50 Best Italian Restaurants near Fairview

“Everything 😆 c the staff !“

“Best Margherita pizza in New Jersey“

“Solid 4-star pizza. Not perfect, but great for the price. Their plain pizzas were big, but lacked seasoning and had a bit too much crust flavor and not enough cheese/sauce flavor. But considering today's pizza prices, I'd pick this pizza over anything else any day of the week.“

“Truck Driver here, ordered food delivery and was great flavor and fresh.“

“Chicken parm Great Wings.“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“Easily one of the best meals of my life! Crazy creative! Only 16 seats, very special in all ways.“

“Great food, warm and welcoming staff.“

“Delicioso highly recommend“

“By far our favorite restaurant we visit in the city. Have been here over 500x and the tagliatelle with sheep’s cheese cabbage and shrimp will never get old ! Carmine runs a beautiful establishment on the UWS“

“The Japanese and Italian flavors mixed well and are to come back for. I stayed in the hotel where the restraunt was attached. In the area, with a focus of cocktails and table service for an upscale environment, it was delightful.

I love cocktails, and the servers were personable. Nothing pretentious. They focus on service and taste! Our food was excellent and the drinks were even better. It's a pleasant experience.“

“The food here is amazing, and the staff are great. I can’t recommend it enough. Unfortunately, the Facebook rating system for restaurants is focused mostly on the wrong things, likely due to poor algorithm design. Curbside pickups? Daily specials? Takeaway menu? Grow up, Facebook.“

“Went for our anniversary!! Had an amazing meal!! Wonderful service and great atmosphere!! Highly recommend!!“

“Best vegan pizza in NYC. I could have sworn I reviewed Double Zero before and now I’m wondering if the review disappeared because it was for their old location. They moved (on the same block I think?) into a place that looks a little tighter inside but had an outdoor seating.

Came with a party of 3 and sat inside for a quiet Saturday night dinner—interior seating was maybe half full and exterior seating was packed.

Warning interior didn’t have AC running.

Got two pizzas and jackfruit tacos

Jackfruit tacos: Good but lacked a sauce or spice that left it getting drowned out by the much more flavorful pizzas

Truffle cashew cream pizza: Excellent. Third time getting it and every time it’s been a hit. Flavorful spread of mushrooms on cashew cheese

Spicy Pepperoni Pizza: Pepperonis themselves quite good on a tomato, basil, cheese base. Note the pepperonis have coconut in them in case you’re allergic.

Also got two cocktails and a mocktail, but nothing to report there. My Moscow mule was largely ice.

Unfortunately, the owner is apparently a terrible person according to the April 22, 2024 NYTimes article, but the food is good especially for vegans.“

“The spaghetti dinner with shrimp was delicious. Our waiter was wonderful and very attentive providing an even greater dining experience. I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Little Italy that wants an exceptional dining experience.“

“Wonderful Christmas Eve dinner on our visit to NYC. Service & Food were both excellent. Lovely family setting.“

“I'd had this place on my list for a long time and finally got the chance to visit! I was not disappointed. We were seated on the outdoor terrace (which was pretty loud and cold, because of the AC). Volume aside, the food was amazing! Standouts: the tiramisu and corn pasta. A great neighbourhood spot, though a little pricey!“

“This is a great restaurant, last year (2023) we came twice and Ram was great, his service and attitude was fantastic, and this year (2024) we came back again just to see him (and of course to have some drinks and great food).“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“Loved this small 100 year old Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village. The food was delish, but even better than the food was the atmosphere and the staff. Our waiter was Tony. Not only was he funny, he knew his pasta! We felt like old friends by the time we left! The bartender was not only beautiful to look at, he too treated us like old friends! He meet us at the door on our way out and gifted me with a juicy birthday kiss! Totally made my night!“

“The food is incredible and the service is always on point. The beet hummus was the table's favorite. The watermelon salad was delightful. The drinks are pricey, but they have delicious mocktails and even an alcohol removed sparkling wine.“

“Came to a wedding and the food is absolutely phenomenal!“

“It is theeeeBEST! Make a reservation NOW!“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant after not finding any open seats in the area and so glad we did. Despite them closing in 30 minutes they did not hesitate to seat our party of 6. The manager was amazing and seriously a gem between advising the perfect meal choices and wine pairings, she also poured the drinks, cut the pasta and still took time to give us the best recommendations for a visit to Milan. This was probably one of the best pastas I have ever had! Thank you!!!! What a gem find!!“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Made a special celebration that much more momentous. Do not skip the prosciutto with ricotta or octopus apps-delicious!“

“Five stars. Da Toscano is an absolute gem in the heart of Greenwich Village, a true destination for anyone who loves Italian food. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and sophisticated without being stuffy. The service is impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making you feel like a valued guest rather than just another diner.
But the real star of the show is, of course, the food. Every dish is a masterpiece of flavor and technique. The pastas are a must-try; the lamb neck agnolotti is a revelation, and the orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe pesto is the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes in appreciation. The creativity on the menu is matched only by the flawless execution. Even the simple things, like their focaccia, are elevated to an art form.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an extraordinary meal, Da Toscano delivers on every front. It's a place where you can taste the passion and skill that goes into every plate. I've dined here multiple times, and each visit has been consistently exceptional. It is, without a doubt, one of the best Italian restaurants in New York City and a guaranteed five-star experience.“

“Restaurante de comida italiana muito bom!“

“Sat at Chefs counter. Started with steak tartar special which was amazing. Next a Spring pasta with envelopes of melted ricotta cheese. My favorite was the rabbit with rigatoni. Unbelievable. A couple glasses of the Barolo by the glass, along with the ice cream sandwich and we were in heaven!“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“everyone from the hostess to the weight staff to the bus boys. They were all incredibly polite, courteous, and professional. The food was fantastic worth the money. Where we sat, which is outside of the main dining area in a booth with only two tables with four place settings, each was the perfect spot for intimate conversation. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience“

“Our meal was delicious! The staff was very friendly. Our sweet server even brought us a complimentary Tiramisu. ❤️“

“Delicious food good service“

“Great food and atmosphere. The mocktail was superb“

“Fantastic!! So glad we came, by far the best Italian we’ve had….ever! Service from the outset was 1st class, very attentive team, could not do enough for you. Food quality was outstanding. Definitely worth the price tag.“

“El personal es muy amable, atentos y deliciosa comida.“

“Good food, but nothing worth waiting hours for in the rain, like many people were. Broccoli rabe and tonarelli cacio e pepe were great. We were seated at the window, and a homeless guy came right up and started staring at us, but the server was very nice and got him to leave.“

“It’s a restaurant that’s reminds me of my childhood and my early Twenties that was my go to Italian restaurant. I loved everything about this place and enjoyed the great food. I took my wife to celebrate our birthday together and talked about how amazing it was growing up in this neighborhood.“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“Brilliant place - food is awesome and the service is impeccable. Just got placed in my list of must visit places on the LES“

“The food was absolutely amazing, it was well prepared and the service went above and beyond. The waiter was very friendly and the owner was so lovely, they noticed I was hot and handed me a mini fan to cool off! The atmosphere is perfect and gorgeous. Highly recommend visiting this spot, it’s family friendly as well!“

“neighborhood diamond … love this place“

“We enjoyed the food so much!“

“I am so bored of red sauce Italian-American food! I longed for a restaurant with interesting, delicious pasta dishes and found San Carlo. We had a salad and three different pastas, and each dish was thoughtful and balanced. Went back twice in one week for the spaghettone with anchovies. We even have a new favorite truffle pasta in the city! I no longer live here, but will make it a point to return every time I visit family. We loved it, food and service was impeccable.“

“Restaurante de comida italiana muito bom!“

“We happened to be walking by on a Friday night and my husband pointed it out. Our pasta was fresh and delicious and served so quickly. The staff was beyond attentive and professional. The bathrooms were gorgeous and clean. It delivered on all aspects. We had Zeppole with lemon curd for dessert and it was unreal!“

“The service and the food were absolutely amazing. I ordered the ricotta toast and the melon salad. Both were exquisite full of flavor. Then we ordered two pasta dishes that were magnificent. We were fortunate enough to be seated in front of the chefs. The head Chef was so kind and making jokes all night which made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. Thank you! We will certainly be back.“

“Great looking restaurant with a nice bar area, excellent food and service. The weather was nice so we sat outside. Good neighborhood vibe with lots of people walking by. Neapolitan pizza was excellent. Great crust. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside with a nice undercarriage. Delicious fresh toppings. The waiter was friendly, professional, and attentive. He showed pride in working here and talked with us about the restaurant and the neighborhood.“
