30 Best Italian Restaurants near Lakeville

“Okay went for the first time for taco tuesday. Tacos were excellent. Service is always great. It's just a little noisy but that's in the bar. We haven't been able to go into the restaurant side although we will try that next time.“

“Awesome pasta!!!! Many different types of pasta and they are all great.“

“After hearing reviews about this place, decided to give them a try. Got (2) 2 ft long subs.. the club and the Italian. They were both delicious! Bread was the best part. Also got a 1/2 tray of the chef salad which was very good. Only minor complaint is I had to call 24 hrs beforehand and told them pick up between 230-3pm. I did arrive at 215 and was told it wasn't ready and it would be ready at 3, which it was. Besides that, definitely will be back for the subs and salad. I also wish instead of 2 containers of the Italian dressing, we would have been able to try the ranch, but I should have asked.“

“Really nice place! Took my wife there for date night dinner and we both enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and food. Fancy without being "uppity"... I got a penne pasta dish with Italian sausage and my wife got cheese tortellini with chicken. Both were delicious. I'd certainly recommend this place if you're in the “

“Genuinely BEST fish I have ever tasted in my entire life!! If you are a fish n chips lover, Lil Mikes take out is the place to get it.The quality of the cod is superb & you can really tell that it's fresh & not frozen. The batter on it is absolutely perfect taste & texture & not greasy at all.Excellent customer service!I am currently 8 months pregnant & crave fish so, SO bad. I have extremely rare medical condition that makes it so I cannot eat any food at all, I am solely fed from complete I.V. nutrition called TPN.So my only option to be able to enjoy food is to chew & spit, as others in my situation do as well. I keep coming back to Lil Mikes take out because of how incredible the fish is.Before I became ill, fish n chips had always been my fave food since childhood and I am VERY picky about it. It's seriously so difficult to find a restaurant that actually has good quality fish n chips.So I was so happy finding out about this place.Give Lil Mikes a try you will not be disappointed.“

“First time there was great very friendly staff“

“Friday night! Time to dine out, right. We were in the mood for Italian and specifically, pasta! My girlfriend and I hadn't visited Palazzo Di Bocce and decided to try it out. After checking the restaurant website I called to make 5pm reservations as recommended. We drove over a little before 5pm and arrived in good time. The funny part is that there were only two other people there and the place is huge! None-the-less, we checked in and were seated immediately. We didn't wait five minutes before Cheyenne, our server, took our drink order and provided menus and wine selection information. She was very helpful throughout the evening. We ordered an appetizer of Bruschetta which was tasty and a little different from the same dish at other restaurants. My girlfriend ordered the Carbonara with a house salad and I ordered the Chicken Marsala with a helping of the Mushroom Soup. When I asked Cheyenne about the soup she confidently told me it would be the best I've ever eaten and she was right! It was delicious! I questioned her regarding wine choices, as I'm not very familiar with Italian wines. She suggested a Sangiovese that was pretty good and at a fair price. As we ate, a gentleman (server) would politely remove unwanted dishes from the table. Both meals were very good - although I think the mashed potatoes were out of a box. Frankly, I thought the Carbonara was much better than my Marsala! Following our meal we enjoyed desert and coffee - also very good. The cannoli I had was the best I'd had in years. (The shells are made fresh and not filled until ordered. So, rather than the typical soggy shell, it was nice and crunchy and of exceptional flavor!) The venue began filling up as we enjoyed our meal and the surroundings are beautiful. Service was excellent. We will return I'm sure and include a round of Bocce!“

“Absolutely amazing. We reached out to Italia Gardens at the last minute trying to schedule a luncheon service for 50 people after my brother's funeral service. The ownership and staff went above and beyond to accommodate us at the last minute; provided excellent food and great service. Having never dined there and only going on word of mouth, we rolled the dice. I'm glad we did. Thanks again.“

“I came in tonight right at close, HANGRY, and with 2 Littles in tow that had to use the restroom. the woman that took our order was absolutely the sweetest! so calm and understanding and helpful. then discovered how FANTASTIC the food was when I fi ally made it home to eat. what a little gem of a restaurant! definitely will be eating here again!“

“While I can’t attest to dine-in as I did a carry out order, the restaurant was beautiful inside and out from what I saw when I picked up my order. My husband said he’d love to take me on a date there one day, but we wanted the yummy food at home today. We live across the street and it was our first time visiting after almost a year of living next door.We got the fettuccine Alfredo, the Giusseppe's and truffle fries. Our total was $53. We thought it was a tad pricy but once we tried the food, we were literally completely blown away. Worth. Every. Single. Cent.The Alfredo was to die for. I’ve had Alfredo from every other local place and chain place and none have come close to the taste of bar Veronas. The flavor is SPECTACULAR and the noodles are clearly home made. My husband enjoyed his pasta a lot and we appreciate that our meals still came with bread despite not eating in. The bread was super soft and FRESH! Phenomenal. The truffle fries were crispy, just the right amount of oily, salty, flavorful, and delectable. I could eat them every single day they are so good.I can’t say enough about how good their food is. I wish I had more words. I cannot wait to eat here again, I can’t believe I waited so long to try it! It’s nice to have such a restaurant right by our home.TLDR: LOVED THE FOOD!!“

“What a change and great improvement in the level of service at the Auburn Hills location. Nick the new owner, Jasmine and the rest are friendly and make an effort to provide a good experience. Hot food every time, that's rare!! Keep up the good service and hot food!!!“

“This five point Dr. Location just produced the best jets pizza I have ever had, by far. I'm not sure if it was done on purpose, or by accident, but all the food was cooked perfect. So many times you get sloppy, floppy pizza from chain pizza places. This was actually cooked long enough. Everything was golden brown and crispy. I picked up a deep dish, hand tossed, bread sticks, and added on a diet Pepsi at about 12:30 pm today. If the staff can look back and remember what they did for this order, and then just always do that, they would make some of the best pizza. Better yet, if corporate investigates this, and then implements whatever they did, it's probably a contender for best franchise pizza money can buy. But don't get too excited, this only happened one time. Repeat itEdit: maybe they always cook it like this at this location? I meant this is the only time for me in the history of ordering franchise pizza where I got perfectly cooked food.“

“I was sick for over 10 days and couldn't eat. When I could finally eat, I had a craving for Jet's..which I hadn't had in many years...but you never disappoint. As always, food was to perfection and quick as ever. Thanks for being consistent in your service and quality!!“

“We celebrated our 54th anniversary there tonight, and felt so much love and attention.The owners were warm and welcoming. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so special! The staff, from hostess to busboy to the lovely waitress Alma, made our visit a night to remember!“

“Food has always been superb. But todays visit, server Melanie… from the time I entered til the time I left was a 5 star experience!! Chicken Milanese was delicious!!! A restaurant experience to me begins with the service!! Melanie represents Pizza Nostalgia to its fullest. Remember to make a reservation as this restaurant is very quaint. Never a disappointment.“

“I have tried dang near half the menu and love it all. the cannoli is hands down the best I've ever had. Everyone I've encountered there has been nice and helpful. Highly recommend stopping in to this place!“

“It was my first time here and hands down I love this place. Went on a weekend for lunch and was surprised it wasn't that crowded. I came here for pizza and I loved the Gnocchi. It is delicious. Veggie pizza and Garlic knots was good too. I felt that the food in general was fresh. Special mention about the Tiramisù- I love Tiramisù and was craving for an authentic one and it is spot on here. In fact it is one of the best I have had so far. I'm definitely coming back for Tiramisù. The lady who serve us was very hospitable and friendly. Overall highly recommend this place.“

“One of my favorite places to get dinner and definitely my top place to go when I'm craving Italian food. Drinks are great and there's a great wine selection to choose from. Service goes the extra mile and it's a cozy place located right in Downtown Rochester. Love this place!“

“Food is delicious and the service is excellent.“

“I had the Linguini di Moore was great! I LOVED the pasta sauce that they used. The bread at the table is delicious, but it was a little too salty. The calamari was yummy as well. Our server was fantastic. He was great with the kids. Definitely worth checking out for a relaxed Italian dinner.“

“Went here today last minute (it’s Mother Day) and there were 11 of us in the group. Kayla greeted us and was able to get us a table with out a reservation. She was so kind and our waitress Lauren gave AMAZING service! We ordered pizzas, pastas, burgers, buddy bread, loaded fries, salad and drinks. Buddy’s has amazing burgers! Very happy with the food but the service at this location will keep us coming back!“

“This strip mall location is a classy joint but not worth going out of your way for. The pizza is reasonably priced but all the pasta dishes seemed way way over priced.It is dark mood setting atmosphere with a large bar and many high top tables. The location does seem to wheelchair ♿ friendly.“

“WOW! Service was impeccable! Food was AMAZING!!! Highly recommend“

“Just hosted my husband’s 40th birthday party here. We rented a private room and the food and service were just amazing. Miguel took great care to plan our event and made sure we had everything we needed and delivered on all aspects of our agreement. The private room is just beautiful with a personal bar/bartender. Miguel even set up a TV in our private room so that the boys could watch the NCAA games. Our server Cole was absolutely phenomenal. He was professional and just made it all happen, including refilling and serving MANY bread baskets. Thank you Cole. Also shout out to our bartender, did not catch his name but WOW he kept up with our crowd and provided great service. My favorite was the Minestrone and the Veal. Thank you Sapori for going above and beyond for my husband’s 40th birthday celebration your team exceeded our expectations.“

“I ordered a Deep dish pizza received a thin crust pizza and then they told me that's exactly what I ordered ....bad place..“

“As an Italian, I approve! Everything was spectacular.“

“Bravo for lunch is the best. They have decent portions and the price is reasonable. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. Just a nice place to eat overall at The Village of Rochester Hills“

“We have gone to G’s multiple times for large family gatherings and honestly this is the best location for big groups. We just had my daughter’s birthday party over there and had the pleasure to have Sam as a waiter. I have never in my life had better service than I did with Sam, what an absolute gem! He was so efficient and attentive to our large, busy group that I hope we get him every time that we go in. Food was fast, drinks were constantly filled and when we needed to cut the cake, Sam made sure that we had everything we needed including a serving spatula and a knife. What a great experience and a way to keep me as a customer for life.“

“Such a cute place!!!! We started out with the potato soup. The soup was so good that I almost ordered a second cup. But I needed to leave room for my baked mostaccioli. Deliscious!! My husband ordered the Godfather and he was quite pleased. Don't forget the tuxedo cake for dessert!! Our waiter Brandon was very pleasant, knowledgeable and prompt. Will definately be back and will be spreading the word about this hidden gem!!!Kid-friendliness: Kids pasta“

“I’ve been coming DeMarcos a while now. And this review is long overdue. What an amazing spot. Such an amazing vibe and the food is amazing. Carbonara is one of my favorites. But my new favorite is the Neapolitan pizza!!!! Honestly this pizza is my new happy place . Must try! Shout out to Erica the bartender. Attentive & Friendly.“
