39 Best Italian Restaurants near Woodbury

“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 .“

“I don’t think I’ve ever had a buffalo chicken salad as good as this one. Everything tasted fresh, all the products in the salad. They also served it with bread and butter which came out steaming hot and also tasted like homemade bread. Really was spectacular food.“

“Amazing food. Awesome service; owner so accommodating. Love the short rib tagiliatelle. The bar is so much fun and the bartender is on his game.“

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!“

“Hands-down the best Italian food I have ever had—and I do not say that lightly. I would absolutely drive 8 hours just to eat here again. That’s how good it was. I started with the burrata appetizer, served with baby arugula, fire-roasted red peppers, and prosciutto. Fresh, creamy, perfectly balanced. For entrées, I had the linguini with veal meatballs and I also tried the pan-seared scallops over cheese ravioli, with baby spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and wild mushrooms. This dish alone deserves its own standing ovation. This is the kind of place that reminds you what really good Italian food is supposed to taste like. So if you’re anywhere near Southbury or honestly anywhere in Connecticut, go. And if you’re 8 hours away like me? Still go. It’s worth it“

“We really like the food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommended!“

“Food is good. Prices went up significantly recently. Garlic knots are less than have of what they were and have increased in price by 25%. No longer knots now dough balls. Sauce is extra.“

“Thoroughly enjoyed the stuffed shells and meatballs, spinach ravioli and creamy pesto, cheese ravioli in marinara and linguini with clam sauce. The calamari starter was fresh and crispy, the bread was soft and plentiful, and the service was outstanding. A bit of a hidden jewel and well worth a visit.“

“I don’t know what they changed, but suddenly their pizza is out of this world! I have been eating at Miranda’s for 25 years. It has always been good food quality, But I don’t know if they got a new chef or changed the recipe, but the pizza is Travel worthy, meaning is worth driving an hour. The staff is wonderful. The building is old, but they have remodeled it and it kind of adds to the atmosphere.“

“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!!!“

“We visited for the first time this afternoon! staff is very friendly. purchased some fresh linguine & vodka sauce. came home, cooked it up with chicken & it was SO delicious. The best pasta I've ever had! HIGHLY recommend Pasta Heaven! ❤️“

“Great atmosphere and the staff are all hard working. The family that owns it are wonderful people! The brunch was amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone!!“

“Some of the better pizza in the area! Had the Grandma's Special, nice thin crust. yum!“

“I think my husband and I found our new go to restaurant. Food is delicious, tried the pizza last night will definitely order another pizza My husband tried the Philly Cheesesteak said best cheesesteak he has ever eaten.“

“my partner and i had our first experience at Italian Al’s today now that they’re in New Milford again and were extremely impressed! they were so kind and generous in every way, including their portions. as soon as we walked up they offered samples that immediately drew us in.everything tasted very authentic and fresh! the fried ravioli was the best we’ve ever had - so crispy, cheesy, and the sauce was delicious. the meatball sub has 3 big meatballs with their sauce, stretchy mozzarella, and fresh shaved cheeses on top. the fried dough was hot, so chewy, and perfectly sweet. last but definitely not least, the freshly filled cannolis were crunchy and just as good or better than any you’d find in the nyc area.“

“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! 👍🍕🍽😊❤️“

“Always a good meal. Friendly atmosphere and service.“

“We live in Oakville and we have been getting our take out from Paradise for over 15 years. We just love everything there. We are never disappointed. They have saved us on many occasions with their party pizza, which is so reasonably priced. My kids would always have a lot of friends over, we can feed everyone and not break the bank. Dave and his staff are so friendly. We are actually on a first name basis because I am in there so often. The delivery drivers are awesome. If you haven't tried their food, please do.“

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

“Tried their pizza tonight and it is by far the best pizza I have had in a long time. We had the pup in the car for pickup and they even brought it out to us with plates and napkins. The ingredients tasted so fresh and homemade. We will make the trip from Watertown from now on to go here. Great job to all who work here and own this restaurant!“

“If youre looking for a nice italian place with a warm family feel, then look no further than Rose's!

Hosted a community Lunch & Learn here today and the owner (OG), Maria, and Jenn were all fantastic in every step of the way. Attendees raved about the food and loved the old school favorites of Jerry Vale, Dean Martin, and Louis Prima playing softly in the background. Highly recommend!“

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

“Great customer service as well as the sandwiches!!! 10 out of 10 all around“

“Everything tasted great and the crew was friendly and helpful! From the chunks of garlic on the garlic bread to their amazing marinara, we will definitely come again before we head back west! If you haven’t been here you are missing out!“

“Been a client for years, my go to at least once a week, a life saver on those days i arrive late from work and they are the only kitchen open past 9pm in town. Food always amazing, staff is awesome, and the owners are an amazing family that go above and beyond.“

“3rd. Time at Mercato. Food is good. Problem is the music! If you want to eat and relax, forget it! If you are 15 and like loud disco type music, this is your place. They need some relaxing jazz, Opera, Sinatra etc. However picked the music for an Italian Restaurand, knows nothing about a relaxing atmosphere!!!!“

“I been trying to find a good grinder/deli place where I live and I went to the other one on town that everyone says was good and it wasn't but then I seen this nice place and their meats are so good they got all the good stuff my grandfather would have at his house when I was kid. I definitely recommend it I'm going to try a new one a week lol“

“My wife and I have lived in many places and we've never had a sandwich that was so delicious, even on the next day. We've eaten our way from coast to coast and this is my far the greatest hero, grinder, sandwich whatever you want to call it. We will never be getting a grinder anywhere else. The quality, quantity and taste is a 10/10.“

“Great food, updated interior: new floors, walls, paved parking lot! Still some of the best prices in town.“

“We had the Greek salad. They are huge!“

“DELICIOUS PIZZA WE HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED!!“
