48 Best Italian Restaurants near Carmel Hamlet

“loved the Pistachio cake from Luigi’s in Carmel so much that I ordered one for my mother’s 96th birthday. I was in Florida and couldn’t partake but my sister picked it up in Carmel and my mom, sister and family were able to enjoy it. There were 7 people at dinner and due to the size and height of the cake, you can see they barely made a dent (however it was completely gone within 2 days). Everyone was absolutely crazy about it and everyone sent me pictures and called to thank me. It’s a shame to even call it a cake because you naturally think of something you buy in a bakery. This is a whole different world. This cake is exquisite. The flavor is outstanding, it is extremely moist, it has a ton of filling and frosting but not that sickeningly sweet kind – this is all top notch ingredients and completely unique. I felt awful because I know I didn’t give Luigi’s much notice and I know his wife worked 14 hours the previous day baking. But I didn’t feel so guilty that it stopped me from ordering it and they were so gracious about helping me. As you can see in the pictures, the attention to detail, the edible flowers, the beauty of the cake made it a birthday present in and of itself. I just cannot thank Luigi and his awesome wife enough for helping to make my mom’s 96th birthday special.“

“What a treasure! Sightseeing over the weekend and stumbled upon this gem. Luckily we arrived around 5:30. We were the only ones there - for about 5 minutes. Within 30 minutes the place was packed! The menu had a lot to offer and it all looked delicious. We had the calamari to start and it was fresh and tender. For our main, I had the veal fungi and I was so happy to see lots of fresh mushrooms! My spouse had the spicy hot scallops and he said they were amazing. Our waiter was very attentive even though the place was completely full. It was fun to see so many of the locals meeting up with their friends. The hostess recognized we weren’t locals and gave us some great ideas for places to visit while in the area. Either show up early or get a reservation. You won’t be sorry.“

“Just left a crazy Thursday night at IL Forno. What a fun and enjoyable evening we had. We walked in with no reservations and the manager snuck us right in and we even got to the listen to an amazing singer. We have been here a few times, this was by far the most fun we had. Everyone was laughing. The staff which seems to be plenty was having a good time. The manager and Owners kept walking around and making sure all was good and everyone was happy. Thank you for restoring our fun Thursday evening with no COVID fears.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my sister, we started with steamed mussels in red sauce & divine bread. We ordered their Sunday sauce with Meatball,sausage,spare rib, bracelets on rigatoni W/a dollop of Ricotta cheese. Couldn’t finish all of it took the rest home. It was excellent!! served with crispy garlic bread. No room for desert. Service was excellent. Can’t wait to go back.“

“This place is one of my family's favorite restaurants for many years. We all refer to it as B's. There are so many great and delicious choices between the specialty pizza slices, salads, and pasta and chicken dishes. Rocky and team has always gone above and beyond for us whenever we order out, dine in, cater for a party or host a party in the back. We've never had a bad meal here and highly recommend it.“

“like the Sicilian pizza and the meatball hero.Always a friendly bunch of fellas.“

“This is the Best pizza in Mahopac“

“We love Arturo’s…it’s our go to for dinner with friends or just as a couple. the BEST martini menu we’ve ever seen and tasted. Food is always delicious and the service is always great. If you’ve never been, GO!!!!“

“The food is delicious, love their chicken parm dinner, pasta figoili, well, everything they serve. The employees are the best, friendly and always happy to see you! Don't pass this restaurant up. They are the best!“

“First time there. The food was good, the portions were large and the staff were very friendly and polite but with that being said, the service wasn't all that great. Drove up from the Bronx and even though it was enjoyable, I won't be going back. Why? Because I hate to be "nickel & dimed" ...I never question prices. I order what I want but when the check is upwards of $70 but I see I was charged for both cups of coffee, it's a turn-off! A little advice: let your customers be aware that there are no free refills on a cup of coffee instead of surprising them with a $10 charge for coffee. Good luck!“

“look at the size of this slice of cake. 🥲 it is beautiful and just as delicious! i needed to try it before diving into the pizza because come on.. cake. i always like what i get from mario’s and was not disappointed with our door dash order. hooray pizza! hooray huge slices of chocolate cake! i feel like bruce from matilda right now.“

“This spot is my go to for amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. But what really makes it special is Kayleigh, the best waitress ever! She's super friendly, remembers my order every time, and just makes the whole experience way better. If you want great service and tasty dishes, this place is a must visit!“

“Had the best Chicken Bacon Ranch Roll ever. The dough was perfect, the chicken was tasty and the melted cheese mixed with the ranch just put it over the top. Well done. Can’t wait to come back for another one.“

“Very consistent good Italian food. A nice menu. My go to for penne a vodka, chicken sorrentino. They do close early. There prices recently for pasta went through the roof almost no difference between getting a pasta dish or a chicken dish. I would definitely lower the pasta prices, come on pasta is free. But with that being said It is good food but just not a everynight spot bc of the prices“

“I was at Traditions last night for Disco Night. It was my first time and I had an absolute amazing time. From the atmosphere, DJ, people, bar statf, drinks etc. I will be coming again to first Friday of the month. Thank you for allowing me to have a memorable time.“

“I've passed by this place several times and never thought to go in—thank God I finally did. This is a true Italian deli. My mother, who is full Italian, was in awe of the items they had—it brought back memories of her childhood. I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich, and it was fantastic—one of the best I've ever had. The owner was incredibly sweet and accommodating. If you're looking for authentic Italian specialties like pasta, sauces, sweets, or just an amazing deli sandwich, this is the place to go.“

“Ordered sandwiches and antipasto tray for my daughter’s sweet 16 party and everyone said how fresh the meat was. The sandwiches were made perfect they did not fall apart and were cut perfect size. The antipasto tray was fresh as well. First time I went to deli as I’m new in town. Highly recommend. Cannot wait to go back. Thank you to Arthur Avenue Deli!!“

The staff was quick and professional, my order was ready the second I walked in, and the pies looked like works of art. The ingredients tasted fresh and homemade, and both pizzas were packed with flavor. Definitely my new go-to spot over here, amazing place.“

If you find yourself anywhere near Somers, NY, definitely stop by Sal's Pizza and Pasta. You will not be disappointed.“

“Mezzaluna restaurant is a great place to visit. I live in South Carolina and when my wife and I travel to NY we always visit Mezzaluna several times a week. The food and service is always excellent as is our usual waiter, Nick. He is great at his job, very friendly, observant, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The owner who we recently spoke with on the phone is very friendly and makes you feel welcome and special. If you are looking for a great place to dine in I highly recommend Mezzaluna Restaurant“

“While traveling from Massachusetts to Texas, we stopped off the highway completely famished and discovered La Strada. What an incredible surprise! The pizza was absolutely amazing—crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and perfectly balanced toppings. Honestly, it was one of the best slices I’ve ever had. Finding a gem like this right off the exit made our road trip even better. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re anywhere nearby!“
