18 Best Italian Restaurants near Lakewood

“It is like a fine food restaurant with affordable prices! I’ve been here 3 times and enjoyed everything I ordered! Limited Hours and Days, Reservations can be made 30 days in advance and the website it very informative. I found it by searching “Rainier Room” and it is at Clover Park Technical College.“

“Such good pizza, we always have a wonderful experience here. Its hard to explore the menu when even a plain cheese or pepperoni is packed with flavor. Buttery delicious crust and i usually hate red sauce but their sauce is so tasty! I always recommend this place to people in the mood for pizza.“

“I had been craving spaghetti with marinara and meatballs. I had been up since 4 am and had worked all day long. A meeting after work and it turned into a 11 hour day.
It was about 8pm (an hour before closing) when I walked into Casa Mia.
The place was sparsly filled with customers. Only 2 other tables had customers.
I ordered without really looking at the menu.
The staff was right on time. My dinner came quickly. I was very full when I left.
Have you ever had a meal that is so satisfying that you'll remember it for a very long time. I had one as Casa Mia. Seriously lol at that plate!“

“I normally don’t review a restaurant after one visit, but Marzano was exceptional. It’s an approachable fine dining experience. The staff was great, and definitely give the impression that they genuinely care about your visit. We took a chance on the appetizer special, and were very happy that we stepped outside our comfort zone (Traditional Venetian antipasto of marinated salt cod on squid ink polenta cakes paired with whipped ciccione crostini, sour cherries and hazelnuts). The lasagna bolognese and carbonara were absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last. I’ve never had better.“

“We were seated minutes after arriving. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and skilled. Our server knew everything about the menu and handled our dietary restrictions with aplomb. The food was outstanding. (Wish I knew how to prepare a pork chop like that!) The dining area was inviting with exposed steel, brick, and wood floors. However, I miss the days when I could be heard across the table without shouting. Overall, a great experience. We will be back.“

“Phenomenal food! Cheesy bread twists are definitely a must as well. Best pizza i have ever had and the customer service/attentiveness is top notch definitely 5 ⭐️“

“We were greeted and seated with no reservation. Service and food were impeccable. SJ“

“if Kenzie is your server, you'll have the best service around. Its rare nowadays to find a good waitress that actually dererves the tips. She blew both me and my party away with how friendly she was! 10/10. She 100% deserves recognition!“

“Today was our first visit. The staff were professional and courteous. The food excellent. Thank you Tucker for a great 1st visit !!! SJ“

“Our server was Armani. He was so kind and is really good at his job. He deserves either a raise, bonus, and or promotion. He went above and beyond, and that is why we will be coming back again to this location.🙂

Memo aka Guillermo was also amazing. So kind even though it was so late. Gave his all. Made sure we had everything! He deserves a raise!“

“Half Pint is a perfect little dive bar pizza place! Such a fun hangout spot, and trivia on Thursdays at 8!“

“West 122 is an absolute gem! The steak and lamb were beyond incredible—perfectly cooked, tender, and truly melted in our mouths. It was such a pleasure meeting Executive Chef Keno and bartender David. Both were exceptionally engaging, offering thoughtful guidance on our food and drink selections. I enjoyed a perfectly paired wine, while my husband savored a fine whiskey—both recommendations were spot on! The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. West 122 has certainly set the bar high, and it’s definitely a place we will revisit!“

“The deep dish pizza and Chicago dogs are amazing! Yummy!“

“Simply excellent pizza and service, absolutely legit fresh food. Highly recommended“

“Hmm, where to start... They have the best pizzas with their signature crispy wood-fired pizzas, and we aren't kidding that they are our absolute favorite pizzas in all of Washington. Next on the list are their pizza rolls. We've had good pizza rolls, but never pizza rolls like Fondi's. Pro tip: If you really want your pizza rolls to be epic, you have to dip them in Fondi's homemade gorgonzola dressing. Trust us. We even know a three-year-old who isn't a fan of pizza (yeah, we think it's crazy too), but he will devour half a plate of Fondi's pizza rolls... Their salads are the freshest salads around; you'd think they were a strictly salad restaurant with how amazing these salads are. We've tried every single salad on the menu, and if we had to pick our favorite, maybe the Insulata di mele with its fennel-candied walnuts, but then we'd feel bad for forgetting their classic Caesar's forum, which is a Caesar salad even your kids will want to eat! We may have saved the best for last, because Fondi's flatbread, which we order crispy with the fresh mozzarella, white bean dip (kind of like hummus if we had to compare it to something more well known), and their pomodoro spread (a really fresh marinara-type dip). We almost forgot our favorite dessert! The Burnt Creme, aka Creme Brulee, is incredible; it's really the best way to finish your meal, but we sometimes order the Affogato as well, it's espresso over ice cream, and it's delicious!“

“We come here a lot for New York Style Pizza. You get waaaay better deals on whole pizza(a) when you order through the app. They also have good specials on the app. They prepare everything fresh and the staff is always accommodating. Thank you :)“

“Diverse menu, and everything we've had there so far has been very good. Friendly staff, clean & bright interior. Prices are reasonable for today's rates, and portions are generous. Easy access from much of greater Tacoma, Graham, Mtn Highway.“

“Amazing restaurant inside a beautiful hotel, with amazing views. The Point Ruston Area is the perfect location to relax and enjoy all the amenities of the Silver Cloud Hotel, especially Copper & Salt. Copper and Salt NW Kitchen also gives back to local youth programs to keep them affordable for every child in the area.“
