50 Best Italian Restaurants near Hopatcong

“Always good food…soup is always fresh, they carry great empanadas too!“

“The food here is outstanding & delicious! You must try the Sicilian Grandma's Pizza. The crust was amazing as is how they make a Sicilian slice of pizza. It's the right balance of crust and fresh ingredients without it being overpowered with dough. The salad we had was delicious too. Everything so far we had here is just phenomenal as is the customer service, staff & owner. Definitely go and check it out!“

“We went last night to celebrate NYE at Rosie's... the food was delicious, however we did not get our dinner until 10:45. We arrived at 8:30. In fact, our table was last to receive each course of the meal, and it was just too slow. The bill for 4, with tip, was $650, which is too much to receive such poor service.“

“ordered a tomato pie and Italian sub, the pizza was fantastic and the sub had fresh quality meats and the roll was terrific. I would highly recommend this place to any one who enjoys authentic Italian food. Nice job.“

“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.“

“On Friday, I came across an article that this was voted number one in Sussex County New Jersey. I was intrigued. I love Pizza so much; unfortunately, for many years I had no desire going out for pizza because everywhere I went It was terrible. I’m born and raised in Milford, PA in Pike county. I fell in love with L&B’s in Brooklyn; but it’s been 17 years since I’ve been there last. Friday night I ordered the presto pizza two slices of it, and I fell in love after the first bite. The waitress and I’m sorry I forgot her name asked me what I thought and I loved it. It was incredible. My mission now is to try every pizza on the menu. That’s my goal finishing out 2025 into 2026 thank you thank you thank you. You have gained new customers, my husband and I. 💚🤍❤️“

“Best pizza in town. Also better than 90% of pizza in NYC. My family loves Enzo's Pizza.“

“We were there several times. It was great. Service was great as well.“

“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.“

“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!!“

Cocktails, wine, main meals and dessert were great as was the ambiance and the hospitality of Dina, who we met, her sister and the entire staff. We live about 50 minutes away but we will make it a point to return in the not so distant future.“

“The pizza is out of this world. The sauce is incredible and my favorite has to be the Brooklyn MVP and the Portney Bar Pie! Whole menu makes it so I can mix it up but I seem to always go back to the Brooklyn MVP! Great spot, great menu, amazing food!“

“Very accommodating, great food, great atmosphere and wonderful place to dine“

“I have had two bridal showers at Portofino in Oak Ridge, and not only did everyone love the food, but Nancy and the entire staff is outstanding. They go above and beyond to help you in any capacity that they can. I highly recommend Portofino either for lunch, dinner or any kind of event you have whether it is big or small. You can't go wrong with Portofino, I can't say enough great things about the staff and restaurant!“

“Thank you so much for honoring our Nurses during Nurses week! We appreciate you! The food was delicious 😋“

“Grabbed both breakfast (BEC PK) on a roll and then lunch (Sausage, Peppers and Onions) today, both were great. The breakfast sandwich was layered perfectly between the meat, 3 eggs and cheese that it came with. It wasn’t greasy and it also wasn’t falling apart when you were eating it. The Sausage, Peppers and Onions sub came on some really fresh bread, had a ton of flavoring and again, not greasy. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area and want to try something delicious on the go.“

“I absolutely recommend Pizza1! Beat pizza I’ve had in YEARS! They also cover the ENTIRE pie with mozzarella and I never bite into dough and sauce! FINALLY a pizza place that is not a con or CHEAP and uses ENOUGH Mozzarella! Their pies are also 16 inches,but it’s the biggest 16 in pie I’ve eaten! At least you can fold a slice of pizza from this place. Definitely get your next pie from this place! Hopefully they stay consistent!!“

“A Hidden Gem in Wharton That Keeps Getting Better!

This evening we had a truly wonderful dinner at Reno’s Pizzeria and Restaurant in Wharton, NJ. From start to finish, everything about our visit was top-notch. Our server, Shirley, was incredibly attentive—friendly, prompt, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. What really stood out, though, was that Reno himself came by to check in and ensure we were enjoying our evening. It’s not every day you see that level of care and pride from an owner, and it absolutely elevated the experience.

We started with two fantastic appetizers—the eggplant rollatini and little neck clams in marinara sauce. Both were delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. For entrees, we chose the mahi mahi in mango sauce special and the shrimp scampi over linguini. Each dish was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Compliments to the chef—truly excellent work in the kitchen!

We ended our meal on a sweet note with the mini cannolis, which were perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor.

Although Reno’s (formerly Maria’s) has been a staple in town for some time, their recent expansion into a charming sit-down dining area has added so much to the local dining scene. It’s cozy, welcoming, and a perfect spot for a relaxed and satisfying dinner. Reno’s is a real asset to Wharton, and we’ll definitely be back! (PS It's BYOB!)“

“I ordered Mike’s Special Pizza yesterday, and it is amazing! Reminds me of a combination of their Chicken Aurora Dinner (which I love) and their Grandma Pizza (so so good.) My kids also love the burgers here. I look forward to ordering again!“

“Just moved here from NH. Got it to go. My husband and I loved the food for such a reasonable price. We live in Sparta and this place is only 2.5 miles from our new home! Yea!!“

“Thank you, George and staff Always aiming to make things right.“

“Buffalo Chicken pizza with Blue Cheese drizzle was delicious. Great, friendly service...“

“Pizza was amazing and calamari was out of this world“

“Food was on point, The Tower appetizer would be better if the eggplant was fried, and crispy though. The outdoor area overlooking the lake was beautiful on a summer evening.

The outdoor seating isn't particularly comfortable, and it get a bit loud. Still, it was an enjoyable dinner.“

“Just started ordering from Anthony & Sons all the way from Northeastern PA and couldn't be happier with the selection and fantastic service. Excited to incorporate their breads and rolls into our menu.“

“Carmine's is our go to place whenever we crave Italian or a cheesesteak. Husband and I were there yesterday for late lunch. Excellent pasta fagioli soup, huge slices of pizza, and overstuffed, cheesesteak. Great service and reasonable prices. We were informed there is an extra charge if you're not paying cash. This is becoming a common practice and we were informed of it. Server was excellent and made us feel welcome. I was asked if I knew of any pizza parlors served gluten free and of course I recommended Carmine's.“

“Everything about this experience was wonderful! This was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in a LONG time. Unfortunately, I inhaled my food before I thought to take a picture of it. Just believe me when I say it looked appealing and tasted great!“

“Muy buena comida me encanta la pizza y las alitas de pollo con picante“

“DELISH! I ordered a full tray of chicken Parm and of baked ziti. My family devoured everything and asked to take a dish home. Very generous servings and delicious. The phone order was soooo nice and the delivery was timely. I would recommend for your next catering need.“

“Best pizza, chicken fingers and sandwiches around! People are terrific and prices fair for the quality!“

“Excellent food! Friendly atmosphere as well?“

“Have been dealing with Delizia for well over 10 years now…chicken Francaise is out of this world and $1.00 a slice for pizza isn’t too bad at all for a quick snack !“

“We always love ordering from La Gratella. For big parties we like to order a tray of Cavatelli and Broccoli with chicken in their garlic sauce, it's absolutely delicious! Their lunch specials are also great, my favorite is the chicken francese sub!“

“Best pizza I've ever had which says a lot since I drive over the road as a truck driver and have also worked in NYC for 20 years. A mind blowing selection to choose from at lunch, perfectly thin and crispy, high quality ingredients. Wow.“

“Brian is a gem, great service and Drinks. Some of the other should take tips from him, not as good but overall service and food is very good. There should be uniformity in cooking, for example the pastrami sloppy joe has been in 2 pcs ,grilled and other times it's 3 pcs toasted, other times it's not grilled or tosted and served sandwich style, 2 pcs. White bread!! Great food and drinks overall, no matter how it's served. Try them and you'll become a regular patron!!

Parking: Parking is very good whole parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, try em you'll see for yourself!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible by wheelchair, from parking to restaurant, whether diner or tavern.“
