Italia Gardens

The building and decor is beautiful. There was a long wait for my bf and my food despite there being few other patrons. The food wasn't anything special. Staff were pretty nice.

I love this place! Been eating there for years, even when they were at the Downtown Flint Court St location. I often go to the Miller Rd restaurant and they never disappoint. Servers will box up your food for you, I like that. 35 cent pasta night is a great value. I like that they have very good value for money specials with a different one each day of the week.
They are fantastic at catering events. I have used them 2 or 3 times over the years. They show up sharply dressed in a very classy vehicle. Very professional. Highly recommend.

The vegetarian panini was fantastic. Possibly the best sandwich I've ever had. I live 50 miles away but I WILL be back! Great service too!

We ate here with a large group. We were seated very comfortably and the service was just right. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the portions were large enough that almost everyone had some to take home. We would eat here again!

Italia Gardens consistently ranks as one of the best restaurants in Flint on several different listing websites and it's no mistake.

My wife loves Italian dining, I generally don't care for it. Initially Italia gardens was a good compromise for her to get her Italian fix because it was passed on to us through friends that the ribs at Italia Gardens were surprisingly good. Our friends did not lead us astray. If you don't like Italian food just order the ribs and you're all set. The ribs are every bit as good as you would expect to find at a BBQ establishment and you'll have the benefit of a quiet and old style environment.

But here's the twist. I tried my wife's pasta one time and it's delicious. I've been back to chain Italian places since and I still don't care for them. I find most Italian food a little bland and too heavy for the lack of flavor. I don't have that problem at Italia Gardens. Ever since I tried her pasta I don't do the ribs anymore. My order is just a big plate of lasagna. The sauce is a sweet style sauce and the layers of cheese compliment it so well that I never lack flavor here. It's still heavy (You're eating a big pile of carbs man), but the flavor justifies the indulgence. Meals come with a salad (and I do enjoy a good salad) and a big roll of bread that seems as best I can tell to be made in house. The garlic butter served with the bread is to die for.

Even if you don't care for Italian food, give this place a try.
