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.“

“Great food and friendly staff. Deceivingly spacious compared to other similar venues. While prices are really not unusual they could be seen as a bit on the higher side, but the portions are pretty tremendous so could easily be a second mail with take home.“

“The cocunut shrimp served with an orange ginger dipping sauce. Nicely cooked with the perfect crisp. However, the soup of the day spinach, egg, and chicken broth was too salty. The atmosphere was great and the Italian music was very nice. They serve a big portion of salad. I loved the warm, crunchy, and sliced bread with butter. Good service, nice big windows that open outwards, a family owned business with over 30 years on the same location.

Parking: Free parking on the back of the restaurant. The paid street parking meter is a quarter for an hour.“

“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.“

“friendly people excellent food“

“First I wish I could leave a 100 star review. I have to follow a heart healthy diet. I first went to another place and ask the waiter what was heart healthy. She looked at the menu and said how would I know. And just shoved it back at me. So to Francesco we go. I walked in and ask the host a out heart healthy. She tells me that I can alter any item to eat...but she also double check. As soon as I looked at the menu I find 5 items that can be adjusted. When I order from my outstanding waiter TJ. he informed the chef to do low sodium. The chef actually made my dinner salt free an DELICIOUS. Francesco please reward these three for a job above and beyond. You have a forever customer. I did get the hostess name,so this happened on Sunday 9/8/24. Around 5pm. Sorry so long. God Bless you all for caring for a stranger.“

“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.“

“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?“

“They always have great bands.“

“They say authentic Italian Americans don't enjoy the Olive Garden. They are terribly mistaken. The salad is of course legendary, complete with just spicy enough pepperoncini. The meatballs are not as good as my grandmother's (that is an insurmountable aspiration anyway) but excellent. The wine list was excellent as well, with the usual more pedestrian selection of Cabernet, Merlot and Pinot Noir. We chose the Chianti, delicious. Our chicken dish was not only delicious but great for low-carb keto dieters. The staff at this location was beyond nice with the manager coming around to check on each and every table and the place was fairly crowded.“

“Looking for a quick bit after a doctor visit and found this gem. The seating area is small ( 3 tables) but spotless as is behind the counter. The staff is super friendly and food is delicious and huge portions. Had house salad, eggplant rollatini, pizza, chickem parm hero and for dessert a Nutella pie with strawberries which was sinfully delicious. Definitely will go back when in the area.“

“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.“

“Went on a Tuesday night had delicious soup, spaghetti and clams glass of wine and an extra glass of wine because the dessert ran out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone well worth going there sitting outside. What a great atmosphere can’t wait to go back.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing chicken cutlets sandwich w/mozzarella and tomatos thinly sliced on a hero and the bread was fresh and crunchy on the outside.... we also had a mozzarellas/red peppers/black olives salad.... delicious and the Coffee was so tasty!!!! Both me and my g/f always use sugar in our coffee , but here we didn’t even need it!!!! It was delicious!!!! The crew are so nice!!!! I recommend this place !!!! You could take out or eat in . They have a few tables that you can sit down at... it’s really cute!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!“

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

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

“Always awesome and delicious!!!“

“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.“

“This place is soooo good! I am pretty sure they are under new ownership and the food is definitely an upgrade. They have a HUGE menu selection and so many different specialty pies. I got a pepperoni and a grandpa slice and they were 10/10 delicious.
The staff is also super friendly and attentive. For sure coming back here and telling my friends.

Plus, it’s located right next to the DMV, so it was a lifesaver after spending hours waiting on line lol.“

“Great selection and great food“

“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!“

“Cafe Gio’s food and service is outstanding! They catered the food for our family after the funeral services for my uncle. My uncle was a frequent customer at Cafe Gio along with his two sons. I highly recommend the food and service at Cafe Gio.“
