8 Best Italian Restaurants near Middletown

“We had a party of 15, we called the day before to reserve, was told no reservations. When finally seated everything was going well. We had 3 kids under 10. Food started coming out for all except the child who's b-day we were celebrating. He had ordered a cheese pizza and the kitchen made the wrong pizza. Everyone was done eating by time he got his food. I asked the waitress if they were going to comp his meal and she replied we have it coming and then rolled her eyes. The next girl came over and I asked her and she said of course, I'll see what I can do. We then had to wait another 30 or 40 mins for the checks and then she had mine but had to take it back to make adjustments so another 15 mins waiting. The chicken Alfredo was dry and pasta was not fully cooked. Spinach and artichoke dip was amazing as was the salad.“

“My family and I celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and we had a large party. The staff were welcoming and accommodating and the food was delicious. The service was delightful and prompt, our waitresses were friendly and all of our orders were correct. We absolutely couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves any better. Thank you so much for a memorable evening, I highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Our kids got their meals first and had the spaghetti and meatballs. They are very picky but loved their food.“

“Best pizza ? ever Best Italian food ever“

“This is our go-to restaurant for casual Italian dining. The service and food are consistently good and the prices are great.“

“Hubby & I just had lunch here a bit ago. We've never eaten here before. We shared a steak hoagie with onions, mushrooms, pickles and cheese. We got the parmesan bites and an order of fries. Absolutely delicious food! We had water to drink so our bill was only $21. Delicious food at a reasonable price! I highly recommend Richards“

“7 of us were in town for the Giants vs Reds series and the local electricians union hall recommended Township Tavern. I can say everyone in our party enjoyed the food, the staff's friendliness and the great atmosphere. I highly recommend them.“

“Hope was fantastic. She took great care of us. The food was great. My wife and I had intended to go to another place we were familiar with, but they were closed. Brio was a last minute decision. Neither of us had been there before. It turns out it was a very good choice. Thanks again for a great night out!“

“I love this pizza and the breadsticks. I used to eat here a lot but the manager would leave you waiting at the counter for ten to twenty minutes without service. He would see me and not bother helping or acknowledging me. I liked when Mark worked. He was always kind and helpful. I finally stopped going because I never knew whether I would be helped or not. I went in a couple of days ago with my son and Mark was working. He was kind and pleasant like in the past. Too bad the other person wasn’t as helpful. I really love the food. If Mark is working I will stop and eat. If the manager is working, I will keep on walking. Not sure how he keeps his job.“
