10 Best Italian Restaurants near Bolton Landing

“Had a fantastic dinner at La Bella Vita to kick off my best friend’s bachelorette weekend. Our server Riley took excellent care of us!“

“The food at Cates was absolutely delicious! When planning our trip to Bolton Landing, we tailored part of our schedule around Cates being open, as their days of operation change when the fall season arrives. Everyone was so nice and attentive, from our waitress to the owner. We had the tomato bisque soup, which was delicious. One of us ordered the pizza, which was very good both that day and over the following days when we enjoyed the leftovers at home. The best, however, was the lasagna! It had plenty of ricotta and was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend both the lasagna and the pizza. The next time we visit the Bolton Landing area, we will definitely make sure to stop at Cates again!“

“Really really great bruschetta, everything tasted fresh. Vodka sauce was so good, we ordered the penne 2 days in a row on vacation. They also sell Lion Farm Cookies at the checkout and those s’mores cookies were out of this world! The staff were all very friendly also. Will definitely be a regular stop on our yearly trip to town.“

“Hidden Gem Just Outside the Village – A Must-Visit! We thought we were just stopping in for a quick slice… and ended up with a full, unforgettable Italian meal! Just minutes from the hustle of downtown Lake George, Number 1 Pizza feels like stepping into someone’s home—if that someone happens to be an incredible Italian cook. The specials drew us in, and we’re so glad they did. Everything is homemade—from the rich, savory sauce to the perfectly seasoned meatballs. The lasagna was layered with love, and the manicotti, made with delicate crepes, was hands-down the best we’ve ever had. You can taste the care and tradition in every bite. The owners are genuinely welcoming, the atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, and the food is the real star. This place isn’t just about pizza (though we hear that’s great too)—it’s a full-on Italian comfort food experience you won’t want to miss. If you’re in Lake George, make the short drive. We will be back!“
