32 Best Italian Restaurants near Saint Francis

“Absolutely love this place. Great people and great food“

“Fried zucchini and steaks are very good so is the spaghetti very friendly people“

“Such a cute spot with very friendly staff and AMAZING food! I love that it’s family owned them having the Safina family as the executive chef was a very cute touch lol. Family photos on the wall when you walk in is also such a cute detail.

We got the bruschetta (with Brussels sprouts which was a fun seasonal spin), pistachio pasta which was so unexpected and delicious, and the shrimp diavolo pasta which is a classic but was done very well and used the top tier bucatini.

As an Italian who lives in Chicago I know good Italian food and this is truly amazing. Definitely worth a visit, we’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in town!“

“My food was absolutely delicious. I went for brunch and ordered the El Mexicano Bowl. I highly recommend this place. It’s nice to see a great restaurant finally take over the old Trocadero building.“

“I forgot to tell you, they change their menu once a month - but if you like something you might still find it later on - but this is a great idea since it's a local favorite foodie place so customers nearby that frequent don't have all the same food choices!!!! Loved everything about this cute, quaint, delicious spot.“

“I’ve been meaning to try Santino’s for years. We picked up two pizzas, the giant meatball, and tiramisu. Everything was perfect! So delicious!“

“Zarletti cant be beat. We have never had a bad experience. We love the location, the personnel, the quaintness and the food is tremendous. Brian always makes it a very personal experience for us. That is why we always sit at the bar. Its where we want to be. Thank you.“

“Just ate here with my girlfriend's and it was very good. service was excellent and food was delicious! Adding some pics“

“Cannot say enough about the food, the staff and the ambiance. Whether it is pregame, post-game, special night out, day drinking and dining or late night cocktails and dinner after a late flight this place never, ever disappoints. Its been that way for years and hope it never changes.“

“Staff was very attentive. Food was fantastic. My only complaint is the price, but you certainly get plenty of food for what you pay.“

“BIG shoutout to Papa Luigi's Pizza - Cudahy !!! Our 6th grade Basketball team had some time to spare in between games this afternoon and were HUNGRY after playing two already. I called for a last minute reservation for our group of about 25. They seamlessly set up our tables and set us up with their pizza buffet-which included pizzas, salads and mostaccioli! We all left happy, the boys with hi-fives from staff as well! Thanks so much for the quick service with a smile! #gowestbendspartans“

“Great stuffed pizza. One of our favorite restaurants for many years.“

“Went here for the 1st time tonight and is was beyond wonderful. Service was fantastic and the food was soooo good. Can not wait to eat here again ❤️“

“Very good food and great service lasagna is superb and the pizza is top notch“

“I had heard great things and had never been. Was heading to see a show at the Marcus Center last night and we opted for dinner here. Being a foodie, I had asked for recommendations in some of my foodie groups. I heard the meatball appetizer was a must have. It wasn’t on the menu for some reason, and I’m glad I asked as Frank, our awesome bartender/server who is in the family didn’t realize it wasn’t. I have zero idea how you get meatballs light, fluffy, not dense, but these were them. And the sauce! Beyond fresh, light, and delicious. Eggplant Parmesan fries were also super light and served with the same delicious sauce. And then the pasta… Capellini alla Caprese (which was Frank’s recommendation). From their menu: “Handmade angel hair pasta tossed with sweet Roma tomatoes, genuine Prosciutto di Parma ham and an Italian soffritto (olive oil, onion and garlic), finished in a light chardonnay-cream sauce and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.” This was also super clean, light, and just delectable. The bruschetta appetizer we did not order, but the people next to us did, and I asked to take a pic. It looked amazing, and the girls eating it absolutely raved. The tiramisu - not much to say other than chefs kiss! I literally want to go back and try everything on their menu. This was for sure one of my favorite new (to me) places and I will be back for sure! Also a shoutout to the other bartender Shea… she was an absolute gem. All of the staff we met were super friendly and helpful. Love places like this!“

“Great place to dine with family. Always a good meal when I come here“

“Clearly this is a fixture of West Allis. Took the family to Mama Mia's for a celebration dinner. Five of us waited about 15 minutes to be seated on a Monday night. First time visit we had garlic bread and a garlic bread, meatball sandwich and chicken tenders and fries and the salad and potato soup. And manicotti. Inflation has raised prices everywhere, but the prices here for the portions was quite reasonable.“

“I love the pizza but it seems like the sauce was different. did they change the sauce?“

“The best chicken parm I've ever had.“

“Food was phenomenal!! The atmosphere is lacking. A day of touching up paint, stain, chair nicks and deep cleaning would go a long way for minimal cost and effort. You would have thought it would have been done during the COVID-19 shutdown.“

“Came during a packers game, place was empty, got scared but then quickly found out that food was excellent, service great and will be coming back! Focaccia, Calamari, Chicken Picante. Everything is clearly made as it is ordered, great overall experience.“

“I came in on Tuesday for dinner with my friend to celebrate her birthday, and it was the nicest night. I love coming to Centro, but Shannon was by far the best server I have ever had. She made us feel like she was delighted that we were there. She checked in on us the perfect amount and made wonderful recommendations. Shannon, I hope you see this :) Thank you for making the night even more special.“

“My best friend and I have been visiting for 8+ years, since we were 14/15 years old! The fusilli is our absolute favorite, and we never go without a cheeseboard or the flourless chocolate cake. We have always had great service and it has made every celebration worth visiting Onestos! ❤️“

“Amazing food! The portions are huge and we always leave with leftovers.“

“Delicious Italian American cuisine!!!!!“

“We hadn’t been to Sala in over 10 years, since we moved from the area. We were regulars for a long time, beginning when Teresa and Tony opened the restaurant as Sala da Pranzo. How lovely to return and find it as wonderful as before. Still the best — thank you!“

“Awesome pizza, delicious food and great prices. Jossy is the best waitress!“

“OG is what it is....reliable comfort food that leaves you full and satisfied. Our server was excellent and helpful pointing out options for our dietary restricted folks. It's my guilty pleasure and I'm not gonna feel bad about it.“

“Pizza was decent but average in the sense that it definitely wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t amazing or anything. I thought it was a twinge salty and could’ve used just a little more flavor, the owner was really nice though.

There didn’t appear to be any kind of eating area so don’t expect that.

This place isn’t bad, I recommend checking it out if you’re at the nearby beach and hankering for some pizza.“
