA girls basketball team and the owner went above and beyond for us! We are so appreciative and look forward to our next visit there :)“

“Amazing home made bread, appetizers are delectable; as for main courses they were top notched. We tried chicken and loved it; salmon pasta which kids devoured them in no time. I also enjoyed the cocktails. I would bring relatives and friends back here next time we are near this neighborhood.“

“Found this diner while staying at Massanutten. We had a cup of soup, the tuna salad plate which had tuna, potato salad and Cole slaw over lettuce with tomatoes and cukes, and four wedges of pita bread. Very filling and good. Also, crab cake sandwich, which was huge filling the deli roll, with lettuce and tomato. Service was great. The dining area was clean and bright. We will definitely visit again.“

“Let me tell you how it really is at Little Italy. This may not be everybody’s experience, but this is mine after years of going there. I walk in, throw two fingers up to the cook, and he already knows — two cheese slices, not reheated, boxed up and ready to go. By the time I make it to the register, the server is already ringing me up, and before the transaction is even finished, the pizza is sitting in a box behind her waiting on me. She hands me my change, grabs the box, and I’m out the door in about 30 seconds flat. You tell me where else you can get that kind of speed and consistency. That’s the kind of relationship and service you build over years of being a loyal customer.“

“Everyone there was so nice , and the pizzoli!!! Annnnnd the pizza bowl !!!! It’s hard to choose which one !! Great addition to Harrisonburg 👏“

“New update - we gave it another try. It's nack to super tasty pizza again!

Really tasty pizza initially --- it was our go to. The last 3 orders were a total disappointment. They were either late (due to issues with ordering online via their website), missing a topping, sloppy, or burnt. On the plus side, the staff is always really nice.“

“We had a wonderful experience and the food was delicious. My husband is Italian and he said the meatballs were some of the best he has had.“

“The staff answering the phone were extremely kind, and the veggie pita and fries I got to go were fresh and hot. It was a very pleasant experience and a very satisfying meal.“

“You can build your own pizza or choose one from their menu. The menu selections are interesting! We each tried a different one (Buffalo chicken and hot honey pepperoni) - both were delicious! Would definitely eat here again. Very casual atmosphere but yummy food.“

“We stopped by for a late lunch and we're not disappointed!
My kids are still talking about how our incredible server memorized orders for a party of nine without writing a single note.
Service was fast and friendly.
We ordered a variety of menu items and we were not disappointed. We hope to return soon!“
