18 Best Italian Restaurants near Lakewood

“Delicious meals and drinks u will not be disappointed“

“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.“

“We came here for annikd buddies birthday sadly they couldn’t get the football game on just the baseball game the server was great not to much smiles from the male server/waiter only from the young woman. My pizza was as okay it was to floppy the ravioli and garlic bread with cheese were good The establishment in Tacoma is way better than the one in Puyallup“

“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 love Primo! God is always delicious and the sauce is excellent. Pasta dishes are creative and will dine. The salads are plentiful and the one with roasted veggies is super. The calamari is outstanding. We were disappointed however, that wine by the glass are limited to "draft wines" and there are no Italian wines as an option unless bought by the bottle. Cocktails are lovely.“

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

“I’d never been and decided that needed to change and loved it! Had the Hot Honey and it was fantastic! Both the pizza and the salad were ordered arrived quickly. Awesome flavor, fresh ingredients, and a staff that was very friendly.“

“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!“

“Olive Garden delivered pretty much what you’d expect classic dishes, familiar flavors, and no big surprises. The food was decent but nothing out of the ordinary. It’s the kind of place you go when you want a reliable experience, and that’s exactly what we got.\n\nWhat made it memorable, though, wasn’t the pasta or breadsticks, but the time spent with friends. Laughs were shared over plates of pasta, and that’s really what mattered most in the end. Sometimes it’s less about the food and more about the company you’re with.“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“Every time we go we have THE BEST service, THE MOST delicious fresh food, and we ALWAYS get the donut holes - they are to die for! 🩷“

“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.“
