49 Best Italian Restaurants near Carmel Hamlet

“We stopped in on way thru town and it was fantastic! Honestly best Italian meal I’ve ever had! Staff and Luigi were delightful! We’ll be back!“

“My wife and I recently found this place about a year ago. Have gone 4 times and have had nothing but exceptional service and food. I sort of want to keep this place a hidden gem. They recommend reservations, but walking in should be no issue for a small party of 2-4. However, every time I make a reservation, we are greeted and seated immediately with our table prepared and water already served, which is a nice touch. Not many restaurants actually prepare the table for the reservation that was made previously.Each time we have had the same waiter which has been great. He is always accommodating and polite and attentive. Other staff have also been friendly and kind.Soft butter is always served to go with the delicious bread. The fried calamari is great. The chicken parm is good. My favorite has been the NY Strip with Gorgonzola cheese melted on top. Cooked perfect each time. The cheese gives it a great flavor that just works well together. Had it twice and my wife also had it and it’s delicious each time. And for dessert the tartufo is probably the best I’ve had. Highly recommend.We have decided to make this a place for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversary’s. It’s a place that we truly enjoy and look forward to coming to for years to come. Highly suggest it. Prices are very reasonable. Much more expensive places with mediocre food. This place is worth every penny.“

“Food and service was amazing! ❤️“

“Try the eggplant parm wedge! We stopped in to pick up lunch, the owner is so nice and the food is delicious!!“

“Truly amazing food. We were in the area Saturday and found Gappy’s as a nearby place to eat on our Google map app. We took a chance and could not have been more thrilled. It does not look like a lot in the outside and I think that was appealing to us. We were hungry and tired. The inside was beautiful though. Very very clean. The bartender told us that we could sit anywhere we’d like. She immediately brought us over menus and got us a couple of drinks. The menu was huge and offered so many different dining options that no one could leave there hungry if they tried. I ordered the Gappys sampler appetizer and my husband had the fried ravioli and we split a salad. We probably should have stopped there because we were gently full at that point. Our large pizza came out. We had the meat lovers and added mushrooms and jalapeño peppers. It was absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly thin. we were only able to finish less than half of it but did take the rest home. Service was attentive. Prices were great and the food was amazing!!“

“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.“

“Parking: We love Oscars and have been here a number of times. Each time introducing someone else to the delicious food and cocktails, friendly, profession service, relaxing atmosphere.
As for parking, we have been lucky every time to get a perfect spot. The restaurant is located with other business’ around it. We have dined, not at peak hours so we were fortunate to find a close spot each time.
Overall Oscars is our first choice of restaurants at only 8 miles from home. We will be returning often.“

“Bacio is often our “go-to” restaurant when we are out with friends..“

“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.“

“We traveled to NY from Alabama and after leaving the city, driving the Taconic Pkwy up to Albany, we happened to stop in this quaint town. We decided on pizza for lunch and were not disappointed. The owner was amazingly nice and friendly. The pizza was AMAZING!!! Thank you for serving us today! Excellent!!!!!“

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

“This is the Best pizza in Mahopac“

“The Best Tuna Tartare ever.“

“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!“

“Best pizza and garlic knots. I really mean that, this is where I go for pizza and I've tried all the other places. Lots more on the menu that looks good, but I love pizza so never got anything else.
Very friendly service, it's nice to have a business treat you well, something that is missing from most places. The service alone is worth coming here, but it helps they have the best pizza.
Get pizza by the slice or a whole pie. BBQ chicken, chicken bacon ranch, pepperoni, etc.
Also one of the only places to get seafood pizza, I love their seafood pizza.“

“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 recommend that everyone should come here! The food was outstanding and we will be back! Many, many times!“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at Eduardo’s! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. Kayleigh, our server, bartender, and restaurant manager, was the highlight of our visit. Her friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. The food was exquisite, the pizza and pasta dishes hit amazing everytime, but Kayleigh’s exceptional service truly made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend Eduardo’s!“

“Great pizza prob the best in town for sure but I tried ordering pizza 3 times this month and the pizza maker wasn't there and found a private party.. or whatever. Odd they don't have someone else who makes pies. The woman at the front desk is very kind. The slice website they use to place orders doesn't reflect their availability.“

“Fantastic NY Pizza Shop with a wide variety of delicious, huge, original with tons of toppings. Family favorites are the chicken parm pizza, gramma pie, salad pie and the Sicilian also try the chicken rolls, delicious. The service is friendly and fast, it's the type of place where they know everyone by name. Truly a gem.“

“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’m from Brooklyn. Moved to Westchester 20 yrs ago . I pass this slice of heaven on way up to Lime Rock. It’s a piece of Italy here. There is no place like it in this area. Hands down it’s like Arthur Ave I’ll b there tomm at 745 am“

“Maria's pizza the best in town!!“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. If you want to know what eating in Italy is like just drive to Mahopac to this restaurant. Starting from appetizers to the most delicious food and the most delicious decorated deserts. Staff is super friendly. Check out the attached picture !“

“BEST PIZZA IN PUTNAM COUNTY! If you haven’t been here yet you don’t know what you are missing!“

“Always great food, never disappointed. Delivery is quick and friendly. Everyone who works there is so sweet.“

“They sell good food love the food“

“On my way home to Saratoga from a long weekend in NYC, I stopped at the deli. Patriot, Bronx Bomber, and #19 roast beef wrap were my to go items. Everything was really delicious! ? A special hello to my favorite WWE DIVA and fellow IONA COLLEGE (now University) alumni Mandy. ?“

“This man makes a killer pie. Dough is top notch, I can drink a glass of his sauce it's so good, cheese is just salty enough. Put them together, in a wood fired oven, and you have perfection.If you like rubbery fried calamari, don't order it here. The calamari is tender, as it should be. The best ingredients and the correct technique.Venue is a pizzeria, small and clean.“

“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.“

“First time customer. They had an array of gourmet slices available but I stuck with the plain on this trial run. It was excellent. Thin, very crispy crust, folded with a snap and no flop, a very good sauce but not overwhelming, and a good cheese balance. Service was friendly and my slices were served very hot, which is the only way I like my pizza. I will return for a whole specialty pie to go.“

“We are so grateful that we stopped by Sal's Pizza and Pasta in Somer's, NY. After enjoying a couple of delicious slices of Nonna's Pizza. we took home a menu, knowing that we would be back in the near future to sample more items from Sal's. If you find yourself anywhere near Somers, NY, definitely stop by Sal's Pizza and Pasta. You will not be disappointed.“

“The food is always delicious. Whenever I order from the place I get so excited. The wings are delicious surprise or delicious although the mozzarella sticks the cheese is a little dry. Everything else is really good. Most of the time they’re on, but the longest they’ve been late is like 20 minutes. I recommend going here.“

“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“

“We eat here all the time!“

“They really stepped up at my Nephews Graduation party .
Everything was excellent.

Parking: Free parking at location

Kid-friendliness: Very kud friendly menu

Wheelchair accessibility: They are very wheel chair accessible.
Mother in law is in a chair. It was very easy to get her in and out of the place.“

“A hidden gem. Unlike other Italian restaurants in Brewster, they know how to make a tomato sauce that actually tastes like tomatoes! And is light on the salt, unlike the salt bombs at the most popular Italian restaurant nearby. The food is positively delicious. And their family meals are both delicious and a bargain. We had a last minute family get together, and ordered 5 family meals. It was a huge amount of food, and they had the entire order ready in 30 minutes. On a Saturday night!!!! We were certain that we would have ample leftovers, at least 1/3. But it was all devoured! Because everyone loved the food. It was greatFinally, the owners and the young girls that take the orders are so nice. A true delight.This is truly a hidden gem. Yum!!!!“

“Great old school pizza. Will definitely be back!“

“I really enjoyed the food it was really amazing ?. The atmosphere was really great. The only thing that was a bit off was that it took an incredibly long amount of time for us to actually get our food. We got there at 6:15 and we didn't actually get our dinner until 8 and by that point I was beyond hungry because our party was so big the appetizers were not for a group that size. That being said the portion size of the food was HUGE! Definitely priced right ?. Everyone loved their food. Everyone had leftovers! I'm pretty sure if my friends made reservations EARLIER, possibly we would have had 2 waiters instead of just the one. If you have a big party, make reservations at least a week in advance. We were a party of 15 and they actually forgot one of my friends food and she sat there waiting for 5 minutes until they came over to put cheese on her ziti and she had no Ziti ?. They quickly recovered and got her a huge bowl of food but her meal was pretty simple, it didn't even have meat in it. The party of 15 I think was just too much. The other people dining looked like the service was pretty normal. Just ours too a while.“
