23 Best Italian Restaurants near Vallejo

“Pizza was fantastic as well as the custom garlic bread pizza. Food is almost as good as the staffs friendliness and customer service.“

“Wonderful and friendly staff, great food!“

“Always delicious! And they have gluten free pizza for my son.“

“We enjoyed a dinner with friends from out of state. We were able to have one of the dining rooms all to ourselves; not from a lack of patrons but because we wanted a quiet space. The service was top notch, and all of the dishes we ordered were delicious. The views of the water are very nice, especially at sunset.The menu had great options from salmon and filet of Sole to pasta and steak. The appetizers were wonderful. We had the fried ravioli. So, if you're in Vallejo, Zio Fraedos is a great spot for dinner. EnjoyWheelchair accessibility: The building has stairs and a ramp to the front door and wide hallways inside. Also, table sitting, not booths for larger people and wheelchairs.“

“Good food and very friendly service! If one orders the all you can eat salad, bread sticks and soup a suggestion would be to have a slightly smaller soup bowl as an option so that the customer can try all the soup choices versus only being able to finish one or two soups on the menu“

“Date night with the lady and we decided on pizza. We did a quick search and found nothing but over priced greasy choices in our local area (Walnut Creek, Concord). We found four corners pizza n pasta and the pictures and reviews sounded good. We ordered the Papa Charlie’s pizza and a Caesar salad and it had exceeded our expectations. Home made Caesar and ranch dressing, fresh toppings, evenly spread, and crispy crust. You can tell they take pride in their food and it shows. Lots of open seating, great atmosphere and clean. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. This is my new favorite pizza spot and I highly recommend it.“

“What a lovely cafe to enjoy. Small and quiet. Great food. Enjoyed our breakfast. Avocado toast with salmon was sooo good. The eggs, potatoes and bacon were perfect. Coffee is outstanding. Has great garden seating or inside table seating. Friends have said lunch is great too. We will return.“

“First time visiting this quaint little restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The outside doesn't do the inside justice. I had the Alfredo with chicken. The portion was plentiful and the flavor was excellent. I must admit the garlic bread stole the show. This stuff was some of the best I have had. Wish a slice or two came with the dish but I had to order it. Money well spent. Would visit again.“

“Me and a few friends went out 'bar hopping' - I'm sober personally - I had asked for a cup of coffee truly not expecting much at all.I shared with my best friend beside me and we talked about it all night. I don't say this lightly ~It was the best cup of coffee I have ever had~“

“Excellent service w/amazing food. I ordered the stuff pork chop. A plethora of bursting flavors with each bite. I am from RI where you are able to find top notch Italian dishes. La Strada didn't let me down. I highly recommend a visit.“

“Nice place to have lunch with friends. Good selection“

“Enjoyed another delicious and relaxing evening with the folks at Bella Siena. Service was excellent, food was delicious as were the drinks. The calamari was our starter with, of course, their yummy bread and carmelized onion dipping oil and we moved on to incredible entree's.“

“Incredible service with authentic Italian dishes. I shared the prosciutto appetizer with my eight year old daughter, who until now ate store-bought prosciutto. She actually noticed it was better, and commented on how the tomatoes and cucumber and fresh mozzarella made the perfect bite.My chicken piccata was the best I've had outside of Italy. Her Bolognese was fantastic, and she ate so much she regretted it!Service was excellent; friendly staff, great starter bread, and an overall atmosphere as completely casual with elevated food and service!“

“This restaurant is so cute and while we were there, the regulars were coming through after work. The staff is extremely friendly and so accommodating. I forgot to take a pic of the complimentary bread and dip and clam chowder soup (soup of the day). It was so good and perfect with our meal. We've been coming here more often and really enjoy the service and the dishes we've ordered. My husband loves the carbonara with fusilli noodles. I've ordered the linguini pesto and the cheese tortellini. Those are my go to. For dessert, I highly recommend the tiramisu and the tartufo.“

“Hello, I am a traveler of Argentine - Italian nationality.I came across this very particular place.A cozy restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere.Its owner and chef Ramiro was very kind and welcoming to me and my wife.They let us choose our table as we liked.As soon as we sat down they brought us water with lemon and hot bread with Eggplant Caponata (amazing )We then tried a Calamari appetizer (abundant and tender) and then Fettuccine Alfredo and Salmon Dill (5⭐️)The food is prepared at the moment and in front of the customers.Each main dish comes with a soup or salad (you can add protein or different types of salad for a fee).Both the waiter and the assistant were very attentive and friendly.RECOMMENDATION!!This is NOT your average American restaurant.You should arrive prepared to have the experience of a European restaurant, where one goes to enjoy, relax and eat delicious food.The attention is personalized, so it takes time.Patience and understanding where one went to eat is important.Thank you so much.We will return, without a doubt!“

“Think of a place that always makes you happy. Shhhh. Don't tell anyone our secret. It's our close-by under-rated go-to Italian bistro that's always glad we're there, for ritual unwinding on Friday nights over food and wine with a staff that gets our affection for the comforts they bring, certain that we won't be disappointed with anything. Expensive? Not. Behind that modest storefront is an intimate atmosphere, service as near to perfect as I know and that Italian cooking like mama's home made. The cook/chef is a real pro. I haven't had everything on the nicely-balanced menu but what treats I've had. Properly prepared and completely satisfying. They have a short list of moderately priced wines and good selections by the glass, the most expensive under $10. It's not a place I would go for a cocktail unless I'm sitting at the bar watching basketball. I'd like to see one or two different desserts and maybe a different table bread. And that's it. Can't wait for Friday night to roll around.“

“The Benicia Napoli will be my new go to for pizza delivery! The online menu was very easy to navigate. We ordered a medium Hawaiian, a cousin Vinny's calzone, cheesecake, and tortellini. Total after delivery and tip came out to around $70. This would be enough for 4-5 people. Delivery fee is only $1.75. Forget DoorDash! The pasta comes with your choice of sauce. I didnt see the options listed. I got a call pretty soon after putting on my order to clarify that. They offer red, pesto, or meat sauce. No white sauce for the pastas. The Hawaiian pizza was packed with toppings. They did not skimp out. Each bite had ham and pineapple. The calzone was also large. Larger than the size of my hand. It came with a side cup of marinara sauce. Also packed with meat. The pasta was also hearty and fresh. It's tasty food that's affordable and local. Why go to the big chain pizza place when Napoli's is an option?“

“Excellent food. I just had the Gnocchi with the mushroom sauce and it was fantastic! A year or so back the quality was hit and miss. They lacked consistency. They seem to have gotten things together and now it's been consistently good the last five times I've been there. Far better than Pasta Primavera in Walnut Creek. Give it a try and you won't be sorry.“

“This is my favorite place to get a Cesar salad. It’s not your ordinary salad. I’ve been to other establishments and it tastes bland. However, the flavor of the dressing tastes here tastes so authentic. I always add chicken and it’s super filling! Also, get the mango Italian soda. So so good. That is both my takeout and dine in order! I am also a very big fan of their pastas!! I recommend this place to everyone.“

“I made a reservation online but the host didnt find it so she asked us to have a seat and wait. 20 mins go by and we're ignored so I asked if the wait was much longer, or if I could just order to go. I'm told they dont offer food Togo and then I'm asked for proof of my reservation. (Why didn't you ask me 20 mins ago??) Another 15 mins go by, we finally get lead to the back for a table and the noise was overwhelming!! It's like a huge warehouse and everyone is yelling to be heard. The food okay, not memorable. Great to have a restaurant onsite but driving into town would have been a better choice.“

“Best kept secret of El Sobrante: El Chalan, Peruvian and Italian restaurant, offers a family atmosphere with great food at a good price. Warm bread and butter is served from the beginning. Their roast 1/2 chicken and whole fried trout, with home style french fries are very popular. Their sea food dishes, especially the seafood soups are delicious. The Italian food is also excellent. Butter nut squash raviolis, gnocchi, and spaghetti are cooked perfectly. Kids love this place.“

“Pizza is still delicious but the loss of salad bar and desire to help customers from the kids behind the counter is a real disappointment. Every pie and bread stick that came out of the oven while we waited over a half hour for a personal salad, two bread sticks, and a small pizza had huge air bubbles that were destroying the items piling up as they came out of the oven while all the employees were standing around hiding in the back. After waiting 20 minutes when I was told it would only take 10 minutes to get food we went back to the counter only to have the employees tell us they had no idea about the order we're talking about. Finally after going through all the employees we were given part of our order and had to remind them about the rest. Upon arriving home 45 minutes later we found these so called bread sticks that resembled piles of dough bubbles. Sad to see a great pizza place go so far downhill.“

“Good food and great people“
