BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Italian Food Your Favorite Italian Restaurants

We love Italian. We came across this little place in South Carolina called Portifinos. It is near Myrtle Beach. We go there everytime we go visit the beach now. Sometimes twice in a week. I was disappointed last time because they don't serve lunch.

Maggiano's is pretty good. I remember the first time we went to one was in Atlanta. We walked out with two bags of left overs.

I like Sabatinos too, but Chiaparellis in Baltimore is my favorite!

We enjoyed Umbarto's in Myrtle Beach. Food was great and service wonderful. Will go there each time we visit

Well, I live in Germany and there's this great restaurant locally called Carpaccio's. It's some of the best Italian food I've ever had.

In Vicenza, Italy, I ate at this great place called Giada's. It was super inexpensive as well.

I know Giada's! It's very good, but pricey.

One of my favorites is Reghetti's.

It's a unique 'cafeteria' restaurant. Located near the Cathedral and only open during the lunch hour. Hurry to get a seat. It is the best way to try the dishes you might order at more expensive restaurants. Tell the service staff what special of the day you would like and get your own drink. You can have a delicious meal for under $10 (with wine) and try the bolito misto or baccala.

I also like Ricardos in Tallahassee, Fl. My mom takes me there when I visit her. It is great. It is done in I love Lucy stuff. They are always busy.

I found a great place in Florida. Emilio's Italian Restaurants in Sunset, FL. We took my inlaws during a visit and they go back almost every week now.

I love eating at Romano's Macaroni Grill in Mobile, Alabama. The food is as close to authentic as you could get.

The Macaroni Grill is another good chain. I like the build your pasta bowl. My only complaint about the one in Huntsville is that is always too crowded <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> .
