50 Best Italian Restaurants near Maywood

“Rosario and his staff are the best! Consistently great food and service!! Always smile , a joke and a great meal!! Maywood needed this place!!!“

“I was about to place an order with this place since I've never tried them. I live locally once going through their menu online. I was shocked to see and I'm trying to figure out how they can charge $10.40 for an order of french fries. When you can go to Chick-fil-A and get fresh cut literally french fries a large fry for $4.25 just shocking the price along with other items on their menu like I'm missing something are these magic french fries maybe God cut these french fries buy hand maybe that's why they're so expensive. Oh well.I never ended up placing an order so I can't rate the food“

“We happened to be walking by on a Friday night and my husband pointed it out. Our pasta was fresh and delicious and served so quickly. The staff was beyond attentive and professional. The bathrooms were gorgeous and clean. It delivered on all aspects. We had Zeppole with lemon curd for dessert and it was unreal!“

“Casa Lever is simply one of the absolute best Italian restaurants in New York City. Every time you go, it’s a sure thing.

The ambiance is beautiful. The room, the lighting, the artwork, everything feels elegant and thoughtfully designed. It’s classic New York with a refined Italian sensibility that runs through every detail.

The food is spectacular. You can tell they use the best ingredients and care deeply about quality, down to the smallest touches. Everything feels intentional and elevated.

The service is equally exceptional. Antonio, the maître d’, is wonderful. He is friendly, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. The entire team makes you feel taken care of without ever being overbearing.

And the attention to detail really extends everywhere. The bathrooms are immaculate and always have an attendant, stocked with beautiful products from Santa Maria Novella and Diptyque. It’s a small thing, but it says a lot about the level of care they bring to the entire experience.

As part of the Sant Ambroeus family, Casa Lever represents the very top tier of what they do. It’s a true New York staple and has been for years. In my opinion, it’s one of the best.. if not the best Italian restaurant in the city.“

“Absolutely amazing !! Convenient coat check. Beautiful environment. Food was just incredible and coursed out perfectly. very affordable, considering the experience and quality of food and comparing to other restaurants in the area. Loved the complementary dessert tasting at the end of the meal. Would totally go back to do the tasting menu, but we will not be in town - we're from WI and visit the city often. Will definitely come back.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful meal outdoors Saturday night. Waiter was attentive, food was delicious and atmosphere was quaint. Would definitely plan to be back again.“

“A close walk from the Met. We went on a Friday night and asked for an outdoor table (our reservation did not indicate either inside or out). Service was wonderful. We started with the meatballs which were good, but it was only 4 small meatballs. I enjoyed the Rigatoni with Sausage and Mushrooms. The fettuccine with beef ragu was also good, but missing a little something. The cannolo for dessert was a highlight.“

“Staying at the hotel, Bocca di Bacco Chelsea was a great choice easy to get to, cozy, friendly staff and the food was absolutely delicious. It felt comfortable and welcoming like a place you’d happily go back to again.“

You can really tell there’s attention to detail in every dish. The atmosphere feels upscale but still warm and comfortable, and the service was professional without being pretentious. Easily a restaurant you can go to for a special occasion or just a great night out. Can’t wait to come back.“

From the moment we arrived, Fabrizio demonstrated a level of professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness that truly elevated the entire experience.
His greeting was gracious and personal, his presence throughout the evening was seamless, and his ability to anticipate guests’ needs reflected both experience and genuine passion for hospitality.
What stood out most was his management style - refined, composed, and detail-oriented.
The team operated with precision and confidence under his supervision, creating an atmosphere that felt both elegant and welcoming.
It is clear that he leads by example and sets a very high standard for service excellence.In a city like New York, where fine dining standards are exceptionally competitive, Fabrizio distinguishes himself as a true asset to the establishment.
His professionalism, charisma, and commitment to guest satisfaction deserve recognition at the highest level.
It would be wonderful to see him acknowledged for the outstanding work he does.
Leaders like Fabrizio are rare, and they significantly enhance the reputation of the brand.“

The culinary offerings were beyond delicious, and the service was truly impeccable- a perfect’10’ in every aspect.
