32 Best Italian Restaurants near Southampton

“My wife and I moved out to Lumberton over 20 years ago and never visited the Red Lion Inn. Our first time was in November of last year, and we were very impressed with the food and service. Now, we try to eat there at least once a month, depending on our schedule. The food is fantastic and filling. You don't get small portions. If you haven't been there, stop torturing yourself and go. It will be your new favorite.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, but the portions are so generous that your little ones can have some of your spaghetti and meatballs.“

“Cozy cafe recreating the lovely bylanes of Italy.Good selection of espresso beverages and delicious variety of toasts. Rustic, warm indoor ambience and great open air seating space.Nutella and nutty lattes were yummy, cold brew was good as well. Enjoyed their Italia, avocado and Nutella toasts! Will definitely visit again during the warmer season.“

“Went yesterday for a birthday lunch for my Mom's 75th. From beginning to end, everything was amazing. We had 9 people attending. We had 4 different appetizers, and all of them were delicious. The portions of the entrees are huge..... everyone took food home.The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with a big party. The lunch menu is extremely affordable. Thank you.“

“ITL 101 is one of the best restaurants we've ever been to. Reservations are helpful, as the restaurant seats around 50 and fills up fast. But the food is fresh, well prepared and taste authentic, just like you were eating at one of the better restaurants in Italy. Located in Medford, it's a quaint setting. For fine dining, this is a must.“

“Pirone's has a dining room with a simple and beautiful aesthetic. It makes you feel comfortable and unrushed. The food is consistently good, but not earth shaking. However, I believe they offer one of the best dining experiences around. I enjoy interacting with their staff - whether dining in or taking out. It's a pleasant and leisurely experience, especially after dealing with our rushed lives.“

“Love this restaurant - it helps that it’s right down the road and only spot to eat in Shamong lol, but honestly the food is beyond amazing and the atmosphere is always positive. The staff and owners are amazing as well. This place is a must!!! (Also get the espresso martini - you’ll thank me)Dietary restrictions: Able to accommodate gluten allergy!!“

“Simple and easy. I was in and out. Love their Italian hoagies but felt like a hot dog, just plain with sauted onions. I used to go to wawa, but they never have any available. Once I found they have them, I don't waste my time trying wawa anymore. Hoagies are a good size, so we share them. But this time, I was happy to get my tasty hot dog.“

“Nice dining atmosphere with comfy booths as an option. Two dining rooms - one has a view of a small pond. Almost always a lively atmosphere. Service is pretty good. Extensive menu. My favorite meal has been osso buco. I also like the different chicken or veal options over a choice of pasta service with soup or salad. I always get the soup. Their minestrone is very good. My meals have been usually good to great with the exception of my last visit when I got Chicken Maximo serve with old ruddy small asparagus pieces and a watery tomatoe based sauce. I will skip that in the future.“

“Great service and food. I had a special need for a military member who at one time was a resident of Medford Township. The owner was very accommodating and made me a special pizza to bring down to the Military installation on my visit today. Besides great food, the service is amazing.“

“Better than it appears. Roomy inside, friendly service, decent food, and fair prices. I had the chicken parm, good but my new crown came off my tooth. No reflection on the restaurant, just a mnemonic. Ate here after a short hike in Michael Huber Prairie Warbler Preserve.“

“A medford/medford lakes classic. Riv never fails. Family is straight from Italy. A timeless New Jersey cheese pizza done right. My brother loves the Buffalo chicken also! But the real magic is the chicken parm... (if you ask they will give you home made pasta )“

“The place does not look like much from the outside, the inside is the a cozy dive bar. Awesome super friendly staff kept our drinks and bellies full. The bar is big and had locals and regulars. They were friendly as well. There are a few high top tables and some seating in a small dining room. The food was surprisingly good. The steamers were in a delicious light garlic sauce. They had a chili special the day we went. The chili was hearty and good. The tony sandwich was great. The roll was super soft but not mushy soft. The taverna pasta was huge. Pasta with chicken,shrimp, scallops and crab in a blush sauce. They have live bands and karaoke and trivia on certain nights. Will definitely return for some of the other menu items that seemed good.“

“My girlfriend and my favorite local Italian spot in south jersey. Great for a nice date night! The chicken parm is top tier and the make fresh pasta! Get some fine wine and a FANTASTIC slice of cheesecake. The bread the give you to start is so good it's hard not to fill up on. Try this place out you will not be disappointed. Hospitality is A+ and usually don't have to wait.“

“Quiet and cozy atmosphere even with their usual full house. I've ordered from here countless times over the years and I have never been disappointed. Browns Mills can be hit or miss with pizza so I drive a little out of my way and it's well worthe it. They have a lot of specialty pizza's to choose from and they are all fantastic. We've had a few of their specials that aren't always on the menu like chicken cordon Bleu and it was delicious! That Sauce was definitely made fresh from scratch and was made traditionally which most restaurants can't execute. Impressive. Very Clean and the prices are fair. Anything you order from here, you will love for sure!“

The staff was helpful, the food was amazing! Very fresh and delicious!~ I recommend this café and we will definitely order again from here. Thank you to your team and compliments to the chef!~“

“This place is a guilty pleasure…. starting from the warm garlic parm bread and toasty crusty warm baked breads to the immensely indulgent sherry creme sauce drenched bacon wrapped scallops, a bit of insalada to cleanse the palate and and I was served the biggest plate of double breasted beautifully crispy chicken parm smothered in a fresh plum tomato sauce and baked with mozzarella and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese- the fire place warm light glowing, and vintage 20’s lounge sounds permeated the warm family environment, a truly delightful Italian Restaurant experience!Parking: Well lit safeKid-friendliness: Family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: One floor no steps“

“Villa Rosa does all of my catering needs a few times a years. Hands down they are fantastic. Everyone always raves about the food. The chicken flamingo is fantastic. The eggplant The Marsala the pasta anything I have ever ordered, has always been delicious and when it says it feeds 10, it feeds 10 comfortably when it says it feeds 20 it feeds 20 comfortably“

“Found this place almost by accident yesterday while driving between kid's baseball/softball games. Soooo happy we stopped! My husband and I got slices and my son got fettuccine Alfredo! The food was so good that we stopped back there on our way home today to grab pizzas to take home. Highly recommend the margarita pizza... their sauce is AMAZING! Owner and staff are super friendly!!! Can't wait for another reason to be near this place! Absolute gem!!!“

“Went to grab a few slices while in the area and man was I pleasantly surprised. Reminds me of finding a great mom and pop pizza shop in the middle of Brooklyn. Great crispy but not well done perfect amount of sauce and cheese. Great taste!Plus the staff was nice, friendly, and just made for a good experience. Love the working wood stove in the dining area too reminds me of home. Def worth the stop. We will be back!“

“For a large pie and 2 huge specialty slices, $22. Feel like you can't beat that nowadays. Very quick service and super patient when I didn't have my full order ready, along with an amazing feel of an old mom and pop shop. First time here and won't be my last.“

“Downtown pizza is a place that I always fell in love with when they opened, the pizza is so good, the classic cheese pizza is what got me hooked, so fresh with only the most quality of ingredients, I commend the owners for also hiring competent staff who make sure the orders are not only getting made, but are right and if they do make a mistake they are on top of it to make it right“

“This was one of the best meals I have ever had at a restaurant. Not exaggerating. I had the Chicken Pesto Panini, and it was perfect. The ingredients were fresh, and everything felt like it was the highest quality ingredients available. I can't imagine how every review of this place isn't a 5 star review.“

“Friendly staff, delicious food, great prices!! Me and my family went there to dine in and they had space inside and outside to choose from, which is nice when the weather is nice. We would definitely be ordering from here again for take out or dinning in.“

“I tried h this place for the first time today. I always pass by it but decided to stop in because I was craving pizza. Hands down one of the best over ever tried. I’m picky about pizza but their slices are just right. The crust, cheese and meat portions. All perfect. Definitely a go to spot when I’m in the area. The service was great and the staff were very friendly. 5/5. Highly recommend ❤️ ?“

“The very best without hesitation! Food is delicious. I’ve had several items from their menu, and the eggplant parm is amazing! You will not be disappointed. Pizza is delicious, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, entrees, all of it. You can’t go wrong. Nice seating area for dining in too.“

“First time here and was a great time. food was great and unique for example Garlic knot chicken parmesan sliders. My fiancée loved the ambiance also. Our server was Sydney and she was kind and made great recommendations on the menu. Portions were huge too and for a good price. We look forward to coming back again soon!“

“Edited review:I ordered again as I said I would previously. I ordered another tomato pie. I’m so glad I got an XL because my husband couldn’t stop raving about the taste, slice after slice. Hearty tomato sauce, lovely crust, garlicky. So delicious. And delivery was super fast!I highly recommend. This is now our go-to pizza place.“

“We ordered the works pizza with some customizations and fries. The gentleman taking our order was kind, patient, and thorough. Pizza was sooo good. Thin crispy crust and lots of toppings. Fries were fresh. My husband ended up buying garlic knots too when he picked up bc they looked good and they were spot on. Fresh, garlicky, and moist. 15 mins from order time to pickup. This will be our new Fri night pizza joint.“

“Solid white pie. It's what a white pie should be. I like the red, but it's a pretty standard issue.I think what the best part is, the slices. They're always there. Always fresh. Good, fair price.Don't sleep on their Grandma Square either.“
