I've been to this place a few times, and haven't really found anything on the menu that I've liked. I've given it multiple chances, but I've found this restaurant to be quite overhyped. The person making my food was not wearing gloves, which is not sanitary, and I did not observe him washing his hands before preparing it. So far I have tried the lamb over rice, spicy pasta, calzones and the pizza. The pizza and the calzone are fine, but I've gotten sick from the pasta both of the times that I have tried it, and the small amount of shrimp for the massive portion of pasta made me a little sad. The lamb over rice was alright, but I found the portion of meat was pretty small, which was the best part of the dish, and the lettuce was wilted and some pieces were brown and slimy so I had to pick them out. All their food is ridiculously greasy, which is great if that's what you are looking for, but I personally prefer my food with a little less oil. There is very limited seating and is very cramped, so be prepared to take it home and eat it. The wait times can be a little long, so definitely order online beforehand. It's open very late, so this place is probably best experienced coming back from a night out. read more

Food portions where very big and the experience was very good. I went to the shop as soon as they opened and ordered with not too long of a wait for my food. Overall very good. read more

Great late night food post study sessions. On main street so easy to walk Food: Lamb over rice with white sauce is the go-to. very tasty and very decently priced. Service: they're friendly but the food does take some time to come through. Ambiance: limited seating for eating in, normally order take out read more

Wish I had discovered this place sooner! My boyfriend and I decided to check this off our bucket list before we graduated because so many of our friends recommend we order takeout from here. We placed an order online for pickup and it was ready within 30 minutes! Although we didn't receive a text saying it's ready, the two of us made our way to Italiano's once we neared the estimated availability time. For the price, we got a lot of food! And our meals were packaged very well to avoid spillage in the car ride home. Thank you so much! read more

My husband and I ordered pizza at 11:11 PM. We were asked to pay for the pizza ahead of time instead of paying for the pizza upon arrival. We were told that we would receive a call once the pizza was on the way. We waited over an hour and made multiple attempts to contact the restaurant. The line was busy every time we called. We watched other hotel guests receive pizzas from other businesses during this time. I'd recommend ordering pizza from a different restaurant. read more

I have to say, Italiano's is one of my favorite restaurant around Blacksburg because it's got some good food, has great portion sizing, and stays open way late. I would have to say the "Lamb Over Rice" is my favorite dish, with about half or even less amount of white sauce (not pictured). The Cheesesteak has to be my second favorite. Tastes great and comes close to the quality of an authentic Philly Cheesesteak; Obviously Philly Cheesesteaks are better. The wings were also pretty solid, majority were wings but the sizing was adequate and I was pleased with how they turned out. A little dry and tough but nonetheless tasted good. The pasta however was pretty bad. It was way too heavy in cream and I simply did not enjoy this dish at all. Another plus is that the food stays piping hot even after their delivery! One thing I would take off points for would be their online ordering system. They have not followed my special requests twice in a row so just be cautious of that. I.e there was an option for a side of mayo on the Cheesesteak. I clicked that option and got mayo in my Cheesesteak, not too big of a deal but still. Overall, would definitely be a repeating customer! read more

So good! Think NYC's Halal Guys. We got the Mixed Chicken and Lamb Gyro plate, fries, and one pita to share. Generous portions, made on the spot so the food is fresh and piping hot! The gyro is sliced from a rotating spit. The owner/manager was super nice and friendly. There's only 7-8 seats available inside. Most students are doing pick ups. It's a wonderful "hole in the wall" small business. I would eat here every day if I lived in the area. read more

Italiano's - Chicken & Lamb Gyro plate-also contains rice, romaine, and white sauce with touch of spicy sauce. Very fresh, hot, and delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Food was insanely good. Definitely worth the wait on the busy weekend nights. It looks like a hole in the wall but don't worry it is so worth it. read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. Listen... if you are looking for a fine dining establishment where you are waited on this is not the place BUT their food is out of this world. The chicken and lamb over rice is fantastic. It's reasonably priced with great portion sizing and is truly made with fresh ingredients. One time I found an onion skin in my bowl... I wasn't mad at it. That means the chef (or someone) is freshly peeling and cutting onions in the back. The chicken is cooked to be nice a juicy. The vegetables bring a perfect crunch and the lamb has great flavor without being too "lamby" if you know what I mean. I have been getting take out from here for nearly three years now and really see how they are trying to improve on the customer service end. They brought tables in which are great for when you are waiting for your order to be ready. The ambiance is definitely not the right ambiance for dining in but honestly picking it up is so quick and easy that it's not a bother to get takeout. You are allowed to eat inside there but nobody really does. The men working there are hard workers and have a very small staff so most of the time they are multitasking hence they come off rushed or unfriendly at times but they are nice guys! I see their growth and I applaud them for it. This place will be one of the things I miss most about Blacksburg come graduation. I have not tried their other foods because the rice plates are irresistible but I have heard that their calzones are really good too! Also they are open very late so it makes it convenient for whenever you want a hearty, healthy, filling meal. I usually call for pick up and it takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes for them to prepare the food--very quick especially for the quality! read more

Best halal food around! I recommend the mix over rice if you are feeling normal but the Philly cheese steak calzone if you are regular. The gyros are also amazing. Those are their specialties really! Also halal read more

Food and service was really good. We ordered a couple of large pizzas and they were piled high with cheese!

Best pizza I have tasted in Blacksburg* . Fresh ingredients and full of flavor. Not too dry or too saucy or too greasy. Just right. Greek salad is HUGE and also fresh: sharp onions, crispy lettuce, & chunky tomato slices. If you're going to have a "cheat meal" you want it to be worth it. Italianos didn't disappoint. And the delivery man was friendly and confirmed we received the correct order ( which is not the case with door dash) First time ordering 14" Supreme pizza & a Greek Salad. (Usually have their calzone or lamb rice which is also 5 stars) (*Have tried bennys, dominos, papa johns, & mellow mushroom) read more

Wow, what a hidden gem. This place absolutely deserves more business! I used to get halal platters from food trucks all the time in New Jersey and was pleasantly surprised by Italiano's. Highly recommend the chicken and lamb over rice combo platter! The red sauce gives it the perfect little kick without being overwhelmingly spicy. Plus, the portions are perfect for the price. My only regret is not finding it sooner! read more

Gives off a fine dining sort of feel. The employees are all very patient and welcoming. Food is great too. Would totally recommend.

Amazing gyros and garlic bread. Super legit place! :) Everyone who works here is really friendly too! I'll definitely be back to try the other menu items soon. read more

This is one of the best Philly style cheesesteak's that I have eaten. I've been to Philly, I know how to order & I travel the country for a living. Try it for yourself, I doubt you'll be disappointed. There is no dine in seating. read more

The dirtiest restaurant in town with the rudest staff. Seriously, just go there and see for yourself. I've made the mistake of ordering a delivery on thanksgiving only cuz other places were closed and had to wait 1h30 min for a delivery which ended up not even arriving. When I called asking abt it, the driver picked up and claimed he called me when he was there and when I didn't pick up he just left lol. Keep in mind , it was a no contact drop off order. Secondly , he lied abt me giving him a false number which it isn't true , because I even have the screenshot of my delivery on Grubhub with my phone number on it .So after an argument with the rude staff , he refused to deliver it and I ended up not getting any food for the night. read more

Found half of a fork in my calzone. Disgusting kitchen with ugly workers. Xoxo. 3 because despite this the food taste good.

I ordered a pizza for my daughter's birthday but the order never arrived. The driver said that he called and texted the number I provided multiple times but that did not happen. Then, the order was left OUTSIDE HER APARTMENT BUILDING! Who does that? Of course, when I told my daughter to check, it wasn't there. And to top it off, they were extremely rude! I was told there was nothing they could do. They were nasty, rude, and unprofessional. I never write reviews but they were so unprofessional, I wanted to warn others. Do not patronize this business. They will take your money and lie. read more

Workers seemed disgruntled. Said very little to nothing. Pizza was super dense. Canned items. Not super fresh, not super great, not friendly or delicious. Hard pass on a round two. read more

It's not so common that you experience a restaurant that cares more about how much their guests enjoy the food than how much money they make... Italianos is the best example of this elite tier of restaurant; their food is always hot, fresh, and made with integrity. These guys are not much for conversation, but they are obviously all-in when it comes to quality halal meals, much better than The Halal Guys and any other similar restaurant I've had. Try the lamb over rice read more

Italiano's - Amazing garlic knots. Yes, I know, garlic knots usually disappoint... but knot this time. - Pizza Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Best place. The service isn't the best but with the way this slaps, you tend to let it go

The worst customer service. Ordered a chicken Alfredo and i was disgusting and had hair in all the food. If you need late night food in Blacksburg do not come here. The cashier is. spoiled college girl who used racial slurs at the counter. read more

This is a must go to every time I come back to visit Blacksburg. All my friends all say this place is better than Halal Guys, so if you like them, you'll probably love the lamb/chicken over rice platters! One thing about this place is they seem to do whatever they want with their hours. They close early and just put a sign on the door or open late. It would be wise to call in ahead just to make sure they're open before you make the trek there! read more

Best halal food in Blacksburg. Everything else is p good too- pizza, cheesesteak, chicken parm sub. GET THE CHEESY GARLIC KNOTS SIDE.

They have great Pizzas. I tried their Chicken Sicilian and NY style Supreme pizza...one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. Their gyro is also good. Plus this is one of the few places in Blacksburg that has halal meat. Make sure you ask them about what dishes are halal and clarify about zabiha. read more

This place is amazing! Visiting my son in Blacksburg and he ordered me a lamb Gyro and Buffalo chicken garlic knots. The gyro was the best I ever had (I have ate 100's) and the knots were delicious but can't say best ever because not sure I have ever had this exact combo very original, but perfect comfort food! Enjoy read more

Italiano's is probably one of my favorite places in Blacksburg. Their food reminds me of halal guys in New York. Italiano's has so many options however I always get the lamb over rice. Which is equivalent to halal guys gyro over rice. However, at Italiano's its lamb not beef which makes it so much better in my opinion. I also get white sauce and barbecue sauce to the lamb over rice. The white sauce is nice and creamy very ranch like if you like ranch. While the barbecue sauce has a slight tang and sweetness which works well with the slightly salted lamb. The service is also always friendly, however if you order online, they sometimes mess it up or delivery time comes 30 minutes later than expected. So if you go to Italiano's I suggest going in person is the best and order take out. Overall, I highly suggest you go to Italiano's if you never been. Just go in person and grab take out so that you can get your food as fast as possible. read more

Too bad, they don't care about hygiene and cleaning stuff there. I found bugs inside food (mix over rice)!!! They don't even refund me even they asked for my credit # to refund. No response from them yet, after 2 months !!!!! Take care of your health, if you order from that place. Not recommended anymore!!! read more

I ordered the spicy chicken pasta kinda expecting the worst from a hole in the wall place and this has to be the worst plate of pasta I've ever had in my life. I'm not even sure it this was meant to be an Italian dish because it just smells of curry. Also not a big deal but the menu said it was ziti but the dish has penne in it. This is my first review and I felt obligated to write it because I am horrified. read more

This place is great. It gets busy on weekends so order ahead of time. I love their calzones, but my friends get burgers from there and love em. Not the place I'd think to get burgers from, but I'll have to see for myself in a future review! read more

Placed online order for delivery. Long wait. Called several times to check delivery status. Busy dial tone. Every. Time. At one point I wasn't sure if they were open, much less would deliver the food. But they eventually came with my food as ordered. Cajun fries are pretty good, the ranch dressing was a nice touch. The chicken philly on the other hand, I thought was relatively mediocre to the grandeur description listed on their website. While most people would rejoice to the overwhelming amount of meat, it was simply too much. And the cheese, the liquid "cheese" goo they used, is what really killed it for me. This sandwich may have been delicious if it weren't for the cheese chosen for the sandwich. IF there is a next time, I will probably order it without.. All in all. I am satisfied that I was still able to eat tonight, extremely dissatisfied with lack of communication availability, but overall eventually got to eat a pretty OKAY meal. read more

Although with an Italian name, this place offers primarily halal food. If you want a rice bowl at this place, I highly recommend the mixed chicken and lamb over rice. With the dedication to providing fresh food, this restaurant only grills meat after ordering, so no drive-through option. It is not a fast food place. Average waiting time is 10-15 min. read more
