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!!!“

“While at a friend's house, she suggested we order from Mario's in Maywood. I had never had their food, but my friend and I have the same taste, so I trust her judgement. She suggested I order the chicken parm. I ordered a hero, and she ordered the dinner. As an Italian who makes her own sauce feom scratch, I can be very picky when ordering things with sauce, a lot of places give me agita. Mario's sauce is excellent, and the chicken cutlets was as well. I couldn't finish because its a huge hero, so I brought the rest home and my picky son ate the other half. He immediately asked where we ordered from, because he loved it too. Mario's will definitely be on our list of places to get good food. The only issue was my friends meal came with a salad, but it wasn't delivered with the order. Other than that, I highly recommend Mario's! Looking forward to trying their pizza!“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“I loved my dinner here and will be coming back again and again. The food and service are exceptional (the tomato salad is amazing and their grilled chicken outstanding) and it's one of those restaurants -- increasingly all too rare -- where you feel genuinely welcome and wanted from the minute you walk in the door. My friend broke her wine glass towards the end of our meal (we were both finished eating our main courses) and the maitre d' offered to give us two new main courses because there was food left on our plates and they were concerned about glass shards in our food. We declined but it was an incredibly thoughtful offer (and the accident was entirely our fault). Lovely atmosphere, top-notch cocktails and outstanding food. Go!“

“By far our favorite restaurant we visit in the city. Have been here over 500x and the tagliatelle with sheep’s cheese cabbage and shrimp will never get old ! Carmine runs a beautiful establishment on the UWS“

“The atmosphere was classy and inviting, and the food was delicious. My friend and I had the calamari, baked clams, chicken parmesan, and an eggplant dish, and everything was really good.
The cocktails were superb! I hardly ever drink, and mine was just right. The service was also excellent—the waiters were attentive and on point throughout the entire meal.
I live in the neighborhood, so I’ll definitely be ordering takeout and stopping by again for dinner or maybe brunch. It’s a great neighborhood spot, and I highly recommend it!“

“This place is truly a hole in the wall! In the best way! My son recommended us this Italian wine bar with real candles, lighting the entire restaurant and with a very romantic ambience upstairs! The food was phenomenal, our waiter was friendly and the wait staff was quick! I must say the hostess was a bit distracted when we arrived, while she was sitting on a table by the entrance on her phone. I think that looks unprofessional for “the face” of the restaurant. We enjoyed our meal and were sat upstairs aside not having a reservation. We will definitely be back next time we are in the city!“

“Casa Lever may be my favorite expression of Park Avenue: architecturally serious, commercially consequential, and somehow much more playful than the traditional power lunch establishment. Lever House itself is one of my favorite classic buildings in New York, a 1952 modernist landmark whose glass-and-steel design still looks almost impossibly sharp against this stretch of Midtown. For my money, the design relative to the location is unbeatable if you prefer great twentieth-century architecture to new construction.

Park Avenue from the high 40s through the upper 50s is the highest velocity investment corridor in the world: information, fundraising, and transactions all moving through an extraordinarily dense piece of Manhattan. Third Point once headquartered here before moving to Hudson Yards, which I always thought was incredibly cool and a particularly fitting choice for Dan Loeb. I’ve experienced Casa Lever on several different occasions, including meeting a friend outside for a beer after work and, on another visit, having lunch inside.

Inside, everything feels considered, from the curved architecture and sculptural ceiling to the wonderfully restrained Casa Lever typography. The Warhol portraits were the masterstroke when I knew the restaurant: Giorgio Armani, the Shah of Iran, Farah Pahlavi, Aretha Franklin, and Dennis Hopper were among the faces looking out over the dining area. There is something deliciously apt about dining beneath that Warhol pantheon on Park Avenue, where financiers, media titans, and dynastic fortunes have long crossed paths with the people shaping fashion, advertising, and culture.

Later, on a completely separate occasion, I returned for dinner with a larger group and remember sitting around a big round table near the banquettes. Across lunch, dinner, and drinks, what stayed with me was how polished the service was and how effortlessly chic the whole experience felt. There is a more creative, feminine energy here than at many of Midtown’s harder-edged power restaurants, sophisticated without becoming stiff and glamorous without feeling theatrical.

The prices are pure Park Avenue, but so is the proposition: extraordinary architecture, extraordinary geography, and one of the coolest places in New York to bring someone when you want the city itself to participate in the evening. Casa Lever feels timeless because it never seems to chase relevance; the building, the design, and the people passing through already provide enough electricity. Few establishments capture this particular intersection of commerce, taste, history, and social theater quite as well.“

“Absolutely fantastic dining experience at Da Adriano! The food was fresh, authentic, and full of incredible flavor. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the quality really stood out.

“A wonderful dining experience“

“Great experience everything was perfect 😍“

“I love this place! Came here with a group of 11 at 1PM on a Sunday for brunch and it was all of our first times. The bottomless special is likely one of the best I’ve had in the city. $45 for 90 minutes of brunch drinks plus an entree.

To eat we had chicken and eggplant parmigiana, carbonara, banana bread french toast, and the frittata. The chicken parm was defintely the star, I think 3-4 of us ordered it. Drinks were excellent, the tropical fizz was the best of the options but can’t go wrong with any of them.

Shoutout to Florin for accommodating my group and helping me have one of best birthdays I’ve ever had. He also served us and made the drinks, he does it all! I’ll definitely be coming here again to check out the happy hour specials and dinner.“

“Exceptional food and service. Each dish had a combination of flavors and textures that were exciting. We loved nearly everything and the items we did not love were still really good. It's not cheap, but I highly recommend it!“

“If you go in New York absolutely you have to go to taste the food in La voglia restaurant. I recommend to everyone.“

“Place is a hidden treasure. Food is outstanding! The waiters were very welcoming, funny and very attentive without rushing us before we could ask for anything they were right there. The owner is super sweet with a beautiful personality. He makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. The food was phenomenal every dish was seasoned perfectly and portions were plentiful. The prices very reasonable for the service and food quality they provide. This is so far our favorite Italian cuisine restaurant I'm so glad we live close by we will be back. If I could give a 10 star I would!“

From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. Huge shoutout to Anthony and Paul in management—true pros who clearly care about the guest experience. They set the tone for the entire restaurant, and it shows. The staff is phenomenal: attentive without hovering, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. You feel taken care of in the best way.“
