12 Best Italian Restaurants near Oakdale

“Probably the best place for sandwich es in Oakdale and definitely in the top three in all of Stanislaus county. Get there early because the later it gets in the day the busier it's going to be. The food is great and the staff has a great attitude.“

“I took my family for dinner here when visiting. The space is beautifully done. Everyone loved their dinner...we had the special sea bass, chicken parmesan, shrimp and grits, pizza...they were all delicious! For appetizers we had the beef carpacio and the Thai mussels. The Thai clams were some of the best things we ever had. The broth was complex and layered. The wine list was small but had some good offbeat wines like Cakebread Cellars. I understand this is a new owner for this restaurant...great first impression for me! Thank you!“

Thank you for making the customer feel appropriated.I had the molcahete. I don't recommend it. Great presentation but not the greatest flavor.. I was expecting grilled chicken. it is like boiled. souces are a bit sweet, I was expecting spicy.Next time I will order Italian.I had my food, and then realized I was late to a meeting. so, they were very kind on packing my food really fast. The cooked came out and took my tortillas to my car, since I left them behind. Thank you. AWESOME SERVICE.“

“Delicious Italian food made to order. All employees treated me very kindly. The place is very clean and from the moment you enter you love the atmosphere and the aroma. We ate pasta, calzones, pizzas, ice cream and cannolis. Everything perfect ?“

“Great food. Came here for the first time a few months ago and have been back several times since. Up until now the best Italian food I’ve ever had was when visited our daughter in San Diego and we always go to Buono Forcheta in the South Park area. Gusto is as good as they are. The depth of flavor in the bolognese sauce is amazing. The lasagna is also amazing. The other nice thing is that the kitchen is out in the open behind the bar area and you can watch the chef work his magic if you want to sit at the bar.“

“We first tried this place a little over a week ago and this was our third visit! My wife and I feel like it is hard to get our whole family to agree on any restaurant, but we all loved our food. The gnocchi is awesome! I get gnocchi more than any other dish when we eat Italian, and this is definitely one of my favorites. The owner is extremely nice and very happy to accommodate each of our requests. Sometimes when you eat Italian, the sauce is delicious, but the pasta it comes with standard is not your favorite... no worries, he happily allowed us to select whichever noodle we wanted with our dish. Their fresh baked bread and dip are amazing! It's a relatively new owner, so if you gave them a try before and weren't satisfied, I suggest you give them another shot. If you've never been here before, I hope you give a shot... I promise you can do alot worse, and at least here you're supporting a local small business owner and member of our community.“

“I've only had the beer and cider and their choices are awesome! Maybe next time I'll grab a bite to eat. The last time we stopped in was just to grocery shop after sushi so we weren't hungry but I guess we were thirsty We grabbed a couple brews and watched the game. Staff are super friendly and informative. Can't wait to stop in again to try more adult beverages.“

“Meeting the owner of the business and had an appointment with him. He offered lunch and I accepted. I was blown away by the freshness, flavor of the pizza here. He asked me what I wanted so I always try pepperoni pizza if it's a new place I never been to before.I highly recommend this place. It's cozy small family friendly oriented atmosphere.If you are in the Riverbank area. Stop in for a bite.“

“Food was fantastic! I’ll definitely be returning!!“

“The bacon wrapped scallops were delicious and the lobster raviolis were a must have. This was our first time here and the food did not disappoint.“
