32 Best Italian Restaurants in Albany

“Absolutely wonderful experience! I took 12 employees out to celebrate the holiday season and see a show in Albany. From the time we called for a reservation, right through dinner, the entire staff, and especially our server Casey were so welcoming and accommodating. The drinks, food, and service were all superb! Casey made us feel like we were the only thing that mattered in the restaurant, while the kitchen and bar handled some special requests with ease! In a world where the meaning of hospitality seems to have been forgotten by so many, this restaurant still knows what it means, and executes flawlessly. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back when in the Albany area. (I may even have to make a special trip back just for this restaurant!)“

“We stumbled on the place by chance and were not disappointed. The bartender, Jill was very friendly. Our meals were full of flavor. My husband got the chicken parm and I the barramundi. Finished by a tiramisu martini with a side of tiramisu. Sooooo good. We will definitely go back! Oh! The fresh bread and olive oil topped with tapenade was delish as well!“

“We have been to Villa Di Como multiple times over the last year including recently for a birthday and the consistency and quality keep us coming back. Everything we’ve had has been delicious and the service has been great too. Can’t wait to be back.“

“My VERY FAVORITE restaurant ❤️❤️❤️“

“Pollo alla Rusa, perfection, bread and butter, perfection, vegetables, perfection, portion sizes ample. BYOB Chef seasoned my meal expertly! Atmosphere could use a bit of upgrading. Best real Italian meal I have had in Florida.“

“Best coffee in Albany, flavor and comfort guaranteed!“

“Fast, friendly service. Great food!“

“My group stopped in from out of town and had such a great experience! My dad is very particular about his food, especially when it comes to wings, and he was so impressed! Since he lives in Buffalo, he has a hard time eating chicken wings out of town, and he found that the wings here were just as good! He also absolutely loved the pizza. On top of the amazing food, our server Jackie was incredible. She was friendly and provided great service which made the experience even better. If you’re in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping here. We’ll for sure be back next time we’re in town!“

“Our new place to go. We did the family meal takeout. It was delicious, everything was great. We even added meatballs and sausage, plus canoli's for dessert. The price was more than reasonable for the amount of food. Top notch all the way!!!“

“Visiting from Oklahoma and so glad we stopped here. They sat us in a conservatory looking area that was beautiful and sunny. The food was delicious, pasta cooked perfectly al dente. Chicken wonderfully moist. Our sister was attentive but not hovering or rushing. Already planning on coming back when we head back to the airport next week.“

“Great place to stop when passing through Albany for some quick fresh Italian food take-out for the whole family. Seriously, forget the Thruway rest areas. If you have kids whose staple food is boiled noodles and butter, no matter the time nor the day, Bellini's will satisfy, and won't break the bank. Without a Noodles & co around for at least 100 miles, Bellini's has you covered, and is a must-stop for us. I can also recommend the meatballs and sausage.“

“Love a good slice of pizza
Hate a bad slice of pizza
So when I say I love that this store opened up
That comes from my heart and my soul
Best pizza I've had since my grandfather died my grandfather was Sicilian
Shout out Joseph Luciano
Miss you Grandpa

But when it comes to a slice of that restaurant that's right quiet friendly environment they could not have done better if they tried
I wish this was a chain of these
So I can eat there pizza more often“

“I have ben to few Sbarro's, as far away as Nassau, Bahamas. the producte are consistent. I do like the pizza, new york style and Sicilian . Usually when. in colonie center I get ziti to go . After I pay I usually look at the wide pizza selection and enjoy it vicariously . The other things look good. As a good italian, who has done many reviews. As many as I come across. Sbarro's new ork style is quite good and if I was hungry for pizza, I would not pass it up .“

“Very good place!! My only issue is my wife and I went there in the late afternoon and it was basically empty, between lunch and dinner and the place was excessively loud throughout the building. Even the soda machine was loud. You have to talk very loud just to place an order.“
