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.“

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

“We go to Bella Italia at least once a week because they have a great menu selection, and everything you order is delicious. and we enjoy the atmosphere, the friendly and efficient staff and how friendly the owners are and come around to greet you and make you feel like you are part of their family.“

“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. 💚🤍❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“I have switched to getting my pizza here on Fridays after work. It's convenient for me & my family who are picky about their pizza, love it. I've been very happy with the light, crispy crust, the sauce is delicious & we like how the cheese melts right into the crust. They even make 2 slices for me with just sauce, no cheese. Most pizzarias won't do that. I recommend you give them a try.“

“pizza ones cool ranch wrap is so good. its a noce filler after a full night. they have very good customer service and are always willing to help. 100% recommend!!“

“This is a great restaurant. Great food, great service, lovely interior.“

“Very Good Italian Food. Always Delicious.“

“Small but excellent Italian deli with all the classics. The Italian and chicken cutlet hero’s were on point, quality of the meats and cheeses were on the level you’d expect from a shop that is importing many of their ingredients directly from Italy.

The $3 Parmesan and prosciutto arancini were a great snack to add on as well. Look forward to going back and working my way through the menu.“

“Bensi of Denville has been our go to spot the last few nights. It’s been awhile since we are there. Sangria was excellent along with the Chicken Saltimbocca. Very clean and they are wearing their masks. Excellent!“

“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.“

“Ron's did our banquet of 160 people and everyone said the food was excellent. We found the staff on time with the food, extremely helpful, fairly priced and very generous with amounts. We will be using Ron's going forward. Thanks so much, Ron, it was great!“

“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.“

“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!)“

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

“Excellent food! Friendly atmosphere as well?“

“To be fair, my rating is over 4. It's more like a 4.6 since 1 of us 6 mentioned a slight negative about the flavor of her chicken. And our per person cost was about $50. I expected that, but that's okay. The sights outside were very nice. The grandchildren enjoyed themselves which is a plus. If you have a boat, you can actually dock it at the Windlass and order a meal. They also have several cabana looking coverings along the dock which can be reserved so you can enjoy your meal there. My wife noticed that the seating can glide forward and back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I truly am so excited about this restaurant. Me and my fiancé moved over a year ago and we kept trying pizza places and kept getting disappointed. I saw a post about this place and was skeptical because of all of our previous experiences with food in this area. PAISANOS DID NOT DISAPPOINT. This is the best take out in this area hands down. Thank you so much for putting so much love in your food.“

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

“Exceptional service, including for people who are able to clearly communicate customizable orders for food allergies and dietary restrictions after carefully reviewing the allergen menu. This particular Olive Garden has routinely involved managers in confirming such orders to ensure safety and accuracy. Keep up the great work!“

“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!“

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

“Great aesthetics, pleasant friendly staff, great bar menu and drink specials also the Diner menu is available and the food is Amazing every time, The prices are fair With many options. There is spacious parking, handicap accessible (no stairs) the bathrooms are clean!!“

“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.“

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

“This place is AWESOME!! Love the food, quick on deliveries. Beats any pizzeria in this area!!“

“Frank’s is the best pizza place around! Their food is always so fresh and the waitstaff is great. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!“
