50 Best Italian Restaurants near Whitehouse Station

“I can’t say one bad thing about this restaurant - the food, the service, even the greeting at the front door was all great. As soon as my friends and I walked in we felt comfortable. We shared eggplant rollatini and bruschetta to start, and each had pasta dishes (chicken parm & lasagna) for our main entrees. We each brought half our dinners home so we could share a dessert :) which was also wonderful (fresh baked chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron pan with ice cream). We WILL be back. This place is a gem!“

“Attended a party there. Great food. We had Caesar salad, meatballs (giant), fried calamari (really good!) and our choice of entree. I chose chicken parmigiana, first off as a joke I asked the server if this was for the entire table, a huge portion! Two large chicken breasts atop a good size serving of linguine. The red sauce was excellent. I can’t wait to go back.“

“bensi is my favorite restaurant. the staff is always welcoming and the food is absolutely amazing“

“The best food, service, and reasonably priced. Family meals are a great value when you don't feel like cooking. I have also catered parties here. Thank you, for helping us out with our Girl Scout troop!!“

“This is our GO-TO place for catering when we have parties. They are so accommodating, they can make anything on or off the menu, great pricing, and they are truly appreciative for the business! Every single time we order, our guests RAVE about the food. We went out on a limb and ordered a large cheesesteak Stromboli last night and people couldn’t stop eating it. HIGHLY recommend!“

“I never give five stars for anything, as five star would be perfection. Guess what, this is the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy. Produce is obviously fresh and high standard. I'm a bit of a foodie, and I've eaten in some expensive restaurants that don't have food as good as this. I won't go anywhere else.“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! The food is absolutely delicious!!!! This Italian Restuarant, in my opinion, is the best in Clinton. The owners and staff are customer focused and if you need an ingredient changed in a dish ordered, they are more than willing to go the extra mile to make certain that you are satisfied. The atmosphere is warm and quaint which leaves one feeling very relaxed and comfortable. Be sure to dine in this restaurant, you'll be glad you did!“

“Had catering for a party and the food was excellent! Great job 👏 👏👏👏👏 from Tony and his staff. Plenty of leftovers!“

“From the moment we walked in, we were treated as if we were sitting in first class. The staff was so attentive to our table even though they were very busy. We were not rushed and enjoyed every savory bit of food that was put before us. They also catered to me being a vegetarian. We finished our meal with the most delicious homemade gelato . if ever given the opportunity, please do not pass this gem of a restaurant up.“

“Got married there over a decade ago and have been coming out ever since. Many restaurants are good businesses and in addition to this, Demos and Jimmie show their passion for what they create. My fav is shrimp and scallops over pasta in a great cream sauce… steaks are great and Demos is a wizard in the bakery.“

“Awesome - love the broccoli rabe and sausage appetizer - so good Great pasta and chicken dishes also.“

“Consistently great food with weekly specials Tuesday - Thursday and Friday - Sunday. Very friendly staff. The owner Nick stops by the tables to ensure everything is to your satisfaction. He builds the menu himself - a graduate of Johnson & Wales.“

“Delicious food, great service and nice ambience!“

“What a delightful young man Ari is! He made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The service was excellent, thanks to Ari, and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this lovely family-owned restaurant.“

“This place is a hidden gem . We were there the other night with 5 people and everyone loved the food they ordered. We have been there a couple of times since it changed ownership and it’s great. It seems to be empty except on the weekends and I have no idea why. Maybe because it’s a few miles out of town. It’s more than worth the drive in my opinion !“

“That restaurant's amazing, you gotta try it! A real find in Raritan. The wood-fired pizza is next level — crispy, flavorful, and made fresh with every order. The Italian calamari? Perfectly golden and seasoned just right. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff treat you like family. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, Il Forno a Legna hits the spot every time. Definitely one of Raritan’s hidden gems!“

“The whole experience was great. It is one of our favorite restaurants. The owner Antonio is a great host and always comes out to speak to us. Our waiter, Greg, is always friendly, helpful and a joy to talk to. If you want great food, this is the place for you!!“

“Luna Rossa is an exceptional restaurant which is run by a loyal and dedicated team under the direction of Adrian. Our first time visiting this establishment was with a party of 10. Adrian took all of our orders including appetizers without writing anything down. The food was delivered to perfection. I am astounded by the diversity of the menu, the ability to switch out sides, the quality and taste of the food. The chefs are talented and cook to delight every palate. I can not say enough about this wonderful restaurant including their staff Carlos, Kevin, and everyone that works so hard to deliver memorable meals. I look forward to going back soon. Thank you!“

“Wonderful restaurants, great service and delicious food!“

“Staff is very welcoming & attentive. Food is amazing!“

“The atmosphere is the best part of Cafe Azzurro. Very good vibes for family dining. Service has been meh - they seem to get overwhelmed and prioritize large groups over smaller ones. Food is pretty good but Il Monello down the street has them beat in that category.“

“Three of us dined there 6/27 and chose different chicken entrees. Each meal was exceptional. This BYO is better than many of the Italian restaurants in the area. Can’t wait to go back. All three of us agreed it was 5 star worthy!“

“We held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Dora’s and overall had a great experience! We were already frequent guests and knew this would be the perfect venue. The food was absolutely delicious, and everyone especially loved the Dora Ravioli. They allowed us to rent the entire restaurant for our party and were very accommodating, arranging the tables as we requested and placing our menus out for us. It was BYOB and they even allowed us to drop off our wine prior to the event, which was very helpful. Thank you Dora’s for a memorable night!“

“Thank you so much for making my daughters Sweet 16 so beautiful!! Everything was perfect! The staff was wonderful and very attentive. I highly recommend them if you need a place to have a party! Great food and service! Again, thank you for everything!!“

“After many friends telling how good AMA is I decided to grab a pie and meatball parm sub to give them a go. My words will not give their food justice but it is delicious. Napoletan done the right way. Not to mention the owner is beyond good people. Greeted me outside while I was waiting for them to open and then offered me an espresso while my food was being prepared. We will most certainly be back.“

“Highly Recommend!! The Various Foods We Have Had From Joe’s Has Been Tremendously Delicious and Nothing Has Ever Been Better in This Area! Once Joe’s Was Highly Recommended To Us, We Have Absolutely No Desire to Go Else Where! Great Food…Wonderful and Friendly Staff! Always Greeted With a Warm and Friendly “How are You Doing Today”! The Quality of Their Food is Impeccable! WE LOVE JOE’S!! 🍕🥙🥪“

“Foods was good but obviously not true authentic Italian cooking.
Got endless pasta which comes with soup & salad. Serve was super pleasant and helpful with order and service. She even suggested getting another order of endless pasta, even though we were done, and we took it home as left over. She was great about keeping the bread and salad coming. You can usually eat for a reasonable price if you take advantage of the specials or are a member of their website and get emails about specials. Especially at lunch which is less expensive.“

“We love coming here for pizza! It’s absolutely delicious! My daughter always requests to come here for lunch. The gelato and sorbet is yummy too!! Richard and Alex always serve us with a smile. Such a nice vibe.“

“Best sandwich I have ever had! I highly suggest the Grilled Chicken with Fresh Mozz and Roasted Peppers. Cute and cozy place with friendly staff and great prices. I will definity be back!“

“All .. salad pizza is my favorite“

“This was my first time here and everything was great! Sandwiches, stuffed peppers, potato salad and the sausage wheel with provolone.“

“Rose and Joe run a top notch bakery. All of their stuff is fresh and delicious. If you want bread get there early though! It sells out quick! ❤️“

“This food is just phenomenal. So creative and delicious and the friendliest owners as well. Thank you! ❤️“

“Excellent food and better people. Food is very tasty, fresh, and great 'inventions'. Love Angelo, Lorenzo, and Emilio. They treat you like family. You will find homemade scones made by Angelo which are very good. No one makes a better white pizza than Angelo. All the pizza is very good, the bacon chicken ranch one of my favorites. And the dinners, Jim loves the seafood, are always very delicious. No better server than Lorenzo. He knows you and will recommend for what you might like. Love the hugs. Couldn't ask for a better gem in Flemington. It is my happy place, which is what is saved on my phone.“

“Best pizza in Morris County - Great staff and great food“

“Delicious thin crust pizza! Came upon this shop while wandering through Jersey. Originally local to the New Haven ct area, so am hard pressed to admit any place compares, but the pizza was amazing. Wonderful staff, very friendly. Loved the white pie, and took home the chicken bacon ranch for the kids. Will definitely pit stop here again while passing through Jersey. Will give Jersey the pizza win for the day.“

“These guys are the absolute best“

“Not only is the food delicious but the people are wonderful! They always remember our name and make our kids feel so special. If I could give it 10 stars I would, can’t possibly recommend this place enough!“

“Love their food one problem they always deliver to my house on a Sunday I called up ordering for delivery the guy told me that they don’t deliver to my area Told him your boss told me you do he asked his boss he then said oh well we’re backed up so why don’t you order from the Hillsboro one the Hillsboro one is further away from me then Flemington location I will give them another shot because I like their food but I’m making it clear I’m unhappy with their staff and the way I was treated when all I wanted was a pizza Sunday night“

“Absolutely wonderful! I ordered Mamma’s Tomato Sauce with pasta and it hit the spot! Tasty and amazing!! Couldn’t recommend more and I will definitely order again or stop in next time!“
