11 Best Italian Restaurants in Tacoma

“I normally don’t review a restaurant after one visit, but Marzano was exceptional. It’s an approachable fine dining experience. The staff was great, and definitely give the impression that they genuinely care about your visit. We took a chance on the appetizer special, and were very happy that we stepped outside our comfort zone (Traditional Venetian antipasto of marinated salt cod on squid ink polenta cakes paired with whipped ciccione crostini, sour cherries and hazelnuts). The lasagna bolognese and carbonara were absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last. I’ve never had better.“

“We were lucky enough to have three awesome servers take care of us: Rachel, Hugo, and Jami. It was our first time at Primo and we will now be regulars! Our group of three had a pizza, two salads (Caesar and house), calamari, fried cauliflower, mussels. Everything was amazing. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked thru the door and service was just the right balance of attentive/informative—but not “hovering.” Highly recommend checking it out! (The happy hour looks rockin…)“

“I have never had pizza to go and went there tonight. The second I walked in Patrick, Danni and Giuseppe were so warm, welcoming and quite the comedians! They suggested a glass of wine while I waited for my pizza so I went and had a glass of wine. The bartender was just as amazing as them! Hands down the best customer service in a long time and the pizza was outstanding! I'll definitely be back! Thank you :)“

“We were greeted and seated with no reservation. Service and food were impeccable. SJ“

“Phenomenal food! Cheesy bread twists are definitely a must as well. Best pizza i have ever had and the customer service/attentiveness is top notch definitely 5 ⭐️“

“if Kenzie is your server, you'll have the best service around. Its rare nowadays to find a good waitress that actually dererves the tips. She blew both me and my party away with how friendly she was! 10/10. She 100% deserves recognition!“

“I placed an ordered for an appetizer (fried lasagna) and an order of bread sticks with alfredo sauce before I left work. I arrived 4 minutes after I was notified that my order was ready. Service was quick and professional. The fried lasagna was for dinner when I got home. The bread and sauce was for my commute home. Everything tasted great except half of the bread sticks were extremely stale. They were hard and not at all fresh. The other half were lovely, yummy, and soft. I literally ate them immediatelyso there was no chance for them to grow stale. I'm guessing that staff pawned off the stale bread sticks on a to-go order as a way to use them up and assumed it was less likely for a customer to turn around and complain. They were right, but I'll be checking the bread from here on out.“

“West 122 is an absolute gem! The steak and lamb were beyond incredible—perfectly cooked, tender, and truly melted in our mouths. It was such a pleasure meeting Executive Chef Keno and bartender David. Both were exceptionally engaging, offering thoughtful guidance on our food and drink selections. I enjoyed a perfectly paired wine, while my husband savored a fine whiskey—both recommendations were spot on! The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. West 122 has certainly set the bar high, and it’s definitely a place we will revisit!“

“Half Pint is a perfect little dive bar pizza place! Such a fun hangout spot, and trivia on Thursdays at 8!“

“Simply excellent pizza and service, absolutely legit fresh food. Highly recommended“

“We come here a lot for New York Style Pizza. You get waaaay better deals on whole pizza(a) when you order through the app. They also have good specials on the app. They prepare everything fresh and the staff is always accommodating. Thank you :)“
