Was thinking about Italian food and cannot think of a single place in North Alabama that I would say, "Yep, THAT place is where I'd go."
This is not for pizza and damned sure isn't the dogchit served at Olive Garden or chains. I'm talking about veal parm, lasagna, cavatelli, ravioli and Italian food.
DePalma's if I'm in Tuscaloosa, of course.
What about B'ham, anywhere in North Alabama, Montgomery or elsewhere?

http://www.joesitalianonline.com/ best spaghetti I ever had. It is in Alabaster. Costa's in Trussville and Hoover has awsome bread and good food. Franchesca's in Decatur is better than OG but not great.

I like Gianmarcos, Guiseppe's Cafe, and Mirkos. Where are these?

Another vote for gianmarcos. In Homewood. Get reservations and bring your high limit credit card.
I had a veal loin there years ago I still think about on occasion.

We have a pretty good one in Clanton called, Bertelone's. It is owned by the same folks who started, Joe's Italian. They are going to open another location in Calera.

I agree they have some great food, I really don't like Joe's that much but Bertelone's is on point, the desserts they make are even better than the Italian dishes, the death by chocolate is freaking out of this world, the slices are big enough for three people to share... Salvators Pizza in Hoover is great, they have way more than just pizza and it is all good..

There's a little place in Covington County called Ophelia's and she has good, authentic Italian food.

Another vote for Gian Marco's. Hands down best Italian food in the state. Everything is house made from the mozzarella to the pasta. Get the fiocchi stuffed with pears and gorgonzola as an appetizer. They also have a pretty nice steak.

Franchesca's in Decatur is better than OG but not great. My wife brought some spaghetti home from Joe' s once; right up there with Chef Boyardee, but not quiet as good. Heard they had a change of management, maybe?

Joe's Italian sucks. I've heard so many people say it was great. They must have been eating Olive Garden if they think that stuff is good.
Gianmarco's is very good. We really like Bongiornos in Mountain Brook. Small, family owned and operated. Great food.
Bellini's is suppose to be good, never eaten there myself.
We really miss Lovoy's. Had no idea Lovoy's closed. Used to be really good.

We really miss Lovoy's. Had no idea Lovoy's closed. Used to be really good. When they moved to Downtown Homewood, their overhead got to high and Zach decided to close it. If he had never moved, they would probably still be open. I think they lost some customers when they moved too. Regulars that didn’t like the new location.
