50 Best Italian Restaurants near Blauvelt

“If you were a fan of El Bandido on Rt59 in Spring Valley you will love Tua Cocina owned by Ernesto from El Bandido. Food, service and atmosphere are unsurpassed...some of the staff followed him and make this place feel like home. Come visit.“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Giovanni’s Pizza in Blauvelt! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the kindest, most welcoming staff—they truly make you feel like family.
The pizza is absolutely incredible. The sauce alone deserves its own spotlight—it’s rich, perfectly balanced, and hands down the best I’ve ever had. And the Margherita pizza? Easily the best Margherita I’ve ever tasted. Fresh, flavorful, and just perfection in every bite.
I also have to talk about their house salad with grilled chicken because WOW—it is beyond delicious. The combination of fresh veggies and olives is just right, the textures are perfect, and the grilled chicken is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. But what really takes it over the top is their creamy balsamic vinaigrette… it’s absolutely addictive.
Everything here is made with care and quality, and you can truly taste the difference. Giovanni’s has become one of my absolute favorite spots—I’ll definitely keep eating their great food!“

“Excellent! Food was so fresh and fabulous and so was the service. Pizza crust was delicious and light. Everyone was so very nice and accommodating. Great atmosphere and concept of Pizza by the foot. So good that weekends are packed, so make a reservation or try a weeknight. You will not be disappointed!“

“We have been going to Bosfa Restaurant since it opened . The food is terrific. The seafood is so fresh. I can’t say enough about it. The service great. What more can I say.“

“Verana is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Bergen County. The food is consistently incredible, from the homemade pastas to the perfectly cooked seafood and steaks. You can really tell there’s attention to detail in every dish. The atmosphere feels upscale but still warm and comfortable, and the service was professional without being pretentious. Easily a restaurant you can go to for a special occasion or just a great night out. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Mambo Italiano was such a great find...Awesome, authentic food. Everything is made from pastas to desserts. They also have a secret ingredient and warm and welcoming staff who clearly love what they do. Thank you.“

“I have never had a bad experience here and I mean that, I’ve never even had a slightly bad experience in a slightly negative way. The food is incredible, the service is wonderful, the setting is perfect, I love how small and intimate it is, and I love the fact that’s family owned. I go to this restaurant once a week and God bless you to the owners and the staff for not only a job excellently done; but I hope there are many more years in the future, of us having the privilege of tasting the deliciousness that comes out of your kitchen.“

“A huge THANK YOU to Ken and everyone at Soprano's in NM for helping make our NMHS 40th reunion a success. Ken took his time to help me plan a menu, order, and execute a hot and cold buffet for over 60 people. The food came precisely when promised, piping hot, and everything was delicious. (All on a very busy Saturday Night might I add!). I will certainly be calling them again for my next catering as well as take-out dinner!“

“We had a wonderful experience at this pizza place! The brick oven calzone and pizza were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.
What made it even more special was enjoying the meal with our grandchildren. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for family time. Everyone loved the food, and every bite was truly tasty.
We’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“On December 12th my law office had their holiday luncheon at this wonderful restaurant. I also ordered a tray of meat lasagna for Christmas. If you have never had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant, I suggest you run - do not pass go - and get your butt there and eat the most delicous food on this planet. The chef created the meat lasagna - a simple dish - and elevated to something that just melts in your mouth with deliciousness. LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant!!“

“Reno’s is a hidden gem in Yonkers. We recently celebrated my mother in law’s 90th there with about 30 plus people and we couldn’t have had a better day. The food is absolutely delicious and Reno and his staff were very attentive and accommodating. The addition of Ron Masciandaro’s wonderful piano made the day that more special. Grazzie Mille❤️“

“I order pretty frequently from Dom’s in Nanuet since I work nearby. Yesterday, when we got our order to Sloatsburg, there was an omission in the order ( we really should have checked before we left). As always, Dom’s went above and beyond to make this right. They drove my order to Sloatsburg and included several delicious extras! Their catering always makes our events delicious, but yesterday they made it extra delicious. Dom’s has amazing food and even better service.“

“Very nice dining experience. The restaurant is quiet so it’s easy to converse. All our meals were delicious, and staff was friendly. Would have been five stars but once we received our main course the staff was less attentive. We had to flag them down to get our plates cleared and to get dessert and the check.“

“I’ve been going to Santucci’s in River Edge for over 30 years, and it continues to be one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the staff always makes you feel welcome. Their chicken parm is hands down the best around — always perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It’s a true neighborhood gem with that warm, familiar atmosphere that’s getting harder to find these days. Whether it’s pizza, pasta, or a full family dinner, I’ve never had a bad experience. Santucci’s has been part of my life for decades and I hope it stays in the community for many more. Highly recommended!“

“My wife and I were there for a political function combo meeting and Christmas luncheon. This establishment is super clean, bright, and cozy. The food and wine were delicious. I had chicken parm. Was fantastic. Was batted down thin and breaded and seasoned to perfection. VERY tender, I only had to use my folk to cut. The marinara was fresh semi chunky lite delicious and perfect. The fresh bread came in handy to clean up my plate. My wife has a fresh pasta marinara dish and NO complaints there. The waiter and waitress were professional, non obtrusive, thoughtful and caring about their service to us. Thank you iL Portico for having us and making us feel welcomed! Merry Christmas!
