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.“

“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 seated minutes after arriving. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and skilled. Our server knew everything about the menu and handled our dietary restrictions with aplomb. The food was outstanding. (Wish I knew how to prepare a pork chop like that!) The dining area was inviting with exposed steel, brick, and wood floors. However, I miss the days when I could be heard across the table without shouting. Overall, a great experience. We will be back.“

“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 ⭐️“

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

“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!“

“Our server was Armani. He was so kind and is really good at his job. He deserves either a raise, bonus, and or promotion. He went above and beyond, and that is why we will be coming back again to this location.🙂

Memo aka Guillermo was also amazing. So kind even though it was so late. Gave his all. Made sure we had everything! He deserves a raise!“

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

“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!“

“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 :)“
