20 Best Italian Restaurants near Stonington

“My husband and I stopped here for the first time today and we were very satisfied with the food and service. while we waited for our meatball grinders we were offered a sample of their pea soup and it was the best we've ever had! that's saying something because I've always thought my mom's was the best. we ate our grinders until we were about to burst and they wrapped our leftovers for us. the best part about that is when we went back to eat them, our grinders were labeled "his :)" and "hers :)". we will definitely be eating here again!“

“Was very pleased with the service. Waitress was attentive but not overbearing. The food was exceptionally well prepared. For 2 apps, 2 entrees, desserts and coffee the price was reasonable.“

“So very disappointed. Was there with a disabled person and treated terribly by customers and wait staff. Food was not good and service was terrible. Have been there previously and had a much better experience. I am not sure what changed but definitely will not go back or recommend this place if the same rude waitress is there. So very disappointed.“

“This was our first time at Amalfi and it won't be our last! The food was amazing!! The staff was wonderful and the decor was perfect! You won't be disappointed. We can't wait to go back.“

“Outstanding food, service, atmosphere. Pricing was well worth the huge portions. First time visit. Would definitely return. Five stars.“

“Visiting the area for one day/night and selected Hoof’s for dinner off of Google Maps, restaurants near. We were not disappointed! We sat at the bar for dinner and we each had a glass of wine. The bar tender was a very friendly charismatic guy who took great care of us! He started us with great tasting crusty bread with flavored butter and amazing olive oil. We got an order of oysters rockerfeller which were yummy, then split a cesaer salad which was so crunchy and fresh. Our main dishes were very, very tasty. When we arrived around 5:30 on a Friday there were a few diners, but when we left they were nearly full. I can see why! DELICIOUS!!!“

“What an excellent experience we had last night! The restaurant is decorated beautifully for the holiday season. We sat at the bar & had impeccable service. The food was outstanding. The homemade bread and flavored butter -- just yum!! Calamari was cooked to perfection and the seafood pasta dish was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to return!!“

“A dinner at Longo reminds me of visiting my Nani for her old school Italian homemade cooking. The one issue is I stare at the menu for too long because I can't decide what to order! Everything is fresh and delicious. Salute!“

“Ask for their homemade limoncello!! The pesto with the burrata is amazing too! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Excellent service and dinner tonight, from Claire D. Thank you. Wonderful server. We’ll be back often.“

“Delicious salad and drink!“

“So glad we found this hidden gem ! Staff was super friendly, and quick. Red onion burger was probably thee best burger I've ever had ! French fries were super crispy and delish!! Hubby got a chicken parm grinder and cheesy fries. So much food we took a doggie bag to go. Pies and cakes looked super yummy. Friend got a small pizza and it was just loaded with so much meat !! Great food, excellent prices. If we are ever back in the area we will certainly visit again !!“

“Great food, good service, reasonable prices. Finally visited an old friend, Tracy, and can't wait to return. Always a gentleman.“

“Our waiter Andrew was the best!!! His service, advice on food and drinks was spot on!! The portions were great and the food was amazing!! Can’t wait to go back up there again!“

“We stopped in here once in May 2025 to meet up with friends that live nearby seasonally and told us we had to try one of Lorraine’s Cosmos because nobody due them better. . I’m not typically a martini drinker but I was told to give it a try and it was amazing as was the whole local vibe in the place. Our next trip to the area a month later we came back and I tried her Creamsicle Martini— just as delicious as the Cosmo— along with a quick ham & cheese grinder that was perfectly toasted with shredded lettuce (how I had them growing up)! Fast forward three months to our next visit and a Pumpkin Martini with a DC Supreme Pizza and the fun local bar atmosphere and it was yet another win!! Do yourself a favor and check them out the next time you’re in the area. Close enough to the beach.“

“So friendly and family oriented. Great music plus games“

“Excellent pizza, one of the best in town!“

“Awesome food, extremely friendly service and staff, comfortable seats and atmosphere, great prices, and delicious desserts. Five stars easy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Catering plans for my daughter's birthday party fell apart the DAY BEFORE the party. Tony and the Pizza Lady bailed us out and provided great food (at a great price) with less than 24 hours to deliver. Amazing. I am impressed, grateful, and fully endorsing Pizza Lady as your next caterer (or movie-night Pizza Party).“

“My husband ordered a meatball calzone. It was definitely enough for two people. He said it was really good, took half of it home with extra sauce as well. I had the Valentino's salad. It was loaded with chicken, candied walnuts, raisins. I added feta cheese to mine. The balsamic dressing is awesome!“
