50 Best Italian Restaurants near Babylon

“Ate here for the first time this past Friday 12/6. Walked in and loved the decoration of the interior of the restaurant. We ordered the Crostini for an appetizer, and I got the Mezzelune Al Tartufo and my Fiancee got Strozzapreti Gratinati for our main dishes. For Dessert we got the Apple cake. Our waiter recommended the Apple cinnamon old fashioned. Everything was phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back. They should promote that there is parking in the back so people don’t drive by if their isn’t parking in the front.“

“After spending an enjoyable Sunday afternoon at the Argyle Theater, we decided to try Restaurante Gemilli and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, Gusippe our server was friendly and attentive, the restaurant is immaculately maintained. We started with the hot antipasto, for the entrees we had fresh ravioli in a light tomato sauce and linguine with shimp, clams, calamari and mussels. We finished with a fresh made pastry topped with apple and carmel sauce and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a couple of Cappuccino's. The restaurant has a large parking lot so there is no worry about parking or having to walk any great distance. This restaurant definitely exceeded our expectations.“

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

“Angelo’s Little Italy is the best. I’ve been there for dinner several times and they never disappoint. From the service to the food, everything is great. This past weekend, we had my sister’s bridal shower there. Tina the owner and her staff went above and beyond. We were able to arrive an hour and a half before our party to decorate. They even offered to hang a command hook on the wall so we could hang something. We had a brunch menu and Bellinis, mimosas & bloody Mary’s. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try for lunch or dinner or if you are hosting a party. Can’t wait to go back again!“

Angela makes a napoleon cake that is out of this world! Presentation and Service is excellent! Go for lunch. Go for dinner. Plan a small gathering— it will be your favorite place!“

“Olive Garden has a few different appetizers, main dishes, and drinks. We tried the shrimp appetiser, and it was amazing. Our main dishes were great as well and so was dessert. This specific location in Bayshore, New York, is so spacious and clean. The service was outstanding, our server was so good, and the manager stopped by a couple of times to make sure we were getting everything we needed. We were really happy all around. Will for sure come back.“

“exelente atencion and amazing food“

“Nice Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Farmingdale. I went on a Friday night with some friends, we had drinks, appetizers, and obviously main courses. Everything was good from the bay clams to the fried calamari and the muscles with a basil cream sauce. For dinner, also Buco, chicken, Parm, Bronzino, and eggplant dish, and a chicken and sausage platter were served. The weight staff was excellent. They were constantly offering us more drinks topping off the glasses of water. Dessert and coffee was later served overall we had a very enjoyable evening. Vespa  in Farmingdale is essentially located near the Nassau County Suffolk County border. It's a great meet up spot for friends who live in Suffolk County and as well friends who live in Nassau. I would definitely recommend Vespa in Farmingdale. I recently read that they opened up a second location. I will definitely be back to this location. Bon appétit. “

“My husband and I had Chicken franchese, Gnocchi sorrentino, Sides of caesar salad and penne ala vodka. Everything was delicious. Even the oil to dip the bread in was amazing. I loved everything! We can’t wait to go back and try the family style dinner.“

“Just like the golf course this venue is one of the best hidden gems on Long Island! Beautiful room. Great staff. Amazing food. What more could you ask for?“

“My wife and I recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter. To say the party was excellent wouldn’t be accurate. It was more than excellent. The food, the service, the staff could not have been better. All of the 55 guests raved about every aspect of the gathering. Many of these guests had never been to Bacaro before but now said they would definitely be coming back. If I had to come up with one negative… I couldn’t. Thanks for making a special day everything we could have hoped for.“

“Want to thank the folks at Tre Scalini for helping me organize a funeral luncheon for my brother in law’s mom. They are not from the area and tasked us with finding a place near Pine Lawn. The team was easy to work with, accommodated all of the family’s allergies and was affordable. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend.“

“Amazing food and a very attentive staff. Truly a great dining experience.“

“good food and good service i like this place alot“

“Honestly the best service Ive gotten from a pizzeria. I had to stop ordering from Ginos of Lindenhurst because they take forever to deliver and they always forget the sauce. Everyone is great here. I order from here at least twice a week and they never dissapoint.“

“Was there with a large group…food was delicious and the wait staff was excellent! Highly recommend…I will return with my family!“

“This pizzeria restaurant has delicious pies. Marconys has a nice restaurant side. The food is delicious. The owner is from Italy. We’ve been getting our pizza here and decided to cater a few dishes. Let me say , I am extremely picky with eggplant parmigiana. I usually make time consuming dish but I did not have the time. Marcony’s eggplant parm was the best ever. My kids keep raving about it. We also had the chicken franchise that was tender and delicious! We will be ordering here again very soon.“

“As the official pizza judge of Long Island I like this place. Small shop but power taste. No happy hello but I respect the confidence. Tough crowd but, the grandma slice was loud. Place is to the point. No sugar coating. I didnt find the regular slice appealing. I settled for a grandma slice. Solid 4 outta 5. Slightly sweet , crunchy and the dough is flavorful. Spanish speaking is a plus.“

“A quite, pretty local restaurant with excellent Italian dishes and great service.“

“We were very fortunate to use Mama Sbarro's for a recent meeting at our organization. Nicole did an amazing job providing us with everything we needed at a very affordable price. And the food was AMAZING! Thank you so much! We will continue to use Mama Sbarro's for a long time given their amazing service and food!“

“Always awesome and delicious!!!“

“Good food good service - always a pleasure“
