Old school Italian. It's becoming the Sunday night place for a family dinner. It's not fancy but it is consistently good. I haven't tried their pizza but their pork chops, shrimp dishes and every entree has been tasty. Great bread, a carafe of Chianti and Gorgonzola salad are recommended. Frank the waiter has been there for decades and provides good service and speaks something like six languages. If you aren't looking for fancy Italian this is a solid choice. read more

I don't know who made that spaghetti tonight but it was absolutely delicious. It was fresh, didn't taste like anything out of a can, and it had so much flavor. I couldn't stop eating it!!! read more

Kind of tired of ordering the same exact thing week after week and the prices change, one week im paying $11 one week im paying $13 the next week im paying $15.50... or even a kids meal that goes from $7.50 to $10.25, inflation be dammed that type of inconsistency is a joke. read more

Came here with a friend, treated like family. The food was great! Garlic bread was delicious, the cheese pull was insane. The pizza was scrumptious, cheese with garlic is a must. The food came fast and hot, server was delightful. The restaurant is nice with lots of alcohol selections. Will be back! read more

We went in with a local flavor coupon and they would not honor it. Lots of back and forth. Good pizza but bad management

All a amazing great family restaurant Open in 1976 by the owners Ciro and Josephine Taccone and there children. Chef Vinny came into the family at 13 years old and still cooking away. read more

An Italian restaurant of the old school. The bread was great with a nice hard crust. Our grandchildren ate all their pizza. We enjoyed our ravioli and lasagna. read more

As long time frequenters of Italia and big fans of Frank, we decided on dinner here tonight. Our experience was not as expected at all. While the waitress was sweet, it was obvious she was busy. Each course had something missing, with dinner being the biggest problem. Three of four dinners came out and we waited and waited for at least 15 mins. We had to send someone to find someone to follow up on the fourth dish. We tried to explain our frustrations to the manager/owner and were met with an attitude and possibly some of the worst costumer service we've ever experienced. We will not be returning. read more

Delicious food, warm friendly service! If you're looking for Italian food like Grandma used to make- this is it.

Nothing to write home about. The place looked very Italian authentic. I asked for quick service and got it. Ordered a chicken scorsese. Tasted exactly like the chicken marsala from my university dining hall (which isn't necessarily bad). The waiter explained to me that the difference between scorsese and marsala is that scorsese is more spicy. Overall an average restaurant. Was in and out within 15 minutes, which I liked for a quick lunch. read more

Food - greasy, stale, burned. not one thing was good Service - Atrocious. server was vaping in the restaurant. did not bus our table, there were glasses everywhere. Manager came over when the bus boy was asked to take some glasses and said "you have a waitress for that" and he walked away without removing one glass himself. glasses were on the table the rest of the meal. - Kitchen ate some of our cake without asking... who does that? absolutely terrible. Avoid!! I never leave reviews like this. But the way the night went makes me wonder how they are still in business. read more

Catered our baby shower , food was out of this world and prices were fair!! Love Italia!! Would recommend 10/10

The food was terrific! They make their own bread and it is delicious! Evertithing is made in house, no canned sauce! We had spaghetti with meat sauce & meatballs. My husband had spaghetti with sauage. Both were superb. For dessert (which we didn't need but enjoyed anyway) we had regular tiramisu & lemon tiramisu, again delicious! Can't wait until we can come back! read more

Let me start out saying the food that wasn't cold was very good. Pizza seemed like it had been left out since the morning, chicken parm wedge was luke warm, pasta the same. Called ahead to ask about sodas, placed order to Diet Pepsi and Sprite, received a Diet Pepsi and regular no sprite. I'm waiting for them to bring a new one but it's too late at this point, dinners already done. Pretty bummed as I'd like to give them another shot but won't tolerate such horrible delivery coordinating. read more

Excellent food. I normally don't write reviews. But I have to give credit where credit is due. We had our work Christmas dinner there. From the appetizers and our meal everything was delicious, tasty and very flavorful. Nicely presentation Being Italian and upbringing with good cooks in the family being spoiled with good authentic cooking, hands down to The Chef. The service was great our waitress was very attentive and funny. Can't wait to go back again. read more

I really wanted to give this place a chance; came in with high hopes because the reviews were decent and we were looking to experience an Italian restaurant in Norwalk we have yet to visit. Unfortunately was a sour disappointment; Right from the get-go as we asked for 2 cranberry juices, the drinks came back from the bar and were completely tasteless pale red-colored water that didn't even look like cranberry juice distributed from the bar-soda gun: their Bruschetta is nothing more than their house bread, toasted with cut baby tomato, chopped garlic and drizzled balsamic. It was something you would expect from a roadway diner but not an Italian restaurant. Being an Italian cook myself, the most important starting materials are your cooking oil, and the quality of your garlic and vegetables. Their cooking oil is sub-par and tasted nothing like olive oil and more like motor oil as a background taste to all the food we had, which included a side of broccoli rabe (overcooked and salty with little taste), and my puttanesca sauce on my penne, which had to be by far the worst tasting puttanesca I have ever had. My wife got a meatball with her ravioli which was dry and tasteless, seemingly cooked from frozen with freezer burn. Did not taste fresh by any means. Her ravioli were decent to their credit and their marinara sauce was equally satisfactory. This place has been around for quite a while and seems to be well loved, but due to the poor quality of our food experience we will not be returning. read more

Small Mom & Pop pizza house serving traditional Italian food. Very good pasta, fast service, reasonable prices. Try the Fra Diavolo sauce.

Have been to Italia once before and the server and food was good. Having visited many Italian restaurants over the years my special was very good the last time however others complained there's was ok at best. Gave it a second chance - bday celebration - and was expecting a nice night & good food. Have to say with proper expectations was extremely disappointed. Appetizers were plain while entrees were mediocre "at best". All three entrees went unfinished while my son had the pizza that he enjoyed. The waitress appeared to be over her head given she only had one table. Asked about wines was brought over two bottles an told to choose one. Not a wine snob she knew zero about each nor frankly appeared to not care. She disappeared for most of the night and left my son and 86 year old mom with an empty glass of water and soda ever after attempts to ask for more. Went to the men's room and was greeted with chairs as well as an empty mop and bucket. Hope they regain that magic as is noted in the reviews. Was a complete disappointment and not worth the price. Rarely if ever give negative reviews however this night was a total disappointment- was celebrating my bday with family. I felt bad since I selected the restaurant. read more

Love this place !! Adele and Frank are SO nice and they're fast, professional, and warm. Usually come with the boyfriend's family and they know customers by heart. The food is unmatched and the vibe is home-y. The place is clean and fresh, the food is hot and fresh, and the music is fun and light. 10/10 !! read more

Italia is old school and very authentic. The portions are very large and my husband and his friends love the eggplant parm here. Nice Gorgonzola salad and generous pours of wine. read more

I love this place. Old timeY, family restaurant. Frank is the best waiter in the world. Pasta is homemade and served piping hot in the ceramic dish. Tartuffo is to die for! MANGIA!!! read more

Not what it once was, been good in the past but recent order changed our view. Shorted part of the order on delivery, the two pizzas that made it were both cold (delivery was 20 min late, guessing someone drove around for a long while..), and one was burnt. Took a half hour to redeliver rest of the order. So: 1) Slow delivery with cold pizza's (we live 10 min away at most) 2) One burnt to the point half was inedible 3) Screwed up order - requiring long wait to fix Three strikes on one order.... they are OUT! read more

The pizza was delicious and the crust was crunchy yet fluffy. You can dine outside in the parking lot area. I ran in for 4 slices. He had five left so he just said I'll give you all of them. There wasn't any waters in the the fridge so he pointed me to the pile stacked againt the window. When I asked for a cup of ice he pulled out a cold one from the freezer behind the counter. I found that odd, why wouldn't he offer that to begin with. Anyway, everyone in the kitchen wore a mask and the price was reasonable. read more

If you blink you may miss Italia, it looks like an unassuming store front in a small strip mall. But, once you find it, it is worth it. You would be hard pressed to find a more authentic Italian restaurant than this. Family owned, with service that is very caring. I have been here several times and have enjoyed every meal. read more

The Food is Excellent. The staff is very Friendly and the Service is fast I would recommend this place to a Friend or a Family member and the place is very clean. And very Convenient read more

This was a last minute pick up take out joint for us. Long day at work and decided hot and fresh food would be a better option than anything else in the area. The Yelp reviews were good so we gave it a go. Portions were definitely healthy and everything came with garlic bread. I couldn't finish mine so there was definitely room for two meals. Next we'll try the pizza or some other option as we both ordered the chicken parm this time....way to plan! All in all not a bad mom and pop type joint for some good heartly Italian food! read more

I really do not like this place. I think it is cool that it is a family business, the ambiance if you dine in is pretty inviting, it feels like an Italian home. That however is where it ends. The take out is horrible. One time they had me wait over an hour and a half for a pizza to be done. Just one pizza! The pizza isn't anything spectacular either. Very middle of the road. All of their food is pretty middle of the road to be honest. My family likes this place, but I just don't get the appeal. The prices on regular dishes like pasta and veal parm are very high. The portions of the meat are very small and the food takes a very long time to come out. The parking lot is also horrible. There is very little parking and it is difficult to get in and out. There is no light so turning left is a nightmare. If you want some good Italian food I would suggest going somewhere else. read more

My wife and I did take out from Italia last night, 4.12.21. We had a "lovely" take out experience. Italia is a very nice "old style" Italian restaurant owned by real paisans for many decades and has held it's place even through the pandemic. Last night it was fairly busy (a "Monday" nite!). I had Pork Calabrese (pork, peppers and onions) and my wife had Eggplant Parmigiana. Both of us had "excellent" Salads and Garlic Bread! Italia is authentic and throughout all the many years, has consistently turned out really good Italian food (including pizza).... Thanks Italia for making your restaurant a staple in Norwalk, CT. read more

Attitude from wrong orders sucks. Charges 6$ for a soggy side salad when I ordered the same thing I always do and it was wrong. Baked cheese ravioli comes with a side salad and the manager doesn't know how to spell. I was patient and did come back because the food is good but the attitudes suck at this establishment. Beware if you order because they don't get it right 60% of the time. I always tip good but why would I go back when the female manager doesn't admit her fault. So for 5 ravioli and this salad (not even filled all the way) plus tip I gave him 25$. read more

Italia is one of our favorite restaurants in the Wilton, Norwalk, Westport area. We've been patronizing this restaurant and take out for many years and always had excellent service, outstanding food and memorable experiences. In the last couple of weeks we've ordered takeout of our favorite entrees and they have been: perfectly prepared, nicely packaged, hot, generous portions and delicious as always. If you're looking for high quality takeout during this sheltering period this is an outstanding option. read more

I needed a main course for the dinner party I was hosting and didn't want to spend too much time in the kitchen away from my guests. So, I ordered half a tray of chicken Marsala. It was just perfect! Everyone loved it. It fed 9 people with plenty extra for another time. They even told me what temperature (300) I should keep it warm at in the oven before serving it. I also ordered half a tray of lasagna once before which was also a good experience. read more
