50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bayport

“I have been coming here for a few weeks now and I can comfortably say it’s one of the best pizzerias I’ve ever been too. The food, the employees/owner, the atmosphere, and the prices. Everything is great I definitely recommend coming here and I personally will continue to come back. If you’re a fan of spicy food, I 100% recommend the buffalo chicken slice and buffalo chicken knot. 10/10 recommend I will certainly be back for more“

“The food from the pizza place and the market is outstanding and never boring over at the market. You can find different meals and different specials!“

“My family and I went to them since they first opened.. and when I say there was NOTHING that they made that was anything below amazing, believe me! From their pizza to pasta, to rolls and salads.. even their garlic bread. The hospitality they all provided, especially Benny, was enough to make you remember them forever.. then you add on their food? Forget it. Nothing holds a candle to this place and the family. They are SORELY missed! I have yet to find a salad/vinaigrette, or a marina sauce, from any other place that comes close to this place. I dream of that antipasto!! Thank you for all your years of service to the community. You are so, so missed. I hope your family is enjoying retirement! Love always, Victoria “Bella” (Benny called me that ever since I was a baby!!), Alice, and Raymond ❤️“

“Yes!, but I have been there a few times all have been great but this last time. The food was salty. I mean every dish. We spoke to manager who was extremely nice. Apologize and did the right thing. But I will go back for sure“

“Visited this restaurant after show at Bellport Playhouse. Very nice inside and the service was amazing. My husband enjoyed his Filet Mignon, he loved it! My meal on the other hand, chicken della casa was not good at all. The chicken was so bland I couldn't eat it. I should have sent back but didn't by that point I lost my appetite. I did order the dessert tiramisu which was really good. I would go back but next time I would try another dish.“

“Amazing food Nicest people Very clean Obsessed with their rigatoni rustica Grilled chicken panini Grilled chicken salad French fries and bbq sauce 😋 Yummmmmmm“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great music. Great people.“

“Staff and food were amazing. High recommended“

“The best Italian around from the best family in the business! It was so nice to dine here again after quite some time and it was even better than I remembered!“

“This is my fiancé and mine official favorite restaurant of st.James and surrounding areas! Always great food and staff, we have even used their catering and the owner Sal always comes over and says hi! Keep it small and make sure you come to this amazing small business. Skip the sushi and big chain restaurants 😂“

“Had my bridal shower here and it was a dream! The food is delicious and the staff is wonderful. The catering manager Byron is a pleasure to work with and was so accommodating! Our guests can’t stop talking about how great the event was!“

“Whether you want to order a pizza to take home , or eat in the dining room. Vinnie’s Mulberry is the spot.

Any meal I had there was excellent. The service is impeccable. The atmosphere is family oriented. So it is like having a hug with dinner. I like that appetizers, soup, salad, main meal are brought out in steps. That way you can enjoy the courses. This has been my favorite spot to eat since last summer. Had taken my family members there. Me and one of my good friends go there all the time. My first time there, they made me mocktails that I requested. They were great.

Go there with your family. There is something for everyone. You will have a nice time.“

“A little too saucy but I must say, amazing customer service. We picked up a large pizza and met my fiance down by the bay to eat while the kids played. I called and told them the pizza wasn't even cut fully, so we were unable to eat it. Mainly my kids because one has sensory issues and can not have cheese hanging out everywhere or else we would have just ripped it apart. They actually drove down to the bay and cut it for us!!!!!! Outstanding“

“Love their food. Just not happy with the pizza“

“Absolutely excellent, pleasantly surprised“

“My husband gets Too Good to Go from you guys weekly. I had to leave and review and say that the BBQ Chicken Slice is amazinggggggggggg. Absolutely amazing. Everything from you guys is great, but this slice is on another level! 🤌🏻😚💕“

“It was my first time dining here, and I was very pleased! We split the fried calamari arrabiata style, and I had the chicken mannino, which was a lighter dish cause of the vinegarette as opposed to a thicker sauce. My family enjoyed their dishes as well, and of course we saved room for dessert. The captain jack cake has become my top 5 favorite dessert of all time, and we will definitely dine here again! Shout out to Dawn, what a lovely waitress!“

“Whether you dine in or order pizza to go, you will be happy you went to Mama's. I love coming here on pasta nights (Monday and Tuesday) for the (very reasonably) fixed price meals that include soup/salad, entree, dessert, and wine. There's always enough to re heat for lunch the next day. If you have friends from out of town that want to try real long island pizza you should order from Mama's. I moved away and I cry every time I eat their za. The servers are so hard working and friendly. Shout out to Christy!! She's killing it!! Ps - pasta nights get BUSY so it would be smart to make a reservation.“

“😀This is the third party he has catered for us. Sooo good. Thank you!!“

“Such a wonderful experience! We had the blackened tuna done perfectly, ordered 5 different pasta dishes all perfection not to mention the lemon cake and creme brulee was perfect!“

“Thank for my roast beef and mashed potato and my buffalo blue pizzas 🍕 yesterday, my husband was so happy I bought his two favorites back to Pennsylvania for him! They travel great and always delicious 😋“

“My wife and I had a delightful dinner here during a Thursday evening late last month. When we arrived, we were glad that we had made a reservation, because most tables were occupied already. Live music was provided by a cover band playing popular tunes from a variety of eras: it was well-received by the patrons, some of whom even danced! Several members of the staff alternated serving us; all were pleasant and helpful. Our food - pasta primavera and wonderful, warm bread - was delicious, as were our wine and beer. I look forward to the possibility of another meal here, if we visit the area again.“

“Took my girlfriend here for dinner. Unassuming place right in the shopping center. We were seated immediately and were given nice bread. The chicken special I had was really excellent, and my girlfriend enjoyed her pasta. I honestly didn’t think the food would be as great as it was considering half of the place is a pizzeria. Service was really good as well. I will definitely return!“

“This was my spot growing up in East islip. Great food and people! Always grab a slice when I’m home“

“I attended an event Friday night and this place blew me away on so many levels. The food was amazing, but the service was even better. Between Kaitlyn giving me a sample of one of the wines because I told her I was picky about wine and Zack accommodating an absolutely ridiculous request, they were all just amazing people. I’m autistic and I make some ridiculous requests sometimes, but Zack didn’t even bat an eye. I have pet rats and I saw that broccoli rabe was on the menu as a side, so I asked if I could take home like a single piece and he didn’t even blink, he just said to remind him before I left. I will definitely be patronizing them in the future“

“Friendly service and delicious food.“

“This place is for the foodies! We dinned at the Patchogue Location on a Saturday 4pm and had the place to ourselves which was nice. We ordered The Sals fried chicken bowl with caesar salad, it was so good! we also ordered the mac & cheese and this was probably one of the best i’ve ever had, 10/10 must try. The parmesan truffle fries are perfectly crisp and delicious. The risotto balls were also very good! Our server Gianna R was so sweet and attentive. Highly recommended this place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️e“

“They have been working with so many families in need. They are helping feed Long Island families while the SNAP program is still not being funded. In addition to a friendly eatery that truly cares about people their food is amazing. So many options to choose from! Stop by and say hello, grab some delicious food and help spread the love. Donate today or share their mission to feed Long Island families in need during this difficult time. No child should ever be hungry.“

“They catered our party and the food was fabulous. Their meatballs are soft and the best we’ve tasted. The trays were filled to the top. The chicken parm, chicken francaise, and pasta dishes were great. Hero was great too. I was a little hesitant hiring them only because I had never used them before. I decided to use them because we had gone there for dinner a few times and loved the meatballs and other dishes (chicken bruschetta for one) and their homemade dipping sauce for their bread. I could be happy with the dipping sauce and bread alone, delicious! We will definitely use them again to cater. They delivered and were right on time.“

“Ordered Pickup tonight on their app because it was New Year's Eve. Must have been busy because it was scheduled for 50 minutes after order completion (7:10pm). Even though I gave them my cell number they only confirmed my order by email. At 7:00pm I got a text that my order would be ready at 7:10pm. When I got my order home, the Family-Style Lasagna Bundle (serves 4-6) was crushed on one side so bad that the cheese was stuck to half of the aluminum lid. Even though I only live 15 minutes away, the included 12 Bread Sticks were still warm in their foil lined bags and the included Jumbo House Salad was still ice cold in it's plastic container including 12oz bottle of Olive Garden Salad Dressing (interestingly the expiration date on the bottle was the next day, still good though). Had to microwave each lasagna portion before serving. But the Meatballs (5) Parmigiana appetizers where an absolute joy. I ordered the Gallon Bellini Peach-Raspberry Iced Tea which was very tasty and went well with everything.“

“We had a delicious meal with the family.“

“Great food, great service, great ambience and fair prices make for a great dining experience!“

“I love the Pastaria! I have been going there for a long long time. It's super cute, they have good service, and its a sweet spot in my heart for their contributions to our community. We love you, Pastaria!“

“Great place to go with friends or significant other. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. The food is fresh and delicious. Great drink selection. The service is very good. If you have not tried Virgola, you need to go!!“

“Both round and square.“

“Great place with great staff. I recommend!“

“THE BEAT SALAD (added shrimp & avocado) ! Holy HEAVENS! OH MY DAYS! I had to sit in the parking lot to chow down. Absolutely worth the wait. Super delicious. Honestly I forgot to use the salad dressing. That’s how yummy this is. Will be back! Thank you all!! #DELISH“

“Reliably great food and friendly service!“

“I recently dined at CIBO in Patchogue and ordered the Mediterranean Sea Bass, and it was delicious.The pan-seared filet was cooked beautifully — crisp on the outside with a tender, flaky inside. Their signature drink was soooo good ! The atmosphere at CIBO strikes a great balance between upscale and comfortable. Loved the colors. Tiffany, our server, was attentive and friendly, making the overall experience even better. Highly recommend and will be coming back.“

“Had a wonderful lunch with three friends today. Great food and service. Such a wonderful surprise will certainly make it a go to place. Thanks for a great lunch.“

“Amazing Pizza! Nice and crispy and delicious. This will be our new go to spot! 🍕“

“The litteral only downside is that it's so popular it's a little cramped walking through the front door. And when the worst thing about your restaurant is it's too good that says a lot. The food is delicious and reasonably priced the torta del sol bring a notable stand out. The staff is friendly attentive and personable, and the bread is out of this world. I highly recommend this place“

“We were in town for a dance convention and after the long drive from CT we were all starving. We ended up at Francescos and we did not regret it! My friend and I couldn't decide so ordered the chicken piccatta and the chicken crispino to share, and our kids ordered a chicken parm and a chicken Ceasar salad. Everything was soo fresh and delicious! If we are ever in the area again we will definitely come back.“

“Meatballs-tasted almost identical to when my Italian, childhood best friend’s grandma would slow simmer them ALL day long every Sunday!! The grilled chicken in the Greek salad was very moist and soft. Loved their 6 slice pizza too-great cheese and perfect amount of sauce that’s way less acidic than other local pizza, maybe partially because they use less sauce. Staff were very kind too. Highly recommend.“

“they are the best. Tried about a dozen items and all were terrific. Very accomodating.“

“Dinner tonight. Amazing white pizza…cheesy and garlicky! Also ordered a pizza with crispy eggplant and added 1/2 hot peppers. The owner is very accommodating. He will basically put together whatever you’re in the mood for. We will definitely be back! 🍕“

“We love their vodka margarita pizza (if you haven’t it’s a must have). So we decided to have them cater our daughter’s birthday dinner. The catering packages were affordable, good selection, plenty of food and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food and the pizza. They also delivered which was a huge plus. Thanks so much!! Definitely will be ordering again. Shout out to Autumn who was so helpful, easy to place an order with and pleasant.“

“My friend and I got gluten free pizza and it tasted great! There was a complication with my order and they called me and communicated and we came to a solution. When there was a an issue with delivery, instead of canceling my order they spent 15 minutes on the phone with me trying to find my address. Very kind people and great food!“

“I came in there over the summer with my wife and my grandson, Gerald. We were greeted by a young lady by the name of Brooke. Let me tell ya, she was a wonderful waitress to mi familia y yo! She brightened up out dinner experience and made the whole restaurant glow with positivity. I have never experienced such amazing service in my 73 years of life. I especially want to thank her for being nice to my grandson. he has severe autism and she was just a doll! She even sang him happy birthday (he was turnin 7). I tell ya what, if I hadn't lost so much money to these darn taxes, I would've left a $100 tip for this sweet girl. PLEASE give miss Brooke a nice raise. And give her my best wishes. Hugs & Kisses, -Rupert, Gerald and family <3“
