8 Best Italian Restaurants near Sunderland

“I love the food here I've been eating it for years It has been amazing the whole time I've been going here. The service is always great the only thing I miss about the ambiance is the video games they used to have in there. Best steak and cheese in the pioneer valley.“

“Happened to be traveling through, and we decided to try Alina’s. Truly enjoyed the SHRIMP FRA DIAVOLO (nice and spicy), MAMA’S MEATBALLS (light and tasty),, ALINA’S LINGUINE (packed with seafood), a beautifully plated CAESAR SALAD that I had to split with wife and a side of creamy risotto Milanese.The ambiance is very homey and traditional. They have a piano bar on Tuesdays, I believe. Victor the waiter was awesome. He treated us as if we were his only table. Wished us well on our journey. Loved speaking with Remi, the Chef, as he confirmed that Angel Hair pasta is too delicate for shrimp, better for cheese, tomato and basil. Been having this argument with my wifey for years. Of course, all restaurants will serve you whatever pasta you wish. Great restaurant and good times.“

“Gianni FIg's has a light and friendly atmosphere; a just-right blend of having a private table and also being a part of the scene. The bar is lovely.We had reservations for New Year's Eve and the place was bustling; we only waited a minute or two for our table.The food is very fresh and perfectly cooked. I had scallops with my pasta dish and they were the best that I've had at a restaurant in a very long time (that includes a pricey place at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf). My companion said that her Seafood Chowder was excellent (as was the Riesling).Before the entre I ordered a Burrata with Fig Jam (I love figs). I shared it with my companion and we both found it to be delicious (I mean, Burrata, Figs... Prosciutto!).Desert (Chocolate tower, and raspberry/lemon tart) were great but the entrees are the main attraction.Gianni Fig's is a wonderful restaurant that is affordable and feels worth the price. Our server was especially fun, in a chill way.Definitely go for great Italian dishes and a friendly and upbeat atmosphere!“

“Driving back down to NY from Keene, NH, this is right off 91 near the Cumberland gas station. We tried it cuz we wanted some hot food. Had our doubts when they don’t sell by the slices, but ordering a small Holiday Specialty pizza was a good call, it definitely hit the spot!! Crust is just the right thickness and crunchy on the rim; cheese isn’t crazy heavy but just the right balance with the rest of their toppings. Saving this pizza place as a go-to on our future ski trips.“

“Wow, what a fantastic spot for a quick slice! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by the owner, who promptly confirmed they offered cheese and pepperoni slices. Though I initially tried to pay with a card, they kindly informed me they only accept cash, directing me to the nearby ATM. Within minutes, my order of four slices, totaling around eight dollars, was served – one neatly packed to go, and the other plated for immediate enjoyment. To top it off, the owner generously included a complimentary can of soda. As I savored my slice, I couldn't help but appreciate the friendly atmosphere, even catching snippets of lively conversation from fellow patrons. A solid 10/10 experience all around!“

“I moved to the area just today and what a perfect place to have my first dinner! From Ben's warm welcome as I stumbled up the stairs to Sid's excellent service. I was lucky enough to get probably the best table,one at a window. The dinner was excellent, loved the fresh bread with olive oil, the herbivore dinner, and dessert with coffee. The atmosphere was eloquent yet casual, warm and comfortable. I plan on many visits to come!“

“The appetizers were excellent, the warm olive and hummus plate was delicious and the little stacked chickpea logs very tasty. The entrees were somewhat disappointing, the delicacy of the crab cake was overtaken by the acidic slaw and the basil oil. The layered dish of tofu , hummus and eggplant was marred by chewy, dry slices of the egg plant.Service was ok but not remarkable.Very good espresso. Drinks at the bar were great.“

“You guys ALWAYS get my order notes RIGHT on UberEats, THANK YOU SO MUCH! your pizza crust is amazing, the turkey wrap was incredibly fresh, the salad pizza OMG but... there's just one thing. I know an Italian cannot be making your Italian subs. It was the most bizarre italian sub I've ever had lol, the bread was good though.“
