24 Best Italian Restaurants near Southampton

“I’ve been recuperating from a hospital stay and family was visiting from out of town. We ordered our Sunday dinner from Paisano’s - chicken piccata, fettuccine with chicken, tortellini dish, etc. Everything we ordered was done to perfection. Delivery was friendly and my only regret is that I under-tipped, but I took care of that the next day. Sorry Marvin!“

“We were in town for a convention. We were a group of 16. I worked with Chris to set up a menu for our group. He was amazing! He made all the right suggestions and the food was delicious. We had a 9 year old in the group and Chris made sure that he had exactly what he wanted. The evening was terrific. Service and food was superb. We would definitely go back if we are in town again. A big thank you to Chris and the entire staff!“

“Great atmosphere, great food, and great service! Emmanuel was an absolute treat! Tuesday “Date Night” special is a screaming good deal too. Appetizer, 2 salads, 2 entrees, dessert, AND a bottle of wine, $85 total! I was prepared for $85 each! Oh and there was a gentleman playing piano and fugal horn!!! 5 stars“

“I hosted a dinner party after my daughter's graduation on May 2nd. I had met with the owner, Lyndsay, in advance and saw the private upstairs area. There were 14 of us and that private space is lovely. The food was exceptional! The salads, entrees, appetizers and desserts were so good and everyone was very impressed. The cocktails were delicious. None of us had eaten there before and I wanted someplace new and different. Everything about the evening was perfect and Lyndsay went out of her make to make sure I was satisfied with the entire event. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend Osteria. I highly recommend“

From the sauce to the food it's self. This staff goes above and beyond to make sure your treated like family and I know that's what I am looking for. Emma keep up the great work......“

“Amazing food & atmosphere. 100000/10🥰“

“This place is awesome. Their food is consistently very good, prices are reasonable, and the staff is always very quick and friendly. Their gourmet grinders are my go to and are usually good to feed two people. 10/10! Thank you for all you do!“

“Really enjoyed my visit here. The food and atmosphere were excellent! Only downside was the service. I know in this day and age we should be thankful for our wait staff because it's hard to find good help. My waiter was pleasant and kind but she failed to ask how the food was after it was delivered. She did not offer to refill my drinks, I had to ask after my meal was already completed. It was relatively slow for I dined around 4:30. Other than that the restaurant is beautiful and the food was amazing.“

“just had a couple meatball grinders for dinner...... meatballs are delicious, their sauce is also delicious, but what puts it over the top is their house made grinder rolls !! Delicious !!!“

“Me, the Mrs. and our youngest son dined in after Mass one Thursday evening. Our server was very attentive, and she took very good care of us.
The food was very tasty and delicious. We enjoyed the nostalgic and comfortable atmosphere. A good time was had by all.“

“the food was amazing! i won the family dinner raffle and order chicken parm. my family loved it! we will definitely be back again!“

“I recommend them because I’m not giving up on them just yet. With that said since the reopening after the pandemic the pizza has been over cooked to the point it is burnt to a crisp, and I mean to a crisp! The old chef has obviously moved on. The last two pizzas I picked up where barely eatable. The left overs were tossed. I used to be a Saturday night regular. The pizza was the best in town for YEARS. Now it seems it’s the worst. I’ll give them one more shot. Three strikes and your out! Replace the pizza chef or at the very least get them cooking lessons.“

“If there were a sixth star, I would give it to Serj, and then I would personally petition the United Nations to create a seventh star just so I could give him that one too. That’s how good this man is at his job.

My journey began as I walked through the hallowed doors of Olive Garden, where the aroma of endless breadsticks and the faint whisper of Alfredo sauce linger in the air like a divine hymn. The hostess led me to my table, but little did I know that fate itself had seated me in Serj’s section.

From the moment he approached, it was clear I wasn’t dealing with an ordinary waiter. No. Serj appeared at my table as though descending from the heavens—apron neatly tied, pen at the ready, posture strong, eyes twinkling with the kind of confidence that says, “I can carry six soup bowls in one hand and refill your water before you even realize you’re thirsty.”

He introduced himself with the grace of a Broadway performer and the sincerity of a man who truly understands the weight of unlimited salad. “Hi, I’m Serj, I’ll be taking care of you today.” Taking care of me? Friend, Serj didn’t just take care of me. He shepherded me through a culinary odyssey.

When I asked for extra breadsticks, he didn’t just bring them—he presented them, like a knight returning from battle with treasure for his king. When I inquired about the difference between the Tour of Italy and the Chicken Alfredo, Serj’s explanation was so detailed, I felt like I had just attended a TED Talk on pasta-based decision-making. He gestured with such passion toward the menu, I half expected him to pull out a laser pointer and pie charts.

At one point, I dropped my fork. Before it even hit the floor, Serj materialized with a replacement, as though he had foreseen this in a prophetic vision earlier that morning. Truly, this man must have Spidey-sense, but instead of crime, his powers are tuned to the vibrations of clattering cutlery.

Midway through the meal, he checked in—not too much, not too little. Like Goldilocks’ ideal bowl of porridge, his timing was just right. I imagine Serj keeps an internal clock, finely calibrated to the digestive rhythms of mankind.

But the true climax of this saga came with dessert. I was full. Stuffed, even. Yet Serj, with the persuasive power of a seasoned diplomat, described the Warm Italian Doughnut's with such poetic elegance that I found myself ordering one. Reader, I devoured it, tears of joy streaming down my face, while Serj nodded knowingly in the background, like a mentor watching his pupil achieve greatness.

In conclusion, Serj is not a waiter. He is an experience. A legend. A national treasure. If Olive Garden ever creates a Hall of Fame, Serj’s apron should be the first item enshrined within.

Go to Olive Garden. Ask for Serj. And prepare yourself.“

“I went to this cafe today and the inside of the place was so clean 🧼 smelled like holiday spice. The customer service was great the owner miss Luisa was so fun and sweet. I got an apple danish and a cinnamon cappuccino ☕️. If you need a place that’s cozy to get some work done on a laptop 💻 or just a quick getaway to feel appreciated please go to cafe palazzo 😊“

“Spoleto‘s Continues to provide outstanding cuisine. We have been customers since Spoleto was located on the south end of Main Street up to it’s latest iteration next to the railroad station. The food is great, the parking is free, the wait staff are excellent and all is good. Since all good food requires time in preparation when it doesn’t come out of a frozen locker; the wait time can be longer than McDonald’s, however, nothing better than sitting and sipping while waiting. A great New England experience.“

“Found this place while doing Doordash with my Wife. Im a Chef and I was really impressed by how clean the restaurant was and the nice soft background music really makes a beautiful and peacefully atmosphere. And the Owner was really polite and caring about the customer!

I got intrigued and it visited the place again one night after work and it was like 2am and the place was open ! I had the stromboli was the BEST Stromboli I ever had! I really recommend this place out.“

“I highly recommend Joe's Cafe in Northampton for several reasons. First and foremost, they serve the best pizza in town—it's simply unbeatable! The atmosphere at Joe's is welcoming and cozy, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal. What truly stands out, though, is the staff; they are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making you feel right at home. If you're looking for an enjoyable dining experience, Joe's Cafe is the place to be!“

“We ordered chicken noodle soup, broccoli special pizza, and baklava for dessert… food was delicious. The restaurant/restrooms clean and orderly. Limited truck trailer/RV/camper parking available behind building. It’s worth making a pit stop off the turnpike.“

“They have the best pizza around. I absolutely love the new owners. My sister, mom and I go there weekly for pizza, and I ordered delivery tonight. Everyone from the waitresses, the owners and the delivery drivers are awesome. They're so nice. They're attentive and the food is fabulous. I cannot recommend them more.“

“Incredible food and drink menu. Everything 10/10“

“Sometimes changing neighborhoods it takes a while to find *your* place. This one is it for me!😊 The pizza is HUGE and delicious! Portion for price is excellent 👌 the Chicken Caesar pizza comes with a large salad to mix and dump on the pie or eat separately. Excited for these leftovers lol“

“So i been living in the 413 all my life and in the westside/agawam area the last 4 years and while i heard of eb's i never took the time to stop in...lately felt i been missing out so i stopped in one day and ordered the red hot ranch wings and i was in heaven....ordered again the next week and got 5 red hot ranch wings again and the gold wings and, yeah, yiu just gotta be there....as much as i love my wings from christophers and wings over, it didn't take me long to realize why eb's is at the top for what they do Their portions and wide range of flavors are just different and they do literally everything in house, also very nice people.....will go again most definitely and all i gotta say is that whatever you get will be made with love and its just different“

“They have the best fried onion rings and french fries!!! The rest of the food is marvelous!! I'm not a big fan of the pizza, but that is the only thing that isnt the best in town. I find the delivery people to be very nice and personable.“

“I'm a first time customer and a permanent customer. Pizza is great, Real free delivery, No service charges crap!, pizza and toppings are LESS expensive! great job Asssio's Pizza! Don't change anything!“
