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.“

“This place is seriously the best. And I really mean that. Literally everything I've tried from them has been absolutely phenomenal, the presentation is beautiful, you can tell they take care when placing the toppings on each pizza, the calzones are top tier and they have so many options including vegetarian and halal, and the greek salad is HUGE. My favorite is the gyros though. Great rewards in the app, BUT make sure to tip cash in store because i believe tips in the app go to doordash and not Can Am's friendly and hardworking employees, and you know they definitely deserve the tip!!! Thank you Can Am for so many amazing meals and more meals to come, you're my favorite takeout place!“

“It all started friday afternoon, i was famished as my team and I had a track meet all day long. Looking through different food places i was succumbed to casa mia’s i had to tell my team we must go there and eat (spoiler: i made the right decision) I was greeted by jamie the sweetest most spectacular amazing italian i’ve ever met. I took a look at the menu and was overwhelmed by all the amazing food choices sometimes i struggle deciding what to eat so i raised my hand and asked cameron, cameron told me she liked the fettuccine alfredo so i ordered it and it was indescribably amazing. Also when i had arrived i was deprived of the liquid called h2o and my lips were dry and my throat was raspy and then jamie blessed us with the gift of hydration something ill never be able to repay! The cheese to noodle to sauce ratio on my alfredo was impeccable i just couldn’t get over it. Amidst all this my friend was even more thirsty it wasn’t a problem of lack of water but lack of ability to get water in mouth the staff thought of an incredible idea and got him a straw this allowed for the highest level of efficiency he then grabbed another straw or two and was happy! I was stuffed it perplexed me how much food i was able to consume but it seemed it was simply too excellent to let go to waste. no way in my mind did i think i could eat another bite until i saw the “secret” menu item molten lava cake (don’t spill the secret) it was amazing it came with the most creamy vanilla ice cream, who doesn’t love vanilla ice cream! I was even surprised with raspberry sauce as i hadn’t read the food portfolio sufficiently. but im glad i hadn’t because it was so tasty my mouth felt like the rainbow road and i was mario on my super scooter and a rainbow star feeling unstoppable. I stepped out of the establishment feeling like a new man i raised my chest higher and saw the positives in life. sometimes mama don’t know mia but casa is mia and au casa es mi casa. I am so happy to have had this experience and i believe if you haven’t had casa mia’s you’re missing out!!!! Thanks cameron and all workers you made my year and my pasta!! (hahaha)

“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.“

“Great food. Good atmosphere. AMAZING service: there was a strange woman who kept talking to us (knowing we were highschoolers) and rubbing my friends shoulders…JAMI immediately got the manager and the woman was immediately asked to leave no questions. JAMI was the BEST server EVER, complimenting our outfits (going to prom!), taking a photo for our group, going along with our dumb jokes, and at the end telling us she loved serving us. Genuinely, I hope someone in management sees this, and gives her a raise. I do not say that lightly. Thank you so much Jami and Primo Grill Restaurant for the great pre prom experience ❤️❤️❤️“

“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 ⭐️“

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

“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!“

“I placed an ordered for an appetizer (fried lasagna) and an order of bread sticks with alfredo sauce before I left work. I arrived 4 minutes after I was notified that my order was ready. Service was quick and professional. The fried lasagna was for dinner when I got home. The bread and sauce was for my commute home. Everything tasted great except half of the bread sticks were extremely stale. They were hard and not at all fresh. The other half were lovely, yummy, and soft. I literally ate them immediatelyso there was no chance for them to grow stale. I'm guessing that staff pawned off the stale bread sticks on a to-go order as a way to use them up and assumed it was less likely for a customer to turn around and complain. They were right, but I'll be checking the bread from here on out.“

“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.“
