50 Best Italian Restaurants near Teaneck

“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!“

“I was recommended this restaurant by a nearby hotel. The food chef Bennie prepared was great. Really well prepared and the service provided by Monica was fantastic. Very attentive, polite and informative.

I'll certainly be back during my stay.“

“We don’t dine out frequently, but when we do, we love Amarone! We had not been there in quite some time, so we went to celebrate my birthday. From the moment one enters, one feels welcome. The atmosphere combines elegance and comfort, warmth, and the delectable aroma of culinary delights to come. Charming, funny, and attentive, Tony provided us with excellent service. The food was fantastic. We started with the clams oreganata. The white wine sauce made an excellent accompaniment. My husband had the ribeye steak accompanied by shrimp scampi, broccolini, and mashed potatoes. I tried the grilled veal chop. With mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes, it was superb. We will be back!“

“food was good and so was service. very accommodating“

“Today I was delighted with the service at this restaurant, the young man who served me was very neat, gentle and very polite.

The food is lovely, the chicken with slices is according to its price, I was very surprised by the simplicity, but at the same time how charming this place is.“

“Roberto’s has the best pizza anyone can buy. I travel 40 mins away just to get some of the pizza from there. I’ve had so many birthdays/friend get togethers here. All the staff are absolutely awesome, very outgoing, and friendly. I grew up living in Teaneck then moved here to West Milford where pizza can never compare 😆 I grew up going to Colleseum pizza and Roberto’s kept the magic alive with the same traditional style pizza. I’ve brought so many there and every single person can’t wait to go back, while also taking their own trips down there for some delicious pizza. Word on this place really needs to be spread around to show the gold mine off for what it is. It should be way bigger than just Teaneck and that’s saying something. Teaneck has always had great food/pizzerias, but this one takes the cake though.“

“It's nice and simple with delicious pizza, and extremely spacious! There are plenty of seats plus a private party room in the back, so it's great for friendly gatherings and birthday parties. They have great service and you can order quickly.“

“OMG! This is by far the best pizza place in Teaneck, and for me? The best I’ve ever tasted. I have ordered pizza and dishes from here for more than 10 years now. When I lived in Teaneck I would eat here and take my family of 5 here all the time. After the games and my daughters cheer at Teaneck High school, this was the place to go. Now they are married adults with children of their own and when they visit me, the pizza is from Victors. I now live in Englewood but I place my order, and they deliver. Always on time. The gentleman on the phone, that almost always takes my order? He’s a sweetie, that’s what he calls me. He’s so polite and always makes sure my order is right. Sometimes finishes my sentence cause he already knows it’s me by my voice, love that! I give this place a 5 star because of the service, good delicious pizza and food and because the staff is very polite and friendly. The cook I don’t know him but he gets an additional 5 stars from me. I love how he makes the chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce😋perfecto!!!!“

“My family has patronized this establishment for years. When it was Jerry’s Pizza at the top of Teaneck Road. We enjoy it. Most times we get family Pie which is HUGE bbq chicken wings always cooked to perfection and chicken parm hero.The slices are delicious also.27 years and counting eating their food when we don’t cook.Definitely a go to for pizza Parties and school functions.Thanks so much for consistency and delicious food and great service.“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

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.“

“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.“

“Whether you live in NYC or visiting this fine city you need try Ill Tinello NYC on East side. I am in love with everything there. Wine, cocktail, food, dessert, staff and of course Benny. Everyone and everything is A+. The one and only negative point is when you have to leave. That is only followed but setting a date for a return. Love ya Ill Tinello NYC East !!!!“

“Best fresh pasta in the city“

“It’s a restaurant that’s reminds me of my childhood and my early Twenties that was my go to Italian restaurant. I loved everything about this place and enjoyed the great food. I took my wife to celebrate our birthday together and talked about how amazing it was growing up in this neighborhood.“

“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.“
