45 Best Italian Restaurants near Hickory Flat

“We are new to the area and been searching for good pizza. The slices here are fantastic!! Not too crispy and the right amount of sauce to cheese ratio. It is actually foldable!! One of the best slices of "pie" around. Garlic cheese bread and mozz sticks are also pretty good. I gave four stars because the spaghetti and meatballs were just ok. Nevertheless, we found our spot for pizza!“

“Do not hesitate, go to Dina’s now, you will thank me later! I was on a girls trip with 2 friends the beginning of April. The service and food was top notch. Dina came out and talked with us each time we visited. Such a personal touch she brings with her. We were in town three days and ate at Dina’s for lunch and dinner! From soup to salad, to pizza, to main entrees and of course dessert I can’t say enough! EXCELLENT“

“Hosting our family repass at Tuscany this past February (2024) was an absolute delight! Caolina handled everything we needed and more. From the moment spoked to her to the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and made to feel like part of the family. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large group, ensuring we had a private space and attending to every detail with care and attention.The food was simply exquisite. Each dish was prepared with precision and bursting with flavor, earning rave reviews from everyone in our family. The atmosphere was perfect for our gathering, striking the ideal balance between elegance and comfort.What truly set Tuscany apart was the outstanding service. Every member of the team was gracious, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring our experience was nothing short of exceptional. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality, and we were truly touched by their kindness.Overall, our experience at Tuscany exceeded all expectations. It was a memorable occasion filled with love, laughter, and delicious food. We wholeheartedly recommend Tuscany for any special event or gathering.Thanks Tuscany and big thanks to all the staff present on Feb 30, 2024 from 1pm-4 pm.“

“Virtually everything I think about with old school Italian. White table cloth, black and white uniforms, lip smacking red sauce, all the classics, amazing service.Only thing I could want to improve is that I felt the pasta was over cooked, but my eggplant parmesan was incredibly good, the Caesar salad was very good and they had a really good primitivo to wash it all down!“

“If you haven't had brunch here yet, add OM for a fabulous start to your day! We know their dinners are delicious and brunch is just as outstanding as the evening meals! Delicious food, attentive service and calm atmosphere make this a great place to gather with friends or enjoy a couple's morning out!“

“I have dined at POPS numerous times with both family and friends. The moment I leave I start planning my return visit. Quick service, fresh food and friendly staff. I have had sandwiches, pasta, and salads. All have been excellent!It is a must!“

“One of the absolute jewels of North Atlanta. Sorella Vicina has become one of our favorite go to restaurants. Fresh made past in house every day and literally every dish I’ve had has been stellar - the lamb ravioli is still my favorite but the paparadella, spaghetti and cacio y Pepe are also spectacular.Wine is always going to be stellar at any restaurant owned by Phillip Cooper and SV is no exception. Tell your friends it’s a must go!“

“I ate here yesterday for the first time. I was so very impressed. The pizza dough is amazing. When you are in Italy that’s something you recognize about Italian Pizza right away. It differentiates itself from our American in a big way. This Restaurant is like stepping back into an italian restaurant on the steps of the forum Romano. Street Pizza!! It was fabulous. The owner was incredible and highly entertaining and generous. His help was also unbelievably accommodating and loving. Yes loving!! Felt like i walked into an old world Italian family in Jersey on Sunday family dinner!!!!“

“Peace Love and Pizza was love at first bite! We found our new pizza joint and it's super cute.The pizza dough and sauce are the foundation for an amazing pizza, PLP has solid dough and sauce. The crust is light, airy, and crisp. The delicious sauce is perfectly balanced and compliments the perfect crust. The cheese is high quality, and the spicy Italian sausage will make your taste buds sing! We came to try the pizza, and we sure did. It was all insanely delicious.The guys working here were so kind and friendly, happy to have you there which is important especially nowadays when service is on a serious decline. The music was perfect, the dine in experience was fantastic, super clean.We took home a menu and can't wait to try more pizzas and dine in!Excellent pizza, excellent service. These guys love what they do, and it shows.“

“Great selection, reasonably priced. The food is delicious and portion size is big. Takeout is quick and has always been correct if you're in a hurry.Kid-friendliness: Alot of tvs, couple of claw machines in back. Kid menu is average offerings but tasty.“

“I went there for a private event. Shrimp, scampi and mushroom ravioli were very tasty. I also enjoyed grilled eggplant. The cheesecake and the chocolate mousse cake were delicious. Keylime pie wasn't bad, but it was a little bit too heavy on the crust. The meatball and risotto ball were decent, but I wasn't particularly a huge fan. Overall I thought a very tasty.“

“My daughter and I thought we would go early on Fri eve.We walked and were super busy. We put our name in and would be 45 min wait. So we went to the bar to get a drink .Also, it's super packed.A couple were leaving and offered their chairs. We ate at the bar and had fun conversations with other people waiting. We eat at least twice monthly. It's always great food and service.Thanks, JoVegetarian options: My daughter always has marinara on her pasta, and they melt cheese on the pasta. And I order the Broccolini with grilled chicken.“

“Be still my beating pizza heart! We recently fell in love with the pizza from the PLP on Eagle drive, so we had to try this flagship location. We immediatly enjoyed the memorabilia and music.The pizza was also divinely Aaaaaamazing, right up to the very last delicious bite. You people at PLP don't come to play, the delicious pizza sauce and that special dough are seriously the best that I've had.The great music, cool atmosphere, and fantastic people working there are all the silver linings. I am a former pizza restaurant owner, I am a pizza snob, big props to you folks, you're amazing. It is not the norm for me to crave pizza but I crave yours and always will!“

“We ordered the meat pizza and a side of mashed potatoes for our kids.The pizza was probably one of the best I’ve ever had, my husband agrees too! It was perfectly seasoned and just right thickness of crust. The mashed potatoes did not disappoint and were perfectly cooked and creamy.The place is very clean, work staff is friendly. We will definitely return.“

“The pasta and pizza here was just wonderful. I only ordered delivery, but it was still excellent, and I will definitely be eating in person soon. I got a huge portion of spaghetti carbonara, and it was amazing. The sauce was so rich and creamy, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the bacon bits added a meaty depth of flavor. It was also served with a piece of crispy bread. I also ordered a personal Margherita pizza, and it was delicious. The crust was crispy, the sauce was tangy and vibrant, and the cheese was warm and fresh. I absolutely recommend coming here for the immense variety of pasta and pizza“

“Happy Pi Day (3.14)! Saw that they were offering a Pi day special so downloaded the app to order online. App was easy to use and intuitive. Food was ready pretty much when promised - the store was soooooooooo busy due to Pi day promotion but the staff and kitchen seemed to be moving people through as quickly as they could. Pizza was really good so I am already thinking about next year :-). Take a look at the picture of my pizza.“

“There were 10 of us who celebrated family birthdays today, and our server Star was awesome! The service, food, and atmosphere were all outstanding, and we highly recommend Ralph's Zucca Pizza as the place to be for your next family celebration! They take reservations, too, which was a huge bonus! Our table was set up and ready for us in a nice area when we arrived! We will definitely return!!“

“Love Provino’s! I always go in my birthday to get a wonderful dinner. Their Angel Hair Pasta Delvina is so delicious. Their chicken Marsala is great as is everything they make. Love the salad and rolls. You can ask for no garlic on the rolls, but why would you? ?“

“Holy cow! I LOVE pizza & this is my first time there. Awesome! I got thin crust and this is the first time in this city I've gotten pizza that is actually cooked! Not just melted cheese but actually cooked. Plentiful toppings & really friendly people behind the counter.I don't know that I have a "favorite" pizza in this town but, if I did, this would certainly be in the running!“

“This was my second time here. Consistent, delicious. Great group of people working here that are super friendly and take care of everything you need. It's very cozy on the inside and smells amazing. There are a couple of booths as well as table seating. Highly recommend the sausage and peppers with pasta as well as the chicken Parm. But my favorite will always be cheese pizza.“

“We are always searching for new pizza places that have thin crust pizza. Thin like pizza's from the 80s. Nancy's was recommended by some locals and we gave it a try. There was only one group of customers there when we walked in and we were a bit apprehensive that it meant something about the food quality. Well, we were wrong. The servers were very friendly, and gave excellent descriptions on the pizza crust and toppings. The thin crust sausage pizza was one of the best we have had in years. We would definitely come back here on next visit through the area.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. I could not believe how good the pizza was. I have to be honest. I was a little deterred when I found out that it was a franchise, but don’t let that prevent you from trying this great pizza! Marty, who is the manager at this particular location was very hospitable, and really made me feel welcome. I applaud his efforts and can tell that he’s an asset to this organization. I highly recommend!“

“I'm kind of an expert when it comes to what I call Jersey Italian. I miss Alfredo's (Cheshire Bridge), which was the quintessential example in Atlanta for years but closed years ago. I schlepped up to Vespucci's for my mom's birthday dinner, expecting a ho hum meal. Boy was I wrong!The eggplant parm and chicken francese were perfection! These dishes were prepare skillfully. Tons of flavor, not greasy. The eggplant was thinly sliced, like the kind I had in Italy. The francese had a lovely exterior, not gummy. It had a nice lemon zing to it, but so well balanced. My Caesar side salad was just right.Our server, Ramona, was charming and funny.I will drive up here more often to take my parents out for dinner, and can't wait to return. Bravo!“

“We love eating here. Great atmosphere, nice people, great service and great food. Love the lunch specials. We use to eat here when we lived in Florida and visited our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids. They recommended it. We just moved here first of December and so we can now be regulars!! It’s like minutes from our place.“

“We like to come here at least once a month for the lunch buffet, and it never disappoints. For the price, it's a great deal and if you don't eat more than two slices then they only charge you for the two slices and not the buffet price. And the pizza is really good NY style!“

“This is probably THE BEST Italian restaurant you will ever find in the Alpharetta/Roswell area. I'm not kidding. Almost everything here is made and cooked from scratch in their custom brick-oven (excluding pastas and salads). Their craft cocktails are $4 off on Thursdays, so their aperol spritz runs down to $3 (see the picture I snapped of the serving).Service is great and so is food! I have not a single complaint. Consider it champion.“

“Food was decent, not great. My 2 daughters and myself all agreed on a 6 out of 10. Service could be better, it was later in the evening, if that could be a factor. Asked for lasagna to go, but was told they ran out. Sad for an Italian pasta place to run out of that particular dish.“

“Love this pizza place ? Just moved back into the area and are excited that we're within the delivery area again! if you're looking for great pizza and great service, you've landed at the right spot! Highly recommend Grand Slam Pizza!“

“My son and I had dinner tonight at Lucia’s and it was the first time I had ordered Lasagna there. I knew it would be good, as everything from Lucia’s is good, but the lasagna is something I know they serve in Heaven! It is the best I have ever had. The service was wonderful, and our server, Robin, was perfect! The lasagna will call my name again, soon, and looking forward to it is ALMOST as good as eating it is.“

“Had lunch two different times and had a great experience both times. Got a chicken gyro and pizza slices and all were great. Crust tastes fresh baked from high quality dough with a crispy edge. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Visited my first time on Friday. They were extremely busy, but they had plenty of cooks and waitresses . I placed a to go order and the girl was very helpful and patient, as I h a d never been there before. Only had to wait about 15-20 minutes and I was on my way. The pizza was delicious and I will be back!! Thank you Johnny!“

“Both locations are great and serve the best pizza in the metro area and I believe I've eaten at most of the Neapolitan pizzerias in the area and all of the so called ny style places that people rave about. You won't regret visiting Campania.“

“First time visit yesterday, no wait for a table of 2 and few groups on a Saturday. It looked like they had 1 server who was also seating people but he was still very attentive to all the tables. Other servers mostly came out to deliver food I think, but it was pretty slow so no harm.Got the cheese bread and ordered the alfredo, subbed the fettuccine for penne, added chicken. The sauce was very flavorful, pasta cooked well but the chicken left a lot to be desired. On its own, it was very bland and the sauce didn't really save it either. And it's a bit disappointing when you pay 5.50 to add said chicken to the dish and I got maybe 10 or so pieces? There was more alfredo sauce than food honestly, but it was good so no major complaints.Overall I'd go back to try their pizza or a stromboli. Might give a different pasta dish a try as well.Parking: Very small parking lot, if it's busy expect to have difficulty parkingKid-friendliness: Has a kids menu“

“I was picking up for Uber Eats and they had Pizza by the slice, so I ordered one that had meats and Ricotta on top. 10 out of 10! LOVED it! Girl taking my order told me to "Have a great day." I smiled and said "don't be pushy, let me choose the type of day I have." She didn't get my joke, so I kinda felt bad. Hoping I'm back in the area so I can grab some more pizza.“

“Great for lunch! Yummy pizza and subs. I ordered a small pepperoni powerhouse and it was very good. Cooked perfectly with great pepperoni. I did not like the cheese as much. Tasted like only mozzarella and not a mix of Cheeses. The inside was honestly a little dingy and looked as if not much has been changed over the years. I preferred this pizzavover Jets pizza. Lots of lunch options and specials. The guy running it offered a free drink even! Like Arnold said....I'll be back!Uodate....ordered lunch sub with fries. Good portion size and taste! Could have used a little more meat tho. Still good for lunch tho! Fries were yummy and crispy.Maybe not quite a new fav...but will be a repeat customer for sure!“

“Well been coming here since they 1st opened but they sure have gone Downhill. The pizza bottom crust was totally burnt , how can you let something like that leave your restaurant. Can't wait till the new place next to 7Tequila's Rosa's opens . There is no longer any pride in their “

“Lovely casual Italian food. The service has been hit or miss or each of our visits, but the management has been awesome to correct any issues. The first time we went they went out of their way to make a friends birthday special and we'll always remember how great they made it.“

“Good local pizza and pasta joint. We ordered the Margherita pizza XL and the primavera capellini to share. It’s a lot of food for two people but we love to take some home as leftovers.Give this place a try you won’t regret it.Good food at decent prices. Staff is friendly too.“

“Holy Cannoli that food was fabulous. Yo make the food even better the service surpassed all expectations. Best restaurant service all the way to the hosts, waitresses and even the cooks. We love Ippolito's, and will be back with the rest of our family.Dishes I highly recommend: Baked Ziti, Chicken Parm and grab a Cannoli for each person.?“

“I love this Olive Garden. Usually not much of a wait or take out is a good option. The food always tastes good and the tableside trivia is fun (for a fee). I like the specialty lemonades. All the pasta tastes great. Only sometimes the service is slow, but the servers are always really nice.“

“One of our favorite places for dinner. This was the special Valentine Day special menu--very reasonable price, food and desert were excellent as well as the menu "choices", all service very friendly and quick. Highly recommend it for a casual lunch or dinner. We will return!“

“Wow! Wow! Wow! Chef Bologna is amazing! I don't post reviews that often -- only for exceptional food...and this delivered. Two in our party are gluten free and had the BEST pizza they have ever had...ever. My husband had the pork shank that was outstanding! OMG! Fell off the bone and had amazing flavors. I had the Fettuccine Pomodoro & Ricotta which was equally fantastic. Will definitely come back again, and again, and again!!“

“My husband and I enjoy when we go to Olive garden. The food is always delicious, the service is usually pretty good and the atmosphere is nice.However, on this occasion; the food was still delicious. My husband and I usually share an entree so they split it in half. They serve plenty of food on one late to feed two people sometimes four ? which was cool, we still end up taking leftovers.At the end of dinner, we were ready to go and ordered to dessert using the computer on our table. We specifically say that we wanted dessert to go. Why did our server bring our dessert on the plate?She had to bring us a to-go container and it took much longer than we anticipated. We were ready to leave once you brought the dessert but since you messed up she made us wait longer which was ridiculous.The atmosphere was almost dark. My mom used to say if you eat in the dark, you're eating with the devil. And that felt like we were eating in the dark.Because the food was really good I gave our server 3 stars for the excessive wait and the atmosphere 3 stars because of the darkness.“

“Call Dan to order some pizza, and the phone was answered promptly by a very courteous girl. They told me the pizza would be ready in 30 minutes and it was ready right on time. I also ordered a house salad that was quite nice. For a local pizza spot. This pizza was fantastic and the price points were great.“

“I don't know where some of these reviews are coming from. Best Pizza hands down that we have found in Milton, Woodstock, Alpharetta, holly springs area. Same with the other menu items. If you want to pay $5 for a sandwich loaded with preservatives - go somewhere else. Owner is so nice and not sure if people are expecting Michelin star service & ambiance at a pizza joint. Love this place.“
