50 Best Italian Restaurants near Roxbury

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious food! Great staff!“

“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!!!!“

“Four of us enjoyed this hidden gem in Randolph this evening. All four appetizers and entrees were superb. In both taste and presentation. Great value for the price and the services was superior. I recommend this restaurant highly for all.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“This HAD to be one of the best pizza I had in a long time. Rumors have it in the pizza world, is you ever wanna try a places best pizza always order a personal pie, that will tell you how they really are. So I ordered a personal Mushroom, Plain and a specialty one. Let me tell you this, IF you like a good crunch pizza..... On every bite.... Good flavor that stands tall..... This is the place to go.... ABSOLUTELY, so far, one of the best around.... This hole in a wall will surprise the s#$& out of you. Next time I will go for a full size pie and tell you how that goes....It will be interesting... I have been in places where I love there personal size and didn't like there full size....and let me add..... It was so good that I ate the personal Mushroom before I got home and I love down the road in Morristown... That's how good this wasI AM TELLING YOU if you like a crunch to your pizza, and you eat the whole slice.... This places personal pie is just for you....The two guys behind the counter was extremely nice... One had to be the owner, a bigger guy great personality and knew his stuff.... And the counter guy was just as nice and eager to help....So I have no dog in this fight.... Did I get lucky, maybe maybe not.... I will go back and order the large and definitely a person for the ride home.... It will be interesting.... But this is a true review.... Thanks to the guys who made the pies....“

“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!

“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!)“

“Buffalo Chicken pizza with Blue Cheese drizzle was delicious. Great, friendly service...“

“Olive garden is one of my favorite restaurants. Every time I am in New Jersey I like to stop in and have a meal here. From there minestrone soup, salad breadsticks and the super delicious chicken & shrimp carbonara bringing all together.

Its a nice family environment you will definitely leave full and satisfied... 💯💯

Thank you Olive garden“

“Ordered form catering menu. Very happy. Food was delicious. Delivered on time definitely recommend for your catering needs.“

“We had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at The Windlass and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We were having a Christmas wedding and the Windlass was decorated so nicely for the holidays! It fit the vibe perfectly! Donna helped us plan our dinner every step of the way, promptly helping us with any questions we had. The waitstaff was excellent, food was delicious, and the lakefront location was gorgeous! We highly recommend the Windlass for any dinner party you may be having or even just a night out. We’ve also eaten at the restaurant on a normal night and had a great experience as well!“

“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!“

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

“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 love the pizza and pasta“

“Best pizza around ! Friendly staff/Good prices“

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍“

“Excellent food! Friendly atmosphere as well?“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“
