50 Best Italian Restaurants near Seymour

“Tried Pizzaro’s Pizzeria for the first time. My wife and I shared a large antipasta salad and a large cheese pizza with garlic, half pepperoni and half broccoli. Everything was great. While this is more a takeout place they have large booths and the service was excellent. The salad was awesome and so large we took 1/4 of it home. The pizza was excellent. Thin crust with a delicious sauce. I’m not a fan of the outer crust but this was so good I ate everything. I highly recommend their pizza. We have to go back and try their subs and meals as I witnessed many people getting these and pizza for takeout. I give it five stars. We will be back.“

“Omg the best food. My favorite is the cherry teriyaki wings. Everything I have ordered was fantastic.“

“we just popped in tonight for a quick bite. we were feeling hopeful that they would make a good pie. we wound up blown away! we ordered two pizzas... a large half cheese / half meatball and then a small with peppers and sausage. the pizza was absolutely delicious and all four of us agreed this was some of the best pizza we'd ever had! superb flavor and great and friendly service by the owner himself! cannot wait to be back!“

“I went there for late dinner on Halloween. Food was better than I remembered. Person I was with found his new spot for calzones! Yum! 😋“

“My fiancé and I have been coming here for the past 7 years. Never had a bad meal and the price is great for the amount you get. The people commenting badly about this place are definitely overreacting and probably live in Greenwich. Sounds like snobby bitter women.“

“Love this restaurant. Favorite place in town I make homemade cheese and can't even come close to their house made ricotta. So rich and creamy. Love the pizzas. Definitely recommend!“

“Every time we choose Antonio’s for date night, it’s a win! The staff and the owner are always warm and welcoming and the service is always just right. And then there’s the food! They have one of the best chicken cutlets I’ve ever tasted and their Alfredo sauce is out of this world!“

“Great restaurant. We just celebrated my wife's birthday in their private area. We had 21 guests and the food and service was excellent. The staff was very attentive and everything was served timely, hot and delicious.“

“This review is long overdue, I’ve been going to Mattei’s for a long time now. Their food is outstanding. If you like eggplant this place has the best eggplant I’ve ever had. Not to mention unlike a lot of other places, Mattei’s loads up their sandwiches and gives you PLENTY! The employees are also very polite and happy to help. All of their food is delicious, I highly recommend coming here and trying it.“

“We dined in last night (10/12/23) we had a party of 5. Our server was top notch, our meals were extremely delicious and outstanding in their presentations. The photos do not do any justice. I had Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Pinot Grigio White and my wife and I shared the Carrot Cake.“

“My fiancé and I absolutely love Casanova! As someone who is a bit of a picky eater at times, I can confidently say that the food here is delicious and well balanced.

The ambience is great - classy, elegant, and not overwhelmingly packed on most nights, meaning that you can enjoy conversation with your meal and take a break from New Haven’s bustling energy.

And, to top it off, all the staff here are lovely and attentive! 10/10 recommend stopping by!“

“We stopped in for some stuffed breads and tried some italian pastry.They where all excellant and be back for sure.“

“4 of us had dinner last night, food was excellent! The eggplant rollatini was stuffed with ricotta, tender eggplant and delicious sauce. My husband had sausage & mushroom pizza. Nice crust, just enough toppings and again, that sauce! Fried calamari was tender & crispy. 6 nice size shrimp in the cocktail. If I had anything to complain about it would be the cocktail sauce was a bit wimpy for my taste. More horseradish, guys! Lol Service was super, empty glasses and plates were removed after we finished. Cozy atmosphere, nice music at a good volume. I highly recommend the place! <3“

“Great food and excellent service! I’ve eaten at Mirabelle’s many times and the food has always been great! Highly recommend this restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Best restaurant ever. Every visit was great! Food Great! Service great! Atmosphere great ! This is our go-to restaurant. Highly recommend !“

“This Italian restaurant is truly exceptional and consistently goes above and beyond every single time. Whether we’re dining in for a casual dinner or hosting a larger event with their catering, the experience is always outstanding.

The food is absolutely incredible — authentic, flavorful, and made with such care. Every dish tastes homemade and fresh, from the sauces to the desserts. Whenever we’ve had parties catered, our guests always rave about the food and ask where it’s from. It’s become our go-to recommendation without hesitation.

Beyond the amazing food, the service and attention to detail really set them apart. They genuinely care about their customers and it shows. We’re so lucky to have a place like this — highly, highly recommend! 🍝🇮🇹“

“Been looking for a good pizza since we moved here. definitely going to be our place for italian.“

“fried mozzarella r banging, get garlic bread with it to start off, after that whatever u feel like having, it the oldest spot around with one of best food in west haven“

“Wasn't sure about this place when we pulled in to the parking lot but so glad we gave it a try . I ordered the Zuppa di pesce ( one of my favorite hard to find meals ) absolutely everything I was hoping it would be and more . Very extensive menu if you can't find something here to tickle your taste buds maybe your not human . The service was awesome. The restaurant itself ain't very fancy but a steady flow of traffic of people picking up and calling in for orders . They are definitely doing something right . Me and the wife was in from out of town for a funeral. And we was very satisfied with our meals and service . So if your in the area this place is definitely worth the stop .“

“Came here on a quiet weeknight and was amazed by the authentic Italian cuisine. Started off with a wonderful Burrata then I had the Rigatoni Bolgenese with was really good. We also bought a loaf of the Italian Bread to bring home. That bread with some Cabot butter and you are on to something!! Would visit again.“

The food & the Venue are truly special just like Kendal along with the rest of the crew! It's always a pleasure going their for a nice evening or working there... The Place is a hidden gem!“

“I’ve been a fan and customer of Villarina’s Southbury for many years for far too many reasons to list ... but the most important one is the owners who are family and treat everyone like family!❤️ This is a quick review to say YUMMMM!!! Before the “stay at home” order went into effect, I stocked up on their frozen dinners and lots of pasta sauce. Always love having these in our house and especially so now. We recently tried the frozen linguine w/white clam sauce I had picked up. It was our first time for this dinner and WOW! It was fabulous. My husband says it’s the best he’s ever had. It’s not something I typically eat but loved it. We’ll add it to our list of things to pick-up. Thanks as always!!!“

“What a surprise!!! Tucked away behind a small shopping center, you wouldn't know about it unless someone told you about it!!! Great food, great staff, and a wonderful dinner!!!! 5+ Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“It was our distinct pleasure to celebrate my birthday at Olive Garden with my cherished family. Our server, Jabari, provided exceptional service, demonstrating a remarkable blend of professionalism and affability. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to be served by Jabari again on our next visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and extend our gratitude for your outstanding service. Jabari rocks!!!!“

“This is the best (if not only) place in the New Haven, CT area to get authentic Levantine food, including / especially toum. Eating here brings me back to past vacations in Lebanon and the incredible food and company I enjoyed there; for those that prefer other cuisines, this place has you covered as well! Pizza, pasta, the full gamut of Mediterranean food!“

“Our server Devine was amazing and so well poised. The appetizers of meatballs and their charcuterie was presented beautifully. The only issue was with dinner. We got the squid ink pasta and the filet. You could 110% taste the food was high quality and fresh but it missed the mark for us on taste. It lacked so much flavor. If you’re looking for a good simple meal with 5 star service, this is the place but if you’re looking for dishes that the chef cares about flavor and excitement, this restaurant lacks in that. It was a good experience over all but we were just disappointed because there’s so much potential for it to be a restaurant where you go back specifically for that one dish because it tasted so good.“

“Good food and service, Claudia is the best!“

“went to go see drag queen show very good,had marissa and haley has my servers,recommend,to sit in there area very friendly and bubbly,hard working young ladies“

“Delicious food !! Friendly staff and great service! We love Southford Pizza!! I’m a Gluten Free girl and they got me covered as well!! Good Stuff! 👍🍕🍽😊❤️“

“I had lost power for 28 hours last week. I called Carlito’s on Friday evening 6/28 after I got my electricity back ?. I had salad, warm
rolls, fried zucchini with marinara sauce, my entree was 2 sautéed soft shell crabs & pasta.
The service was amazing! Food delicious!
I decided I had room for dessert. I sat in the lounge and had a scrumptious chocolate lava cake!!!
I don’t want all of my food delivered at once. At Carlito’s I didn’t feel rushed. Warm rolls and ice water. Appetizer. Salad. Entree. All served after you have finished the previous course. I enjoyed a very relaxed evening!
Thank you Carlito’s.
Servers, please keep smiling! ?

Parking: As Carlitos is a small restaurant and has takeout; they have clearly marked area for takeout and dining parking.
A well lit parking lot. I was catching up on my messages in the parking lot and the owner stopped & asked me if I was okay!!! ?

Kid-friendliness: Outdoor or indoor dining!! Definitely a family friendly place!“

“Always our go to when we want a delicious meal and generous portions. The best Lobster Bisque hands down and we’ve tried many. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. Chef Gould is on point with his presentation and his meals are the best in the area.“

“My husband and I stopped in to have our last meal in Connecticut before heading back to Arkansas.. Special shout out to Judy for Her positive attitude and hospitality🤍🙏🏼 she and the other team members made our night, the Holidays were so rough for us this year with my Grandmother passing away this Christmas Eve.. it was nice to be greeted with a friendly smile and warm conversation in a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎆“

“DJ’s Pizza never disappoints! It is always a fabulous experience, whether deliver or pick up. Their pizzas, entrees and catering are delicious and I highly recommend you giving them a call. Thank you to the DJ’s Pizza Team!!“

“We had the most wonderful experience at Caloroso Eatery & Bar. Unbeknownst to me, my family planned a surprise birthday party and had it at Caloroso’s in early December. Because the weather was still good, the party took place in the Sky Terrace…the space was very inviting and large enough to accommodate the 33 of us! Ashley and others of the Caloroso team made sure that no one went thirsty or hungry! The buffet of chicken parm, chicken marsala, pasta, salad, and more was totally delicious and plentiful! The large screen in the room made it possible for all to see the birthday trivia game through which I relived lots of happy memories and milestones! I had no idea what was waiting for me when I walked up the stairs and went through the doors into the Sky Terrace…and I’ll never forget the SURPRISE experience! Thank you, family, and thank you Caloroso team for helping to make the day a cherished lifelong memory!!“

“I have zero complaints about this establishment. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.“

“You can’t beat them, local, great food and fast.“

“A favorite place of ours! Foods always hot when it comes to you, delicious thin crust pizza, never greasy, their tomato sauce is excellent, great quality tasting cheese, I love their Zuppa di pesce , decent wait time, great atmosphere, never had a bad meal… never!“
