12 Best Italian Restaurants in Williamsburg

“Great little Italian restaurant. Have been here twice and got the flounder lemoncello both times. Delicious! 4 of us for Mothers day/birthday and we all enjoyed our meals. Not too noisy. Waiter was good. Helpful but not overbearing. Nice salad and garlic knots served family style before the meal.“

“On Sept 9 2022 my friends visited Carrabba in Williamsburg during our excusion. The server, Laura, was more of a treat than what we could have imagined. She was friendly, acompandating to us, the seasoned ladies. She knew what to say and how to interpret facial expressions. She didn't get upset when a dish had to be sent back. The manager was gracious also. But Laura, is the consummate server and needs to train others on how to be kind to others whether you want to or not. Give her a Raise!!! We will be back.“

“After a late night at Busch gardens, our family of 6 cruised by and was very pleasantly surprised by how DELICIOUS the food was.At first, the service was slow to start, but their amazing mozzarella sticks were impressive to say the least. The generous Prosecco pour was greatly appreciated followed by the from scratch Italian wedding soup which was out of this world.The family enjoyed bruschetta, meatball parm subs, cheesesteak subs, a buffalo chicken pizza, and kids tenders and cheese ravioli which was all absolutely spectacular.I honestly can’t wait to go back to Busch gardens so we can eat here again! Definitely recommend!“

“Like me you are looking around for some real pizza after a wonderful day in Williamsburg. Your search has ended, just come here. Perfect cheese to sauce to dough ratio. Nice thin slice. Best pizza I've had in a while. I can't speak much about the other shops in town but at Olde Town Pizza you won't be disappointed. Enjoy! Also Balsamic Vinaigrette is special on the salad.“

“We loved this truly authentic Italian restaurant. I ordered the carbonara, which I am used to the "americanized" version. I was very pleasantly surprised to see it served with bucatinni! My husband ordered the NY strip dish, which had a beautiful crust and great flavor trapped inside.They have a large wine and drink menu, and available bar for those who prefer that seating. Our server was great and knowledgeable about the menu. Loved the atmosphere and vibes inside this gem. I would absolutely come back and recommend others to enjoy food here as well.“

“Exquisite local Italian food. Ingredients were so fresh. Had a great and lively environment. Our server, Chip, was amazing. Our drinks never went empty, our table was cleared promptly, and he was very pleasant. We ordered the mozzarella sticks to start, which we thought were just okay. We would have liked more seasoning on the breadcrumbs. The bread was cold. Salads were average. However, the entrees did not disappoint. The lemon butter chicken pasta was divine. Has just the right amount of lemon taste. The 4 cheese tortellini was delicious as well. The sauce was what made the dish so delicious. However, the chicken parm was the star of the show. Everything about it was perfection. Overall, we would come again. Portions were large enough to split and we were still stuffed. We will have to come back for dessert.“

“Pizza was pretty good. They have several higher end ingredients for anyone who doesn't want a plain pizza. The person working acted like we were bothering him to be there. ?‍♀️ Didn't rate the atmosphere, this is definitely a to-go spot.“

“We came to Francesco’s tonight not knowing what to expect and by the tone we walked out, we knew we’d be back! Vinny was a gracious server and made us feel extremely welcome. The handmade pastas were to die for! And my daughter really enjoyed the pizza. Whatever you do, don’t skip the excellent desserts.“

“The food is fantastic! This was our first time trying! We will definitely be returning! Flavors and seasoning are on point! Value for the money for the portion size I feel are so amazing and so appreciated. Thank You! Also we highly recommend. Thank you so very much for our very generous customer service! We will definitely be returning for delicious food and amazing customer service. Top knots! All the way around!!!!! Thank you again!“

“Wide menu selection. From spaghetti to lasagna to baked dishes. Portions were large, with enough to take a meal home. My wife had a Reuben sandwich. Plenty of meat and other food items. The server was slow refilling drinks. Management worked with us on food allergies. As with most Italian pasta, black pepper is an ingredient. Garlic knots were wonderful. We will be back.“

“We love a slice and a salad here. Great variety and delicious tastes. The owner is a character and is very lively. The seating is at a premium and on a cold day, anywhere close to the door is a chilly prospect, but overall it is a great place to eat.“

“I wish I could give the service more than 5 stars. Our waiter, David, was excellent. He really is personable and attentive. He was serving a table of 5 ladies all senior citizens and he kept up with our requests with a smile and good sense of humor. David is a wonderful employee and should certainly be promoted!“
