50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bloomingdale

“I stopped into Danny's Pizza early in the day, shortly after they opened. I saw a sign outside that said they were voted #1 best pizza which I'm usually skeptical about. After having a slice though, I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza had a thin, crispy base with an incredibly flavorful sauce. The sauce to cheese ratio was spot on and the cheese was perfectly fresh and melted to perfection. Even the crust was bready and delicious. I'm definitely a fan.“

“Yes..Staff, Service and Food always great! Have been dining here since they opened. We enjoy the Jekyll and Hyde calamari and the spiedini appetizers. Anton makes a great rack of pork and filet mignon. We ended with cappuccinos which hit the spot. 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Attended a baby shower. The food was the best I have ever had in a long time. Everything was delicious. I will be back really soon“

“REALLY good food- service great.“

“Dante’s has truly transformed the old Alexis Steakhouse space with a modern, refreshing facelift and a fantastic menu to match. It’s the perfect spot for happy hour, a night out with family or friends, or even a business lunch. One of the standout features is their exclusive upstairs party room, which accommodates 75+ guests—ideal for baby showers, bridal showers, or business meetings. The space includes a flat-screen TV for presentations or party highlights, plus its own private bathroom and bar. Convenience is another plus: Dante’s offers plenty of parking and is located near all major highways (Rt. 46, Rt. 3, Parkway, Turnpike, and Rt. 80). The cozy bar area is great for catching a game, and their intimate lounge space comfortably seats up to 10 people with private wait service—perfect for small gatherings. I’ve enjoyed Dante’s for everything from meeting friends and business lunches to happy hours and private lounge get-togethers. The food never disappoints: the prime burger is massive and made with quality prime rib, the tuna tartare is fresh and loaded with avocado, and their homemade chips are addictive. The clams casino are packed with flavor, the steak sandwich features premium cuts, and the pear salad with grilled chicken is a delicious option if you’re looking for something lighter. Check it out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Muy buena comida y buena atención un sitio agradable“

“The best pizza in NJ“

“Great food, excellent service!“

“From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.

The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.

Safe to say we’ll be regulars!“

“This is one of my Fav. Italian Restaurants. The Food is Delicious. The Hostess’, Servers & Staff are friendly & attentive. Many Friends & Family have been coming here for years. Each visit we enjoy the whole atmosphere!“

“We had dinner at Il Gusto while visiting from out of town for a baby shower. We came here with our toddler after an exhausting drive and we were blown away by their kindness. As a fancier restaurant, we were initially unsure how toddler-friendly they would be. But they were talking and playing with our daughter through the meal and one very sweet employee even went in the back and found a tiny fork for her to use without us asking! And beyond that, everything we ate was fantastic! Highly recommend this restaurant to families!“

Thank you to our server,
Holti (hope I spelled his correctly), you were exemplary! The staff were warmly welcoming, as we entered the restaurant.

“We had my daughters baby shower here yesterday. The food was absolutely amazing! The manager Sam was extremely easy to work with long distance (I live in Pennsylvania). The wait staff were very friendly and attentive . I would highly recommend this place for a private party.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. Service and food are excellent.“

“EVERYTHING was outstanding. That in a nut shell is putting it mildly!! Four of us went to dinner on a rainy, rainy Thursday night. You would think the restaurant would be empty because of the torrential rain,nope. They had a wonderful dinner crowd. We started with the stuffed or artichoke that was outstanding.Our entrees were Barramundi , two of us had lamb chops and the other Nino‘s pasta. Trying all three dinners I couldn’t tell you which I like the best. Yes, I can. It was my pasta that I haven’t had in years from them. Needless to say the service was outstanding we just miss seeing Amy. Don’t worry we’ll be back. SOON… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing food every time. I went last night with friends for dinner and had, what may just be the best pasta dish, I ever had... but you'll have to see for yourself. And the Eccola Martini is another fave. Cheers!“

“Service was impeccable. Sat at the bar and ate there. As you can see from the pictures everything was spectacular. Generous portions too! Had enough for lunch the next day lol. Be sure to try their pizza as an app. Their bartenders are the best!“

“We had the Junior and Uncle Paulie. Both were delicious!! Love the yankee fans and now Mozzarella God fans 🙂“

“Adam took great care of us here. First time at this establishment. Delicious appetizers, pastas, pizza and gelato! Limited parking and smaller sized restaurant but delicious food and kind staff! Would recommend making a reservation if you can.“

“Such a great place, from the food to the staff there is no where else I go to enjoy quality time with friends and family. love it here and thank you Ilpanino for always going above and beyond.“

“Came here for the first time and enjoyed the double veal chop special - cooked perfectly in a demi glace sauce . Service was great - quickly took our order and served in a reasonable amount of time. It was BYOB so we were able to pair our meal with our favorite red wine“

“Tried familia pizzeria for the first time. Did not disappoint! Food was absolutely fantastic and the service was excellent! Highly recommend this spot!“

“Wow! Took us years to get here… but so glad we did! I’m an Italian originally from Queens who doesn’t much care to eat an Italian restaurant when I can get it home cooked. My better half, however, is a boy from Brooklyn, who is Italian by osmosis & loves to eat it out of the home. For his birthday we wanted to go somewhere special. We did! LuNello ranks up there as one of our favorite Italian Restaurants EVER… From the valet staff, to the maitre D, hostesses & waitstaff, to the ambiance… and the FOOD. There are basic dishes on the menu but so many interesting & varied plates that I was blown away! Everything we ate, from appys, to main courses, and dessert (famous bread pudding) were the best!“

“Great food wonderful atmosphere , and for us lots of great memories. We have been going to Berta’s with our family since we were kids.🤙🤙“

“All the different meals I’ve had at Columbia Inn have been amazing! I’m never disappointed. Their pizza is amazing too!!!“

“It's pricier than an average restaurant, but if you're looking for a more upscale experience this place is a great choice. And that's coming from someone who doesn't prefer upscale places. The meatball appetizer is amazing, as is the cheese pastry appetizer. There are a lot of pasta dishes that you won't find in a normal restaurant. I can say this pretty confidently because I didn't recognize half of the items on the menu =D

The pasta is all homemade and the sauces were delicious.

The atmosphere is perfect for small groups. My wife and I went with two other couples and it was very easy to visit and hear each other. The music playing on the speakers wasn't loud enough to interfere with any conversation, and it was just loud enough to provide some nice background music.

Would definitely recommend checking out this restaurant if you're looking for a slightly upscale place.“

“We had a wonderful Dinner at Novelli Restaurant in Wayne NJ yesterday celebrating my amazing Wife Karen's birthday. Food,service and ambiance was outstanding !“

“Our meal was DELICIOUS! Scallop appetizer followed by entrees of halibut, bronzino and orata. Wonderful service made for a beautiful evening“

“Amazing dinner experience with my daughter!!!“

“I love the spinach pockets they make.“

“This place is TOP SHELF. Went twice this past week and honestly feel there is NO place in the area that comes remotely close to this restaurant! I moved from Bergen County and until now, could not find that rare combination of quality food, CLEAN and attentive , personable staff. The seafood is AMAZING. I’ve heard some comments in reference to the owner….guess what…he’s doing a whole lot of right, maybe you just don’t know the difference.“

“Delicious pizza and entrees! Great dining room service I highly recommend I live in NY“

“I have LOVED Tony’s Pizza my entire life! Their pizza has remained consistent and unforgettably delicious! I grew up in Pompton Lakes and I have moved all over the country and have dated more pizza than I care to share 🤣 I swear to you there is no better sausage pie in the world better than Tony’s. I work and own a business in the food industry and I swear by this pizza and mussels. Whenever I am back in Jersey or when my peeps come to visit, they know I will be ordering several pies to freeze for when we are nostalgic and want a a GREAT PIE! I cannot recommend this Mom & Pop restaurant more. Thank you all for my latest haul! You are the BEST!!!!! 🌟 😉🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“E&V has the BEST Italian food ever., why go anywhere else. E&V has been around for over 50years. Thank you for great food always. Eric“
