50 Best Italian Restaurants near Lebanon

“Three of us dined there 6/27 and chose different chicken entrees. Each meal was exceptional. This BYO is better than many of the Italian restaurants in the area. Can’t wait to go back. All three of us agreed it was 5 star worthy!“

“Wonderful restaurants, great service and delicious food!“

“The restaurant looks nice inside and very clean, and the people working there are awesome! The food was very good, and the pizza is definitely one of the best in the area.

They made a pasta dish for me that wasn't on the menu, and it was really good! They went out of their way to make it really well, even though they never had before and I have to give them credit for that that as well! That's great customer service!

Would recommend this pizzeria to anyone who likes good pasta and pizza for sure, but I'd imagine everything on the menu is worth trying. Enjoy!“

“Oh my goodness I just got the best cheesesteak from Hampton Junction....it was absolutely delicious...everyone go get one!!!“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! The food is absolutely delicious!!!! This Italian Restuarant, in my opinion, is the best in Clinton. The owners and staff are customer focused and if you need an ingredient changed in a dish ordered, they are more than willing to go the extra mile to make certain that you are satisfied. The atmosphere is warm and quaint which leaves one feeling very relaxed and comfortable. Be sure to dine in this restaurant, you'll be glad you did!“

“Awesome - love the broccoli rabe and sausage appetizer - so good Great pasta and chicken dishes also.“

“Had catering for a party and the food was excellent! Great job 👏 👏👏👏👏 from Tony and his staff. Plenty of leftovers!“

“Got married there over a decade ago and have been coming out ever since. Many restaurants are good businesses and in addition to this, Demos and Jimmie show their passion for what they create. My fav is shrimp and scallops over pasta in a great cream sauce… steaks are great and Demos is a wizard in the bakery.“

“We just moved to Califon and this is the first place we tried. Hit right on the spot! Their Spinach ravioli and Vegetable Dish Pasta is a must try! Their wine selection is amazing too! Would highly recommend trying the place and will definitely visit again and again! Bonus: they have gluten-free capellini tasted just like pasta without an aftertaste!“

“Delicious food, great service and nice ambience!“

“Attended a party there. Great food. We had Caesar salad, meatballs (giant), fried calamari (really good!) and our choice of entree. I chose chicken parmigiana, first off as a joke I asked the server if this was for the entire table, a huge portion! Two large chicken breasts atop a good size serving of linguine. The red sauce was excellent. I can’t wait to go back.“

“I can’t say one bad thing about this restaurant - the food, the service, even the greeting at the front door was all great. As soon as my friends and I walked in we felt comfortable. We shared eggplant rollatini and bruschetta to start, and each had pasta dishes (chicken parm & lasagna) for our main entrees. We each brought half our dinners home so we could share a dessert :) which was also wonderful (fresh baked chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron pan with ice cream). We WILL be back. This place is a gem!“

“Always great food and excellent service highly recommended! Never a bad meal love the sweet and sour calamari !!!“

“Beautiful inside. Food and service was Wonderful! 100% recommend!“

“Was there for the first time last night, what a wonderful experience! The service was great, Franchesca was very friendly and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious. One of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. If you are looking for great food and service, definitely visit this place!“

“Amazing“

“Food was amazing … Fast and delicious“

“Had a nice lunch sitting outside in lovely weather. Would rate higher but would like to see what dinner would be like before giving 5 stars for the food. I had chicken milanese. Was cooked perfectly and all the food i saw was legit Italian. Was pleased to see a woman come with her dog, who was welcome in the outdoor area. Will definitely return.“

“bensi is my favorite restaurant. the staff is always welcoming and the food is absolutely amazing“

“Best tacos in flemington!!!“

“will eat there again!!!!!“

“Everything is so GOOD! I'll be back!“

“Really good. Pleasant outdoor seating. Loved the pretzel knots. Good beer, sweet potato fries for most part were good. Would have enjoyed a dipping sauce for fries and for my prime rib sliders drummies were good but could have used a sauce“

“Angelo’s never disappoints food fresh & yummy.“

“This authentic Neapolitan pizzeria is a gem! Not only is the pizza phenomenal and the best I have ever had, the kind, friendly and genuine costumer service is absolutely outstanding. Great outdoor seating space. This pizzeria is amazing and I cannot wait to dine there again! Do not walk to this place…instead run for the most epic pizza and friendly restaurant service you can find in Clinton, NJ!“

“excellent and quick service, Delicious food and a great atmosphere !! The owner is very nice and attentive to every customer making sure they are having a good time while eating the delicious food.“

“Al fresco’s is a great spot in flemington. Great food,the portions are verygood . Most dinners my wife and I can’t finish. The staff is fantastic. About 6-7 minutes away from us.im hearing they’re closing down this location. I hope not we love this place😀.“

“The best food, service, and reasonably priced. Family meals are a great value when you don't feel like cooking. I have also catered parties here. Thank you, for helping us out with our Girl Scout troop!!“

“All .. salad pizza is my favorite“

“We love going to Marinelli's! The food is delicious and all of the servers are beyond lovely! Kudos 👏“

“The food is awesome on both sides! Shabo and family are wonderful hosts! We love NY Pizza and Monte Casa!“

“This is our GO-TO place for catering when we have parties. They are so accommodating, they can make anything on or off the menu, great pricing, and they are truly appreciative for the business! Every single time we order, our guests RAVE about the food. We went out on a limb and ordered a large cheesesteak Stromboli last night and people couldn’t stop eating it. HIGHLY recommend!“

“Excellent food and better people. Food is very tasty, fresh, and great 'inventions'. Love Angelo, Lorenzo, and Emilio. They treat you like family. You will find homemade scones made by Angelo which are very good. No one makes a better white pizza than Angelo. All the pizza is very good, the bacon chicken ranch one of my favorites. And the dinners, Jim loves the seafood, are always very delicious. No better server than Lorenzo. He knows you and will recommend for what you might like. Love the hugs. Couldn't ask for a better gem in Flemington. It is my happy place, which is what is saved on my phone.“

“Rose and Joe run a top notch bakery. All of their stuff is fresh and delicious. If you want bread get there early though! It sells out quick! ❤️“

“I went to Pezzo Pizza with three children under 5, and the staff was just incredible. They were so, so sweet and accommodating — not always an easy task with little ones, I get it! I felt completely at home, and so did the kids. The food was really good too, which made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to find a place that makes dining out with children feel easy and enjoyable, but Pezzo Pizza really delivered. We’ll definitely be back!“

“While your food is delicious, your customer service need work. Some of the younger kids rush you off the phone and when you pick up your food its even worse. no thank you, no nothing. just sign here and they walk away. almost short of bring rude“

“Not only is the food delicious but the people are wonderful! They always remember our name and make our kids feel so special. If I could give it 10 stars I would, can’t possibly recommend this place enough!“

“Union county in the house! The best pizza in the area here in warren county .Compares to none other. Tried them all in the 20 years since we moved here. We Always ask for thin crust and it never disappoints. Mangia mangia!“

“Love their food one problem they always deliver to my house on a Sunday I called up ordering for delivery the guy told me that they don’t deliver to my area Told him your boss told me you do he asked his boss he then said oh well we’re backed up so why don’t you order from the Hillsboro one the Hillsboro one is further away from me then Flemington location I will give them another shot because I like their food but I’m making it clear I’m unhappy with their staff and the way I was treated when all I wanted was a pizza Sunday night“

“Everything possible is made on site including the amazing sausage that was on our pizza 🍕“

“Really great slice. I started visiting Chester 25 years ago as a young kid. The thinner than average crust at Bella's stood out to me even then, but still feels true to NJ Style pizza which I strictly classify and golden brown and crispy crust/bottom which achieves those wonderful golden brown micro bubbles. I'm normally skeptical of pizza joints which use a mesh tray to cook, however this place is quite the exception. The mesh tray might be their secret to that really awesome bake on their crust.“

“everything! they are the best around❤“

“Fantastic couple who owns and operates the restaurant. Love the base red sauce flavor, warning though that it’s on the sweeter side.

Great pizza. Wife loves the penne vodka.

They also make Italian desserts for the holidays for takeout sale.“

“The food is always delicious, highly recommend the 420 Burger, and the chicken and Swiss panini, or the blackened ribeye. And just tonight I tried their special for a loaded baked potato and it was huge and delicious I hope they keep it on the menu. And the staff is always friendly and the delivery drivers are awesome.“

“Delicious thin crust pizza! Came upon this shop while wandering through Jersey. Originally local to the New Haven ct area, so am hard pressed to admit any place compares, but the pizza was amazing. Wonderful staff, very friendly. Loved the white pie, and took home the chicken bacon ranch for the kids. Will definitely pit stop here again while passing through Jersey. Will give Jersey the pizza win for the day.“

“I never give five stars for anything, as five star would be perfection. Guess what, this is the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy. Produce is obviously fresh and high standard. I'm a bit of a foodie, and I've eaten in some expensive restaurants that don't have food as good as this. I won't go anywhere else.“

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍“

“Got 6 pizzas from gabbys for a bounce city birthday party. My son has a severe egg allergy and they promised to mark a pie and take extra care with it. He was able to eat it without any issue and we all enjoyed the pizza a lot. Thank you Gabby’s!“
