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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Visited this restaurant with our friends, Eddie & Kathie, who live in the area and we had a marvelous time. 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.“

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!“

The staff at LaVita was welcoming and incredibly friendly, which made the whole experience even better.

“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!)“

“Ordered form catering menu. Very happy. Food was delicious. Delivered on time definitely recommend for your catering needs.“

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

“We recently hosted a birthday part? W Franks pizza catering it .hoagies and sev platters everything came out perfect..very reasonably priced totally recommend for catering the chicken and padta dished..deluscious!(Thanks Franks for a great party!)“

“Lovely atmosphere. Very good food and great staff.“

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

“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.“

“We recently had catering from Uncle Sal's Pizza in Budd Lake for our large Christmas party, and we were thoroughly impressed with the experience. Their catering menu is incredibly extensive, offering us a wide array of options to choose from. With a large number of guests and various dietary restrictions to consider, it was our first time hosting a party and having food catered for us. We collaborated with the restaurant to create a diverse menu that accommodated everyone's needs while ensuring we had just the right amount of food.We greatly appreciated the restaurant's guidance to prevent us from over-ordering. They delivered the food promptly and assisted us in setting everything up seamlessly. However, what truly stood out was the quality of the food. Every item was outstanding, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Many asked where we had ordered the food, as it was not only delicious but also served hot and fresh.We will undoubtedly turn to Uncle Sal's Pizza for all our future catering needs. Their pricing was also very reasonable, making it a fantastic value for the exceptional food and service they provided. Uncle Sal's Pizza in Budd Lake is a reliable choice for making any event a success. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“I love this place and decided to order our thanksgiving turkey from them. It was absolutely amazing! Perfectly cooked and amazing flavor. They are always so nice and I don’t think I’ve ordered a single thing that didn’t taste great.“

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

“My husband and I have visited La Strada a number of times over the years. Back in April, after the pandemic, when eating inside was allowed once again, we visited and wasn't happy with the service, nor the meal. But keep in mind, most places were having a difficult time finding help. We thought that we would once again give La Strada a try, and we were very happy and delighted with everything. First, the service was excellent. Upon sitting down, bread, butter and a array of olives were served. We then ordered drinks and dinner. Dinner came with a wonderful house salad. (We loved the house dressing.) My husband order Chicken Marsala and I ordered Chicken Parm. Both meals were excellent and very generous in size. (Enough left overs for another meal.) They obviously had gotten a new chef, who is excellent. Also, they had a number of waiters/waitresses, who were very attentive. They really have greatly improved over our last experience, and we'll be going back soon.“

“Great food, family friendly dining. Love this local treasure“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food! Friendly atmosphere as well?“

“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!“

“My first time here and the food was great! The atmosphere inside is really nice and they play good music. The mushroom ravioli, charcuterie and lamb lollipop were all fantastic! We went at night on a cold day; but, we plan to go back in the summer or maybe lunch to catch views of the lake. I would definitely recommend!“

“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!“

“Frank's Pizzeria in Flanders, NJ, is one of my favorite spots for a delicious meals. A warm and friendly atmosphere greets you from the moment you walk in, making you feel right at home. The pizza at this establishment is absolutely exceptional; it is cooked to perfection, and it has the ideal proportion of tasty toppings and a crust that is crisp. It is clear that they use fresh ingredients, which is a significant factor that makes a difference. No matter if you prefer the traditional Margherita or something a little more daring, Frank's offers a wide range of alternatives that are guaranteed to live up to your expectations. Furthermore, in addition to pizza, the menu features an excellent assortment of Italian dishes, each of which is produced with the same level of attention to detail and flavor. Each and every visit is guaranteed to be a pleasant experience because the personnel is always friendly and attentive. Frank's Pizzeria is a hidden treasure in the province of Flanders. If you are in the neighborhood and have a taste for some of the best pizza or Italian cuisine in the area, I strongly suggest that you give Frank's a try. When you leave, you will feel content and want to come back!“

“We recently had our Cross Country banquet and the food was from Anthony Franco’s. It was delicious! The kids devoured the pizza and the salad was very fresh. Thank you so much!“
