16 Best Italian Restaurants near Wesley Chapel

“The ONLY place that we get pizza from! Worth every penny and always friendly people. We have tried just about everything on the menu and love it all. We have gone here for years and the Carmel location before that. Definitely the best pizza by far in Charlotte area.“

“The Panini's are awesome, bread is baked locally and you can tell the quality is excellent. The owner and young lady serving were very sweet and helpful. Some cool imported Italian products to choose from as well. Well worth the visit. Will be back.“

“This is an excellent Persian food. Everything is so perfect. The Kobeda is excellent, the lamb chops, the amazing Persian rice and most importantly the pizza! Only the people from Iran or Iraq will understand how good it is. When I tasted it, the smell took me back to my hometown. All in all everything is perfect and I strongly recommend this place to whomever interested in Persian food“

“I want to be as objective as possible. Im trying to play nice. Especially for a restaurant that charges your card for a reservation hold. Our reservation didn't get booked, so we sat at the bar. The service was good. My card got declined because it was locked. The bartender was patient while I figured it out. However, the food which is always my main focus. Let's talk about the food. It was rather disappointing. We opted for a small Salad, Chicken Parm, and Nutella pie. The only thing decent was the pie. It was huge, light and fluffy, and covered in caramel. The chicken Parm was a great size (2 big) breasts heavily breaded and covered in sauce and cheese, completely lacking flavor. The breading did have herbs. Additionally, it was completely greasey. You could squeeze the cutlet and the oil oozed. They definitely needed salt, too. The side of spaghetti was no different. The sauce was the same and lacked flavor. I did add fresh shaved parmesan, so the salt in that should have enhanced the flavor, but it was still lacking . The whole meal was void of flavor but looked esthetically palatable. I asked her opinion and she felt the same. Gave it a 2 out of 10. In fairness, she's Indian so she likes heavy flavor and spice, and I love strong seasoning, so this may not have been our cup of tea. So, take my review with a pinch of salt.“

“Staff was super friendly and helpful. The margarita pizza was fast and tasty. Love the buffalo mozzarella ! Open table seating / order up front. Little fixens over by the beverage machines. Also had to sip on the side of marinara (so good ). It’s definitely a family friendly happening spot.“

“Rocko's is the best "hidden" gem I've stumbled across! My husband & I split the Gino Cold sub and it was delish! Stuffed with meat & cheese and veggies, it was more than enough for a satisfying yet not overfilling lunch. Eating at their outdoor tables on a sunny, spring-like day made the experience even better!We love the Italian-American deli vibe and cannot wait to come back and try other items from the menu!10/10 recommend!“

“Definitely a must try place. Penne alla vodka is a go to, if you're in a rush or on a budget grab a simple slice and you won't be disappointed. If you're lucky enough to get Janine or Logan at the bar you'll feel more like you're home than in a restaurant.“

“Main Street bistro recently catered a conference I attended in Monroe. Not only was the food they offered amazing but the staff was very friendly and cordial. The egg salad and chicken salad finger sandwiches were incredible! Obviously homemade, very simple and absolutely delicious. Prime Rib was served at a carving station one night (all meals were buffet style at this event). I don't normally eat a lot of red meat but I asked the server if he could carve me some that was a bit less rare and he said absolutely. It was slightly pink and absolutely delicious! I was so glad I had asked for some. I grabbed some of the whipped horseradish sauce to have with it. Amazing! Highly recommend if your group is considering A catered event that you call these folks.Dietary restrictions: The first evening on the charcuterie table hummus was offered in addition to multiple crackers and lots of different veggies and fruit. Egg salad finger sandwiches were also offered. Folks who were gluten-free and or dairy free could've also found something to eat at the buffet.“

“Today was my first time here and I can’t say that I’m disappointed. I ordered a veggie pie and plain pie to start off safe. And it was so yummy! The dough is amazing! I can’t wait to try other menu items now!!!! Oh and the service inside was amazing!!!!“

“Authentic pizza hand-made by beautiful spirited mature woman who was the matriarch of the family. The entire family was very kind and willingly spoke about how over many years the family learned how to make this delicious style of pizza. Can't wait to try other dishes. Highly recommend this restaurant“

“I happened into Nonna Maria's by accident, and I'm very happy about it. It is a small Italian market and deli. I ordered an eggplant parmigiana sandwich, and it is much better than the one I make for myself at home. The staff is friendly, and the store is very clean. I would recommend this place to everyone.“

“One of the best restaurants in CLT. Consistency is perpetual here. Food, beverage, ambiance, all top notch They even have live music on Fridays All warm, welcoming smiles from the host desk all the way to the wait staff and managers. Bartenders are great. Especially G, he's the man! You're treated like family here. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You will not be disappointed. The grilled octopus is a must!“

“Hidden gem !!! Was looking for somewhere new and saw the high ratings. It is worth EVERY SINGLE high rating. 5 out of 5. Fresh Bolognese sauce which you cannot find around here. Wife had stuffed shells. Couple pizzas to take home to the kids. Got to know Romeo and Katrina - so nice. This place deserves to be known. PS - Try the meatballs.“

“WOW. 17 years in Charlotte, stumbled across this place and figured I would give it a try. This might actually be the best pizza in Charlotte. We have tried so many pizza places and this one is my number one.From the crust, to sauce/cheese ratio, it’s delicious. This is now my 2nd time and it literally was the exact same quality and that says a lot in my opinion. My husband who is very picky about pizza even said tonight how much he really likes it! This will now be our new regular pizza spot, and I really look forward to eating it monthly!!! Well done Papa’s!“

“Dined here with friends twice in the last two months. Both times the service was attentive, the food was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. Lasagna, seafood fra diavolo (special), risotto, ravioli--all were wonderful.“

“This was my 1st experience and I was EXTREMELY HAPPY. My food was hot and fresh. The 16" Combo pizza is hands down the best pizza I've had in decades. Not only will I be back I highly recommend this business to all. Forget about Domino's and Pizza Hut they're not on this level.“
