24 Best Italian Restaurants in Bethlehem

“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.“

“I ordered the heart pizza special with garlic parm and hot n honey wings and WOW! Food was amazingly delicious. It was my first time ordering from here and my family and I will be back again. Customer service was wonderful and the women working at the counter were very kind. We will be back again! Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day wonderful! ❤️“

“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!“

We loved the quality ingredients. The crust and sauce set the stage for a very tasty bite. Crust was baked perfectly. It had great texture, flavor and the right chew factor. The delivery person was wonderful too. Bellas has been and will continue to be our go to for incredible pizza.“

“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“

“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. 🍝🇮🇹🍕💖“

“Overall this restaurant deserves a 5-star rating. They specialize in Argentinian/Italian food. I really enjoyed the paella, which had so much shrimp, mussels, clams, and squid, it was the perfect ratio of protein to their arborio rice. The seafood was cooked to perfection and this was a beautiful, colorful dish. Four people could easily share this as an appetizer or shared by two people as their main entree supplemented by a side like a salad or a cup of soup. My husband had the Chicken Milanesa with french fries and a side of Chimichurri sauce, which he loved. We visited on Mother's Day so it was quite busy with large families. It was noisy because there were a lot of children, young adults and obviously people who were there to enjoy their homeland food. The fried calamari appetizer seemed to be a hit with most people so we will try that next time. Service was a little chaotic at times because the servers seemed to be overrun by how many people were there. All the servers were so nice and helpful and worked so hard to keep everyone happy. I was very happy to have made reservations through Open Table since there was a steady group of people waiting to be seated. We will be back to enjoy some of the other specialties. This is a family-owned restaurant and they give back to the community. Great job Villa Roma!“

“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.“

“My wife, daughter and I had hit up Primo's outside of Allentown, PA when we were visiting family there and we had the occasion to go to Primo's which was located in a small strip shopping place.

In of itself, it lives up to it's reputation of delivering quality sandwiches and subs which the wife and I had shared the turkey and provolone sub. It was packed with plenty of turkey and generous with the provolone cheese and it was delicious as I knew it would be.

Next time it'll be a steak and cheese !!

Totally worth it !!“

“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!“

“Best pizza and food in town.“
