Prices have gone way up, but portions and quality have gone down. I'm not spending $21 on a small average tasting piece of lasagna then paying like $4 to add a basic side salad on. This is sad because we used to drive over an hour to go there. We heard from someone at the bar at another local place that they think the reason why L'Italia changed so much is because it has different owners now. Our last visit it was a chilly rainy windy day and it was uncomfortably cold in their dining room. The music was also too loud. The straw that broke the camel's back was seeing the smaller menu with higher prices. We chose to go elsewhere. read more

L'italia - Good beer prices. Terrible food prices now. - Italian Near Me - Wellsville, New York

Love our L'Italia! Always my go-to when back home visiting. Owners are spunky, motivated youngsters on the move, who genuinely care about their customers and business. The team works seamlessly together for a very satisfying dining experience, always love their youthful smiles and friendly vibe! I'm a sucker for the same dish, usually, Pasta Chicago (sub tortellini), but have also enjoyed the burger. Tiramisu is my default dessert! Experimented with the pizza too, def a solid choice! Go here! Say hi! read more

We had family at the nearby hospital so we ordered take out. All our food was just as ordered, hot and delicious. The portion sizes were good value for price. Would definitely order again and hope to eat there as the atmosphere was very quaint and comfortable read more

We were in town and decided to try this place. A bit skeptical coming from NYC and used to many good Italian places. Well we all had excellent dishes! All of our food was delicious! I should have taken pictures! We were a table of 10 and we all enjoyed our dinners! We will definitely go back during our next visit. read more

This is a beautiful but simple restaurant. Nicely done without all the decor. The menu was simple and not pages of choices. Great dishes. The specials were delish. Plenty of food, you won't leave hungry. The staff was so friendly and attentive. A hidden gem that we found. The hubby had seafood plate. Fabulous. read more

L'Italia has excellent dinner salads that have been getting smaller and smaller, except for the price. The salads that feature Shrimp would be SO MUCH BETTER if the shrimp was grilled. I've felt that way for years, but nothing has ever changed. Seeing a few gluten-free options on the menu would be wonderful, too. The dessert offerings never change. I think a small change in the type of cheesecake would be phenomenal. I had a white chocolate peppermint cheesecake at a local restaurant and it was out of this world delicious and festive for the holidays. read more

Food was amazing, some of the best Italian food I've ever ate. The service was great, but please read the ticket before you pay, they take out an additional 15 for a tip. Ambiance was warm and pleasant. Over all I recommend this place just read your ticket before you pay. read more

Absolutely love this place.. eat here often with friends and family.. food is spectacular and associates are amazing

Being at the beginning (and the end) of the World's Shortest St Patrick's Day Parade on Main St in Wellsville, Casey and his staff handled a robust and crowded St Patrick's Day! Shelly and I stopped in for something to eat after the parade and were not disappointed. Stuffed Manicotti for Shelly...delicious and too much to finish in one sitting. Who puts coleslaw on a beer battered fish sandwich? L'talia does! Wow! Best fish sandwich I've ever had! We worked our way up to the bar where as you'd expect it was very busy. A nice selection of draft beers, Yuengling, Guinness and several regional crafts. This is quite the place...a lot of hard work on the interior, great food and people! read more

The ambiance is lovely, the waitresses are attentive. However, some of the food isn't quite up to par, for example, the shrimp scampi sauce tastes off to me. I've ordered it twice to see if the first dish was a fluke but it wasn't. I don't know if there was too much wine or lemon juice, but the butter taste doesn't come through, or perhaps the olive oil. read more

Wonderful place to dine or just have cocktails! They have a nice outdoor patio as well. The food is fresh & delicious! read more

My children recently had a surprise birthday party for me at L'Italia . I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was wonderful and the charcuterie boards were not only beautiful but delicious with a huge selection of delicacies. The service was excellent with the wait staff in constant attendance. The owner, Casey Maglier checked in often to make sure we didn't need anything. If your planning an event, I highly recommend L'Italia. read more

Where to begin...My wife and I decided to go out for a nice dinner..Do not believe the local reviews..This place was horrible in everyway..We had a very nice waitress who was having to bartend on top of waiting on tables. This place is very poorly managed..Management must be asleep at the wheel...We don't really care about what a meal cost when's its good...To quote my wife..That was subpar slop..She now has horrible stomach ache and suspects the meatballs were bad...Sauce was really not good..I had a Chicken Parm sandwich which would have been better if a 3 year old microwaved a chicken patty and threw some cheese and ragu on it..Dried out murdered chicken with absolutely no flavor other then perhaps the grill when it was made 3 days ago.... This is an economically depressed area.. Seem like good and kind people...Management should be ashamed charging a couple $80 dollars for a meal. The chef is asleep..Taste the food..Quality test what your putting out......Honor your customers and prepare quality food!!! We will never step foot here again when visiting!! We recommend you keep on driving!!! read more

Went to L'Italia again after we had a bad experience a few years ago. I was not impressed with my dinner. I ordered eggplant Parm. It tasted good but could have had more sauce. I was very surprised at the amount of pasta. They only gave about a half of a cup. They made up for the lack of pasta with a lot of broccoli, that wasn't even mentioned on the menu. I do not like broccoli so that got passed on to my daughter and grand daughter. My grand daughter wouldn't eat it and my daughter said that it was very over cooked and tasted like fish. Another thing is that they don't have any salt, pepper, grated cheese or crushed red pepper on the table. Some of the things that we ordered needed to be seasoned. We are not use to asking for every little thing when dining out. Not sure if I will go back. It was too high priced for what we got. This was just my meal. I didn't give my daughters review of her meal. read more

This is our "go to" place and has been for many years. Although it changed hands a while ago, the quality remains consistently good! The pizza is great and the specials are creative and delicious. The menu is full of delicious choices. The staff is wonderful and extremely accommodating. Wine choices are good and cocktail specials are tasty. We love this place! read more

The food is great, the service is always friendly and accommodating. The ambience is better with their recent updates. read more

Really good quality food and very nice service. Would go out of my way to go here but luckily it's right in town!

Decent food, but they have an overly rated personal opinion of their world. The chief waitress has a ring in her nose, but doesn't seem to know that there's a booger in it. GROSSLY overpriced. Gave my dog the leftovers and he threw up. Worst Bloody Mary on the planet. Kitchen staff were out back taking drugs. read more

Such a great restaurant. I remember the day of the old owners and was so happy that things are still amazing. They took care of my mother's memorial dinner and from day one in planning to the event itself, things went smoothly. Jasmine worked closely with us an accommodated our special requests. The menu to choose from was varied and large. Great appetizers and wonderful buffet. We had pizzas, pasta, dips, salad and pannis as well as the best grilled chicken ever. The staff was really friendly and attentive. Bar ran great as well. There was enough room for everyone to mingle and be seated for buffet dinner. Great experience. read more

ordered a chicken parm dinner and they give you the smallest amount of spaghetti. For $25 you think you would get a decent amount

I have never had a bad meal here. The quality is always great and the service is outstanding. Every member of staff has always been very friendly and welcoming. I have enjoyed many visits here and plan to return for many more. read more

We had lunch delivered to our workplace on Tuesday. The food was delicious, prepared perfectly. We ordered online and almost all of us had special instructions. The bread this place bakes for the sandwiches is so good. Our order was delivered within the time frame given and was hot when it was delivered. The delivery driver(also the owner) was friendly and thanked us a few times for supporting the restaurant. Thank you for the delicious lunches. read more

Food was good and service was great for a small town. The restaurant gives a small town Italian restaurant vibe for sure.

L'italia is a great restaurant!! Can always count on tasty food and fine service. It's an excellent option for all occasions!

Everything we have had the couple of times we have been there has been excellent. Cocktails, staff, and atmosphere was great as well

Really great food, completely awesome service. Super clean, perfect place for a date. Very friendly and helpful staff. Air temperature was just right read more

I was back in Wellsville after many years. i went to this restaurant because one of my university teachers suggested to me. The food is good. The portobello mushroom appetizer was very tasty. For my entree, the pasta was a little overcooked but the "buffalo sauce" and the crumbs of bleu cheeese made me forget about it. Something I liked is that the food was freshed and cooked at the moment. In the area... this is the place to go. A good place to go with friends or to have a date. read more

Always have enjoyed this spot. Stopped by recently for a quick bite & brew. Simon the bartender was very helpful and attentive.

A favorite. Great food and people!! Pizza, pasta, sandwiches and salads - you can't go wrong!

We came here for early dinner/late lunch. The pasta was, well just pasta, nothing fancy. It was very pricey and in these times I don't expect this place to last long - people can't afford it. This wasn't for me. Best of luck! read more

Love this place-- We live in Syracuse and have a cabin just outside of the village. When we come to the area this is our favorite restaurant to go to. Very clean, excellent service and most important great Italian food. Best restaurant in the Town. read more

The presentation of the restaurant was great. It is a nice upscale place in the area. We ordered bruschetta for an appetizer that was seaasoned well but cooked until the bread was the consistency of a crouton. One of my daughters ordered Chicken Scallopini with red potatoes and broccoli. Her chicken was seasoned well but she said it the chicken itself was dry. She didn't care for the red potatoes because she expected them to be roasted a little more crIspy. My wife and my youngest daughter both ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were the size of their fists and had good flavor. My wife didn't life the flavoring of her sauce. I tasted it and hers had a heavy oil taste but my daughters didn't. They looked like they had different sauces on them. My wife's was more of a liquid consistency and my daughters more of a thick sauce. My daughters was good. When I brought it up to the waiter he said he didn't know why. I ordered a ribeye steak, rare, with roasted potatoes. The steak did have good flavor but was a little more done than I like. It was more medium to medium well. I didn't complain or send it back because I never waste steak. I enjoyed our experience here but the food wasn't good enough for me to plan a night out there again. I do recommend this place for the experience but do not get your hopes up to high. read more

Oh my goodness! So delicious! Just moved in to the area and my friend ordered dinner for us from L'italia. The soup, salad, entrees were all very tasty. The only reason I haven't gone back is because they were closed that day. Can't wait to try more items on their menu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Service here is shaky. 2nd time going here and both times the bussers seemed like it was a pain to seat us. Neither felt involved and this is pretty off putting considering both my visits were on valentine's day. My most recent visit however our actual waiter was excellent. Super enthusiastic, well spoken, and extremely friendly. The food is pretty excellent. When it comes to pasta they know what they're doing. However meat here is kind of underwhelming. Sauces are well seasoned and bold. The atmosphere is bright and open. Big windows and high ceilings make this place feel very roomy. Music is kind of random. For whatever reason during half of my meal we were listening to reggae music in an Italian restaurant. This place has good pasta, come for that. Don't expect excellent service but if you want a fancy Italian dish, there isn't much else to go to around here. read more

I should have learned my lesson by now but we gave it another go. All I can say is "Never again". We live not far from this establishment and decided to order for pickup. I ordered the chicken Marsala and my partner ordered Pasta Chicago. The chicken Marsala was accompanied by what tasted like school spaghetti, an old tasting wilted salad and bread so hard it could pass as a crouton. Both dishes lacked flavor and his came in a small Chinese takeout container. I know for a fact if we were to have eaten there, he would have received twice the food. Do yourself a favor and save your $$, this place is simply not worth it. read more

This is a comfortable Italian restaurant located on Main Street in Wellsville. The sauce is the best part of the meal. Every pasta dish, except for the special which is house made, is from the box. You have all the Southern Italian dishes, lasagna, tortellini alfredo, chicken marsala, pizza, etc. Service is good. The bar selection is average. Food is average too -- not bad, not great. read more

I've been to L'Italia a few times before and it was pretty good, but last night's Valentine's Day dinner was pretty disappointing. Like others have said, the ambiance was nice, but clearly, they were overwhelmed by having a mostly full dining room. Our server was friendly, but must have been juggling 20 tables. Drinks didn't take long, but everything else did. Our calamari was okay, but salty. Soups and salads came next. My wife didn't have a fork. After about 10 minutes, we were able to tell the waiter, but it took another 20 minutes before a fork came. He was apologetic. My entree, Filet Oscar, was expensive at $32, and not worth it. The steak was way overcooked (I received medium-well, when I asked for medium-rare) and there was not enough lobster to merit the price tag. My wife got cannelloni and subsequently spent the rest of the night feeling quite Ill. Perhaps food safety wasn't at its best when L'Italia got busy. The quality sure wasn't at its best. Like I said, I've been there a few times before and it was much better - quality food and service, but last night was pretty disappointing in several ways. read more

Very sad to say I had a horrible experience at this restaurant. We had reservations and while I understand large groups are hard, they knew we were coming. After an hour wait for food, everyone in my party was served but me. I was lucky my friends gave me some of their pizza as I waiting on chicken parmesan. After another half hour I told them I no longer wanted my food. Where I was told by management it took that long to cook. Management was not at all nice nor try to anything to make it better and I never even got "I am sorry". They ultimately took it off my beer however did nothing for the other memebers of my party that had to wait for there food and also had a horrible experience with management. Wish I could report a happy ending but can not read more

My Aunt from NJ came to visit, insisting on going to this restaurant. Our order consisted of 2 orders of Manicotti and 1 Mushroom Swiss Burger. I ordered a Coke to drink, my wife and Aunt drank water. My Coke was flat, sending it back and got a fresh one. The Manicotti was nothing but ricotta cheese and a lot of garlic, with a small salad with 3 cherry tomatoes and a few olives. No garlic bread. The cheese burger did not come with anything on it but a little lettuce and a little tomato. We had to ask the waiter for Mayo. The french fries were way over cooked. The waiter was very slow, I can't really believe he's a waiter. The total bill was over $50, $60 with the tip. Will never go back, I don't recommend anyone wanting Italian food to go to this restaurant. read more

This is the WORST experience I ever had in L'italia last night. The waitress is so unfriendly at all time. We ordered a NY strip steak and asked for medium well. It was well done when my mom sliced it into pieces. Also, when the waitress served the dish, she had the steak knife's sharp end point to my mom. Usually before the meals came, they would serve some bread, last night, she didn't give us any and we asked for bread then she got some. But when she was serving other tables, she looks friendly and happy, and she didn't forget their bread. I'm so disappointed of her service. My friend ordered a chicken with baked potatoes. The potatoes were BLACK when she served on table; I called a waiter over and asked him wether this is over cooked he said this is normal. I said I don't think this is normal and he went to call our waitress over to get some new potatoes for us. Usually I'm not the person who always want to complain, but this time L'italia really pissed me off. I've been here for several times. I thought here was quite good so I brought my mom and my friends came. But after this time I think I will never come back again. read more
