25 Best Italian Restaurants in Bethlehem

“we had the limoncello mules, the fried burrata, the seafood pasta bomb, angel hair key west and the bombilini; OMG, absolutely amazing! we'll be back and will bring friends!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Orchid Steakhouse in Bethlehem, PA. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt high end. The star of the evening, however, was our server Tony—friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. He struck the perfect balance of professionalism and approachability, making our dinner feel relaxed and enjoyable. As for the food: absolutely delicious. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care. The steaks were perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned just right. The sides and appetizers were equally impressive—fresh, well-portioned, and beautifully presented.“

“We found this restaurant online and we were coming to Bethlehem from Wayne, NJ. We made a reservation for 4 on Sunday at 3pm and arrived on time! We were met by our server Maddy and seated at a large table. The food and service were outstanding. We come from an area filled with Italian restaurants and we were so pleased that we wouldn't hesitate at all to drive back just to eat there again! The portions were large, came out exactly as we ordered them. The prices were excellent also. If you want a great Italian dinner or pizza, I highly recommend this place!“

“Now coming from NYC we appreciate a nice slice of pizza. You can see I lifted the slice up and all the cheese stayed together with the dough, this my friends is properly cooked and proper ratio between cheese and sauce.

The crust isn’t heavy and after 3 slices I felt good and stuffed, high recommend!!“

“I love pasta from here especially the penne vodka“

“Best cheesesteaks in the Valley! Great selection of other favorites. Highly Recommended. ☆☆☆☆“

“Great food, very inexpensive. Just know that the restaurant is located inside the casino and anyone under the age of 21 requires an escort that will stand outside the restaurant waiting. There are also no bathrooms. This is not a restaurant flaw, just want to make patrons aware because I was surprised since they even have a children's' menu. Try the Nutella cake! It was amazing!“

“Everything was great tonight. The chicken parm was delightful. The linguini and sauce was great, and the house salads were so fresh and crisp.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience at Villa Fresh Italian!

I recently visited Villa Fresh Italian and was absolutely delighted with my experience. A fantastic place to eat some good pizza

I was especially impressed by Melany, who was incredibly attentive to my food preferences. Her humble and sweet demeanor made me feel right at home. Sophi also captured my attention with her exceptional service. Her kindness and attentiveness truly stood out and made my dining experience memorable.

I highly recommend Villa Fresh Italian to anyone looking for a fantastic slice of pizza paired with top-notch service.

Thank you, Melany and Sophi, for making my visit so special! I will definitely be returning.“

“Gluten Free pizza is out of this world!!!! The absolute best GF pizza I’ve ever had. I have been gluten free for years and continuously search for a GF pizza that doesn’t taste like cardboard. Well, I certainly found it here! Their GF pizza is light, fluffy, and toppings were the perfect amount. My Fiancée had regular pie of Buffalo Chicken Pizza and he too said it was the best pizza he has ever had! We will be back again! Thank you for the great food, service and atmosphere, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.“

“I recently visited my daughter at Lehigh and we stopped into Anna's for dinner. It was our first time dining there and it certainly won't be our last! 😋🍝. The meatballs and breadsticks are amazing, the heaping plate of linguini in clam sauce was delicious and my daughter practically licked the plate of stuffed shells with alfredo. I got the tiramisu to go and it was honestly the best I've ever had! Anna not only cared about the quality of her food and service, but she also cared about my daughter who needed a fair share of hugs after finishing midterms. Being so far away from home, Anna offered hugs to my daughter when I can't be there myself. We adore adore Anna! My daughter has already stopped by to say hi and get another hug. Thanks for a delicious dinner and a lifelong friendship Anna. I'll be back to see you soon. 🍝🇮🇹🍕💖“

“I nearly dislocated my jaw trying to bite into this ridiculously overstuffed sandwich. Why would someone sell a sandwich so packed that it can barely be eaten. I couldn’t even fold the sandwich. It had to be eaten open faced style. And to top it off, I ordered the medium size (9”) thinking it would be a nice sized sandwich for a quick bite on the go. Not the case at all. It was a completely debilitating sandwich. I couldn’t even do what I needed to do today. I had to go home, ice my jaw, and sleep it off. So worth it“

“Best pizza and food in town.“
