20 Best Italian Restaurants in Roanoke

“It was a beautiful building inside and out. I loved the open kitchen atmosphere. Joe and his wife were wonderful! We got our pizza extra crispy and it was awesome! Crisp throughout every bite. Such a family atmosphere! We will be back! Ciao for now.“

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. This was the best meal (meals-I ordered several items to go as well) I have had since, well, EVER... It is a week later and their food still tastes amazing. There was a small error made by myself and a server helping out while I was there. It was quick, and without any negative discussion, corrected. The staff, cleanliness of the restaurant, and food were all wonderful. Thank you everyone, it was an experience I will never forget.“

“Samantha is a wonderful waitress, exceptional service !!“

“We went here for our church Ladies Luncheon. It was wonderful!! The staff is top notch and the food is wonderful!! Thank you for giving us a fabulous luncheon!! Definitely recommend for your next gathering.“

“Staff is kind and attentive! Wonderful customer service especially from the waitress Ariel. Very speedy with drink refills and making sure everything is good. Food is tasty and I especially loved the classic club. This place isn’t just good for pizza!! Has many options. Will definitely come again soon!“

“The food & service were outstanding. Great place to dine“

“We had the best experience at Bobby’s Hot and Cheesy. I asked our waiter about the possibility of a keto option for pizza. Most places would’ve quickly said no. Our amazing waiter, Myles Omley, checked with the kitchen staff and Michelle made it happen! The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and my dining experience was tailored to my needs. You can’t ask for better than that!“

“I placed a special order for their cannolis after various recommendations and they were beyond a hit! What a great pair of owners in a quaint spot in downtown Roanoke. Extremely reasonably priced for amazing, fresh, handmade, REAL food. I will definitely return to try more!“

“What a lovely experience. Stopped in and had two fantastic cocktails. Dark rum and gin. Who ever is designing their menu has a varried pallet and knows flavor. Our bartender was kind and very engaging. I highly recommend stopping by while visiting Roanoke.“

“They have very good Chicago pizza. It’s the best pizza I have ever had. Best place to order pizza from in my opinion. Get the Chicago. It will make you smack your grandma.“

“Food was good, but the chicken gnocchi soup was salty today. I went back to Olive Garden and was very happy. I tried something new today. The Calabrian Steak and Shrimp Bucatini was wonderful! The medium heat from the sauce didn't bother me at all! The pumpkin butter cookie cheesecake topped everything off as my dessert. I had a great experience here. I encountered very friendly staff and wonderful service. The atmosphere was great!“

“The best pizza in town. I was blown away. I grew up with parents that are from New York. This pizza reminds them of home, and they never say that. It’s legit. Don’t waste your money anywhere else.“

“We love this place 🫶🏻👏🏻! Amazing staff always.“

“I have to say I was disappointed tonight. I’ve been eating here for quite some time, but I must mention how awful the owner was to his staff. I overheard him belittle his staff on numerous occasions. He made a comment that if he had to be there, they were going to feel it. He called one of the staff junior a few times. A staff person brought him more of those little oil dishes, and he snapped that he didn’t need those. He seemed intoxicated by hugging on one of the cooks. There are plenty of other places to eat without having to watch this “show”.“

“Me and my girlfriend started coming here at Christmas time! We love the food. She and I love to get up and dance like we're at a dinner and a show. I highly recommend trying the garlic tater tots on the appitizer. OH MY GOSH they are the BEST tater tots I ever had. PLEASE try them if you like tater tots. We started coming here since after the start of 2025 to celebrate Christmas.“

“Love Uncle D's for lunch but honestly have not had anything I would not order again. Friendly staff and great service. Delicious food great selection - Classic Americana home cooking.“

“Pizza is amazing and it will definitely be a stop every time I visit my daughter“

“Great Italian grinder! Delicious!“

“My husband and I got the little buffet while there. Everything seemed pretty average. I didn't get the spaghetti and meatballs but my husband did. He said the sauce was just ok and the meatballs were a little bland. I noticed the garlic knots were very dense. Over all not a bad experience.“

“The owner is a true Italian and does it right. He uses fresh ingredients and is not lacking on portion size. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious and I plan on trying many other things.“
