Italian Restaurants near Mauldin

“I love this place and I know Covid took its toll but the owner is starting to make the kind of decisions that push people away and I fear customers will stop coming. They stopped offering a salad with the meal so now the price is the same but you pay to have a salad added. I asked for crackers with my $13 salad and was told they only order 1 box every two weeks and they didn’t have any blaming it on the supply chain. I am a supply chain executive and that’s bogus. Even if it’s true “go to Costco and buy some to keep your customers happy”. Oh, and that half container of salad dressing for that large salad you brought me don’t tell me I’m only supposed to get one. Either fill the container or bring me two. Raise the price a little if needed but you keep making these tacky decisions and you’ll be out of business. I say this out of love because I come here often.“

“I love eating in the South and I love southern food, but sometimes it is nice to have a change and this northen-style pizza place just has an awesome retro feel. Pizzas we had were great, kids loved them, and they are great value. Nice to eat in a homestyle pizza restaurant like I did as a kid in the 80s rather than the large chains. Unfortunately they had just run out of tiramisu (a family favourtie dessert) so I can't tell you what theirs is like. I guess that makes something to go back for when we are next stateside this summer.Kid-friendliness: The meat and cheese pizzas were great as simple ones that the kids liked without huge spiciness or herbsWheelchair accessibility: It's a level entry“

“This is a gem in Greenville. They serve freshly made pastas and have an extensive wine menu. This isn't the typical Italian restaurant with 3 pastas and a red and white sauce. This is elevated but not in a weird, stuffy way. It's a lively atmosphere with good food and amazing service. It's definitely worth a visit and if the weather is good the seats on the balcony are a great spot for dinner with a view.“

“Outstanding old school Italian cuisine. Reminded me of resteraunts in old Italian neighborhoods back in Chicago. I know that this is a Greenville institution, and so glad I finally got to experience it.One caveat it is tiny and first come first serve. If you are okay eating later it is easier to get in after 7:00 on the weekends than earlier“

“Top notch service and delicious meal. We placed our order and the waitress returned with drinks and bread. This bread is to die for!! Our food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious! Our meals included wings, pasta sampler, pizza, and chicken parm. We all had leftovers to take home!“

“An excellent family owned and operated authentic italian restaurant. Impeccable standards and exceptional food and service. The restaurant is quiet enough for a business dinner, has atmosphere for a date night, but the food is the stand out. If I have another opportunity to dine here I will certainly return!“

“I’m If you havent been to this gem of a place, I highly recommend make it out to Fountain inn to give them a try! The people are so sweet and friendly!! The pastries are to dieeeeee for! And to top it off, they aren’t crazy expensive! We will definitely be back!!“

“This restaurant is very nice with a warm cozy vibe and fine dining experience. I had the Wagyu meatballs and lasagna. They were both outstanding! The meatballs are a bit pricey (2 for $18).The lasagna noodles were cooked Al dente, its was very meaty, and a large potion.“

“Belladina's offered some of the best pizza I've had in Greenville. Their sauce is beautifully balanced-- flavorful without overpowering the rest of the toppings.When we visited, it felt like we were walking into a family's kitchen. Everyone was kind, attentive. We were visited by multiple people there, from kids to older adults, and I felt genuinely welcomed.One thing that stood out to me during my visit was when my husband ordered a couple of slices for my daughter, they asked if they could cut it up differently for her, to make it easier for her. Though a small gesture, I appreciated the thoughtfulness of it.I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. Thanks, Belladina's!“

“Decent Italian food. Homemade pasta so I tried the bolognese which was salty and a very small portion for $19. No bread, no salad just a small bowl of pasta. Parking is a nightmare when they are busy but I would go again just not go hungry. I stopped for a small burger on the way home at McDonalds because I was still hungry.“

“Went to eat here for our 25th anniversary. Our waiter.....mid 30s with a beard, was great. Cant remember his name, sorry. Food was great except for it being luke warm and a little food. Swordfish and crab with asparagus was next level ! Our waiter blessed up with some lemon wine beverage for our anniversary that was so good. We sat out side, a tad noisey with the corn hole and drunks at the bar, but it all cant be perfect right? I liked Nantucket better, but this will do.“

“Waiter Daniel did an excellent job, food was great,i called ahead for seating due to handicaps and was seated quickly; however there was no handicapped spot open so had to walk from the side which was quite difficult so would have to think twice about dining there again?“

“I've been coming to bada bing for close to 10 years now and now I have to drive almost an hour just to get their food but I will because it's the best pizza hands down anywhere around here. It's definitely pricey but worth it in my opinion.“

“I've never had a bad meal at Tito's. It has a cozy, hole in the wall feel and the owners passion for food shines through in every dish. The pizza and chicken fettuccine are excellent. They have one of the best house-made marinara sauces you'll ever eat anywhere. And the homemade tiramisu is unreal. 5“

“We got the gnocchi and the West Village pizza both had incredible flavors. The Bolognese tasted incredibly fresh and the gnocchi was perfectly cooked.But the show stopper was the pizza. They had the perfect amount of toppings, the sausage was incredible, the flavor of the dough/crust was some of the best I've had.My husband said "that pizza may have ruined me". We can't wait to go back!“

“Came with a few friends and ordered family-style. They obviously don't get many doing this, as the wait staff seemed kinda confused. Started with a pizza as an appetizer and it was really good. One of my friends said it was Greek-style pizza, pretty dense, and loaded with cheese. Good, stable crust to hold all that cheese, but not much crust on the edges. We also shared a few other dishes like chicken parm, garlic bread, salad, fettuccini carbonara, gyro platter, and pastitsio. It was all pretty good and satisfying. Service was fine, but too full to get dessert.“

“There were some things to like and some things not to like. When we arrived, all four of us (adults) commented on the pleasing decor. We were greeted warmly. When we asked for a booth instead of one of the open tables, they happily went and cleaned one off.The server took a while to get to us, but he was very pleasant too. However, he seemed to have a little language trouble understanding us. I ordered some garlic knots with cheese. They were a generous portion for us all to share. Delicious too.After we had placed our entree orders, the two of our group who ordered side salads got theirs quite quickly. Both said they were delicious, but our expectation was that a side salad is delivered with the entree, not as a separate course while the other two had nothing yet.All four entrees came out together. My Chicken Parmigiana was delicious and I would definitely have it again. There was enough to take home. My wife had Chicken Piccata and she liked hers too. Also enough to take home. One of our friends had the Chicken Marsala and he was not real pleased with it. However, he’s generally not a big fan of Italian food. He said he’d choose the Eggplant Parmigiana next time. Our other friend had the Vegetable Lasagna. She was also a bit disappointed because there wasn’t really any vegetables. Just pasta and sauce. She would not order it again.Will we go back. Probably. The pizza some other folks had looked incredible.“

“The lasagna was the best I've had in a long time!! This was also my first time buying the meal prep packages. So far, I'm very impressed!! I ate the BLT Caesar salad today. Tomorrow,I'm having the stuffed chicken breast and rice!“

“I took my wife here on Valentine's Day and it was absolutely delicious. We have been driving by the location for many years and I always wanted to go. This is probably one of the best (IMO) Italian restaurants in GVL. I love Trattoria Giorgio's and this place is right up there along side it. I can't recommend it enough and make sure I mention it to anyone looking for a date night out.“

“I met with my Aunt and Grandmother last week for lunch. It was such a nice place to come have lunch, I took my bestfriend for dinner on her birthday a couple days after. We all enjoyed everything we got! The lasagna is the best, but my aunt would disagree saying the Beef Zorba is better. My niece said the tiramisu gets the spot for number one! We may not agree which plate gets 1st spot but we all agree that this restaurant is with out doubt number 1 in Greenville, and probably the entire state. It is a regular place for us now and the servers greet us by name. It is high quality with a nice atmosphere! My families favorite.“

“The food was really good and fresh. I felt like someone cooked for me at home. The cajun shrimp pasta was amazing! My friend also enjoyed the fried chicken dinner.Service was excellent! Our cups never ran out of the drink. We never had to look for the server. Very good service and no complaints on food.“

“The restaurant is on the smaller side. More of a family dinner feel. The pasta sauce was flavorful, and so was the chicken. I added tomatoes and spinach and mushroom to mine. It was delicious! My husband had the butter garlic sauce, and he loved it as well. A nice size portions, too“

“For a Saturday night, it wasn't crazy. The food was excellent, tasted fresh, and we had huge portions. It's in a strip mall, oddly behind another Greek place in the front of the mall parking lot, but totally worth finding. The staff was friendly and quick with drink refills. We sat in the bar area and the tvs were on but not intrusive. We could easily talk over dinner without noise from the TV. The menu has a ton of options, and they all sounded great, but the Combo platter was an excellent way to sample various dishes.“

“Extremely nice people behind the counter when I picked up my pizza and salad. I’m pretty picky with pizza and we have tried a lot of different places around Greenville and their pizza is probably a 7/10 which is not bad! We will probably come in to dine in since it looks spacious in the restaurant. Desserts look good too!“

“These is a great pizza place. Food is really delicious. Like the atmosphere and seeing the pizza being made. Tasted the Great White and Pepperoni and it was great! Love the thinner crust and the brick oven. Great place for family. Will come back to try other pizzas.“

“This place is beyond AMAZING, in all areas. Our waiter was more than helpful and so friendly. He kept our drinks filled and helped recommend wonderful entrees. We started with yeast rolls and salad, probably the freshest salad I have ever eaten. And them rolls......whoa. We got the Arancini appetizer, never heard of it. If you haven't had it, get it. It is amazing!!! We also split the lobster ravioli and the Red Snapper Francese. All I can say is wow. Both entrees were packed with flavor. Then we finished it off with the Lemon Blueberry Marscapone pound cake(I think that's the name, you get the idea). It literally melts in your mouth. It is like eating a cheesecake and pound cake together. If you need a night out, come here. You can't be disappointed with anything on the menu. Our new favorite date night restaurant!!!“

“Never written a review in my life on here but I saw the reviews weren't great and I am currently on the drive back from leaving the reservation and this is the best food I've ever had. Don't go anywhere else for Italian in Greenville period. I've eaten at them all. I had the penne and my boyfriend had the bolognese and we split the lobster ravioli. Ravioli was incredible and the penne was the best. Bolognese was good too!!“

“First time there, small issue with my food...BUT, the manager and server were so gracious. They more than made up for it with their understanding and dessert. It's great to see service like this in this day and age.Everything was delicious and they have great staff. We'll be back!“

“This location is way better than the Pelham Road store by far. Great pizza by the slice from 11-4 daily. I did not realize they don't make slices during dinner service, so be sure to order ahead and arrive with tempered expectations. Pizza is amazing, sized perfectly, great crispy crust that passes the fold test, sauce has tons of flavor and they proudly use Grande mozzarella. I love this place. It really reminds me of Famous Ray's in Time Square which is my favorite pizza in NYC. This place is Jersey Boy and Paisan approved!!“

“I live about a half mile from the Capri's in Easley. Before I moved to Easley in 1987 I lived about 1 mile from the Capri's in Greenville that was on Augusta Road. So I've been eating Capri's food for many many years and I have always loved it. So when I found out that there was a Capri's Now on Pelham Road I was eager to try it. The food was excellent, and the service was good, but the only problem we had was the table we sat at was right in front of a huge window which did have a screen on it, but the sun was shining directly in our face, even through the screen. That was very uncomfortable. Other than that everything else was really good and the prices are cheaper at the one on Pelham Road than they are at the one in Easley, but the food is just as good.“

“Beautiful restaurant in Greenville. Enjoyed my wife and I Anniversary meal today. Below you will see the menu and our two entrees. First and foremost…get the Italian Nachos for an appetizer or for your meal. You will not be disappointed…it is very good and delicious. First entree was the Piccata style house favorite and second was the Sinatra Style. Both were great. Service was quick and professional, nice atmosphere as well. I also need to add a special touch they have. Dominican Republic hand rolled cigars for purchase.“

“Love this restaurant! There's not a bad choice on the menu . . . Everything is delicious and served with professionalism, and attention to detail.The staff works together, in concert, to assure you a tasty, dining experience. Bravo Napoli!Vegetarian options: I'm a celiac. I can order straight off the menu or they willingly work with me to make my meal gluten free. There are plenty of vegetarian choices as well.Kid-friendliness: The more kids the merrier!Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant wheelchair accessible.“

“We are regulars on Wednesday evenings for the kids eat free. The food is always prepared well. The service is excellent! The staff address us quickly after entering, prepare our food quickly/accurately, and very polite. They’re constantly doing work, never idle. If there are no customers they are prepping, cleaning, or checking in with the customers. It is nice to see the same employees and I know the kids have some high energy but we never feel like they’re bothered. If I could hire them at my workplace I would not hesitate.“

“We have enjoyed their delivery service for many years. The staff is ALWAYS super polite, but last night they went above and beyond. With the strong winds, we had a tree down blocking our road. Jennifer talked with the owners and driver and they were more than willing to meet me on our property facing the highway to deliver food. So grateful for their decency and willingness to help b/c our power went out right when we started cooking supper. LOVE Little Italy of Piedmont!“

“Hands down the best pizza place in Greenville! I think the sauce is what really makes this pizza incredible. I always get the cheese pizza and add chicken. It’s melt in your mouth amazing and this is always a huge treat for me to get their pizza!“

“Attended for lunch w/ 6 friends. All ordered different items and all were perfect and tasty. All seven of us needed separate checks which was done perfectly (with a portable card reader). They put us in an alcove so we could chat amongst ourselves. Very comfortable and the food was very reasonably priced. All were pleased.“

“We love, love Cucina's! It is our "go to" restaurant in Fountain Inn! The entire staff is wonderful! Toni Ann, the manager, Elaine, one of the bartenders and Cameron, waitstaff are the ones we deal with most often and they are amazing! I highly recommend Cucina's! Check out their menu and the daily deals!“

“I visited on Cinco De Mayo and to say they were busy is an understatement, in fact when I ordered I had to get it to go since they were at capacity. However, even though they were busy, the service was great. It was fast, friendly, and honestly a good experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was quant with a fair amount of seating, as well as outside seating. I ordered a small pepperoni jalapeno pizza and a tiramisu. The pizza was splendid with a crispy crust, and it was super cheesy (the cheese pull was a pleasant surprise). It was a little oily, but I didn't mind, extra flavor. I've been on the hunt for a really good tiramisu and I'm happy to say I've finally found it! It had the perfect texture and taste, with the coffee being present, but not overpowering. It is heavy on the cream, but in the best way because it's not overly sweet. Highly recommend if you love tiramisu. Overall I'm excited to go back for more.“

“I ended up at the Olive Garden in Cherrydale. I ordered the Seafood Alfredo soup and salad.Vegetarian options: The endless soup and salad is great.Parking: They need more handicapped accessibility parking.Kid-friendliness: They have coloring books.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy for wheelchair service“

“Our first time here after living in the area for the past five years…what took us so long? The food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. I had the fish and chips, and it was golden brown. It came with steak fries and I added a side Greek salad. Loved it all! My wife had the salmon lunch special which was smaller than the regular salmon dinner, but still plenty big. Lots of seating inside and a nice covered patio. We’ll be back!“

“Love the grinders here. Our family has a dispute between who's better Bellacino's or Jimmy John's. 3 out 4 pick Bellcino's.I usually get the A1 Bomber...oh so good. This time I branched out and ordered the rueben. Dang it was good too. I think I should atleast try all if them once.“

“Everything was very good ,salad bar very neat and Everything was full and fresh. Several pizzas were on the buffet.The entire dining area was very clean ,and service was very good .Vegetarian options: You can order some items are request the kind of topping you want.“

“Food was wonderful, customer service was alright they were trying to serve our orders the way we wanted, the atmosphere was decent nothing flashy just plain casual.Parking: Handicapped parkingKid-friendliness: They are sweet, a little agitated it seems I think for the sculpture I ask what was about.“

“Simple but fancy/elegant place. I went with my mom & toddler. It was probably some of the BEST food I’ve ever eaten (you have to try the minestrone soup) & the chef was so cordial. He spoke to us before we left and made sure that we liked everything (we loved it) and he gave my toddler a lollipop too. We will definitely be back! The prices were reasonable and well worth it as well, I don’t think I’ve ever had such flavorful food for the price we paid ($50 for three people, & all of us ordered WAY too much food). So glad we tried this today!!!Kid-friendliness: It looked fancier than we had thought it would be… but they welcomed us with our toddler too. ☺️“

“Wow. What a little gem of a restaurant in Five Forks. The reviews were mixed but we thought we would take a chance and I'm so glad that we did. Danny, the Bartender, was our waiter! He kept really busy managing all of the tables. We enjoyed our meals and looked the atmosphere of the place. We aren't here often but would certainly return!!“

“Always friendly, never screw up the order, food is legit...We always do take out so I can't speak objectively about ambiance, except that I've never been turned off by it. It's old school for sure, and this old geezer's okay with that;)“

“Absolutely 100% NY Style pizza thru and thru. Excellent undercarriage, perfect kiss of char on the crust, NY fold, cheese, sauce, toppings all A+. I will make this a stop everytime I come to town for business or personal. Perfectly thin with a crunch. Felt like I was standing on the streets of NY eating a big slice of pie. Support local, do not go to a dominos or pizza hut with this joint nearby. It blows all of those corporate pizzas out of the water.“

“We got our food very quickly. Our server, Hannah, was very nice and brought us more bread sticks and drink refills without us having to ask!Vegetarian options: I'm not a vegetarian, but I noticed that many items were labeled with a (v).“
