Italian Restaurants near Lake Ridge

“Parking: It's in a shopping center and has plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: They are friendly to everyone.Wheelchair accessibility: There is one door that will be a challenge but otherwise, if needed, they are happy to bring the food to the car (curbside pickup) if requested.“

“Great service, outstanding ambiance, fantastic food. Visited for the first time recently with a party of four and sat out in the courtyard. We started with arancini, bruschetta, and truffle bread. The arancini are medium sized, you get 5 and they are awesome. The bread starters were good but not as mind blowing as the rest of the meal. The highlight was my entree, ricotta stuffed gnocchi. I would really find it hard to order anything else here, they are that good. Teardrop shaped and pillowy served with a creamy sun dried tomato sauce. Sooo good. I was contemplating between the gnocchi and blue crab bucatini. Both are probably a win.“

“Such a nice ambiance. Servers were attentive and food came quickly. There was so many pastas to choose from there's definitely something for everybody. I kinda got decision paralysis from the options but I got the squid ink pasta (spaghetti Neri) and loved it. I think it tasted the best out of our group's dishes and was complex and delicious although the tagliolini Al funghi was a close second. My partner got the short rib ravioli and we both didn't really like it. It was quite salty in some bites and lacked savory-ness in others. We didn't get to try appetizers or try the cheese wheel as we went on a Tuesday but will definitely come back to try those ! Overall we had a great time. Also for parking there's free parking in the garage and this place is located in the hotel.“

“Nice,clean,fast and efficient,very modern and newly painted interior design one of the cleanest Pizza Boli’s out there with good food and customer service I used to work in Maryland as a commercial painter and I used to eat pizza Boli’s for lunch very often but nothing can compare to this branch very well established and “

“Our favorite pizza! DELICIOUS non-chain pizza reasonably priced. We always get the family deal that comes with a free small pizza. Even their cheese pizzas are delicious. The crust is crispy and their toppings are fresh and just the right amount.“

“MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE ENTIRE STAFF AT MAGGIANO’s, SPRINGFIELD, VA! There are not enough word in the dictionary to describe my experience in Maggiano’s! From the time I make reservations through walking through the front door of the restaurant, the service, the managers, the chef, the food, to serving the BEST ITALIAN CUISINE SINCE ITALY, and cleanliness in the restrooms. Look, I live in Old Town Alexandria, VA, where there are some of the best Italian restaurants on the East Coast but those restaurants do not compare to my Maggiano’s. I seriously have to drive out of my way, Springfield, to get the Best Italian on the East Coast. It’s worth every second. The cuisine inside this Maggiano’s tastes exactly like my Italian grandparent’s cooked it. I frequent this restaurant at least once or twice a week. Thank you Mo, (manager), Jessie (server), and the rest of the staff at my Maggiano’s! Dana Neese, 12-23-2023.“

“We need more non-corporate places in Woodbridge. This place fits the bill. Has a neighborhood feel with personality, not trendy rather a down to earth place with honest portion sizes. I believe it is mostly family run. While we dined a family filled up a large table beside us and were speaking Italian, which is a welcomed experience in a world filled with Olive Gardens. Husband had no complaint with his pizza and he is a bit of a pizza connoisseur. My Chicken Florentine was liberally stuffed and the sauce extremely rich and flavorful. The times we have gone there several families were dining, but a comfort place for couples, too. Hope this restaurant continues to thrive“

“I stopped in to get a little taste of Italy! The venture was very successful!I truly enjoyed my visit, the people are here are wonderful and very appreciative of your patronage!The food and wine were delicious and the dessert was nothing short of amazing!So make a special trip to DRoccos!You will be very happy!The place is fairly small but it has a delicious deck overlooking the river for nice days!CuteRomanticWarmDeliciousThese are the words I would use to describe this cozy place!“

“Been searching for a pizza place for 2 years. Stumbled across this gem. Best white pizza around. Only critique is that while the crust is great, it’s very floppy. A good NY style pizza has a nice solid base even with lots of toppings on it. And I love the amount of toppings this place puts on the pizza. You definitely have that down. And the sauce that comes with that delicious cheesy bread, is to die for. I know now to order extra. Best best best best pizza in the area if you’re from NY like me and miss a good tasting crust, sauce, and piled with toppings. ?“

“Just an amazing beautiful atmosphere, with exquisite service and wonderful authentic Italian cuisine. Owner is an awesome person who will greet you personally and check in on you and your guests pro actively. The waiters are courteous and on top of everything. I wish I could dine there every night! I will definitely go back.“

“Yesterday, the kids said they wanted to eat pizza, so I went there. I ate it at the store, but it was Supreme?? I think I ate a medium pizza, but it was really delicious and they were very kind. I accidentally spilled water on it, but they said it was okay and wiped it up, and they were really kind to the kids. It was a delicious meal and a great day. Thank you.“

“I’ve been here in the past and before the new owners. The new owners/chef are excellent! It’s a cute, small, family owned restaurant with a cozy vibe. You feel like you’re at their house and they’re hosting you. Highly recommend!! I love the moussaka and falafel pita :)“

“Villa Bella is such an amazing restaurant. It can be difficult to get a reservation here as it is really popular in the Burke area, but that's because it is such a unique spot. I love the wood-fired pizzas from here because this style adds to the crispiness of the pizza crust. Calamari fritti is nice and airy, unlike many places where they sometimes make the appetizer too dense or oily. Reasonable amount of salt in the calamari fritti, which impresses me because I don't find that often in the calamari I've gotten from other Italian restaurants. The fried mozzarella and arancini are also some must-haves. Before eating here, I used to not like arancini, but this place has converted me into someone who loves arancini.With pasta dishes, some of my personal favorites are the ziti alla Paesana, manicotti, and ravioli. Their chicken parm pasta is also really good.This cozy restaurant nestled in Burke definitely sets the bar high for Italian food in the DMV and has personally elevated my palate on Italian cuisine. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, and even a faraway drive is worth it in my opinion. I definitely hope to come back here.“

“Our family had a wonderful dinner together. The staff is amazing and the food is delicious. From the time we walked in to the time the door closed behind us the staff was so friendly and inviting. We look forward to going back because of that and they have so many amazing dishes to try. It’s a treat to go to Giardinos. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“First-time customer and did call-for-pickup (ready in 20 mins); arrived and young gentleman immediately greated me and surprisingly apologized to me, that my 12" pizza wasnt ready and needed 10 mins. Appreciated his honesty and sincere customer service (kinda rare these days) offering me a drink and dessert on-the-house. No issues on my end taking time for quality food and service. btw, tasty pizza and philly-cheese + great fries (light+crispy) + tiramasu! we'll be back!!!“

“I have lived for 28 years on this planet and have had onion rings from an incalculable number of restaurants. I say with complete confidence that Milano's has the perfect onion rings and I can not even imagine any way to improve them. They are big, bready, and crispy with healthy sized onions, just like you would expect from an American grill style restaurant (obviously they aren't an American restaurant, but they do American food very well). But the onion is cooked to perfection and will bite cleanly instead of sliding out and falling apart the first time you rip into it. The outer breading is perfectly fried, but not too oily and maintains its structure. The ability for a kitchen to take a mundane food purchasable anywhere and execute it perfectly is a great sign of a highly skilled staff in my opinion. I live next-door to this place and eat there very regularly. Everything else on the menu is top-notch as well, the whole menu feels very family-recipe style. This is always my go-to spot when I'm feeling sick, it is fantastic comfort food. Their pizza is definitely the best in the neighborhood, although there are a few other joints in Springfield that give them a run for their money.“

“I ordered wings, boneless wings, fries, and pizza. The wings were very large, meaty, and delicious! The hot buffalo sauce was just the right amount. It could have been a bit spicier but then I love my food SPICY! The boneless wings were delicious and very juicy. The pizza was the best I've had in a while and definitely the best in Burke. Our food was delivered quickly and still hot. Overall it was a very good surprise - definitely exceeded what I was expecting (based on my experience with Pisano's in Alexandria and Pisano's in Bailey's Crossroads). Writing this review has got me craving Burke Pisano's pizza... gotta go and order me one!“

“Great place with excellent food. Always great staff that remembers the regulars. Highly recommend, local establishment that also gives back to different charities each month during the last Monday. Worth the stop.Vegetarian options: They just started offering the vegetarian menu. Being Celiac, usually go with vegetarian menu to be safer. Limited and they didn't have tofu because no one has been ordering it. More people order it, may be able to keep it on hand.“

“Our server Neil was phenomenal, very attentive and kind to our baby. We had the chicken parm, steak sub and salmon dishes and all were great. The green beans on the salmon plate were a little Al dente for me but I still think the whole thing was good. Would absolutely recommend!“

“I would like to give a HUGE shout out to Brothers Encore restaurant on Waterway Drive.I had planned a 40th birthday party planned for my husband with 22 guests last night.We had a reservation at the Montair Country Club.When we arrived at 6pm, the entire club was shut, locked, and lights out (despite a lunchtime call that they'd be open and had our birthday booking). We received no phone call that the club would be closed.From the carpark, I had to phone around town and re-route our guests to Brothers Encore.The manager Tara was exceptional dealing with me being flustered and fitting our party of 22 in the restaurant. The food was great and atmosphere fun.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Brothers Encore.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#shoutout #brothersencore“

“This is a neat small pizza joint chain that you will find in a small strip mall with limited parking around it. They have tables and chairs set up outside, in teh front of the restaurant that customers can eat at. They also have a very small dining area, with a few tables, that you can eat at as well. It is more like a carryout joint with some seating thrown in. In addition to some traditional and exotic pizzas, they also serve subs, cheesesteaks, sandwiches, salads, wings, fries and a few sweet treats. They also have chips and bottled drinks that you can purchase. The staff there was friendly enough. My interaction with them was limited though. You can make your order online, over the phone, at the counter or use the self serve kiosk. I used the kiosk to order an Island Time Pizza. It was ready in about 10 minutes. I ate it in the restaurant's dining area. It was fresh, hot and very tasty. It had a unique and distinct flavor. I recomend checking this place out for a pie to go or dining in. They have some really unique and exotic signature pies to choose from and they also have the traditional favorites as well. Bon appetite.“

“We were just there last weekend, and our family has been going to brunch there for many years. We usually have an omelet with home fries and toast or waffles deluxe with eggs, sausage or bacon and have never been disappointed. And note that the homemade baklava and the tiramisu are delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, we are usually waited on quickly and the staff is friendly, warm and responsive.“

“Thank you, Makayia for a most enjoyable dining experience recently. You were outstanding!! So kind, attentive, a friendly smile and helpful with the menu and servicing our group of 5 w/2 children ages 3 and 5! Your service was perfect and Carrabba is fortunate to have you!! Hope to see you next time - we'll certainly ask for you!!“

“Came in for an order of Chicken Knocci soup for the first in a while. The phone support was great, as was the on-site service. Each representative was attentive, nice, and professional. The greeter opened the door for me with a smile. My wait was about 5-6 minutes past my scheduled pickup, but I didn't mind the wait. I took off a star because they no longer include breadsticks with soup orders. Salads get bottomless breadsticks, as does just about any other Olive Garden meal... except for a $21 bowl of soup. :|“

“DON’T RECOMMEND! We ordered a pizza for pickup. They didn’t mention that they were down an oven. My husband waited at the store for 1/2 hour, only to find out that they had cancelled our order. Not even an apology. We’ve been fairly regular customers for years and we try to shop small business, but never again.“

“We had an order placed with Dominos and they were so backed up that it would not be ready in time. Little Caesars to the rescue. I walked in, ordered at the counter and walked out less than 15 minutes later with 4 piping hot pizzas. I didn't eat them all myself, but what I had was delicious. I had to remind myself of an upcoming beach trip in order to stop myself from eating the whole pizza.“

“I came in ad hoc as I needed to do some things in the area on a weekday morning. It’s a small deli with very limited seating. The employee/owner was friendly. The portioning was great in the sub but I felt that it didn’t have as much flavor as it should, maybe more oil/seasoning would’ve made it better. I paid almost $20 for a 12” spicy Italian with a bag of chips which I also thought was pretty expensive. Overall I’d come back to try their other stuff but probably won’t go for their subs again.“

“Ordered delivery from our Hilton hotel, and wow, a very positive experience. We enjoyed greek salads and a delicious thin crust pizza. They were courteous when we ordered (an on the side kind of people), and the delivery was super! Our dinner was great! Recommend!“

“I've ordered from them for years, from work and for 10 plus people. The food is amazing and my last order did not go through on the online delivery service. The staff went out of their way to contact me that the order had gone through, persisted in getting to me and had stellar customer service! Would order from them again and would highly recommend to anyone!Vegetarian options: Eggplant Parmesan was greatParking: Always several spots“

“Absolutely great experience every time we order. We had pizza only and their Garlic Spinach Cauliflower Crust pizza is the best! Gluten free options. We are very picky about pizza and theirs tastes best. Family operated. Great customer service. Thank you!!“

“I went here with my pops (Dad) we are from LA and are of Mexican descent. Food was good, my shrimp was slightly over cooked by a minute but no biggy, flavor was there. I'm being picky. There's no chips and salsa like other Mexican restaurants and the rice with my dish had peas and carrots, rice was a tan color which from my experience isn't Mexican rice. The pupusa masa came with my shrimp which was bomb. So with that said I think it's more of a Salvadoran restaurant. I haven't had much else but my first experience was good.“
