25 Best Italian Restaurants near Rolesville

“It's a quaint place with lovely decor and delicious food. The good was fresh and seasoned perfectly. I ordered Shrimp Ceasar Salad, and it was delicious with garlic croutons. I was not a fan of the dressing because it wasn't the tonal typical creamy Ceasar dressing, more like Italian. The calamari was tender and cooked to perfection. It's a great lunch spot. However, due to limited space, I can see dinner wait time being longer.Parking: On location parking but could be difficult during peak times“

“It was our first visit and everything was wonderful! My Husband is a vegetarian and adjustments were made that did not disappoint. You must have the Caprese salad. The mozzarella is imported regularly and I am forever ruined because store bought pales in comparison! Everything was delicious, the staff was amazing, and the atmosphere was intimate and romantic. We look forward to dining there again soon.“

“Food was delicious but they seemed to forget our order. We waited an hour and then our server asked if we wanted dessert. Never checked before. We told her we didn't have our meals. She ran off horrified and our food came a few minutes later.“

“Bella Italia catered our Labor Day event...from the eggplant to the sausage and peppers to the chicken Francese....... everything was fantastic and they went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make sure we had the best experience!! Thank You ... the food was BELLA!!!!“

“You’re wasting your time if you go to another pizza place. Mike’s pizza is the most authentic and genuine experience you can get around here.Parking: Plenty shopping center parkingKid-friendliness: Brought my baby and toddler. Never an issue“

“absolutely love it here! you walk in and it’s like your immediately welcomed into a family establishment! Dede was an amazing server, very attentive and making sure my needs were met! most people don’t know about this place i do feel like a renovation would make this place more eye catching and draw new people in!“

“We had the supreme pizza and the Italian White last night for dinner. It was amazing!!!! The veggies on the supreme pizza were so fresh!! The crust is impeccable. Just enough garlic on the white pizza and the taste....Yummo!!! Will definitely be adding this pizza as a new fav! Prices are comparable to other pizza places. I definitely recommend!“

“Great pizza! Just moved to the area and was my first pizza place to try in the area. I am only giving 4 stars cause there was some confusion with when my pizza was ready for pick-up and therefore the pizza wasn’t 100% fresh cause it was waiting a while. Althouhh Johnny over there was great and incredibly friendly and I will definitely be coming back because of him.“

“Ordered a couple pies, chicken wings, and knots for the family. The wings were nice and spicy but still had flavor which was on point. I'd eat here over a Dominos or Papa John's or any of those other chains any day. Never been disappointed with the food or the customer service. Do yourself a favor and give them a try!!Update: great customer service this evening! Picked up pizza and wings, got home to find my wings EXTREMELY small. I do not usually call and complain, but felt as though they were just way too small. Asked if I could bring them back and have them remade. The lady told me to keep them, and she would make me a fresh batch and that the wings that they had received were smaller than usual. She stated they were supposed to give me a few extra. I went back, and they had made me a whole new order with much larger wings. Thank you for the great customer service! And I will be back again...of course!-Will“

“Overall, best pizza my family ? and I have had thus far in the Wake Forest area. We ordered a traditional large cheese pizza ? The undercarriage was thin, light, and crispy! Hardly no flop, held well. Good balance of cheese vs sauce. My only critiqué to achieve perfection would be a bit more flavor and less greasy but overall a good bite ? Worth trying out if in the area.“

“We went Saturday 03/30/2024 and the service was awesome. We had a young lady wait on us. I think her name was Jennifer (not sure) but she kept my boyfriends drink cup full and it never went under half way. Which is a good thing because he drinks alot. We got the buffet and we were surprised at what kinds of food was on the buffet. Everything was clean and neat. We definitely will be coming back!“

“Food is great.... Telling time is Horrible. EVERYTIME we've been and arrived at time as told, we still end up waiting for 20-30 minutes for our order to be ready. Let it ride the first 7 - 8 times thinking they would fix it but went again tonight and same deal...If it's going to be an hour, then just tell us upfront. Don't like sitting in the parking lot for that amount of time. Need to fix it or we will just try somewhere else...“

“Olive Garden of Wake Forest has done it yet again. We had a super star Server tonight Ms.Diane. She and Chris have to be 2 of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They are Johnny on the spot. Before you can ask for it she had it in front of us. ALMOST LIKE THEY CAN READ MINDS. Way to go Olive Garden for recognizing great talent . Thank you again Ms.Diane, see you at the movies.“

“Best restaurant in Raleigh and has an experienced staff! Been going 15 years and it just keeps getting better. I have referred dozens of people to BELLA over the years and they have done the same. Only 2nd review I've ever taken time to write up so kudos!“

“Always great service and food. The management are some of the kindest and hard working people I've ever seen in my life.Also, they get a 99% cleanliness rating all the time.All the dough (except thin crust) and sauce are made fresh daily. Fresh!!!Plus, all the toppings are prepared daily and they do a great job of following discard date rules.Lastly, and more importantly, you can feed 4 people for less than $20 if you pick up your XL ?!I spent $40 @ Firehouse Subs to feed 3 people. $30 @ McDs!“

“One word: WOW. My hubby and I are from NY, have been here for about 5 years and have found very very few pizzas or wings that meet our NY standards (we're originally from Buffalo so of COURSE we've got expectations!). This place is a nice small sit-down restaurant with a full Italian menu. Pictured is the stuffed crust pizza (superb! Def not what we expected but better) and I also had a grilled chicken salad that was HUGE & well worth the $10. With the way prices have been versus the quality/quantity of product lately, I was pleasantly surprised. The marinara sauce was honestly the best I've had in a while. We'll for sure be back, there's a lot more from the menu I want to try.“

“This place is incredible! I had the Dante's Inferno pizza which was probably the best I've ever had. Not only was it spicy, but it had several different kinds of spice. They also made a specialty drink for the film I'm in called, "The Blind Date," which incorporated a small light in the actual drink! But the best part of all was the seemingly ENDLESS cheese strand in their calzones. It was the closest thing to tasting Heaven I've had in a while. My back was to the wall when I was holding this, it was amazing! This place truly is the table where memories are made. Photo by Kevin Hutsell“

“We have been going to Dominic's for years! The pizza is delicious. Everything else is just as good. The staff rocks and the location is beautiful around the pond. Live music on weekends and always a smile and great service inside of Dominics. Give it a try! You'll LOVE it!“

“my husband and I are exploring the area and we're delighted to find this restaurant! the staff was friendly and efficient, the decor was comfortable yet refined and the food was delish!! the crab cake app was expensive but the amount of lump crabmeat unbelievable and the presentation wonderful. we had two of the seafood specials and they did not disappoint! my grouper was wonderful and the sauce rich yet not overpowering. we would definitely come back!“

“This is our go to Italian place. Food and service are top notch. Atmosphere is spot on. I did just notice that they are charging extra if you use credit card. I get it but a heads up would be nice. We go at least 1 - 2 times a week and I just noticed it so they had to just start“

“I just wanted to put in a good (great?) word for Diamond Pizza. Last night we ordered from them for the first time (Greek Pizza), and the pizza could not have been any better! Excellent distribution of ample toppings, an incredibly delicious crust, and cooked to perfection. I can be very critical of pizzas, but this one was bang-on great! Well done Diamond! You will see us again soon.“

“I was visiting my granddaughter in Wake Forest, back in February of this year. They suggested we pick up a pizza from Johnny's. I said okay thinking it was another Pizza Joint. Well, by far it's not just another Pizza Joint!! This is the best by far Pizza I have ever eaten!! I wish we had one in Chesapeake Virginia. The only complaint is, they don't give you a tub of sauce to dip it in. I enjoyed every bite and I look forward to going back next time I'm there!!“

“Overall Rating: 5.1/10This establishment, with its peculiar interior reminiscent of a space repurposed from a non-restaurant industry, offers an average dining experience. Despite being bustling with patrons, the food quality and service did not particularly stand out.Atmosphere: 4.4 / 10The unique, albeit somewhat odd, design of the interior provided a distinctive backdrop for the meal but contributed to a somewhat uncomfortable dining atmosphere.Service: 4.9/10Service was adequate, with the website and online ordering functioning without major issues, aside from a minor online ordering fee. The staff appeared friendly, though no additional service aspects were notably positive or negative.Food:Cheese Pizza: 5.2/10The pizza had good cheese quality but suffered from excessive grease and undercooking, resulting in a floppy texture. The sauce was average, failing to elevate the dish.Steak and Cheese: 4.4/10Characterized by an abundance of meat and vegetables but lacking in cheese, the steak's quality resembled that of lower-tier, frozen options. The dish could benefit from more seasoning and potentially better-quality meat.Loaded Fries: 4.5/10While the fries featured what seemed like real bacon rather than bits, their soggy nature detracted from the enjoyment, tasting like something easily replicated at home.Value: 5.2/10The pricing was aligned with the overall quality and experience, which was only satisfactory. The meal was deemed appropriately priced, given the quality of the food served.Additional Note: There are no Pokémon Stops or Gyms in the vicinity, limiting additional entertainment or engagement opportunities for visitors of the establishment.“

“Overall Rating: 6.8/10This restaurant impresses with its cleanliness, spaciousness, and user-friendly online ordering system. The quality of the food stands out, matched by efficient service and a comfortable atmosphere.Service: 7.1/10The welcoming staff, cleanliness of the venue, and seamless online service contribute to a positive dining experience. The ease of ordering through the website, coupled with notifications and convenient payment options like Apple Pay, enhances customer satisfaction.Food:Chicken Calabrese: 6.8/10This dish excels with its perfectly cooked pasta and tender chicken, providing a balanced and clean taste that's both satisfying and not overly complex.Cheese Pizza: 6.9/10A very tasty option featuring abundant cheese and minimal grease, although the slicing could be improved to prevent cheese from sticking between slices. A slightly crispier crust would elevate this pizza further.Bruschetta: 7.1/10The bruschetta presents well visually and delights with its flavor. The sauce on top pairs well with the dish, though the marinara sauce is just satisfactory.Value: 7.3/10At $45 for three entrees, the restaurant offers good value, especially considering the quality and portion sizes of the meals provided.“

“This location looked really nice and clean. Our waitress Kam was informative, generous, and patient. I always viewed Olive Garden as the Walmart of restaurant chains, but this experience has turned me around. I look forward to coming back here with my wife“
