50 Best Italian Restaurants near Carle Place

“They renovated recently and I wonder if the place changed hands. The ambience and food have lost some old world Italian charm and depth. Everything was very good but we went there previously because it was phenomenal. It was just good this time. It's all relative I suppose.“

“I had Mauro’s cater my block party, and I couldn’t have been happier! The food was absolutely phenomenal—everything was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with everyone at the party.

I would highly recommend Mauro’s for any party or event. We will definitely be using them again!“

“My wife and I are from Bay Ridge Brooklyn, with plenty of great Italian restaurants too choose from. We happened to be in LI, had not eaten and stopped to eat before the getting stuck on the Belt Pkwy home.
We are so glad that we did. The food was delicious and the staff were fantastic and welcoming. We had the baked clams and seared tuna, delicious! The beet salad with the quinoa, freshing! The salmon cooked perfectly! The squid ink pasta with seafood (I didn't share) was that good.
My best wishes to the staff and continued success for them all.“

“Celebrated my husband's birthday at George White Restaurant on a Sunday evening. Great menu with lots of choices for every taste.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true Italian Joint ! Amatriciana, Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe made to perfection! . Appetizers are very good as well my favorite is the fried artichokes.

Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“The owner is great, the bartenders are great, Kerry the manager is so kind and nice and accommodating. The food is delicious; there’s too much food there’s always at least two meals for each order the food that you make. The overall ambience is fun as the patrons that frequent this restaurant are regulars. There’s just a homey and fun tinge to this Bellmore Classic.“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the entire setting family style dinning. We both love eggplant very much the seasonings were not salty or spicy plenty of sauce stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese. All of what we could see were large entrees no fru fru at all. This is another local good place to dine in Floral Park.“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! As a parent, this meant the world to me because I did not want her to feel uncomfortable.. thank you and we will be back! Please support!“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“We lucked upon this lovely place when staying in a nearby hotel due to a canceled flight. I highly recommend the burrata appetizer; our other dishes were great too but came from the specials menu so you may not be able to get them consistently. Soft shell crabs, veal osso buco... but I think anything you get there will be fresh and of the highest quality. Good wine list too. If we ever find ourselves in the neighborhood again we will make a point of returning to Franina.“

“Ordered for the first time last night, they were super accommodating since we called at 8:45 and they close at 9:00…. They made us 5 pies and I’m was so appreciative. They were so nice and even recommended one which I absolutely loved (with potatoes!) we can’t wait to go back but to eat there so we get the Pizza Hut out of the oven! Amazing owners and such a delight to have in valley steam!! The owner explained the ingredients and concept to my husband and his friend. They can’t back telling us so about it!“

Thank you to Rudy who took care of us and thank you to all the people involved who made the night a great experience.“

“One of the best Italian restaurants in Lynbrook or anywhere else. They use the freshest and highest quality ingredients and prepare the food exquisitely. I ordered takeout tonight for six people in my extended family and served it family style, and everyone was raving about the food. We ordered Scallops Oreganato, Shrimp Stuffed with Crabmeat, Chicken Francese, Zuppe di Clams White Sauces and a few appetizers and it was all superbly prepared. Several of us were from other towns and repeatedly asked me how to find this place so they could visit in the near future.“

“The meal was delicious. my son and I had the Penne Diane and asked for the chicken to be blackened which was perfect. my daughter had the Pesto Sole and said it was the best and my husband had the Snapper which was perfection.“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“I am in love with this place. Besides the classic Italian menu items they have unique dishes like their Blueberry Meatballs and Calamari Verde ( my favorite ) add to that the wonderful staff and you have a great place to take family and friends to.“

“Food was delicious and the service was great!!! Will definitely return.“

“The staff is outstanding 👏 👌
They are relaxed and eager to please. We were 40 people for a 50th Wedding Aniversary and allowed everyone to order from the menu.
Unheard of to serve hot specialty foods all at once. The dood was Plated with care and artistry. They served amazing Chocolate martinis and catered to everyone's wishes. The pizza looked outstanding!
I recommend this place with high 👏 praise.“

“I ran into a small hiccup during my visit here and the staff handled it with so much kindness and understanding. They went out of their way to make sure I wasn’t left without what I needed. I cannot express how much I appreciated the gesture. It truly says a lot about the people running this establishment, and that alone gives me enough reason to continue to support and recommend Villa Milano and its staff!“

“highly recommend. everyone always asks where we cater from. nothing is ever left!! delicious food always. the string bean salad is one of my favorties. the raviolis are made fresh there. if you want an amazing meal go see them!“

“Awesome food great friendly service one of our all time favorites“

“It is a small white-cloth old school italian restaurant located in what is essentially a strip mall. Atmosphere is cosy. It was half-full when I was there, and the noise levels were fine. Food is standard Italian fare that you would expect to find. They give you free bread with olive oil, along with parmesan cheese, olives, salami, and peppers. I had the veal parmigiana which was great. Crab-stuffed mushroom is a great appetizer as well, probably my favorite dish I had there. Waiters are excellent, friendly and professional, have all been working there for many years.“

“excellent wait staff. manager, always accomidating to your needs. food dabulous..lamb chops fantastic. they will try and accommodate all your needs. book a reservationn4 the weekend.“
