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.“

“This charming spot exudes a lively ambiance, making it an ideal place to unwind with friends over drinks. The background music is minimal, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere. While the service may be slow during peak hours, the customer service remains fair and attentive.

However, I must express my disappointment with their steak. It was excessively gristle-filled, which could have been an unfortunate coincidence with the particular cut I received. Nevertheless, I’m willing to give them another chance for drinks, but their steak is definitely not on my list of must-try dishes. 😉“

“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 :)“

“I’d never been and decided that needed to change and loved it! Had the Hot Honey and it was fantastic! Both the pizza and the salad were ordered arrived quickly. Awesome flavor, fresh ingredients, and a staff that was very friendly.“

“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!“

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

“Came here as a date with my wife after a stressful week and I had Leylani! She was the sweetest person ever and she got my order perfect. She was so attentive and quick with everything. Truly she made my day. I honestly have never had better service at an Olive Garden before so I’m beyond pleased! I hope she gets all the recognition she deserves and I hope to have her again!“

“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!“

“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 :)“
