7 Best Italian Restaurants near Salem

“It was a busy night tonight for sure. I waited two hours plus for my food to be delivered and it came cold and missing items. I called and talked to a very nice and patient manager I believe her name was Jen. We knew this was not the norm for service and food cause I’ve been ordering for 8 plus years. Long story short they made the order again and delivered the food a second time. I appreciate the the staff and their understanding. Thank you for your great service and food!“

“We live 2.5 hours south of Lake Villa, but we were meeting some friends from Florida for dinner. They were in the area for their grandson’s graduation from Great Lakes Naval Academy. Found this place via Google and it had great reviews, with good reason. We wish we lived closer because it would be a favorite for sure. Probably the best bruschetta and lasagna I’ve had in a very long time. Everyone loved their entrees. We tried multiple pasta dishes and the pizza. Prices were very reasonable and our service was exceptional. Excellent dining experience all around. Highly recommend.“

“Rosatis food and service are outstanding !!! The crew at Rosatis care about their customers so they always make sure the food they serve is something they can be proud of. If you haven't had the delicious food from Rosatis yet what are you waiting for you don't know what you're missing. My all time fav is their Monster Pizza?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We absolutely LOVE this style pizza. The dough is perfect, the cheese and toppings are always delicious. We always leave room for their desserts; whether it's a cannolli, cheesecake or both! The customer service is always great I love chatting with the staff!“

“This place is outstanding! The food is great and so are all the people who work there. I have been there when the service is a little slower but the atmosphere and the bartender make the difference. I have eaten there many times for lunch and dinner and it never disappoints, and they do a good takeout too. I regularly go there for lunch with my mom, she loves it! When people come to visit we always go to Oliverii for at least one meal. It is a DO NOT MISS location in this cute town.“

“I absolutely love this place! I can't believe I didn't know about it before. Their pizza hits just the right spot. Of course its a shame that its on the pricier side but honestly I have never had a pizza from here that wasn't worth it in the end. It reheats well if you have leftovers!“
