12 Best Italian Restaurants near Penn Laird

“Amazing service and pizza. 🍕 The Greek salad is SO GOOD! Order extra Syrian bread. 😋“

“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.“

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

“Coming from out of town, we decided to stop at this Olive Garden, and I have to say, it turned out to be the best service experience I've ever had! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, but our server Ashlyn W. truly made the meal exceptional. She was incredibly attentive, checking up on us regularly without us asking, and always had a great attitude. It's clear she genuinely cares about the customers' experience.“

“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“

“Heather Chitthum , we are sorry you left in-content that evening…..my daughter was asking the questions she did to make sure your order was correct, would you have rather her get your order wrong and then you write a review and complain about it as well? Our menu changed in February not all servers have learned the menu 100% yet so excuse my daughter for asking your 8 year old daughter what her order is.My daughter was told to not make head gestures when she talks its a reaction she has not that she is trying to be rude.Now I have served you many times and give the best service that I can that night you were very rude to me and your husband did apologize for that and I apologized for the server as well.I don’t only speak for my daughter but every server here the menus are new and things are a little different if they ask questions it is to ensure orders are taken properly!“

“I had a perfect slice of pepperoni and green peppers. I asked for it to a little well done and got a crispy yet ight crust. The steak and cheese deluxe is also fabulous. Get the combo and upgrade to bacon cheese fries. You won’t regret it.“

“Father’s Day lunch at Brothers Italian Restaurant and Pizza , Harrisonburg VA was absolutely DELICIOUS! Best cheesesteak I’ve had in a while. Yummy garlic knots & fried mushrooms. All the pasta dishes came out hot and flavorful. The tiramisu and zeppole desserts were freshly made & super good. Our waiter William was very attentive and nice. We spoke to the owner and he was very welcoming too. We will definitely come back again.“

“We just ate dinner here and we were all so impressed. Every single thing was delicious - from the fresh salads and dressing, the fresh garlic bread, the soups to our entrees. We all had something different and it was all amazing. Everything tasted homemade. Service was excellent and fast. This was hands down our favorite place that we dined at in the area. I really wish we had something this good where I live! Save yourself a trip to Olive Garden and eat here instead! You won’t regret it!“

“Stopped by for the first time when coming to town from Staunton. Service was excellent and the food was fantastic. I got the Steak and cheese deluxe and the wife got an Italian Sausage Parmigiana. Both sandwiches were delicious and the staff treated us great. If you’re trying to decide on what Italian place in Harrisonburg to eat at, this is the one! We will be back next time we come to the area!“

“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.“
