50 Best Italian Restaurants near Gloucester

“One of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time!

Tangerine Pizza brought me right back to my childhood favorite — Buckingham Pizza. Thick crust, loaded with toppings and cheese, and absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of place where finishing a medium pizza by yourself is almost impossible!

The combo came with a soup, two drinks, and a garlic sauce that would make any shawarma place jealous. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it. I highly recommend giving it a try — one or two slices are plenty for one person!

“Lucho provided catering for my wedding for 110 people absolutely loved it. He served for us, had a great price, and provides excellent customer service. I’d highly recommend him for anything from a single lasagna to catering for over 100 people. Thanks Lucho“

“I had the pleasure of dining at East Side Mario’s last night, and I must say, everything exceeded my expectations. From the warm atmosphere to the delicious food, it was an all-around wonderful evening. What really stood out to me was the exceptional service — particularly from the manager. He was incredibly professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. He made sure everything was perfect at our table and checked in to ensure we were enjoying our meal. It’s rare to see that level of care and hospitality, and it made a big difference. The staff overall were friendly and efficient, the food came out hot and fresh, and the environment was clean and comfortable. I truly felt valued as a guest. Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for great Italian-inspired food and top-notch service. Big thanks to the manager and team for making our dinner so enjoyable!“

I always recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean takeout restaurant that does NOT taste like cardboard.“

“The cannolis dessert is so good except too little strawberries n berries. A little bit more will be perfect. The main courses so delicious! The chefs should be at Casino Lac Leamy.They lack Michelin star chefs at Lac Leamy. Cheers to the chefs at Caffe Italiano.👍👍👍“

“I had such a great experience here! The girl who helped me, Hiba, was super sweet and incredibly helpful with the menu options. She took the time to explain everything and made the whole experience so pleasant. The pizza itself was absolutely delicious — you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Everything was perfectly made and full of flavor. Definitely one of the best pizza spots I’ve tried!“

One of our favourites was their unique dinner for two, fried chicken pizza and salad! Very filling, a good contrast, and not greasy! We will definitely be back!“

“Great space. Warm service. Great for a quick bite, or a multiple course adventure. Everything was seasoned incredibly. The pizzas are nice and light, and balanced. I recommend getting a couple and sharing. Beers are cold. Cocktails are dope. The staff seemed stoked. Everything was great. Ottawa staple for me.“

The White Russian and Ashton cider were also very yummy. Ashton is a dry cider, quite refreshing!“

“We went tonight for our friend’s birthday. Food was amazing, drinks were good, service was excellent. 10/10 recommend. Note it is small inside, very quaint. As a person with a young baby, I won’t be bringing her (my daughter) there; we’ll keep it for a date night 😅“

“Super nice service and very delicious food. The carbonara was a bit of a surprise for me, as I lived for a while in Italy, but never had a Carbonara with onions before,... but maybe it's a variaty of a specific Italian region 😅😎 which I haven't heard of 🤔 Overall : it's a five star experience with brilliant staff and atmosphere 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍🎉❤️“

“Notre serveur Luc était excellent! De même pour la nourriture...la crème de poulet avec épinard WOW. La petite salade Caesar pourrait être plus généreuse. Nous fréquentons votre resto au moins deux fois par mois. Je suis toujours la personne qui réserve pour notre groupe et nous sommes toujours satisfaite.“

“Wonderful restaurant! We went for dinner on a Wednesday night and my date was right about needing reservations, the place was packed and with good reason! The service was stellar despite the crowd and the food was excellent. We shared the zucchini sticks, which we've tried at many places, and these are hands down the favourites! I had the lobster ravioli which was rich and flavourful and the limoncello tartufo, definitely the best lemon ice cream I've ever had, fresh and bright flavour. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I just ate the BEST burger we have ever had!! And we eat a lot of burgers. This burger has ruined all other burgers for me. It was SO delicious!!“

“Lovely atmosphere and ambience. Service was impeccable and the food amazing …. First time there with a wonderful friend that introduced us to this hidden jewel. Will definitely be back!!!“

“We had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was truly impressive: the chicken parmigiana, in particular, was cooked to perfection. It had a wonderfully crispy exterior while staying juicy and full of flavour inside. The pasta was perfectly cooked as well, complemented by a tomato sauce that was noticeably fresh, savoury, and just sweet enough.

We were also lucky to have very attentive and friendly service. The only downside was that the wait was a bit long, but in a way it reassured us that the dishes were being freshly prepared, and it gave us plenty of time to relax and chat.

Overall, it’s a great spot for an informal meal or a casual dinner. Highly recommend if you’re looking for good food in a comfortable setting.“

“Our first but definitely not last time coming! Fresh food and amazing service. We had the lasagna and ravioli and it was 10/10!! The sauces and flavours in both dishes were incredible. To finish off we had the chocolate mousse and that was amazing.“

“Wonderful evening in this warm and charming high end restaurant. Food was delicious, service was great. The Christmas decorations added to the warmth of the season. The sound level made conversation easy-flowing through our party of six. Highly recommend Mamma Teresa Ristorante for a special night out.“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had from East Side Mario’s!!
Fresh, tasty, and well made.
I know it’s a chain restaurant which is usually not my thing, but we gave it a shot.
Place was very busy.
They have new items on a menu, partner got a spicy chicken and pasta dish, really enjoyed it.
( I’m lactose intolerant and everything on the new menu was covered in cheese)
Big portions also.“

“Oeuf benedictine italiana gratinée, un regal mais quand il arrive pocher très dure ou totalement « morveux « c’est normal de demander a etre retoucher mais me faire mettre dehor en me disans que c’est normal par une grosse vache sa c’est pas normal le restaurant est parfais quand 2 propriétaire sur 3 sont là! Je ne connais pas leur nom mais la dame blonde tres énergique et super avec tout le monde et ainsi que monsieur super gentil gagne à être connu car se sont 2 propriétaire incroyable ! Pacini est parfais sans cette femme tellement hypocrite qui te parle comme un enfant ou qui essais de te faire sentir stupide. Et oui 👏 Dommage“

“Excellent location, atmosphere, service and food.“

“First time trying the pizza here at Giovanni’s Snack Bar and Pizzeria. Absolutely delicious!! Ordered the Margarita Pizza. Giovanni was extremely kind from the moment I walked in until I left today. I would highly recommend choosing Giovanni’s the next time you are craving pizza or when you’re in the area!“

“Bonne nouvelle! Petit changement au Mia Pasta au Promenade, le propriétaire du Mia Pasta à Hull vient d’acheter le Mia Pasta à Gatineau! Le Mia Pasta à Hull a toujours été excellent! Maintenant, nous pourrons aller manger aux deux restaurants sans problème qualité goût!“

“This place made me feel like if I was in Italy once again! The food was great and the staff was welcoming and attentive. We shared a sandwich between two people since the portions were big. And we finished it off with 2 cannoli. The atmosphere was definitely pleasant, very relaxed. You can play some board games while you wait for the food. Will come back to try the other sandwiches.“

“Encore un très bon repas . Pizza et frites.“

“Always a wonderful and great experience ❤️ Great food 😋“

“Was attending a meeting nearby and after a long and tiring meeting my friend and I felt hungry and found this Halal pizza place in the area. Honestly, one of the best pizzas I have had so far in Ottawa. The dough was perfect and the toppings were generous. Coming again with family for sure.“
