50 Best Italian Restaurants near Lebanon

“Wonderful restaurants, great service and delicious food!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“What a delightful young man Ari is! He made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The service was excellent, thanks to Ari, and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this lovely family-owned restaurant.“

“Delicious food, great service and nice ambience!“

“The best Italian food in Morris county. The chicken Valentino is beyond incredible. I also tried the Asian calamari whilst here and it was hands down the best calamari dish I’ve tried. On top of that, this place is run by a top family. Caring, witty and helpful. A must visit if you’re in the area!!!!“

“Food was amazing … Fast and delicious“

“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“

“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😀.“

“We held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Dora’s and overall had a great experience! We were already frequent guests and knew this would be the perfect venue. The food was absolutely delicious, and everyone especially loved the Dora Ravioli. They allowed us to rent the entire restaurant for our party and were very accommodating, arranging the tables as we requested and placing our menus out for us. It was BYOB and they even allowed us to drop off our wine prior to the event, which was very helpful. Thank you Dora’s for a memorable night!“

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

“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!!“

“We love coming here for pizza! It’s absolutely delicious! My daughter always requests to come here for lunch. The gelato and sorbet is yummy too!! Richard and Alex always serve us with a smile. Such a nice vibe.“

“All .. salad pizza is my favorite“

“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!“

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

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is my #1 favorite pizza spot. The crust is crispy the sauce is perfect and they are generous with toppings
My personal fav is the cheesesteak pie!
Everytime I go in to pick up the woman behind the counter always is smiling/working hard and friendly
Pricing is very fair too.“

“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!“

“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! 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.“

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Excelente servicio la comida risiquisima Y un ambiente agradable te entregan la comida súper calientita lo recomiendo al 💯si comes en el restaurante te tratan como en familia te recomiendo todas las pastas están súper deliciosas Y si tienes un evento que selebrar te dan los mejores precios del area Gracias panatier’ pizza y pasta Por su excelente servicio 🙏“

“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.“

“Very good Pizza and very friendly staff. We went as a group and they took care of us with no problem. When I am in the area again, this will be where I go to eat...“

“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.“
