50 Best Italian Restaurants near Dover

“Had dinner on 6/2/22. We had a party of 9 all together. Sat in the back room. Both the food and the server were fantastic. Sorry I didn't get her name. Come here maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Never disappointed!!“

“Table 42 is a traditional Italian staple and a true gem in Dover. While we will always miss Chuck, we hope the new owner preserves the incredible ambiance and vibe that keeps the regulars coming back! There's simply no other place like it. A huge part of why we return is Mauricio the Chef, who makes the best pasta fagioli, and the wonderful servers like Joannie. We go for that unique feeling as much as for the fantastic food. Table 42 reminded me of Cheers, I truly hope it doesn’t lose its uniqueness.“

“We love this place! I've never once gotten something from here that I didn't like. Simply the best in the area!“

“This is our favorite place… This is the side of meatballs and Ziti Norcina with homemade sausage. I have tried many different pasta dishes and love them all. It’s hard to choose when I get there. The service and staff are great. But the person that stands out to us, every time we go is Roy. He appreciates our business and is very friendly and outgoing. Every restaurant needs a Roy. Thanks, keep it up…“

“Outstanding, authentic Italian cuisine. Pete and staff are amazing. The food is always prepared perfectly 👌🏻 Also, the BYOB makes this restaurant very appealing. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality and quantity you're receiving. I've been a regular here for years and plan on being one for many years to come. FYI... homemade cannoli cake is insanely delicious! The Arancini, Fried Calamri etc... the best around... and do not skip the Broccoli Rabe'“

“Oh man… where to start. The service was phenomenal, great recommendations, great atmosphere, the owner, Ms. Dana greeted us with a smile, Nikki the manager was great to deal with. Now the food… I had the special, “The Gobbler” and it was unbelievably tasty. The crunch from the toasted bread, the flavors all together were a symphony on my taste palette. My gf got the “Toni Ann” and she couldn’t talk while we were eating together because she wouldn’t stop stuffing her face. After she said the chicken cutlet was cooked perfect, mozzarella was fresh, peppers were exquisite. Overall experience was just mind-blowing. I’d recommend Ferraro’s to any person, local or travelers, you NEED to stop and eat here.“

“Beautiful alfresco dining weather permitting. Dinner never disappoints all selections excellemt. Best mussels ever. It’s not about the mussels but about the sauce which is FABULOUS.“

“What a find! We are local but this was our first time here. Been going to the nail salon near by for years and decided to try the restaurant with friends! It is now my favorite restaurant and not only near because it is near by.

Can't wait to go back and try more from the menus. The Supa de Pesce was spectacular. Fresh and delicious! Service was great as well! Can't wait to return and try some other items on the menu! As a pescatarian this may well be my new favorite restaurant and being local
Is a bonus!!!“

“I came here for a romantic date night and Anthony was our server. Anthony went above and beyond! The service was incredible! He was hustling during a busy dinner rush and still gave us the best experience. We are new to Boonton and he was super helpful. The server made the experience a 10/10, we will be back.“

Their whipped cream is homemade and to perfection. Mangia and enjoy!“

“I recently held a birthday dinner for about 30 guests. I cannot express enough my sincere gratitude and appreciation for a wonderful event. David, Engin, and Nicole were invaluable throughout the planning process as well as executing the service and bar for the party. The chef did an exceptional job with the food and the amount of choices available to me was incredible. The service throughout the night was impeccable. There was never a dry glass and the food was served promptly and efficiently. I am so happy I chose Zola's for my husband's special day. We are frequent patrons of this restaurant and have always loved their food. This party exceeded my high expectations. Thanks to all who made this a memorable night. I highly recommend this restaurant for a great meal and or special occasion.“

The crust was perfectly baked with just the right balance of crisp and chew, the sauce was full of flavor, and the cheese was melted perfectly. The toppings were fresh and generously portioned, which made every slice satisfying. Whether it was catered or ordered for a group, the pizza stayed hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Every box was a hit, and there wasn’t a single slice left behind. You can tell Pomodoros takes real pride in the quality of their pizza. Highly recommend Pomodoros if you’re looking for consistently great pizza that pleases a crowd. I will definitely be ordering again!“

“I’ve been eating pizza my whole life, and like most people, the foods you grow up with usually stay your favorites, same for my wife and me. But after a recent trip to Italy, we both agreed… pizza in Italy is on another level! 🇮🇹🍕

So imagine our surprise yesterday when we stopped into A Legna Wood Fired Pizza and after the VERY first bite, we looked at each other and just smiled.

This Margherita pizza was hands down the BEST pizza we’ve had in New Jersey, and trust me, we’ve tried pizza spots all over the state!

The crust, the sauce, the fresh mozzarella… absolutely incredible. If you’re looking for amazing pizza, do yourself a favor and stop by! And bonus: they’re BYOB too! 🍷🍕“
