10 Best Italian Restaurants in Tacoma

“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“

“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.“

“Thank you to the new Primo Grill owners! Thank you for the delightful WELCOME from our first point of contact. Her smiles and eye contact and excitement to have us were exactly what we needed after a long tiresome weekend. She is a gem. Thank you for the beautiful and clean and cheerful ambiance. Thank you for our amazing table with the opened window wall which made it feel like we were dining on a rooftop deck. Thank you for the INCREDIBLE SERVICE by the same excellent young lady who welcomed our requests and made us feel important and special and appreciated. She was so engaging and treated us as if we were invited into her own home. Lastly, thank you for your AMAZING chef created offerings. We had the curried mussels- my most favorite dish in the entire state of Washington. Our dear friend who joined us races yachts in Santa Barbara, CA. He knows fine dining, and he was more than impressed with your curried mussels. We also chose your Moroccan Chicken, Pork Chops, and Pasta Carbonara. Everything was delicious. 7 stars if we could go that high. I encourage everyone to host guests at this lovely, intimate, affordable, and welcoming epicurean restaurant. When looking for a perfect spot to escape to on a night when cooking doesn't sound that exciting and also to be able to celebrate all the special people you love the most- CHOOSE PRIMO GRILL.“

“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 used to frequent this place all the time before covid. I keep coming back to see if the food may get better. The last two times, my husband and I ordered Chicken Alfredo. Salad was excellent, as well as the bread sticks. However, once again, the Alfredo sauce was blank and lacked seasoning. I'm so happy I had the waitress add grated cheese to it. I added salt and pepper, but I was disappointed. Service was excellent along with the atmosphere. I just wish food was back on track.“

“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!“
