33 Best Italian Restaurants near Richlandtown

“Our absolute favorite Italian place in the area. Amazing, food, quality, gigantic portions, friendly servers, who treat everybody like family. Our family has been coming here for 10+ years and we’ve never had a bad experience! Try the bacon, tomato pizza or anything with pink sauce!“

“Went to dinner last night, and it was AMAZING. Our server was very knowledgeable and sweet, her name was Rita, Best service we’ve gotten in a while! Our calamari was what I was craving, and it didn’t disappoint! Buratta bruschetta was good too, but filling! My husband got lobster ravioli, that came with a lobster tail and a decent amount of crab meat! I got chicken Marsala. Both of our dinners were 10/10! Crème bru le was great as well! Thanks for a wonderful dinner! Still talking about it the next morning!“

“I tan next door and walked by this place for months and had been wanting to go here....so made a reservation. Did not check menu or pricing so fiance was a bit surprised at prices...oh well. BUT...it was soon good and he agreed. The steaks were perfect, and the loaded potato...the asparagus could be grilled a bit or something. I got the raspberry something cocktail and it was so good! I love the atmosphere. I would go in just for drinks. Also please note, the sides are enough for two to share. I would absolutely dine here again.“

“Love this place! My daughter is at a nearby college, and since she wasn't coming home for her bday, I ordered pizzas from here as a surprise. These guys were able to spell "Happy Birthday" with pepperoni. I am forever a fan of this place and will stop here for food, any time I'm in the area.“

“Enjoyed reading the reviews as we were looking for a good Italian restaurant. We were not disappointed. Most authentic Italian food! My husband and I started with the calmari. Probably the best we've ever had! He had gnocchi with bolognese and I had the nonnas Sunday special with spaghetti, meatballs, sausage and braciole. Anna and Marie were wonderful and accommodating and we couldn't have had a better experience. Finished off with cannoli and cappuccino. Have not tasted better connoli!“

“We dine here weekly. The wines they offer are wonderful. Everything is homemade, fresh, and delicious. Their chicken and veal are of the highest quality. I order the chicken francaise quite a bit and it melts in your mouth. Try the Nona salad, it’s great!“

“Excellent! The nonna pie is well above your average pizza and most pizza out there is average at best. My son and I have a painting business and we try pizza everywhere our work brings us. Mostly North and Central Jersey. The nonna pie can certainly hold it's own against the better pizza in Jersey. The owner is pleasant and in conversing with her seems to enjoy making exceptional food. A true sign of a successful restaurant . We also had an eggplant Parm and chicken cutlet sub. Both very good. We are pizza snobs and if we lived in the area this would be our pizza spot.“

“Such a fabulous market with many specialty items and a really nice gluten free section. The gluten free pasta far exceeds the brands sold at larger grocery stores. Now onto the main event…the cheesesteak!! Simply delicious…the ribeye was seasoned perfectly and the ratio of onions and Cooper sharp was spot on. All of that deliciousness was on a fantastic seeded roll. Being a resident of Bethlehem, I can’t wait for Mercatino Italiano to open its shop here. Hands down, it will be the BEST cheesesteak in the Lehigh Valley.“

“This restaurant is a true gem!! Two friends and I ate here on Saturday night to celebrate a birthday and could not be happier. The inside is on the smaller side which made it very cozy. The menu is large and has some thing for everyone. The waitress was excellent. She explained that the restaurant was BYOB, had suggestions for specials, and what came with the entrées since it was our first time there. The portion size was perfect. Everyone in our group ordered a different chicken entrée that was absolutely delicious and it came with a small salad , a slice of bruschetta, and a homemade bread with amazing dipping oil. Every part of the meal was excellent !!! Since we were celebrating a birthday, the waitress surprised us with three slices of a limoncello cake and sang happy birthday. Everything about this experience was a 10 out of 10 we will definitely be back!! I almost forgot the best part, meeting Frank! He's the owner and very engaging. It was nice to see him in the restaurant checking on his customers to make sure everything was okay and that we were enjoying our dining experience. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, I highly recommend it.“

“First time at Sapori and it won't be the last! Wanted Italian for dinner and decided to try a new place. The restaurant is attractive inside with lots of pretty decorative lights. Our server, Mackenzie, was excellent, attentive and helpful. My son and I both ordered our favorite classic Italian dishes and the food was fresh and flavorful. The salads were delivered to the table in minutes, alongside some large, hot, buttery garlic knots. I would recommend Sapori to anyone who enjoys good Italian food!“

“Awesome place to stop in for a beer or cocktail. Selected lg. fried butterfly shrimp, did not disappoint! My wife had the scallops, which were delicious. The owner, Sam, was bartending. He was conversational and prompt with the drinks. A lot of regulars were coming in to eat while we were there. A bit far for us to travel, but we'll definitely be back!“

“This was the 1st time my husband and I have ever visited this restaurant. We ordered the medium cheese steak stromboli which was not only soo delicious but we came home with more than 1/2 of the stromboli which will feed us for a couple more meals.I do want to say that when we were there at lunch time, the employees were also sitting down, having lunch. Everything they had looked amazing! I have never witnessed that before and I thought it was really sweet.Calls were being ordered, people were picking up orders, we were waiting for our order, without any delay. Even though the staff was having lunch, customers were not affected. I really am soo sorry I didn't ask what they were eating, because it looked so amazing and the whole staff seemed really happy!Next time I go there I'm going to order what they are having!“

“Had them cater a party of almost 60. They were great to work with, had good suggestions, and the food was hot and ready to pick up at the arranged time. They even helped load it into the car! The food was all delicious and everyone was talking about how good it was. 100% would recommend for catering services!!“

“Food is great!!! Everything we order is always fresh and made quickly but with care!!! We love this family owned business!!! Always friendly and welcoming!!! We highly recommend this restaurant!!!Kid-friendliness: I frequently bring my granddaughters to pick up our order and they love saying hi to the workers and the taffys they get!! This is a great family oriented restaurant!!!“

“We have been visiting this restaurant for ages - way before COVID, and their pizza has always been amazing. I think it is the high quality of the cheese. The salad was reasonably priced, with home-made croutons and a lot of dressing. So if you are on a diet, I recommend you ask for the dressing on the side.“

“Great pizza, friendly staff. Great pizza! Best we have had for some time. Our search is ended for now for our pizza place! Great food, excellent people working there. The best pizza I have had in the Lehigh Valley. Clean, well attended business. Our go to place for pizza and cheesesteaks.“

“Very creative and unexpected specials. Quality of the food is first rate.Parking: In a strip mall, no problem with parking.Kid-friendliness: It's bustling and a bit noisy, so no problem with kids. High chairs available, too.Wheelchair accessibility: In a strip mall, so walkway has wheelchair cuts. No steps or stairs and adequate floor space; tables aren't packed together, plus booths, so room for wheelchair.“

“I ordered the gyro pizza on a whim and it was so good! A combo of two of my favorite foods. It doesn't look that impressive when cold in the display but once heated up it's much more appetizing. I want to try all of the other types of pizza here I'm sure it's good“

“My wife and I have dined at The Melt many times over the years. It and the Blue Grillhouse offer the best food and service in the Lehigh Valley. I was there late Saturday afternoon. When Chris, the manager, was told of my wife’s death, he was visibly shaken. That’s one more reason The Melt is such a special place.“

“Everything was top shelf. It was my 90th birthday evening out with family. I had mussels I white sauce was delicious and I would recommend it too anybody.Parking: A few handicap parking. Depends on what time you get there is parking troubles“

“Excellent Italian grinder and I also had a chocolate Canoli. Delicious. Cute store!!! wait staff for their in door seating . They have a cute area of outdoor seating as well. Italian pastries are available as well Terra musu, Canalis, and others. Check out pictures. Sorry I eat most of the very large grinder before I remembered to get the picture. It was about 18" long.Parking: Plenty of spacesWheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair ramp .but it is a long one .“

“Since the day that there was a Carlos' pizza flyer in our mailbox, we been hoping to give it a try.The pizza is AMAZING, it's homemade, mild, soft, and not greasy The pizza is a work of true artisanship.The courtesy of our delivery person helped add to our experience, even before we took a delicious bite.From the doily under the pizza, the craftwork of the pizza, and the kindness during deliveryCarlos' pizza is serving more than food, it's serving an experience to remember.“

“The woman at the counter was super nice, and the eggplant parm I ordered was incredible! It even came with fresh bread and salad with your choice of dressing, which i thought was good value. I also have a calzone with broccoli and cheese, would recommend!“

“Ordered takeout from here tonight. Panini (came with cole slaw and a bag of chips) and kid’s chicken fingers (came with fries) were ok, nothing special. But on a whim I added a cannoli to my order, and that was the best decision ever. The filling was so good I could have eaten a bowl of it. Next time I’m skipping dinner and just getting two cannoli!“

“Figured it was time to make a review on the best pizza place in Quakertown after coming here for over 20 years now. Living 25 minutes away from Quakertown, I'll still make a trip down during a pizza night to go to Sals over any pizza place up my way as I know I'll never be disappointed with the quality of food. They always have a great staff and let's be real, Sal is the man! My go to is always their pizza, garlic knots (the best!), cheesesteak, stromboli, or wings. I've dined in many times (great service) but now living farther away it's easier to just pick up and make my way home (usually can't leave the parking lot though without having a quick slice or 2 lol). Thanks for always having the best food around!!Parking: There's tons of parking available, huge parking lot.“

“Taormina’s has been one of our favorite takeout since we moved to the area a year and a half ago. It was recently sold and has new ownership. We have ordered some of the same items, and they have some new items on the menu. Pizzas are still really good! I ordered a salad that I’ve had a number of times in the past. The chicken and shrimp in the Mediterranean salad was coated with some type of mesquite rub. It was obviously different than the salad from the previous owner. It was very generous but a little bit salty for my taste.If they are going to serve the same menu items, it should be similar or maybe they should update the description of the item. We look forward to trying new things!“

“I like to order from here on weekends. The pizza it's so good. Customer service is good, small place but it's clean. I like that is not as expensive as other pizza places. I live in Bethlehem and it's worth driving the to Hellertown. Sandwiches, well I can only say it's OK. A 2 liter bottle of soda will cost you about $4.00 best to buy it at the supermarket.“

“Our family has been ordering take out or visiting pomodorino's many times over the years my favorite meal linguini pescatore,which I've had 30 or 40 times,as good as if not better than any Italian restaurant locally or in south philly great staff, and Julio is the man!“

“Our family’s favorite place! The food is amazing, and the staff is so kind and welcoming! We bring our autistic son into the restaurant, and they always make him steal like part of the team! Such a blessing to have a place we can bring him where we feel welcomed!“

“It's a local dive bar with a decent beer selection. Service is usually okay. Pool table and darts in decent condition. If this sounds like your type of bar, you'll love it. If it doesn't sound like your type, then you'll hate it. It's that simple...“

“Family owned and operated Italian restaurant. Food is made per order so that the food is freshly prepared.A VERY clean restaurant. Service is very good.I had the baked ziti. It was very good. There was enough on my plate for 2 meals. The meal came with a salad or home made garlic bread. A 24 ounce beverage with the meal.We had a good meal and are planning to return again.Parking: Parking is back of the restaurant. They do have a drive up window for pick up orders.“

“I would be honest, I visited here based on all the reviews that say the service was not good and they got yelled at. I was feeling adventurous and wanted to see how out of pocket the service would be. I was feeling a little down and just wanted to be distracted. Based on what I read and what my friends who visited before told me, the food is good but the service is weird.I came on a cold windy day and the food. The food was so good. It was warm family Italian food. The creamy steamy hot pasta cured me that day. Just what I needed. The garlic knots were so fresh and garlicky. The satisfaction I was craving for, along with the pizza dough pounding sound from the kitchen, very cozy.I pictured the scene from the Disney movie Luca. The pasta is homemade, warm, and simple. I think this is exactly what pasta should be. Simple but soothing. So glad there’s a restaurant like this around here. A perfect place when you’re feeling down, stressed for the finals, or just hungry for a good pasta.And the service was actually great. Only me and another customer. Quiet and comforting atmosphere.“

“Simple take out slices,wings & sandwiches to elaborate dinner entrees & the best homemade soup & freshest salads in the area this shop has it all! doing a pub crawl to the local breweries? grab a quick bite stop in & relax BYOB! Also heard their delivery radius covers a lot of the area that most other places do not.“
